Kaleidoscope

Cause you piss me off. You make me laugh. You make me think. You’re absolutely fine with me bein’ nothin’ but me. You’re fuckin’ gorgeous. You’re a great lay. And you like my dog.

This was a kaleidoscope of beauty, the dials spinning, ever changing, but never anything short of spectacular.

Your girl?” I asked, my voice coming out in a near on squeak. “Yeah,” he answered, his voice deep, low and firm. “This is, well…kinda weird.” Understatement! “And fast.” Extreme understatement! “Met you twelve years ago and we’re just gettin’ here. I don’t call that fast. I call that a waste of fuckin’ time I’m about to rectify.

Because it means that much to me, I’m gonna handle this with care. You just gotta believe me.

Emme, baby, talk to me.” “I want this,” I whispered. And I did. Badly… “Good. You got it.

Is the sex good?” … “I hope it’s good but not great,” Krystal remarked. “Sex slave to an alpha. Bad news.” This time my head didn’t jerk. I blinked again. “I’m a sex slave to an alpha and I have no complaints,” Lauren muttered, grinning at Zara. “Me either,” Zara replied, grinning back. “I’ve had mine longer than all of you,” Nina announced. “And I’m of a mind that there will never be a time to complain.

The good-natured arguing that got your heart pumping, made you think, made you listen, made you feel just that bit more alive.

It was then I was seeing the wisdom of doing what I could to amass a girl posse who knew how to deal with “uber-alphas” because they could share their wisdom.

I think you’re worried about nothing,” I told him. “And I think I got a dick,” he told me and I blinked at his words. “And havin’ a dick, I know how other guys who got one think.

All that was Emmanuelle Holmes in his kitchen in his tee making him a sandwich after he’d fucked her and they’d both come hard. That did not suck.

See, seeing him and how much he loved his wife, his daughter, how much he missed them, I changed. I was careful about letting people in my life. People I could lose. People who, losing them, could hurt me. Even the ones I loved, I held myself remote from, so if I lost them, I didn't allow myself to feel that hurt.

God. He could even dive perfectly. In jeans. Or maybe it was perfect because it was hot and he was doing it in jeans. Or maybe it was just hot because he was joining me.

You love me but won’t let yourself have me.” “I—” “And, baby,” he lifted his hand to my jaw and dropped his face closer to mine, “I’m gonna figure out why. Fix what’s broke in you. Then turn my attention to givin’ you the best life I can for the rest of the time you’re on this earth breathin’.

She traveled too. She had a strict rule. One week vacation a year, relaxation on a beach. The other week of vacation, adventure. Going somewhere she could learn, see, taste, experience.

Been to some interesting places, Emme, baby, and that has always been with me. I
