Jason had nights like this down to a science. It was routine. His stepfather, James Quinn, all magical being and "can do no wrong" persona, would get angry. First it was breaking glasses, then it became more physical. Jason tried to fight back and protect his mother, but it was getting out of hand. It was routine, like he said. Jumping out his window, calling the police, and running off to Cassie's house, his childhood best friend. That was what he did. Running was his specialty, but how many times was he willing to run before the people he loved suffered?

Around the Fire
Whiny and depressed, James hated absolutely everything about his life, despite coming from a rich family. That was exactly where the problem lied; he loved his mom, but wouldn't have minded if he woke up one day to learn that his father had disappeared from the surface of the earth. Until then, James was only left with two options: wait and endure the insults, the humiliations, and the beatings or... leave. Not exactly an easy task when his mom adamantly refused to leave and when asking for outside help was basically akin to suicide. That was unless he met a group of strangers that wouldn't be capable of divulging his secrets.Complete

Sailing With Destiny
"Do you have any idea how damn frustrating you are?" He trapped me between him and the wall. Stubbornly, I looked squarely at him, "You say this like it's news to you." He pursed his lips, clenched his jaw, and stared at me with darkened eyes before he closed the gap between us. I stared at him squarely as I felt his body heat radiated off me, my lips parted and my breathing picked up a notch. He placed one hand on the wall and brought his lips an inch away from mine as the other hand trailed up my arms, "I am going to make you feel my frustration." I ran my finger along his jaw and dared him with my eyes, "I'm Mila," I grinned, "You can try but we both know you won't succeed." He ran his thumb over my bottom lip, "Don't take my love for you as weakness," he stated and captured my lips with a fiery kiss.
