My name is Lila Bennett. Two
 months ago I turned eighteen and I was officially considered an adult. 
For most teenagers turning 18 means freedom and finally reaching the age
 where your parents begin to hand the reigns of life over to you. For 
me, turning eighteen meant something entirely different. My birthday 
signified the day I was no longer a ward of the state of New Jersey, I 
was no longer an orphaned child given up by my unknown parents, and I 
was now considered an adult. Some people may think being considered an 
adult is great, but for me it meant I was no longer able to guarantee a 
place for me to rest my head at night. The most
 recent director at the group home I was placed in said I could stay 
until my bed was needed. With the turnover rate at most group homes, I 
knew that promise of a bed would not last long. Fantastic. Fortunately, my boss was giving me the opportunity of a lifetime up in Andromeda Bay, NY. This small town in the middle of the forest could be my only way to a better life. Hopefully I can finally find my happiness.

CAUTION CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT. "Say it, Allison," he said, his voice low as he trapped me against the rough wall. A shiver ran down my spine, his voice pulling at me, the power in it making me want to do anything he asked. I shook my head, afraid my voice might betray me. His teeth lightly grazed my neck causing a sigh to get past my lips. I could feel him smile against my skin. He knew he was going to get what he wanted one way or another. I tried to slip away, but he grabbed my wrists, pinning them down tightly. He pressed his hard body against me. I was aware of every inch of him that was touching me. "Don't think you can just leave. We're not done yet." My stomach tightened at his words, the desire inside burning for him. My damn body at war with my mind yet again. He slid his hand up to the edge of my shorts, slowly working it's way up as his mouth trailed small nips from my neck to my collar bone and lower, stopping only when he reached the fabric. I could feel my resolve weakening as his hand reached its destination. "Say it," he demanded. I moaned, my head tipping back as he moved expertly. I wanted to say it then, I really did. But if I said the words, there was no going back. ***************** Allison Cole has just turned seventeen. Most girls would be excited, but she doesn't see it as anything special.
