Saturday's Excerpt – The Interview

"No one likes to be criticized. Besides, I'm supposed to be the one interviewing you."

A hurt expression crossed Shayla's beautiful face. "I'm only trying to help you. Look, it's late. I'm going to grab a shower then get some sleep. You can use the guest room down the hall third door on the right." She moved toward the hallway.

"I…I thought…." her voice trailed off.

Shayla's head snapped back around. "You thought what? You have a bad habit of leaving sentences unfinished. If you have something to say, please say it."

Saturday's Excerpt – The Interview

"What would you expect from me?"

"Expect? I would expect your love, friendship, loyalty…what the hell do you think I'd expect? What anyone expects in a relationship." Her eyes flashed. "And I would give you the same. If you know anything at all about me you know that those I love are fiercely protected by me from the media. If you've heard anything to the contrary it's not the truth. I've never allowed my private life to be made public."

"I'm sorry…I didn't mean to offend you, but sometimes one's private life does become public knowledge especially when that person is in the public eye."

"Don't believe everything you hear or read, Rae. My God, you're a journalist. You've probably twisted a few things around that someone has said before. You know, take a piece of this and that and maybe print a damning statement without adding what may have been said afterwards by way of explanation by the interviewee."

"Maybe some journalists do that, but that's not the way I operate."

Saturday's Excerpt – Best Friends

Callie watched the color drain from Katie's face and realized that Katie misread her silence as dislike. "No…no," she quickly whispered in a raspy voice. "It's okay." She placed a trembling hand on top of Katie's, staring into her sea-green eyes and losing herself in the wonder of everything that made Katie what she was. Now those eyes held the promise of something special.

"What do you want from me, Katie?"

Katie tenderly put her free arm around Callie's neck and drew her closer. Callie felt Katie's fingertips tremble as their lips met again. This time neither one of them pulled away. She wanted to stay locked in Katie's embrace for the rest of her life.

"How does that feel?" Katie quietly asked.

Callie felt Katie's warm breath close to her ear. "Great," she murmured. "I never had a massage before. Guess I'll have to keep you around."

"I don't mind. Just call me whenever you need one."

Callie closed her eyes as Katie's hands moved over her entire back. She sucked in her breath as those intense hands continued touching her throbbing body longing to turn over and pull Katie down on top of her but knew she couldn't do that. When Katie was finished, Callie could still feel the sensation from her touch, and couldn't recall ever feeling so relaxed and peaceful.

Saturday's Excerpt – The Other Side

"Your affairs tortured me, Michael," she continued. "I felt so violated."

"What about yours and Clare's?" he countered. "How can you twist things to make me out to be the villain in this marriage?"

"I wasn't screwing my staff!"

"You might as well have been."

"Then why didn't you leave, Michael?" She looked pointedly at him. "Why?"

He kept quiet.

"You didn't leave because the benefits were too good. You got to play the part of the doting husband and father, but most importantly you enjoyed all the prestige that went along with it, not to mention the money and other luxuries."

He let his breath out slowly. "What kind of woman would marry a man knowing that she only enjoyed being with women?"

Saturday's Excerpt – The Other Side

"You have a visitor," he said quietly.

"No one knows I'm here." She started to tremble. "Oh my God! I hope the press hasn't found out where I am."

He laid a hand on her shoulder. "It's Clare Christian."

Ally's hand flew to her mouth. "Clare's here?" she exclaimed. "Where is she?"

He opened the door and motioned for the woman. Clare walked into the room and over to Ally, quickly enclosing her in her arms. He closed the door and stood silently watching the women.

Tears filled Ally's eyes. "Oh my, God, Clare, you don't know how I've needed you, but how did you find out?"

She softly laughed. "Sweetheart, when I didn't hear from you I knew something terrible must have happened. Then when I read in the papers that you'd resigned I knew something was wrong. I've been trying to find you for so long. Last night I broke down and called Michael. I insisted he tell me your whereabouts."

"I thought you'd be the last person he'd tell."

"He knows I'll never leave you, Ally, unless you ask me to."

She touched her cheek. "That will never happen, Clare."

Saturday's Excerpt – The Silent Cry

J.C. looked up hoping to conceal the pain Samantha's words caused. "We used to be so close, Sam. It seems like it was years ago now." She swallowed hard. "I love you. That has never stopped for me. I don't know why you ended our relationship. I was so hurt when you never visited me in jail. I thought you didn't care. I couldn't take it when you said you didn't want to see me anymore. I don't care about anything anymore…especially now with Harry gone." A tear slid from her eye, making a slow descent down her cheek. "I don't know what happened that night; I wish to God I could remember, but I can't. When I came here that night I thought that maybe you would have missed me so much that you would want me back." She cleared her throat. "But I swear to you that I did not kill Harry. I know I was set up and I've been racking my brain trying to figure this out." She twisted her fingers through her hair. "I don't have any recollection of anything after I left here that night. At first, I thought I was losing my mind. I just wish I could remember," she sobbed.
