"Jenna, are you O.K.?"  I wake up to see Brad leaning over me, worried.  "You fainted.  Come inside and I will get you a drink of water."  He takes my hand and yells for one of the stable hands to take Nelly back to her stall. Sitting down on the couch, I wait for him to bring me a glass of water.  With the world spinning out of control, I remember why I fainted.  When he told me my dad was dead, I felt this rush of nausea and then everything went black. "Here you go."  He hands me the glass of water before continuing.  "I am just sorry I didn't catch you.  The doctor said you can't have any more drama, but this was unavoidable.  Are you still dizzy?"  He cocks his head sideways and watches me for signs. I shake my head, and answer him, "No.  I am just light headed now.  Did they tell you when the funeral is?"  Not feeling much of anything from the shock, I sit there in a daze. He t

The minute Dean stops the car, he jumps out and opens my side to pick me up and carry me in.  "Shall we?"  He asks with a sly grin on that sexy face of his.  Kicking the front door open, I feel the warmth of his breath on my face and look up to see the determined look on his face.  He shuts it behind him and once we get to his bedroom, he puts me down on the bed gently.  Leaning over me, he climbs on the bed and I feel his hands slide down my sides painfully slow while kissing my neck softly. The ache in between my legs is unbelievable and it makes me want to grind up on him and relieve the pressure building up there.  He stops kissing me and his eyes train on what he is doing as he unzips my pants and starts to slide them down.  Feeling like my insides are lava, I plead with him.  "Please hurry."  I say painfully. Taking his time, he kisses each inch as he uncovers my skin and slides them down more.  Not

"What should I do?  I have never forgot to take my pills before and right now Aaron and I are fighting.  He suspects I am cheating on him."  Looking terrible, she stares at the floor and kicks the rug while sitting on the bed. "Nicole, you have to tell him.  Especially if you find out you really are.  Right now I am going to go to town and pick you up a pregnancy test, then we will figure this all out once and for all."  I stand up and grab my keys off the end table.   She follows me out the bedroom door and down to the living room where I pick up my jacket and purse.  After shutting the front door behind us, we walk to the car quickly because it is getting colder and colder.  I usually don't drive in the dark, but this is an exception.  My best friend needs an answer right now, not later. On the way in to town I watch as the snow falls slowly across the road and I hope that it doesn't get too bad before

Dean opens the door for the police and tells them calmly, "The shooter is over here, I tied him up with the curtain tie back."  Pointing to the man in the corner, I watch as Dean and the officer walk over to him. The man stares at the police officer, "Why don't you just get this over with and take me away?  My lawyer will have me out in no time."  He turns to Dean and says, "You should have killed me while you had the chance."  He winks at him and Dean launches at him. The officer grabs ahold of him and forces him to back off, saying forcefully,  "You need to leave before I have to put you in jail too and then who will protect these two."  He points at Nicole and myself. Having a good point, I can see that it gets through to Dean and he walks over to stand by my side.  Putting his arms around me, he kisses me in full view of everyone and while staring deep into my eyes, he says lovingly, "I should have said this sooner, but

After the phone call with the attorney, Dean turns to me and asks, "What did he say?" Smiling, I answer, "It's all taken care of.  The lone shark is in custody and they are making sure the shooter is put away for good.  Now as soon as I am divorced from Brad, I won't ever have to deal with him again."  I watch him stand up and put his hands around my waist, hoisting me up.  He kisses me and then puts me down, hugging me. He cocks his head, sounding really curious he asks, "What about Brad?  Where is he now?" "He is back at the house and I forgot to tell you that I have set up for Marissa to be sent back to her country.  Her family has told me that they want to bury her there.  I just feel so bad that it had to happen at all.  Those bullets were meant for me not her."  I say sadly and stare at the floor for a few minutes. "I think I should have a one on one with Brad, to make sure that he really never does a
