Chapter Sixteen “I have a surprise for you.” “You do?” Hearing Dakotah’s voice behind her somehow filled her with a heady anticipation of the night and the future. For four days they’d teased and tortured each other, playing with Troy as he helped her settle in to her new surroundings. They’d shared pizza and time […]
Chapter Fifteen “Sulking doesn’t look good on you.” Skyler looked up from her computer and smiled at Allison. Her assistant had done nothing but hover over her for the solid month since she’d been back. “I’m not sulking.” “Bullshit! I know better. Remember? You told me every detail.” “That’s because you forced the sordid crap […]
Chapter Fourteen “Hi, beautiful.” Dakotah sighed as he gazed down at Skyler, thanking God she was going to be all right. “The doctor says you’re going to be fine.” There were so many things he needed to say to her, but how could he even begin to apologize for putting her in the middle of […]
Chapter Thirteen Skyler opened her eyes and instantly saw the ugly picture in the back of her mind. Nothing could have prepared her for the haunting collection of photographs. A dead girl, a baby, and her… “Fuck!” “You’re awake.” Margaret stepped into view, her smile warm. “What happened? How?” she whispered as she sat up, […]

Chapter Ten Skyler paced nervously back and forth across the now well-worn spot of camel carpeting as she continued to check her watch over and over again. “Five until seven.” She exhaled, more nervous than she thought she’d be. She pressed her hands down over the stunning outfit and grimaced. The thin raincoat did little […]
Chapter Nine Dakotah gazed down at Skyler, emitting a sigh. He carried her slowly to the bed, brushing a series of kisses across the flush of her face. Skyler emitted a warm glow, her skin glistening in the shimmer of sun cascading into the humid room. “Mmm… so gorgeous.” He laid her down gently and […]
Chapter Eight Skyler rubbed her eyes and sighed as the glint of the bright morning sun trickled inside the hotel room. She breathed in the surprisingly warm air and groaned. As she shifted, she was reminded of the rounds of discipline. She was already bruising, and the thought of wearing her black and blue marks […]
