Claws of Stone LEARN TO WALK AGAIN
Rebecca’s storyThis house was so big for me, and without Dominic in it, it was even bigger. His friend Megan would occasionally come over to help me, just as he promised, but I got the feeling Dominic was actually avoiding me. This week he’s been home with me for barely three hours during the day, every day. He would always say he would have filming and an audition coming. At night, I would hear him coming in so late that I would lock myself up in my room so as not to disturb him. His room was right next to mine. Sometimes, if it was really quiet, I could hear his breathing through the walls.I was understanding why he brought Megan into the house. And not so I wouldn’t feel lonely. I was sensing certain behaviors in Dominic. But I didn’t want to jump to conclusions. I didn’t quite know what was happening to me when he was nearby. There were some moments when he would stand so close that I would feel overwhelmed by his masculinity. I had to admit that even without seeing him, I was
Claws of Stone ALMOST A NEW BEGINNING
Dominic’s storyI had just walked into my room when a million thoughts made their way into my mind. How would I help her walk again or see again? So she could join me at the gala. I intended to hire the best physiotherapist in all of New York. And that could only be Declan, who I knew had such courses under his belt. And also arranged for a specialist to perform surgery and restore her sight. It was a bold and difficult plan, but not impossible. And I would be with her all the way.Just as I was getting ready for sleep...“No, Tom! No! Leave him alone, you beasts!” I immediately jumped out of bed and went into her room. She was having a nightmare, one of her many. She was calling her fiance. I reached over and grabbed her shoulders with both hands and shook her a little, then harder... She didn’t wake up. Every second she sank deeper into her dream and she was more anxious. I could feel the terror she was feeling right now. Beads of sweat caressed her angelic face. Seeing her like th

Rebecca’s storyAlthough I couldn’t see and couldn’t move, the way I felt remained the same. And Dominic’s news really shocked me. “Rebecca, I know I took you by surprise. I didn’t want you to find out this way, but I really want to take you with me to the Treasure Awards. So I need you cured in two weeks,” Dominic explained, but my mind remained on the Treasure Awards. This man, if he was indeed taking me there, was actually the actor Dominic Stone. If it hadn’t been him, how could he tell me he was taking me there? “So, I got in touch with the best physical therapist in New York, Catherine Rogers. She is actually my agent’s fiancee.” “Doctor Catherine Rogers?” Who didn’t know Catherine? He was the best, and everyone, without exception, went to him. Another reason to believe Dominic was who he claimed to be. She wasn’t a cheap doctor.The day in Dominic’s company flew by. I was supposed to meet Catherine the next morning at 8 o’clock. And as the time approached, I grew increasingly
Claws of Stone THERE, I SAID IT
Rebecca’s storyI knew it would be hard, but at the same time, I knew I wasn’t alone. “Miss Holland, in front of you is an exercise table I use on patients who have mobility difficulties. So I’m going to put you on that table too,” the doctor explained, and I could already hear my heart pounding to break my chest. I didn’t know if it would be painful, or how long the recovery would take. All I knew was that in the next few seconds, we’d get started. “We need to start with some light warm-up exercises. Dominic, will you help me, please? To get her on the table?” Dominic picked me up so lightly. On impulse, I wrapped my arms around his neck, leaning my head up against his chest. I didn’t need to do that. I just sensed I had to. He was like a magnet that was inevitably luring me in. My body was putting up no resistance. It seemed so perfectly normal, this nearness between us.I often tried to explain to myself why I was so attracted to him. And it wasn’t just that he saved me, it was s
Claws of Stone WOULD WE BE THE SAME?
Dominic’s storyThe wolf was howling so loudly inside me I barely kept it from surfacing. Rebecca had just experienced a painful and exhausting time with doctor Catherine. But I couldn’t control my eyes. My body was throbbing with desire as I felt a bright, hot, red heat in them. I’d almost let him loose. I forced him to behave normally around her. I could have sworn she wasn’t so indifferent anymore either, even though she still didn’t believe who I was. I had so many identities that I feared the time when I would have to reveal them. But if I wanted her with me for eternity, she’d have to accept me as I was. I knew I had to somehow prove to her that my love was heartfelt. She had a difficult medical condition at the moment and I didn’t want her to think I was sorry for her and that was the only reason I was sticking around. That was the last thing I would want and do. I had so many questions that I desperately wanted an answer to. What was the name of that feeling when you felt l
Claws of Stone I CAN SEE YOU
Rebecca’s storyI didn’t expect it to be so hard. Things that before the attack I used to do with ease now seemed painful and exhausting. I only got tired from a few exercises. With all the training I had done in my life, it was impossible now to believe that this was all I could do. But I would not quit. I was going to fight back and go all the way. Damn, this was really tough! I was struggling to hold myself together and not slip or fall in the shower. The last thing I wanted was to worry Dominic. He had so much on his mind; I had to show up, too. So I had to be ten times more careful about what I was doing. I carefully washed, rinsed and dried my body and hair a bit, then covered myself in the cotton towel Dominic gave me. It was so tender, like the touch of a man...like his touch...It’s just that I can’t help wandering off my thoughts into the deepest parts of my brain. And those thoughts were so full of guilt that a bitter-sweet ache rippled from my belly to my femininity. I cl
Claws of Stone WHO IS TOM?
Rebecca’s storyI didn’t even feel it when my eyes filled with tears. And they were tears of amazement and joy. It was so good to see again. To receive the sunlight again, to see the colors.“It’s an actual miracle, Rebecca,” he rejoiced with me. I could finally see his eyes and the sincerity in them. Now I realized he was really Dominic Stone.“You really are... Dominic Stone...” I gave voice to my deeply hidden thoughts. The corner of his mouth arched into a seductive smile, revealing perhaps the sharpest teeth I had ever seen.“And you still had doubts...” I blushed when I felt Dominic’s palms cup my face and wipe the tears with his fingers. I still couldn’t believe I could see him so clearly. His features, the shape of his face, his deep eyes. And to think that all this time he had been my eyes and how patiently he handled every situation. Since I was recovering so quickly, maybe I could finally get back to my life. I kept sobbing, gazing at him. He was there in my face. Just a t
Claws of Stone REBORN
Dominic’s storyDamn all this. How was I going to tell her that the man she was asking for was actually her fiance? The man she was going to marry one day? And why the hell was I feeling jealous of a dead man?I didn’t prepare an explanation concerning Tom. What was certain was that in Rebecca’s mind, this Tom didn’t have a face. Only what she remembered from her dreams, if she remembered anything at all. And I couldn’t even go into the motives. She was very vulnerable now, anyway. So I’ll take the shortest possible way. “We’ll have time to talk about Tom, who you only see in dreams, anyway. There’s been enough excitement for one day, Rebecca. You’d better rest now.” For the first time in a long time, she gazed directly into my eyes. I knew she could see me so well. But there was still a void in her eyes. I helped her gently onto the bed, supporting her carefully. She looked so fragile, especially now, when something she so long longed for had happened in her life. “Maybe you’re ri
