He looked at me with a weary look in his eyes. He opens his mouth to talk and even though it's forming words, no sound is coming out. I'm in a daze, but I decide to tune in for a few seconds. I hear,
"Cancer," says Dr. Springfield in a hushed tone. He's standing close to the door, like when I receive the news, I'll go crazy. I don't though.
"Wait, what?" I say while my eyes grow wide. Just as tears form.

"Get your hands off her. Or I will smear your fucking insides on these very walls" his eyes no longer shon the bright brown it always did. They no longer looked loving and amused like they were a few hours ago, they looked dead; his eyes were dead and his soul was too. He told me I shouldn't know what he was because If I knew I would run and the truth was he was right, I wanted to run as far away from here as possible. His fists clenched, his muscles tensed and his body shook to the point I knew he would lose his sanity if the man behind me was to say anything back to him. "Let me go or he'll kill you!" I hissed at the man behind me but he blanked me. "You're a mutt" he snapped and squeezed my breast which made me whimper "She is mine" That's when he lost his last bit of sanity. • • • #Book3 third and final book in the eternal seriesComplete
Grady Boys
Ursula, in the midst of dealing with her mother and brother's death, gets sent to Alaska so her father, battling cancer, knows she is taken care of. While there she meets her new "roommates" a pack of males, five of them to be exact. She is thrust into a journey where she finds that love is sometimes unconditional, but death isn't an excuse to die. Excerpt: "What the hell do you want?" I demanded, eyes blazing. She just stared at me a moment, her eyes wandering to my clothes which consisted of boxers. She then cleared her throat, "I think I have the wrong address. I'm looking for Dalton and Jill Grady's kids." "What for?" I asked, ignoring the pounding in my head. "That is none of your business, now is it?" she spoke harshly, probably a side effect of me being so mean to her. I crossed my arms, "Being that I am one of them I'd like to disagree. Now what the fuck are you doing here looking for us?" I demanded. "Oh," she mumbled unsure. "I wasn't aware that there were males." "We are all male," I growled, since she had yet to answer my question. "Now answer the fucking question or I will slam this door in your face." "I'm Ursula Hawkins," she said with a raised brow. "Apparently I am staying with you for a while courtesy of our parents."Complete
Playing His Games
I shifted uncomfortably in my seat as he stared across the table at me. I could seriously drown in his eyes. He was intoxicatingly attractive and he had to know it. That's why he was acting strange around me. For some reason, he looked at me as if I was the only one there with him. As if nobody else were here. And his voice... it pained me. It actually pained me with how utterly seductive and husky it always sounded. And the way he smelled all the time. I don't know why he smelled so strong, but I didn't mind. He smelled like evergreens and a hint of mint. It sounds like a bad combo, but it dizzied me with how lost I got in it. The thought of not being able to control myself, my thoughts and feelings and body when I'm around him, infuriated me. I was so good at holding myself together now, and he just unraveled me so easily, leaving me a mess. I wasn't the slightest bit afraid of him, and I had no idea why either. Just being in the same room, I felt like I didn't have to look over my shoulder. I didn't have to worry. I didn't even know who he was, and he still drew me in. "So, you were in California before? Why did you move?" Grace Hatfield asked, looking at him. She is our school's college and career advisor. She took me in and adopted me a couple years ago. She even gave me her last name. A saving grace. Why had she invited him here? Why did he come? He turned to her with a smile and a shrug. "Guess I just hadn't found what I was looking for yet." Something about the way he said it, sent a shiver down my spine. Why did I feel like there was so much more meaning behind his words than he was letting on? "Well, I hope you find what you're looking for." Grace said, and he turned to me with a devilish smirk and a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Something tells me that I will."Complete
Never let me go(COMPLETED)
