Tessa ran down the dark corridor as fast as she could, desperate to escape. It was so dark, she almost didn’t see the cave in ahead of her. The smell of gunpowder and the coppery essence of blood still hung in the air. The moment she turned around, she heard gunfire. She couldn’t tell how far away i...

Tessa stood in a room Tahlia had set aside for them. Simon was elsewhere on the phone with the blonde at the moment, catching a well-deserved earful for the damage to the office. As soon as her concerns for his well being were addressed, he got it both barrels. Miles stepped out of the bathroom, fre...

Tessa lay, pressed up against Miles' side, her head resting upon his chest, just listening to his heartbeat. Her fingers trailed along a scar along his ribcage, one of many that rose here and there upon his body. A rough thumb stroked her shoulder gently. For how aggressive and passionate the night ...

Her mother and Tony had gone for the night. Since Miles put them in their place, they gave Tessa a wide berth. She preferred it that way. Tony's eyes stayed off of her when she was around and her mother barely spoke to her at all. The conversation was not missed. She sat in her room, strumming her a...

They'd gone all over the city, until he stopped at a high-class whiskey bar. Tessa had worried about getting in, but the bouncer seemed to know Miles and let them right in.

The weeks since Simon’s departure from her life were fraught with fear. After she recovered from the aftermath of Tony’s abuse, she was assigned a new bodyguard. This one was much more loyal to her mother than Simon. He barely said a word, took her from place to place, and really didn’t show much in...

There is a story in Greek mythology of a boy named Icarus. The boy and his father, Daedalus wished to escape imprisonment within a labyrinth. Daedalus created wings of wax and feathers to accomplish this. In his hubris, Icarus ignored his father’s wisdom and flew too close to the sun. Icarus would s...

Tessa stared out the window as cars, buildings, and people whipped on by. Simon eyed her a moment in the rearview. She’d been quiet the past few days since the incident, keeping mostly to herself. He had to admit, it was a welcome reprieve from the constant yammering on her phone and the incessantly...

The shrill roar of a sold out stadium washed over her as she rose her hands into the air. Her cheeks hurt so bad from smiling so damn much, she wanted to scream. Thousands of young girls screamed for her chanting her name as the colorful spotlights traveled all over the stage. She was vaguely annoye...
