"Do you ever look up at the stars and wonder, 'why'?" I gazed at the glorious expanse above and the divine luminaries in a sea of pure ebony. I glanced at him, only to discover his eyes searching my face. "What is it?" I said, my voice breaking the sacred spell.
"Your eyes have given me a rare glimpse into the soul of Ann Beaumont. And it was very beautiful."
I felt a warm tear slip down my cheek. I hadn't known I was crying. He took my hand and gently kissed it.
"It's time for me to go."
I heard the well disguised crack in his voice. I thought he was going to return to the house, but he didn't. He turned, pulled me into his arms, and kissed me, one last time.
"Good bye Ann." He touched my hair before turning to the barn.
"I love you." I said softly into the night.

Wildfire | Kayce Dutton • Yellowstone
If you were to ask me what if was like to fall in love with a cowboy, I would say it's like a wildfire. Once it starts, there's no way of stoping it. It burns you alive from the inside out. Consumes you, every part of you. At least that's how it felt for me when I fell for a cowboy, one who wasn't even mine and could never be mine because he belonged to somebody else and I'm left with figuring out how to put out this fire that is loving Kayce Dutton. ***** Darkness and tragedy was all Wren Wheeler knew from the day she was brought into this world. The only good thing in her life was her older brother, Rip. The one who saved her from the brutal ending their mother and younger brother weren't so lucky to escape from. She didn't believe they would ever have a chance of surviving out in the world. Not until John Dutton gave them a second chance at life, just as long as they swore to never bring their past with them to his ranch. The ranch where she found herself a family, a sister she never had, and a love she swore she'd never allow herself to experience. Because that kind of love was never meant for a girl like her. Kayce Dutton was never meant for her, and he could never be. They could never exist. Will destiny prove her wrong?
You're Still The One *slowly editing* (Completed)
'You didn't answer my question,' he asked, holding her gaze in his hypnotic ones. 'Wh... what question?' She was surprised at her own voice, it sounded like of someone else's. She wanted to ask him--which question, there were so many he had asked her tonight. Each one threatening in their own different ways to her sanity. Brandan smiled mysteriously. Not answering her, he instead said something else, 'Don't keep staring at me like that.' His voice was soft. Suddenly, she found herself in some other world. 'W.. why?' She stammered ridiculously. His lips slightly brushed against her, she closed her eyes in anticipation, under the spell of their lips connecting. Sparking were the electricity all over her skin. ''Cause....' He took a step back from her, leaving her cold and she was too lost to do something about it--like leaping closer to him and getting engulfed in the euphoric warmth once again. ''Cause, you will fall in love with me... ' He paused as growling deeply a set of thunders boomed above the skies. Cold wind made her hair dance around. He finally finished his sentence, 'Again.'

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.

A Mate Out of Murder: The Realms of Eldon Book 1
"What do you want with me," she demanded softly, her voice quavering as her cheeks heated with embarrassment at his reference to her actions of the night before. This bantering, flirtatious side of Zeke was turning her insides into a confusing mush. Zeke stopped his advance, leaving two feet of space between them, his fiery eyes boring into hers with a look of intense determination. "Everything," he admitted huskily. The answer took her by surprise. A flash of heat spread from the back of her skull to her toes, as if she'd been struck by lightning. Every nerve felt like she was on fire. Her wolf hummed with pleasure at the sensations while her human self felt like it was drowning in an ocean of panic. The dichotomy of her split emotions was a chaotic confusion she had never felt before. "You're going to...um," she stuttered, frazzled.

She cleared her throat to start again. "You're going to need to be a little more specific." ~~~~~~~~~~ Selene is the daughter of Corben, Alpha of Blood Fang.
