A particular sweet scent filled my nose as I opened my eyes. For an instant, the image of Suzy and her smiling filled my mind.
I blinked hard and cleared my mind. I rose from the ground, taken in Xax beside me. He was still sleeping.
Jasamina must be in the kitchen. I was about to make my way to the room that has become mine when the sudden whimper of a child caught my attention.
I headed straight for Jasamina's room and entered the same time the little boy was opening his eyes.
"Hey, little man. Don't start crying now." I crooned softly as I walked closer to the baby who had already stop whimpering and was watching my movement.
My chest tightened at the sight of the boy. The baby never fails to bring forth the memories of Dannie.

I whistled as I took off my clothes, ready to use the shower. Another call came in. I scared at him and recognised the number.I placed the call to my ear. "Rutherford speaking.""Xazix?"I recognized the voice instantly. "Mark!?"It's me, man! Longest time!" His voice cake through, making me smile. Mark was my best buddy back then when I was still a full-time bounty hunter. Mark hunts like crazy. He hasn't lost his touch and he still hunts."How have you been? I lost contact with you." I spoke good-naturedly."Changed sims. You know how it works. Where are you, buddy? I would have liked us to hang out together and play catch-up."

Xazix shook his head, the memory clear on his face.They must have been really close as brothers, I thought. I drew my eyes away from them to stare at Jaime again."And each time I make a mental note not to leave you in charge of the food anymore but because of your nagging and self confidence that you can do better the next time. I always end up leaving you to it." Tanner groaned."I end up burn

I just saw him and yet I miss him.I miss Tann. The old Tann. The jovial one that smiled all the damn time, especially when Suzy is within sight. Or Dannie. The fun Tanner that loved to cook and goof around.Suzy's death ate deep into him, he has been a shadow of himself ever since the incident; consoling himself with bottles of alcohol and drowning himself in the temporary somewhat "pleasure" intoxication brought unto him.

Someone's happy for momma!"He giggled again, making a grab for my hair. "Ouch!" I raised my hand and gently untangled my hair from his little hand."You'll yank off mother's hair." I admonished with a smile. Unbiddenly, my mind went back to the last time my hair was yanked off.Dale was thrusting into me from behind, being so rough! Oh, the way it had hurt! I was heavily pregnant with Jaimie....not that it mattered to Dale. He was so rough, and he kept

The silence of the house shows that Tanner was still sleeping.I took that time to arrange the house that has become home, and run a bath for myself. All the while, my mind feathered on Tanner.He has become a refuge to me. I never thought I'll ever be comfortable with another man, the way I am with him.Out of nowhere, I wondered what it would feel like to kiss him. The thought took me by surprise because it's a thought I've never had before. Not even before I married Dale and certainly, not during our marriage.I closed my eyes and put the thought at the back of my mind. Tanner is my friend, my savior and everything in between. I don't know if I can bear him as a lover. Any man at all.The t

Bastard has been ignoring my calls!I paid him good money to find my wife which shouldn't be too hard. For fucks sake she's not even that old to be wise, she's stupid not to mention extremely dumb so why the hell isn't she in my possession right now!?

He handed Jaimie to me and I hugged my baby tight to my chest, careful not to squeeze his sleeping form too much.The doctor started talking about how Jaimie is in good health especially for a baby that hasn't be checked since birth. I released a breath I didn't even know I was holding."He weights 7.4kg." He announced in the middle of it all."Is my baby under weighted?" I couldn't keep the dread away from my voice. Tanner's hand shot out to hold mine, as if trying to calm me down. I took refuge in his caring gesture."Quiet the contrary ma'am, the limit is 7.6kg, so I'd say your baby is just fine." The doctor said with a kind smile and I breathed out in relief."I'll advise you keep breast feedi

Terror. Trepidation. My only thought was that I'm about to loose another loved one. Just like two years ago when I watched Suzy and our children die. I was so scared that in about to watch a repeat.I glided my tongue through her mouth, using my tongue to mate with hers. I rolled her lower lips into my mouth and sucked softly, hearing the soft gasp that escaped her mouth.Two noises brought me back to awareness again. The horns of several vehicles and a whimper from Jaime that he's tired of being sandwiched between two adults like a
