My Family, My Life "Sequel To His Butterfly"
Sequel to His Butterfly Eleven long months have slipped away, and the echoes of their mother's laughter still elude Asher and Alexia. The warmth of her embrace remains a distant memory, leaving an ache in our hearts. Tears stream down my face as I envision Avery absent from the joyous celebration of our children's first birthday. I strive to be a pillar of strength for us both, but the weight of her absence grows heavier with each passing day, as she misses out on the abundance of love that surrounds her. In this time of hardship, Emily and Brendan have emerged as steadfast companions. Emily faithfully visits, tenderly combing Avery's hair and engaging in heartfelt conversations as if she were awake. Her feeble attempts at humor directed at Avery serve as a gentle reminder that, no matter how dire the circumstances, we can find solace in one another's presence. Meanwhile, Brendan takes it upon himself to keep Avery connected to the world beyond her bedside. Each day, he immerses himself in the twins' lives, regaling them with amusing and endearing tales of their mother's youth, ensuring that her spirit remains alive in their hearts. I miss you, Avery, I miss your laughter and dazzling smiles. I miss how you challenge me at every turn. I never knew that the world was brighter when you smiled your dazzling smile upon me. That the air was fresher when you were in my presence. That you were my true home, a place where I could be free to be myself. You are my heart it beats only for you and our kids. I won't ever say goodbye to you, to us baby. Ranked #1 in Bi Rain Ranked #8 in in-laws Ranked #9 BWKM Finished On 01/24/21Complete

Wet Secrets: Bound by Lust|18+
She was never supposed to be his. But she made the mistake of smiling at the night. And the worst the.....night..... smiled back..... There's someone in the dark- Someone who knows the curve of her lips before she speaks. Who memorized the trail of her wet hair against her back. Who watches. Wants. Waits. He doesn't knock. He doesn't ask. He just takes-in silence, in shadows, in dreams soaked with hunger. She thinks she's alone in the shower. She thinks no one hears the moans she buries in her pillow. She thinks her secrets are hers. She doesn't know someone's already claimed her. Every inch. Every sound. Every drop. And then-there's Asher Wilson. Cold. Sinful. Dangerous. The kind of man who doesn't belong in her world... yet pulls her into his like a moth to flame. Every glance from him feels like a bruise, every word like a promise dipped in sin. He doesn't touch her- not yet. But she feels him everywhere. Two shadows circle her- one watching from the dark, the other standing in the light... yet both feel the same. One whispers danger. The other breathes temptation. And between them, she is already burning. When their bodies finally collide, it won't be love. It'll be possession-slow, sinful, and too wet to forget. Because some secrets don't whisper. They drip. And some obsessions don't knock. They enter. But who will claim her? The stalker in the dark... or the man who feels just as dangerous? What if they're not two men at all? What if the fire and the shadow belong to the same monster? And when she learns the truth- will she run from it... or fall to her knees and worship it? But, what so ever happens- In the end........ she was always his and he was hers and he will stake his soul to prove it even, if it killed both of them..!
