"Do me a favor Chris," he said in a serious manner. "Take her out to dance for me...it's been so long since she did."
His question caught me off guard and I didn't know what to say.
Lucas had been my best friend since college, but I had never made him aware of what I felt for Svenja, his wife of ten years; the memories, the moments, the history we shared.
Although that was long ago, something changed after the accident. I'm not one to promptly draw conclusions but one thing was certain...there was a growing tension between us.

"Tell me" He breathed out. "Wh-what?" I stuttered, staring into his eyes. Ugh, this man didn't know how much his little actions are affecting me. "N-No, I just wanted to have a dance with you. I do owe you one" "Tell me that you're jealous" He leaned down. Our face were inches gap. His chest rising and his eyes looking down at mine. His lips were about to touch mine. I knew what he wanted and I wanted it as well. My heart thumped frantically against my chest. "Teo, what if I'm really jealous? Wh-" He pressed his lips against mine before I could finish. As soon as his lips met mine I felt a shock flow through my whole body. My heart pounded in my chest and my knees got weaker.Complete

BROKEN HOPE (Lucas & Emilia Book 2)
I was so damn naive it's no wonder I've ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I'd begun to understand the depths of his betrayal. It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now. Surrounded by danger and at the mercy of my husband's enemies, I'm forced to face one final bit of truth. Much like love, hope is for the weak. I was a fool to believe in the vows and promises they made. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 2 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc. For the complete experience, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.Complete
Abusive Love
"Jordan why do you keep doing this to me!" "I didn't do anything!" "Liar." I watched as his hands fly up and down towards my cheek. I jumped up my face steamed up. I look up to him my eyes flooding with tears. "You are so worthless! You unfortnate whore!" "Chris please stop." sobbing down on my knees. "Shut up bitch." Kicking me straight into my stomach. Soon after grabbing me by my shirt and pulling me up and our gaze locked. His eyes cold feeled with anger and hatred. He rushes to the wall slamming my back straight into it I let out a groan. He looked at me nothing is changing in his eyes. "I love you Chris please stop I love you." I say lifting up my hand to rub on his cheek. But instead he through me across the hallway.

The therapist asks him " actually I feel as if my adrenaline rush is thrilling, sometimes my heart beats fast and......I can't...breath..and thats when there's this-" He laid eyes closed and relaxed "- tingling feeling in you" His therapist finished with a brief sigh.

a language only you know
A dance through time - past and present moments, and a look at the relationship of two girls, a trip to Barcelona, and promises made throughout their lives. -- "Well... It doesn't count that your touch lingers just a bit more on her waist when you're hugging her, right? And it's just simple friendship when you brush unruly strands of hair behind her ear and she blushes? Surely, it's platonic that you let your hands gently run over her back and her shoulder blades when she's asleep with you in bed? And, obviously, it's purely friendly behaviour when you pay for her tickets at the movies with a grin and a wave of your hand, and you spend more and more time alone with her, and for your free choice art assignment you painted her, and you stare at her for a bit too long to be just friends, and when people say the word 'home' your first thought isn't a place, but her (herherherherherher-she's everywhere)... You're doing okay, right?"Complete
