We made it back in time to catch the girls' act. My angel sounded just like her namesake as she belted out the lyrics to Wallflowers' One Headlight. I put shit behind me and got lost in the beauty that was her.Zack passed me a beer as we took our seats at the table and fell into the conversation as though we'd never left. I searched my feelings for a moment to see if there was any remorse or guilt for what I'd done, what I'd asked others to do.Truthfully, I felt a slight pang that I'd had to get my hands dirty, that I'd had my crew get theirs dirty, but I felt no loss for him. He was a parasite who would've continued destroying lives in his path without retribution.He'd fucked himself over the night he decided to go after what's mine and though at the time she hadn't been mine she still bore the scars from his attack and probably will for the rest of her life that made it my problem.I'd made sure we hadn't left, not even a shadow of our presence behind at the scene. The chains

Does he have any idea what it does to me when he says things like that, how it makes me melt inside? Sometimes I have to literally pinch myself to make sure I'm awake, that I'm really here and this is really happening.Especially these last few days since we've been back, he's been extra attentive and sweet, even more so than usual and that's saying a lot. Sometimes I'd catch him looking at me like he was studying me or something. Hopefully he was thinking the same thing I was, how awesome it was that we'd found each other. It's hard to believe that my life had taken this remarkable turn, I'd gone from almost total despair to being the happiest I'd ever been in my life; it's almost scary. Like waiting for the other shoe to drop or something, but somehow I knew Colton would be there to pick it up if that should happen and that was the most amazing thing of all.***LYON***I held her hand as Stacy started on her back. My baby is just a little bit squeamish when it comes to nee

Colton and I are at a standoff; it's a little unnerving but liberating all the same. I know now that there'll be times when we disagree but that doesn't mean he'll leave me, which for some reason was one of my biggest fears.I've never been in a relationship before obviously so I'm not quite sure how these things work. My parents had called it quits before I came along and I've never had the opportunity to see the inner workings of one up close and personal. I have no frame of reference to draw from.Colt on the other hand comes from a solid background with two parents who were still very much in love with each other though I tended to think he played by his own rules and not by anything he'd learned growing up in that household. I can't imagine Daniel being with Elena the way Colt is with me.The phone rang just as I was about to head out to the shop to see about an order I'd placed. It was Carol calling to see if I wanted to go to the next town over with her and some friends. It w

The next day I cornered Jared to pump him for information. As much as Katarina and I had grown together there was still a lot I didn't know and since I wasn't about to ask her father he was my best bet. I guess he knew what I was after when he saw me coming because he separated himself from the others and met me halfway."Everything cool boss?""Yeah, but tell me man, was she always this fucking stubborn or is it all reserved for me?" The idiot laughed."Nah, that's always been her way. Before that whole bullshit went down Kat was what you might call a free spirit. My dad used to call her his little daredevil, girl had no fear; I have to admit I'm glad to see her getting back to normal even if she's giving you fits. I also know I have you to thank for that.""Fuck bro I want her out of that shell all the way but she has to learn to watch out for danger. Rossetti is fucked in the head; I've known that for a long time. Since I've been fucking with him on these business deals he's gon

I can't believe how the Lyons have embraced that thing into their circle; the latest word is that Elena Lyon one of our society's leading women have been touting the girl.Somehow they'd got the video removed when I couldn't; of course, couldn't have their precious son's little floozy seen in a bad light. I wish I'd broken her fucking face when I had the chance."I thought you said you were going to take care of her James what happened?""Some chick came up to us and spirited her away what did you want me to do wrestle her to the floor in the middle of a busy restaurant?""Why do I have to do everything myself?" He's such an idiot ever since mama and daddy cut the apron strings he's been a fucking burden; you'd think he was the younger of the two of us instead of the other way around."If I remember correctly you're the one that got her ass kicked all over the Internet I don't see you doing anything to fix the situation; in fact if you hadn't fucked up with Colton in the first pla
