ith an ease made
possible by her new rock-climbing hobby, Becka hauled the very last box up the three stories to their new apartment. It contained an assemblage of silly things neither of them particularly needed but couldn’t quite manage to throw out. Jumbled school trophies, yearbooks, framed photos, marathon ribbons and souvenirs, these were memories they'd made before they were a couple or shared together later, the sum of their achievements in a three by two foot cardboard box. Becka could have wept as she brought the very last piece up from the truck, but instead she flung her arms around the man who was busy trying to wave the driver away, yet gladly relented to the insistent kisses of his wife.
Not that many years had passed since they left this city together. Their parents put up an earnest fight, but their desire to be together could not be overcome, and her dad and his mom had finally accepted their relationship. Becka went to business school and now ran her own promotions company, not so far from the glitter of her old life, but not too close either. Fitz honed his skills even further, and over the intervening five years had amassed a cult gallery following. Exhibitions of his ink toured the country, drawing appreciative oohs and ahhhs from the more conservative crowd while netting commission requests from the hipper attendees. Either way, he was finally being commended as the visual genius Becka had always insisted he was. Together, they had torn through the country on wings of ambition but always circled back to their shared nest. And now, they had bought one together, ready to settle down. Ready to start a family.
"So, first night back in town,” Fitz murmured into Becka’s neck, and she sucked down his scent greedily, as woozily in love as the day she first saw him in that tattoo shop. She was wrong about the two of them looking back and thinking nothing of their month of torturous courtship. It wasn't nothing. The need they discovered for each other in that heady time imbued undeniable importance to this blip in their history. Their hardship defined their love, and Becka wouldn't diminish it for all the world.
"So?" Becka finally responded, batting her eyelashes against Fitz’s neck, gratified by the saucy chuckling she wrought.
"So..... shall we, well, you know?" Fitz winked and they both giggled, collapsing on their freshly made bed in a snuggling heap.
"Oh, I think we probably should. Don't you?"
Their bodies were lit by the neon light Fitz had insisted on keeping from Dickie’s, and their reassembled bed groaned under their weight against the floorboards.
"You should oil those joints," Becka whispered to Fitz before receiving a playful slap on her toned buttock.
"No boring household talk! Not now,” Fitz’s muffled voice intoned gravely, and Becka stretched out her gorgeously fit body and gave him a playful slap back.
"Ha! Like you ever minded before, husband.” The word still sounded a bit foreign yet exciting at the same time. They had officially tied the knot one week prior, in a small ceremony attended only… yes, by their parents. “Wanna punish me for being boring?” Becka giggled and thrust her rump in the air as Fitz fell upon it, easing his organ in. Becka groaned and purred beneath his thrusts, the two of them heaving and moaning together, their tattoos vibrant in the half light, the air sticky and hot around them. But Becka wasn't thinking about any of that right now, too engrossed in the sheer power of her husband's cock.
As the couple pumped and groaned their way to a climax, Becka did manage to have one truly coherent thought, one idea ringing so loud and true, not even the combined full-throttled orgasms of feverishly humping couple could drown it out.
She was a very lucky girl indeed.

I expected to see in a police interview room was my estranged stepbrother.
Samantha
When I’m called to represent a mysterious client, I had no idea it would put me face to face with the one guy I could never forget. But memories are like shadows, following you around no matter how hard you try to break free from their chains.
He was my best friend and my stepbrother, but now he’s a stranger.
Then our eyes meet across the interview room and I know I’m not going to be able to stay away, no matter how many times he warns me it’s too dangerous to become mixed up in his life.
Brandon
On the outside I’ve crafted an image to help me fit in; tattoos and muscles, street clothes and a scowl.
I’ve modeled myself on the man I despise most, the man who took me from a happy home only to neglect me as a kid and use me as an adult.
I’m stuck in a world I don’t want to be in because there’s nothing for me outside of this. But then Sammie walks back into my life and nothing feels the same.
She’s beautiful, and I know I shouldn’t want her that way but I do. Just one touch and I can’t get her out of my mind.
I want to escape but how can I when I know I’ve lived a life that’s put me beyond the point of return. Saving myself now would risk the only girl I ever loved.