I grab her hand pulling us chest to chest looking deeply into her eyes "You said we were over Hanna what did you expect me to do?!" I yell my grip on her wrist tightening she looks into my eyes all I see is pain and regret and I'd caused it I'd caused all of it "I didn't expect you to go and kiss the next girl who laid her eyes on you" Her voice breaking under the emotion she looks down at the wooden floor I lift her chin with my finger our eyes locking "I love you" I realise this was the first time I'd ever said it she looked shocked her shoulders were shaking she grabs her bag heavily sobbing and runs out the door leaving me... Yes another Haleb book that I've been dying to write XxxComplete
Conversations in the bedroom
Ferrara is in her final year of uni and while everyone around seems to be getting settled or wild, she feels like her life is stuck on pause. But it's fine, right? She still has half a year to figure out who she is and what she wants after all. Fabio knows exactly what he wants and it just so happens to be completely at odds with what he has to do for his family company. Dragged from Milan to an American college town, he's counting down the days. Except the more he's away, the more he starts to wonder what he's actually going back to... As Ferrara and Fabio meet it's hate at first sight but for some reason they keep ending up in his bed. And it wouldn't be so bad if it was only that - great sex and banter. But it's not. Cause then there are the conversations. And God help them both - they might actually understand each other better than anyone else. ** "So, you're coming today around dinnertime, right?" he asks me the moment I pick up. "Hi. And yeah, it's Friday." "Good. Before tonight - any hard no's'?" "Um..." "Something you don't tolerate or like." "Well, it's actually a good idea to venture into this topic though I thought we're going to talk about it..." I clear my throat before continuing, feeling awkward talking about it in a public space "You know, face to face. I think it would be more adequate for this kind of talk." "Ferrara, I'm at the grocery shop. I don't think there'll ever be a more adequate time or place for this discussion." he tells me after the most irritating sigh I have ever heard in my life and I take a deep breath to calm down. If he wants to talk about our sexual barriers while he's grocery shopping and I'm at a cafe then so be it. "Ok, fine. You can spank me, but I draw the line at anything really hurting or being highly uncomfortable mentally." There's dead silence. "I meant hard 'no's' regarding food, Ferrara. Like intolerance to something or allergies. But good to know."
Choosing Fate (Book 3)
"I'm just going with what the wind is telling me." "And what is it telling you now?" I took another deep breath and opened my eyes. "It's telling me to stay." *Mild languageComplete
Unwinding Ties
I look up to find him studying me intently, his gaze lingering on my eyes. I'm used to this reaction - people are often fascinated by my heterochromia - but something about his scrutiny makes me feel exposed. "Your eyes," he says softly. "They're extraordinary." I feel a flush creeping up my neck and quickly look away, busying myself with preparing the antiseptic. "It's a genetic condition called heterochromia iridum. Nothing extraordinary about it, I assure you." "I beg to differ," he responds, his voice warm. "They're quite captivating." I ignore the compliment, focusing on cleaning his wound. "This might sting a bit," I warn, applying the antiseptic. To his credit, Mr. Anderson doesn't flinch. "You have a gentle touch, Nurse Hayes. I hardly felt a thing." "Years of practice," I murmur, not meeting his gaze. "The cut isn't too deep, but I'd like Dr. Chen to take a look. He'll determine if you need stitches." He nods, then asks, "Have you been working here long, Nurse Hayes?" "A few years," I reply, keeping my answer vague. I'm not in the habit of discussing my personal life with patients, no matter how charming or influential they might be. "And do you enjoy it? Your work, I mean."Complete
Ahreane
-- Spin-off to the Omega series-- *Sneak Peak* Tears streamed down her face, she sniffed feeling her airway closing. All around her fire rose high, burning everything in sight and she couldn't stop it. She didn't have the control. "I just wanted to be normal...to be accepted and loved," she sobbed and sniffed. "I didn't mean for this to happen." Her father held her flamed body and frowned. "I'm so sorry." Her body quivered in his arms and her features began to change. They were angled and strong, still the same Ahreane, but more masculine. Her male counterpart surfaced and he panted. "I'm sorry." "It's okay, it's going to be okay."Complete
