“Wait? What the fuck?” Tate whispered behind me. “What the fuck indeed. What the hell is going on, Steff?” Blayne asked. I didn’t answer. All I could do was stare at the face on the screen. My blood seemed to be alternating between freezing and boiling. My brain wanted to split apart, because it made…

When I got to the office, the guys were already there, and our entire staff was out patrolling the town. Everyone except Kennedy, who was at her usual place at the reception desk. The guys were in the conference room. As soon as I walked in, I saw Kellan’s face on the big screen at…

Now, we stood there watching her answer questions about something she never should have had to deal with. If I’d been here, I would have demanded I be the one to open the box. I would have seen the disgusting mess inside it. If I hadn’t been out in the woods arguing with my damn…

I rolled my eyes. “Since we’re talking about getting back to normal, I forgot to tell you Larry called earlier.” “What did the ever-delightful Larry need this time?” “He fucked up, first off. He started trying to chew me out about not having made a decision about going back to LA. I put him in…

You know what I mean. The animals inside us act more on instinct than on logic. This curse escalates the need to…

The next several days passed in a haze of anxiety and worry. All I could think of was Ryland and whatever he was planning next. It was exhausting. Steff tried to help. He and the rest of his friends pretty much had their entire company on high alert. They’d pulled all their employees off every…
