OBSIDIAN LIQUOR
by Scarlett Dawn
Daniil peered at me. His stare was a
warning. “What were you doing, Ms. Forter?”
So he did know who I was. The jerk had probably
followed me after I had bumped him.
I shrugged and went with the semi-truth. “Getting a
story.”
“What story might that be?” Stash asked, his gaze roaming me in
an assessing way. We had never met before, so this was my first up
close and personal with the man.
I shrugged again. “Brent and Cole are big
news. Anything that I can put in print that others don’t have is
good business.” Sticking to the truth as much as possible was always key
when caught snooping. And I was press. They expected it
of me.
“Hear anything interesting?” Daniil asked gently.
Instinct
had me taking a step back. The man was chilling on a
different level. “Nothing I
didn’t already know.”
OBSIDIAN SKY by Lara Henley
“I
can't believe you're fucking real; I dreamt of you, and that's all you've ever
been until now—a dream. I lie here, touching every inch of your body, and I
know you're real, but it feels like a dream. I can't believe how fucking
perfect you are, baby; that dream has nothing on the reality of you, Are’,” he
says as he kisses down the length of my neck. Am I going to do this? Am I going to give myself to him here on this
beach?
“I
want you so badly. You’re on my mind every second of every day. I know you want
to take things slowly but I have to have you now.” He nibbles down my legs and
I’m in pure ecstasy.
“You
can have whatever you want, Brandon. I’m yours.” I say barely mumbling the
words out. “Take me Brandon, I’m yours.
“Fuck,
don’t say stuff like that to me. It’s so fucking hot.”
“Take
me, Brandon. You have no idea how long I’ve waited for you.” Wait what? Did I just say that shit to him?
“What
do you mean?” he says, huffing as his lips make their way down to my breasts.
The anticipation of his lips is setting my insides on fire.
“Look
at me for a sec,” I say, lifting his head from my body. I miss him already. “I
saw you, Brandon, in a store when we were kids. I never forgot your eyes for
one second. You were with, I’m guessing, your mom and you looked at me like
you’d known me for years. Like you peered into my soul and I never forgot you.
I’ve been waiting for you ever since, and now, here you are.”
“Fuck,
were you dressed in some little weird black dress and a white bonnet thing on?”
He asks.
“Yeah,
that was me.” Shit, I don’t want to get into this tonight.
“I
remember you now. I knew I knew you. I remember wondering why you had on that
weird dress. I hadn’t seen anything like that. My mom slapped my hand for
staring at you for so long. I remember your hazel eyes, Are’. I never forgot
them either. Come here, please.” I throw my arms around him and kiss him deep
and hard. My tongue makes circles in his mouth and he moans, lighting a fire
beneath me. “Hold on, baby. I have some blankets in the car we can use. I want
to feel only you and not the sand.” As soon as Brandon lets me go, I
immediately miss his warmth. He jogs over to the truck and comes back with
three blankets. This is going to be a night that I’ll never forget.
OBSIDIAN BEAUTY
by Emily Walker
The bar was pretty much what she imagined, but it had a warm
feeling to it. The bartender was a middle-aged woman with an appealing smile;
the kind of person you wanted to tell your troubles to and see if she could
impart some wisdom on you. At least that was what Abigail was thinking as she
took a seat on a bar stool.
“Let me guess, you saw an ex today and he or she was looking
good?” The bartender certainly didn’t beat around the bush. Wow, talk about
intuition.
“Something like that.” Abigail smiled and grabbed a menu to have
something to look at instead of the woman who could read her so well.
“Honey, the food here is shit; you don’t want any of that. You
like whiskey?” Abigail was shocked someone would talk about their own
restaurant’s food that way, but she nodded.
“I’m Abigail. I just arrived into town today. You were right; he
was looking good, and I want to kill him.” She watched the bartender pour her a
shot and a second shot, which she assumed, was for herself. She was pretty, and
Abigail could tell she had been a knockout when she was younger. Some lines
were starting to form around her eyes, but her high blonde ponytail kept a
youthful glow about her.
“Stella Moet, my husband owns Moet’s, but the cook we have is
pitiful. That’s why I wouldn’t eat here until we found a better one. Slim
pickings in this town, you know.” Stella set both shots in front of Abigail and
winked. “One for luck and one for drunk.”
Abigail smiled as Stella went off to help some other patrons at
the end of the bar. She liked how nice everyone seemed to be in South Carolina.
In Florida, it was hit or miss, and up north, no one was friendly, especially
when they were hustling in New York. New Yorkers could tell when someone wasn’t
from New York, and they let you know it.
She was totally lost in her thoughts and didn’t notice someone
had settled onto the stool beside her. Finally when her eyes met the man who
appeared beside, her she couldn’t help but notice him. He was handsome and she
actually thought she could feel herself being pulled into his kind, vibrant
green eyes. She wanted to say something clever about staring at strangers, but
when she opened her mouth, that wasn’t what came out.
“Hi there,” she said, immediately hating herself. Who says that?
“Hi yourself. I’ve not caught your eye in this place before. Are
you new to town?” For a minute, she debated on telling him her real reason for
being there. What the hell was wrong with her, two seconds of eye contact and
she wanted to spill the beans?
“Yes, I just got in today, actually. Do you know of any hotels
nearby which aren’t too crappy and take a credit card?” He raised an eyebrow,
causing his eyes to crinkle a bit and she felt a little pulse go through her as
he bit his lip in thought. She really needed to get it together. It had been
awhile, but she was pretty sure before prison a man couldn’t affect her like
this at first glance. Well, that wasn’t true. Benton had. Handsome green eyes
were talking, and as usual, her thoughts were causing her to miss out.
“So, I can take you there if you want?” The stranger told her.
Abigail nodded, not sure what she was agreeing to. Hoping it was an escort to a
decent hotel, she signaled Stella for two more shots. The first two had gone
down quite well; this time she had a drinking buddy.
“Now, deputy, don’t be turning your charm on my new friend
here.” The man turned to Stella and gave her a grin. Even his teeth were
perfect, staring at them it dawned on her what Stella said. He was a cop! She
needed to get away from him before he found out what she was planning.
“I’m Scott,” he said, holding his hand out to her. She took it
timidly, which wasn’t like her at all.
“Abigail, Abigail Rivers, I just got out of prison.” Why the
hell did she say that? There was no good reason to say something like that to a
cop, and especially a good-looking cop she just met. “I mean it feels like I
just got out of prison.”
