Excerpts
OBSIDIAN LIQUOR by Scarlett Dawn
Daniil peered at me. His stare was a warning. āWhat were you doing, Ms. Forter?ā
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. āGetting a story.ā
āWhat story might that be?ā 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. āBrent and Cole are big news. Anything that I can put in print that others donāt have is good business.ā Sticking to the truth as much as possible was always key when caught snooping. And I was press. They expected it of me.
āHear anything interesting?ā Daniil asked gently.
Instinct had me taking a step back. The man was chilling on a different level. āNothing I didnāt already know.ā

OBSIDIAN SKY by Lara Henley
āI can't believe you're fucking real; I dreamt of you, and that's all you've ever been until nowāa 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, Areā,ā 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?
āI want you so badly. Youāre on my mind every second of every day. I know you want to take things slowly but I have to have you now.ā He nibbles down my legs and Iām in pure ecstasy.
āYou can have whatever you want, Brandon. Iām yours.ā I say barely mumbling the words out. āTake me Brandon, Iām yours.
āFuck, donāt say stuff like that to me. Itās so fucking hot.ā
āTake me, Brandon. You have no idea how long Iāve waited for you.ā Wait what? Did I just say that shit to him?
āWhat do you mean?ā he says, huffing as his lips make their way down to my breasts. The anticipation of his lips is setting my insides on fire.
āLook at me for a sec,ā I say, lifting his head from my body. I miss him already. āI saw you, Brandon, in a store when we were kids. I never forgot your eyes for one second. You were with, Iām guessing, your mom and you looked at me like youād known me for years. Like you peered into my soul and I never forgot you. Iāve been waiting for you ever since, and now, here you are.ā
āFuck, were you dressed in some little weird black dress and a white bonnet thing on?ā He asks.
āYeah, that was me.ā Shit, I donāt want to get into this tonight.
āI remember you now. I knew I knew you. I remember wondering why you had on that weird dress. I hadnāt seen anything like that. My mom slapped my hand for staring at you for so long. I remember your hazel eyes, Areā. I never forgot them either. Come here, please.ā 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. āHold on, baby. I have some blankets in the car we can use. I want to feel only you and not the sand.ā 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 Iāll 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.
āLet me guess, you saw an ex today and he or she was looking good?ā The bartender certainly didnāt beat around the bush. Wow, talk about intuition.
āSomething like that.ā Abigail smiled and grabbed a menu to have something to look at instead of the woman who could read her so well.
āHoney, the food here is shit; you donāt want any of that. You like whiskey?ā Abigail was shocked someone would talk about their own restaurantās food that way, but she nodded.
āIām Abigail. I just arrived into town today. You were right; he was looking good, and I want to kill him.ā 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.
āStella Moet, my husband owns Moetās, but the cook we have is pitiful. Thatās why I wouldnāt eat here until we found a better one. Slim pickings in this town, you know.ā Stella set both shots in front of Abigail and winked. āOne for luck and one for drunk.ā
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 wasnāt from New York, and they let you know it.
She was totally lost in her thoughts and didnāt notice someone had settled onto the stool beside her. Finally when her eyes met the man who appeared beside, her she couldnāt 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 wasnāt what came out.
āHi there,ā she said, immediately hating herself. Who says that?
āHi yourself. Iāve not caught your eye in this place before. Are you new to town?ā 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?
āYes, I just got in today, actually. Do you know of any hotels nearby which arenāt too crappy and take a credit card?ā 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 couldnāt affect her like this at first glance. Well, that wasnāt true. Benton had. Handsome green eyes were talking, and as usual, her thoughts were causing her to miss out.
āSo, I can take you there if you want?ā 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.
āNow, deputy, donāt be turning your charm on my new friend here.ā 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.
āIām Scott,ā he said, holding his hand out to her. She took it timidly, which wasnāt like her at all.
āAbigail, Abigail Rivers, I just got out of prison.ā 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. āI mean it feels like I just got out of prison.ā
