| 98cd566 | After a very enjoyable half hour in the shower, we dressed and walked down to his SUV. Even with the weather too cold for the Harley, I spotted Judd and Tawny riding theirs in the opposite direction as us. I loved how Tawny had her own Harley and tried to imagine myself on one. The vision ended with me crashing into a mailbox, so I figured I'd leave the Harley riding to Tawny and Harlow. | Bijou Hunter | ||
| 5c045b7 | Nice hammer," Harlow said from behind me. "Hey," I said, glancing around casually to see if Winnie was with her. "Nice shiner." "You should see the other chick," she muttered. "Can we talk?" Setting down my hammer, I followed her away from the other guys. Harlow seemed tense and I worried something was wrong with Winnie. "This is awkward and I feel weird coming here like this," she said, pushing her blonde hair behind her ears. "Are you.. | dylan harlow | Bijou Hunter | |
| b3c1b81 | Lark Barnes wasn't much older than me, yet she was married and pregnant with twins. On bed rest for the last few months, she was trapped in her updated Craftsman-style house. Thanks to Bailey, my new job involved caring for Lark during the day. Petite with spiky dark hair, Lark needed the help too. She was all belly these days. In fact when I arrived at the house that morning, I found her stuck in bed. "I'm beached!" she cried as I entere.. | winnie-and-lark | Bijou Hunter | |
| 89dc33b | I vaguely remember having a waist," Lark said, waddling into the room. "I could see my feet too. They weren't great feet, but I liked looking at them." "You'll see them soon then you won't appreciate it. All the stuff that bothers you now will become a faint memory once you have the babies." "How do you know?" she said, teasing me. "You read that in a book? I get enough know-it-all crap from Raven who watched a TV show and is therefore an.. | waist-and-feet winnie-and-lark | Bijou Hunter | |
| 1e0c8e3 | Tall, narrow, and grand, the first house was a Victorian. Once loved by a family, it ended up a college rental. Dylan took it from rundown and abused to grand again. "Could you see yourself living here?" he asked, wrapping his arms around me from behind. "No," I said softly. "Good. Me either, but I'd have moved in tomorrow if you said yes." Squirming around to face him, I sighed. "You're so whipped." "I know, but only when it comes to .. | make-it-ours | Bijou Hunter | |
| fbd71fd | I'm so sick of sitting on this fucking thing," she sighed, finding a comfortable spot. "After they're born, let's burn the couch." "Or donate it," Aaron said, bringing her a glass of water. "Don't ruin my destructive groove with your good sense." | destructive-groove good-sense | Bijou Hunter | |
| 6314bbb | Everyone said I had a boyish look about me. The Thunderdome manager Axel mentioned the same thing when I arrived for my first fight. I just smiled at his comment since I never had a talent for the kind of trash talking that made so many men scary. As a teenager, I practiced acting tough in front of the mirror. I always ended up laughing because even I didn't believe the bullshit coming out of my mouth. Though tall and strong, I'd never be.. | Bijou Hunter | ||
| 37420c3 | Do you always drink Sprite?" I asked. "Yeah, why?" "I want to buy some for when you visit my place." Bailey grinned like I had told her she won the lottery. If she kept smiling at me that way, I didn't think my ego could fit into the restaurant much longer." | nick-and-bailey sprite | Bijou Hunter | |
| 69eed07 | I just kept eating my hot dogs and bowling by myself. Bailey sometimes rolled a ball into a gutter. When I had them put up the bumpers for her, she managed to roll the ball into another alley and land in that gutter. | Bijou Hunter | ||
| 9d42aab | I bet you're a real heartbreaker," he said, giving me a nearly irresistible smile. "I've never broken a single heart," I admitted. "I've broken more than a few noses and stomped on several ball sacks though." Vaughn's grin widened. "Let me buy you a drink." "I have a drink." "Fine. Let me take you to a booth and sweet talk your sexy ass into my bed tonight." "I'm abstaining from fucking guys like you." "Guys like me? You mean, sexy ba.. | Bijou Hunter | ||
