I left it out on the street. Figured it’ll be fine there while I’m gone.

You know,” he said, “under normal circumstances, you inviting me to the bedroom would be the highlight of my day.”I crossed my arms and sat on the bed. I did so out of simple fatigue,...

You can think whatever you want, do whatever you want. I’m going to just go on loving you, even if it’s hopeless.

My nails dug into his back, and he trailed his lips down the edge of my chin, down the center of my neck. He kept going until he reached the bottom of the dress’s V-neck....

He nodded toward the sub. “This is going to be a blow-off day.”I dragged my mind away from magical intrigue. After being homeschooled for most of my life, some parts of the “normal” school world...

Piece of Heaven?” “No, that other place I’m going to go to for thinking what I’m thinking.

Why do you react that way if I don’t mean anything to you?” There was a desperation in his voice, and it was legitimate.

Do you really want him to get over you?

“Whatever happened to the dragon?” I mustered my primmest tone. “He has a name, you know.”Adrian pulled back and gave me a curious look. “I didn’t know, actually. What’d you decide on?” “Hopper.” When Adrian...

Are they? I would hope your beliefs would be your beliefs.”I’d never thought about it that way before, but I suddenly hoped desperately that her words were true.

Why are they all high-calorie foods?

Maybe I was in love, but I was still me, after all.
