“Nothing, it’s just that…” I whispered as I leaned in and let my lips graze hers.It wasn’t a complete kiss, but when our lips connected, for me, it was like the earth stopped rotating. I pulled back letting my eyes roam over her face, taking note of her shocked expression. Both of us were breathing as if we had run a marathon. After the first taste, I had to have more. I grabbed each side of her face with my hands. Leaning down once again, I pulled her close to me and captured her lips with mine. This time the kiss was real. She gave me as much as I was giving her. She was shy, so I didn’t expect her to open her mouth for me. When I licked her bottom lip, she opened, and our tongues met. My entire body tingled with want and need for this woman.We both fought for dominance over this kiss. Every second it lasted our hunger and desire was growing stronger. She clawed at my arms and back, eager to have me as close to her as possible. I craved the sting from the bite of her nails that du

MISMATCHED I tried to take another step forward but this time, I felt a sharp pain by the side of my tummy and I gasped, dropping to the hard floor as I placed my palm on the affected area and groaned a bit.The pain was starting to get unbearable and I bit my lips hard, trying to stop myself from screaming my lungs out. The movement within me was like a turbulent wave and it sent me writhing in pain."Aiden!" I heard the panicky voice of Nicole and in no time, she was by my side, rushing to help me out."What's wrong? Why did you get out of bed?" She asked as she dropped to her knees beside me.I tried to reply but a whimper escaped my lips and I shut my eyes tightly, groaning in pain."What's wrong, huh?" Her voice was shaky. She had now placed my head on her lap and was cradling me to her bosom, placing little kisses on my head.Normally, I would have found that surprising but currently, I found comfort in her actions. Not that my pain had reduced in any way, but knowing that ther

NUZZLE I felt the girl smell me earlier. I'm sure of it. Her actions both puzzled and did things to my body that I would rather not think about. Why did she trust me as much as she did? What was it about her that continued to draw me in? She was a puzzle to me, a puzzle that I had to keep away from. She kept doing things that surprised me; I was never sure what she was about to say or do. It was easy to say that I would never have a dull moment with her. I've had people hate me from the moment they met me, who judged me. She was probably one of the first women who thought of me as someone they could trust blindly.Thinking about her while she wasn't even near me was off-limits. From now on, I had to be harsher on myself. I had to do it because I couldn't disappoint the one person that mattered to me.I look up from where I'm standing.I don't know why I'm in front of Maya's home; I wouldn't be here if I had another option to find my mate. I knew that the only way I would be able to

UPCOMING "Yes," Kane finally answers. "You weren't waking up, and I knew you had plenty of things planned for us today. I had my friend, a doctor, make sure that everything was okay. He told me that it's important that you rest for a few days."Giselle shakes her head, "I can't rest when we've already lost an entire day together, Kane; we need to make up for the lost time. I have some friends coming over tonight; I didn't realize I'd been sleeping for so long. I want to introduce you to them. They will be happy to know that I've finally gotten the man of my dreams.""Do you think that's a good idea?" he asks her. "I don't want to see anything happen to your health; it was hard being by your side today and seeing you so sick. Please reconsider."Giselle smiles, and it's weird to see her look this happy all at once, "thank you for showing me your caring side. If I had any doubts about our upcoming marriage, they're gone now. You're going to make a wonderful husband and father to our f

STEPPING AWAY"I'll return to the party," I tell him as I step away from him. It's hard for me to do it, but he's leaving me no choice. He doesn't want me here. “It's clear that you don't want me here. I won't stay where I'm not wanted. All I wanted to do was to help you as you helped me. I wanted to hear your story; you remember everything from your past while I remember nothing. I don't know who my children's father is, and I don't know my name. I don't know my family. I don't know anything. I don't know if people are looking for me, and I don't know if someone did this to me or if losing my memory was an accident. I don't know why I'm telling you this; you don't want to hear it. I'm just trying to say that while I don't remember anything about my life, you remember everything about yours. And whatever it is that you remember, I can tell that it's hurting you. I'm sorry if I overstepped my boundaries; as I said, I only wanted to help."Kane doesn't say anything; he isn't looking at
