by K. I. Lynn
She stops dead in her tracks and whips around toward me, fire in her eyes. If I didn’t know better, I’d say she had smoke coming out of her nose. Huh . . . interesting.
“What the fuck is that supposed to mean?”
“Just what I said. You’re used to running away when you don’t like something, so go ahead and fly away, little bird.”
“I’m not running. You’re crazy.”
“If you say so. It looks like you’re running to me. Why is that, Alyson?”
“I don’t run!” she screeches.
“Obviously you’re running from something, with all the nameless fucking you’ve been doing.”
“Really? And what are you running from, Cameron Hayes? Because from what I’ve seen, you do plenty of your own nameless fucking!” she says, seething.
Oh good. She’s mad now. When isn’t Alyson Payne angry?
“First off, babe, I’m not running from shit, and I always get their names. Sometimes I even get breakfast in bed. Eggs and bacon or Mickey Mouse shaped fucking pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream.”
“Oh, I’m sure you do, asshole.”
I ignore her comment and keep going. This fucking woman infuriates me to no end. “You know why I always get their names, have breakfast, and sometimes even dinner? Because I’m not a bad guy. I might see them again or I might not, but I don’t run. I walk, and I always make sure that when I leave satisfied, she’s satisfied, and if she’s not, well, I rectify that shit real fast, so we are both happy. So, no, baby, I don’t run. You, however, run through men like water.”
“So now you’re saying I’m a whore?”
“No. You just said that. I said you are running from something. What is it, Aly?”
“No. What you just said was that you could fuck whoever you want, get their names, have them make you Mickey fucking Mouse pancakes, which by the way is fucking ridiculous all by itself, and you’re somehow not a whore? What are you, ten?”
I start to answer her smart remark, but she keeps going and doesn’t breathe between words.
“You need your man card pulled, buddy. Maybe someday you’ll get it back when you don’t eat fucking Disney shaped pancakes, but that’s beside the point. You’re saying it’s okay for you, but if I do it as a woman, I’m running from something or a whore. That’s just some bullshit, Cameron. It’s a bullshit double standard.”
“You’re putting words in my mouth.”
“Really? Then what are you running from, Cam? You’ve no wife. No girlfriend. Just fuck buddies. Why is that, huh?”
“I keep telling you, and it’s not because I’m running. I just haven’t found the right one that I felt was worth settling down with.”
“Well . . . don’t fucking look at me!”
“Oh, trust me, sweetheart, I’d never make that fucking mistake again. I’m looking so far away from you it’s not even funny.” She glares at me before pushing past me and taking the stairs two at a time. I shut the door and follow behind her, but keep far back enough that she can’t kick me down the stairs. I don’t trust her evil ass for even a minute and would put nothing past her. I reach Ev’s door as the she-devil my sister calls a best friend knocks lightly on, and I stand to the side.
“I don’t hear anything,” I say. “Maybe they fell asleep, and you should just come back later, preferably when I’m long gone.” She turns, and if looks could kill, I’m confident I’d have died twenty times already.
“Well, gee, dumbass. Maybe you should go and come back later when I’m gone. You’d do us all a favor if you weren’t here polluting the air with all the bullshit that comes out of your mouth. That and noise pollution.”
A throat clears from behind both Aly and me, and I turn to see Niko standing there with the door to Ev’s room open.
“Oh, hey, Aly. You here to see Ev and the baby?” Niko asks her with a bit of an uncomfortable look on his face. I’m sure he’s heard enough.
Aly snorts out a sound that sounds like a cross between a pig and a wounded dog, and I just stare at her and try and look disgusted. “Well, I’m certainly not here to see this asshole. Are they awake; can I go in?”
“Sure. Ev just fed Faith, but she’s always hungry, so I’m sure she’ll be awake soon. Go ahead in and tell Ev I’ll be back in a sec.” Niko gives her a half smile, but I know this look. I’m not in the mood to explain this to him right now, but fuck if he’s going to leave it alone. He grabs my arm, dragging me down the hall before he stops and crosses his arms over his chest.
“What the fuck was that, Cam?” Niko asks.
“What was what?”
“Don’t play dumb with me, brother. You know damn well what I’m talking about, but just so we can cut past all the bullshit I know you’re about to spit at me, be blunt. Are you fucking Alyson? Your sister’s best friend?”
I narrow my eyes at him. “You do realize you fucked my sister, right, and that you were my best friend when it happened?”
“Was?” he asks, his eyebrow raises as he looks at me.
“Still are, but that doesn’t mean I have to explain to you who I am or who I’m not fucking, so cut the shit, Niko.”
“Fucking hell! You are!”
“No, I’m not!”
“Dude, I’ve known you since we were kids.” Niko quirks his brow. “I know when you lie, and fucker, you are lying right now.”
“I’m not lying because I’m not sleeping with Alyson.”
“Not now, but you have. I just heard the two of you, and the sexual tension between you two would cut concrete in half right now, so spill it.”
“Fine. We fucked around, but it was a long time ago. End of story.”
“I knew it! How did I miss this? I’ve known you for years and didn’t put two and two together until today. That explains the hostility the two of you have. Explains a lot! Why not just sit and talk to her?” Niko says with that dumb as fuck smile of his.
“What the fuck, Niko, are you my friend or fucking Dr. Phil? Just drop it. I’m going to see my niece. Stay out here and hold the door for thing two in there as I’m sure she’ll be leaving as soon as I enter the room.”
“Who’s thing one?” Niko says, and I ignore his question. Now that he knows, I’m positive he’s going to bust my balls whenever he sees Alyson and me in the same room. Asshole.
I turn and haul down the short hallway to see my sister and niece before Niko has a chance to dig any further. It’s none of his damn business anyway. I may not be sleeping with her right now, but that doesn’t mean the thought of that attitudinous mouth of hers wrapped around my cock in the near future isn’t on my to-do list. Now I just have to get her on the same fucking page, which is easier said than done. Alyson Payne gives new meaning to the phrase, “Game on,” but I’ve never backed down from anything in my life, and I’m not about to let a girl with the big mouth and attitude take me down to her five-foot-four-inch level.
“Game on, sweetheart. Shit’s about to get real fucking interesting.”