| a2c6732 | Suddenly, he looked up at me and demanded, "Say my name." My pride wouldn't allow me to submit, so I mumbled, "What was it again? Vinnie? Vance? Something with a V, right?" His response was to pop the button on my shorts and tug them down to my ankles. I kicked them off along with my sandals then struggled to act unimpressed. Vaughn grinned in a way that made me a little nervous about what happened next. He likely sensed my fear because h.. | vaughn-and-raven | Bijou Hunter | |
| d004bc3 | As he slid a bit closer, I caught a whiff of his cologne. Smelling like chocolate, the scent was bait to any self-respecting woman. | Bijou Hunter | ||
| 002ca95 | Good morning." "Fuck you," she growled, still confused. "I wore you out, huh?" Raven's angry panicked eyes narrowing, she glared at me. "If anyone was worn out, it was you. I'm surprised I didn't break your dick." "Who said you didn't?" I said, causing her to smirk. "I might need a little cast for it." Raven finally smiled for real. "It wouldn't be the first time." "We could test it out," I said, wiggling my eyebrows. "I need to leav.. | vaughn-and-raven | Bijou Hunter | |
| f5b7597 | This is nice. Two friends being friendly," he said. Rolling my eyes, I sipped my drink and ignored his cocky smile. "How long has it been?" he asked, tapping my sandal with his boot. "The abstaining thing." Crossing my arms under my tits, I tightened them and pushed up the girls for him to admire. "I bet you've banged a girl recently. Like I could probably smell her on you, if I got close enough," I grumbled, remembering how he smelle.. | nicknames vaughn-and-raven | Bijou Hunter | |
| 1277b08 | When she was relaxed, Raven was the picture of innocence. When she was feisty, she was sex kitten personified. When she was angry, I worried she would neuter me. | winning-combination | Bijou Hunter | |
| ea84a55 | Laughing, I took her hand back in mine. "I don't like seeing someone as hot as you bruised up, but I don't judge you fighting for money. We all do what we can. Look at me and my work. Not exactly a dream job, but I'm big, strong, and don't mind hurting people. Not a lot of jobs for a guy with my skill set. I was never good at school. I hate computers and have no patience with fixing things. I had the choice of being an enforcer or a gigolo... | lap-dance vaughn-and-raven | Bijou Hunter | |
| 4c50d00 | I don't know how to swim," I said as we walked onto the back deck where the pool awaited. "I'll teach you," Bailey said, smiling over her shoulder. "First, I need to clean out some of the gunk from the storm." After scooping up dead leaves and bugs until the pool looked pristine, Bailey jumped into the pool. "There's a secret to swimming," she said, giving me a wink. Tossing off my shirt, I didn't think about how much I hated to go shirt.. | brass-balls nick-and-bailey sawyer | Bijou Hunter | |
| 170f69a | It isn't easy being on the outside," I admitted. "Judd and I were tight. We spent a shitload of time together. Not talking or having feelings, but I had someone to sit next to me and drink beer with. We played pool every night and had sex with different chicks every night and woke up alone every morning. We were the same. Now, he's whipped and Tawny walks around with his balls in her purse. I asked once if we could take his balls out occasi.. | Bijou Hunter | ||
| 68f0af6 | The first time I saw Bailey, I just wanted her to know I existed. In the end, I could only survive when she held my heart in her hands. Bailey Fucking Johansson was my salvation. | Bijou Hunter | ||
| 9aa8c47 | My family is low class, but I'm a loyal person," I said. "Like I don't steal or lie or anything." Aaron frowned at me. "Why did you just tell me that?" "You looked like I might run off with your wallet." Smiling slightly, he leaned back and studied me. "More worried about you running off with my heart." -- | running-off-with-my-heart | Bijou Hunter | |
| 8c8b39f | Sometimes he opened books and found words that had defeated him the first time he had seen them, and that he had then written down and learned. It delighted him. He felt like a fox that had tracked them. That was how it was with thorough, and climber, and khepri. When he encountered them for the second time, they surrendered to him, and he read them without pause. In | China Miéville | ||

