"You're getting married?" Deborah asked, shocked.
"Yes, Mom. Please be happy for me. Now I know why the other relationships never worked out. Lily is the woman I am meant to be with for the rest of my life. We have so much in common. She's incredible."
Caroline's announcement threw her off guard. "Of course, I'm happy for you, honey. It's just that your news about getting married has taken me by surprise. Give me a minute to let it sink in," she said with a smile and then realized Caroline couldn't see her facial expressions. "I am thrilled for you, honey," she said mustering as much excited emotion as she could force into her voice.
"Well, in my case, I think it'll be fun to give up some of my creature comforts for a couple of days just to be totally alone with you." She flashed a wicked smile. "If I get bored, then you can be my toy. I can think of a lot of ways to have fun playing with you."
Emma licked her lips. "Such a wicked one-track mind you have, but I must admit that it would be my pleasure submitting to all your desires." Her eyes roamed up and down Vanessa's pantyhose-clad legs. "Do you have any idea how hot I get just looking at you? How excited I get every time I hear your key in the door?"
Shondra was still in shock after seeing Kassie McAlister in the flesh on the beach. She was breathtakingly beautiful. She was at a loss as to how to approach Kassie. Looking at Kassie it was plain to see why women threw themselves at her feet. She was ashamed to admit she'd been one of them. She was more ashamed that Kassie McAlister didn't even remember that long ago night. But Shondra remembered…she'd never forget it. She'd never told another soul about that night. Not even Beth with whom she'd shared her deepest feelings. Now she was sorry that she'd come here. She should have gone somewhere else.

How had her life become such a mess? Especially when none of it had been her fault? She was a victim of circumstances, but telling Annette about her past was her own fault. She'd been warned, but in a weak lonely moment, threw caution to the wind, hoping for compassion and friendship. She had to leave her own family with no warning or explanation. She simply vanished. However, Annette had violated her trust and now threatened to use it against her. Confessing everything to Annette had been a mistake she couldn't undo.
When she wasn't working, she secluded herself in her dingy cramped basement apartment. She craved love and romance and knew that she may never experience either again in this lifetime. Her frustration grew daily. She'd never so much as even gotten a speeding ticket in her life, but she was being punished through no fault of her own. At the age of thirty-two, she was much too young to spend the rest of her life this way, but the FBI hadn't given her any choice in the matter if she wanted to stay alive.

Gabriella laughed softly. "Oh, I was just thinking about something…nothing interesting." She watched Jordan's bright eyes cloud. "Actually, if you want the truth, I was thinking how beautiful you are." She paused. "I'd really like to get to know you better."
The sparkle came back into Jordan's eyes. "I was hoping you'd say that." She gazed into Gabriella's eyes. "Maybe this summer won't be so boring after all."
She reached out and patted Jordan's hand. Her heart fluttered with desire. Her gaze shifted to the pulsating vein in Jordan's neck and she quickly looked away. Could she hold herself back and love this woman without draining the life from her or worse send her to the same fate she had to endure? She must keep her guard up at all times.
Skye's closeness felt like Lara had just stuck her finger in an electrical outlet. She could almost see the sparks shooting out of her body. Her voice caught in her throat.
"You're burning up with fever!" Skye said, alarmed. "Do you want me to drive you to the ER?"
"No," Lara finally choked out. She looked into Skye's eyes. "I'm not sick. Ian doesn't understand."
"Understand what? Did you two have a fight?"
She nodded, then took the tissues Skye handed her and dabbed at her eyes before blowing her nose.
"Ian's just worried about you, Lara." Her eyes moved to the jewelry box. "It's still glowing and even brighter than before."
"Ian wants me to get rid of it…he thinks my grandmother was crazy."
