I'd been down this path before. In my dreams, usually in my nightmares. So when it hit, recognition flared, but it didn’t stop so it was a nightmare but not the right kind. When we’d walked in, I’d been chatting with Felix about the scoring and options from the session today. I just didn’t understand …

LAST SUNDAY, EARLY MORNING I lean against the kitchen counter, my biceps flexing as I grip the edge. The sleek, modern cabinets and appliances gleam under the dim lighting, bathing us in a sensual glow. The forty-two-inch countertop is the perfect height, allowing me to effortlessly support Allison's hips. My ears pick out the song …
Last Year, November 30th He heard the teapot's cry inside but continued to watch the darkened skies, or at least as dark as they could be in a city of a couple million people. Besides, he'd offered to help countless times, and the answer was always the same, "No." It had become his ritual, arising …
The flash of the storm startled him. Groggily, he tried to move, but he groaned, his body convulsing. He'd never felt so much pain. The lightning pounded the ground near him? He grunted. Had it hit him? Cold, so cold. In space they can't hear you scream, but they were on this dry planet, right? …
He settled into the couch in Downs's office, facing the doctor's desk as he walked back from the door to his desk chair. This was his fifth session since they'd gotten back from space nine days ago, and while he didn't mind the extra time since it got him away from the others during house …
Lukas leaned heavily on her, barely able to stand. Even under all the pain and exhaustion, a small smile formed. She had to be just as exhausted, she'd used her abilities to suppress his pain all night, all day, and still had more power to pump through the rest of the team for the fights. …
The water rained down upon his upturned face, eyes closed enjoying the dual streams splashing against his body. For someone like him, a normal shower proved barely adequate to get clean, and impossible to enjoy when your head and shoulders rose high above the placement of the shower head. Someone planned ahead in designing this …
The conversation lagged as they all tucked into their food. Lukas only had thirty minutes for lunch, so quick Chinese food had been the choice. Neither Lukas nor Leilani had seemed thrilled with any of the options but she kind of missed the egg rolls here, and it had been six weeks since her detail …
Allison's touch on his arm reminded him that some people needed space and time to work out their anger and pain. He understood that, and frankly, Barbe's punches hurt like hell. He wasn't really sure how to explain what he could do when he got hit, some sort of battery charge from blows, the …
Things were just getting hot with a more than willing Holly when Allison and Barbe drug him away from the brunette. He'd been super pissed off and lashed out about everybody having sex with each other but cock blocking him......even after their bullshit story about making sure he was safe, and not wanting him to …
He moved around the greenhouse, mixing some fresh fertilizer for some of the vegetable plants he had planted a few weeks ago. It was never going to be massive treasure trove of fresh food, but, a couple of meals worth of each vegetable, maybe enough corn to last several days when it got here, and …