| 38d7c56 | The next two days, Nick and I played house in my apartment. For lunch and dinner, we joined the family. On Sunday, Nick came along for the club's weekly family dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse. I knew he felt like an outsider, but Vaughn and Judd entertained him with their bromance. "Hard to believe they like the ladies," I said to Nick who just grinned as the enforcers argued about who was a shittier friend. "Tawny never lets you play video.. | nick-and-bailey superhero tawny-and-raven tucker vaughn-and-judd | Bijou Hunter | |
| 20a1472 | What are you looking to do?" Aaron asked as we walked into his workroom. "Nothing too complicated," I said, displaying my wrist. "I want Bailey's name on my wrist." Aaron exhaled slowly. "Are you sure? The Johanssons don't play when it comes having their women's names on their wrists. It's forever shit for them. That's how I knew Cooper wasn't fucking around with Farah." "Bailey's mine, but I can't find a way to make her truly believe. W.. | about-bailey nick tattoo | Bijou Hunter | |
| f452181 | After seeing Dylan with the redhead, I sunk deeper into a depression. Even working at Lark's house did nothing to distract me. I simply went through the motions. Fortunately, Lark was especially tired and slept most of the day, so she never noticed my bad mood. Harlow wasn't as oblivious as we washed dishes after dinner. "What's up, stinky pup?" I rolled my eyes at her nickname for me. "Nothing." "She doesn't want to deal with the leave.. | harlow jace meatloaf tad winnie | Bijou Hunter | |
| 1c7b319 | Sporting a black eye, Dylan met me in the front of Cooper's office. I looked up at where guys were redoing the roof before returning my gaze to my new boss. "As much as I appreciate this chance," I said, "I don't want you giving me a job just to make Cooper happy." "Cooper's happiness isn't really my concern. The guy's rich and powerful. I'm sure his happiness is pretty much a done deal." I smirked. "Yeah, but you really need me to work .. | nick-and-dylan | Bijou Hunter | |
| 1684a57 | Deputy Ennis Dickhead tipped back his stupid hat and smirked at me. "Hello, Bailey." "What do you want?" "I came to talk to your friend here. Just wondering if he'd seen his dad?" Nick showed no reaction, but I was pissed to have an asshole ruining my good mood. "If his dad was smart, he'd have run the fuck away once out of jail." Dickhead tried intimidating Nick with a dark glare. When that didn't work, he focused on me. "Bailey, I wan.. | rent-a-cop taser-in-the-ass | Bijou Hunter | |
| fdf2652 | I've ruined things for you," I said, eyes hot and tears threatening to fall. "I fucked up and now you'll end up with a record. You'll never have your dream because of me. I'm so sorry." Wrapping me in his strong arms, Nick sighed. "I punched him and made the first move. It's not your fault." "You had to punch him. He was calling me names and you're my man." Nick smiled down at me. "Yeah, I couldn't let him trash my girl." "I should have.. | lost-her-temper nick-and-bailey | Bijou Hunter | |
| 9ef4965 | Cupping her face, I brushed her lips with my thumb. "You're medicine for my soul, Bailey. Never forget that." Her naughty gaze shifted into something softer. "Thank you for being brave enough to love me." Despite her earnest expression, I laughed. "Like I had a choice." | nick-and-bailey | Bijou Hunter | |
| 08698b6 | The crew headed to Tequila Jodi's for a celebration. Raven and Vaughn arrived an hour after everyone. They made up for their tardiness by binge drinking a bottle of tequila. Well, Vaughn did. Raven binged on a pitcher of Diet Coke. "I might be binging for two!" she announced then sat down to look over the pictures of her niece and nephew. Harlow showed up with Toni. While her mom joined Jodi at a back table, Harlow made a beeline for Winn.. | harlow lark-and-the-babies nick when-you-know-you-know | Bijou Hunter | |
| 9e9c351 | Stepping closer, I wiped away a tear from her cheek. "You'll make a great mom." "I guess we're going to find out," she said, melting into my arms. "I was on the pill. I can't even do that part right." Taking a deep breath and accepting this direction in my life, I said softly, "Don't listen to the crap in your head. Listen to my heart. It's known you from the beginning." Lark tightened her grip on me. "You're not mad." "Why would I be m.. | thor-sperm | Bijou Hunter | |
| 1cac6f2 | The boy went to the low-down part of the attic where he drew, and drew a lizard in a bottle between the stems of the wallpaper's design. He came back the next day and, beside it, he drew a cat in another bottle and a fox in a third. He drew a fish in a bottle, a crow in a bottle, a mountain lion in a big bottle. He'd never seen a mountain lion but he heard them sometimes and knew he was to be afraid of them. He imagined that deep throaty gr.. | China Miéville | ||