Six
I had a one-night stand. It wasn’t my first, but it would be my last.
A gun to the head.
A trained killer.
A deadly conspiracy.
Kidnapped and on the run, my life and death is in the hands of a sadist captor who happens to be my one-night stand. Armed with countless weapons, money, and new identities, the man I call Six drags me around the world.
The manhunt is on and Six is the next target. Can we find out who is killing off the Cleaners before they find us?
Two down, seven to go.
When it’s all over he’ll finish the job that dropped him into my life, and end it.
Stockholm Syndrome meets bucket list, and the question of what would you do to live before you died. The questions aren’t always answered in black and white. Gray becomes the norm as my morals are tested.
Death is a tragedy, and I’ll do anything to stay alive.
Are you ready for the last ride of your life? Six has a gun to your head—what would you do?
This isn’t a love story.
It’s a death story.

Breach Book 1
Existence is more than just a word, it’s a state of being. More importantly, it’s my state of being. Day by day I go through the motions of living—eat, breathe, work, sleep.
That is until I finally get some help at work in the form of Nathan Thorne. He’s sexy, cocky, arrogant, an asshole, and total bullshit.
I see through the façade to the turbulent man beneath, but I’m not the only one who can see through masks.
One late night the tension between us explodes, starting a lust filled craving for each other. All it takes is that night and his dirty talking mouth, and I’m his.
Now sex is in the mix. Violent and dirty and passionate and everything I need to fill the void inside me but one thing is missing—he can never love me.
It’s not enough for me to leave, even though I know I should.
More than my heart is on the line, and I don’t know if I’ll survive our breach.

She’s under my skin, all around me, and I watch her morph from a sexy teenager to an irresistible woman.
I can’t take it anymore, I need her.