| 5ba7f2f | Dylan lifted my chin so my lips could meet his. I kissed him hard, suddenly overwhelmed with emotion I'd held tight inside me. "Good things happen," I said, crying now. "Sometimes I forget that even when I have a blessing right in front of me." Dylan wrapped me tighter in his arms and smiled against my lips. "Me too, but I never lost faith in little Lark. If anyone could kick death in the ass, it would be her." I laughed at the thought o.. | dylan-and-winnie judd-and-tawny vaughn | Bijou Hunter | |
| c0ba116 | Aaron lifted me up onto his hips and I knew we weren't staying. "We just got here," I murmured against his cheek. "Don't you think Judd and Coop will take their women home to celebrate?" Glancing around, I noticed Tawny high fiving Judd who looked pretty proud about his revenge on Mac. Nearby, Farah was squeezing Cooper's flexed muscles. None of them were planning to stay at the bar. "Are you okay, Bailey?" I asked as Aaron started for .. | bailey cooper-and-farah judd-and-tawny vaughn | Bijou Hunter | |
| 77fe83d | Lark soaked in the claw foot tub with the dogs sleeping nearby. I knew she was tired and pretending otherwise. Eventually, the day would come when she would look at me and admit the pregnancy hormones were a pain in the ass. When she did so, I would baby the hell out of her and make her feel like a princess. Until then, she wanted to put on a brave face without admitting she took mini-naps through out the day. | Bijou Hunter | ||
| bd22d07 | I'd ask why you don't want to be whipped, but I sense there's a long heartfelt story behind it and I'll feel sorry for you and I'm not really in the mood to feel pity. Maybe after a few more orgasms, I can fake sympathy. We're just not there yet, champ." "I like that nickname," I said, taking her hand between mine. "Stud works too. King Cock is another favorite." "How about Cock-A-Doodle-Doo?" "Too cartoony. I need something manlier. Coc.. | haha vaughn-and-raven | Bijou Hunter | |
| 1998f0f | I remained with Lark in the hospital room until Aaron arrived out of breath from running. "My muse," he said, taking her hand. Leaving them alone to prepare for the surgery, I walked into the waiting room. Cooper patted the chair next to him and I joined him. "She'll be okay," he said, sounding convincing. I didn't feel like talking, so I texted Dylan, Harlow, Mom, and Dad to let them know what was happening. Cooper spoke quietly on the.. | babies bailey cooper lark muse pixies winnie | Bijou Hunter | |
| f1496e3 | Finishing her cigarette, Raven put it out in the ashtray then sighed. "I never really bought into the God thing. Religion felt like a lie men told to make people listen to them. Mostly, it seemed dumb to think a magic man in the sky cared about us. Like if I was a magic man and could make the earth or whatever, I wouldn't waste time on helping out losers." Raven set the ashtray on the ground and crossed her arms as if cold. "I see what Lar.. | heart-to-heart practically-siblings-in-law raven | Bijou Hunter | |

| b0cd75f | Bailey sat on the edge of the couch and fed Maddy grapes. The very swollen mommy-to-be initially complained about being fed like a pet. Eventually, she gave in and enjoyed the attention. Not to be outdone, Sawyer turned a fan towards Maddy and was painting her nails. I watched them baby her and wondered about when I would be that big and uncomfortable. "I'm in no hurry to have a baby," Tawny said, maybe for the tenth time since arriving. ".. | farah lark maddy sawyer tawny | Bijou Hunter | |
| cf862e8 | Cooper nodded. "I'd so do this shit, if Farah let me." Vaughn made the sound of a snapping whip and the whipped guys frowned at him. He just smiled. "Ah, having control over my balls is so wonderful. You boys should beg your women to let you have them back for the night. Maybe if you promise to do the dishes or wash the floor or some other shit job, they'll agree."

| 4f2f361 | Aaron loved to walk around shirtless and I overwhelmingly approved of his choice. Having seen the gym in one of the house's tiny bedrooms, I understood how he kept so ripped. Every time he caught me admiring the view, I pretended to be looking at his tats. He wasn't fooled. | Bijou Hunter | ||
