No matter how hard I try, I can never drown the memories.I miss alcohol.The craving claws against my stomach every day.And being in this rehab center doesn’t help.No one understands how it feels to not be able to save someone you love.I had to watch Macy’s demise.How she screamed for me to help her.I hear those screams. They echo in my head. A song on repeat.And a patient here, Sunnie, she tries to make me feel better.She reads a damn book to me every chance she gets, and it grinds my nerves... moreNo matter how hard I try, I can never drown the memories.I miss alcohol.The craving claws against my stomach every day.And being in this rehab center doesn’t help.No one understands how it feels to not be able to save someone you love.I had to watch Macy’s demise.How she screamed for me to help her.I hear those screams.

How am I supposed to know who is missing?I knew this party was a bad idea.Now, one of my own is in trouble and as the Prez of the MC, I should know not to play a game.But we are on a timer and someone is using us as pawns.It’s up to us to save one of our own.The clock starts now.Tick-f*king-tock. less

I’m too dark for her light.I am who I am, and I won’t apologize for it.I don’t know how to be...Normal.I have my reasons.I've been through hell.I've touched the flames themselves and I've danced with the devil.Intimately.Damnation torched my soul until it was black.Then I see her.I'm enthralled, but I can't speak to her.She's too pure.Too fragile.Too innocent.She doesn't need to see my torched soul.She doesn't need to taste my damnation.I watch what I can't have.I swear I'll protect her... moreI’m too dark for her light.I am who I am, and I won’t apologize for it.I don’t know how to be...Normal.I have my reasons.I've been through hell.I've touched the flames themselves and I've danced with the devil.Intimately.Damnation torched my soul until it was black.Then I see her.I'm enthralled, but I can't speak to her.She's too pure.Too fragile.Too innocent.She doesn't need to see my torched soul.She doesn't need to taste my damnation.I watch what I can't have.I swear I'll protect her.Even if she doesn't know I'm there.I get more...Enthralled.She loves books.I wonder if I could love them too.She loves wine.I imagine us sharing a glass.Imagination. What a tease.Enthralled. Entranced.Obsessed.She feels me there.Sees me out of the corner of her eye.I'm the reason the hair on the back of her neck is standing up.But I stay in the shadows where I belong.Until I can't.Until the day I see her cry.Those tears feel like open wounds.I want to heal them.But all she does is run.So I follow.Enthralled.Entranced.Obsessed.RUTHLESS.I won't stop until she no longer has a reason to cry.Even if it means I have to ride through the fires of hell one more time. less

Love is a powerful force, but it doesn’t compare to guilt. And just like most people, my guilt eats me alive.I went from being an irresponsible kid who didn’t know any better to an irresponsible man who does.I make no apologies.Don’t take my carelessness for strength.My blood is as deadly as the bullet that killed my brother, and once I’m cut, there’s no stopping the river of rage.My past is dead. I’m not like my MC brothers. Nothing is going to come bite me in the ass.Or so I thought... moreLove is a powerful force, but it doesn’t compare to guilt.

I’m not like my MC brothers. Nothing is going to come bite me in the ass.Or so I thought.Because life gave me Mary, the little hellraiser who tries to be reckless.She’s only looking to escape the nightmare of what happened to her in Atlantic City.She’s a good girl. The kind to wear pearls and fancy cardigans. She doesn’t belong in this life.Even if I know she belongs with me.She paints her lips in red lipstick, but I know it’s an effort to hide the pain.There’s more than the fact we are too different to be together.Her past isn’t dead.And mine has come back to life. less

I don’t live in the shadows anymore.Daphne has dragged me into her light.At first, it was bright, and I didn’t know how to live in it.I’m… adjusting.Life for the most part is better than I ever dreamed.But not better for her dreams.Especially when dreams tread the line of reality.When she tells me the truth, it sends me into a quiet place.A place where I plan, a place where I figure out who her father really is and what he did.A place where I hone in on my target... moreI don’t live in the shadows anymore.Daphne has dragged me into her light.At first, it was bright, and I didn’t know how to live in it.I’m… adjusting.Life for the most part is better than I ever dreamed.But not better for her dreams.Especially when dreams tread the line of reality.When she tells me the truth, it sends me into a quiet place.A place where I plan, a place where I figure out who her father really is and what he did.A place where I hone in on my target.He is the reason for her mind to be lost.And when she gets lost, I always find her and bring her back to me.That is until she leaves because life loves to shred my soul.She’s Gone.And now I’m the one lost. I’m in the shadows and for the first time, I don’t want to be here.I need my comet’s light.Only to find her…And she doesn’t remember us.Or me.I’m a stranger.How can I make her fall in love with me all over again?She’s my wish upon a star.And I’ll kill her father for taking my wish.I can’t tell anyone.Or my wish won’t come true.And I wish for her love again. less

Just when you think you have it all, everything changes...I had everything a kid could want.A home. Food. Toys. Friends. Loving parents.And it all equaled happiness.Then my life went up in smoke.Happiness no longer existed.I trusted the wrong person.And in a blink of an eye, the cruelty of the world reared its ugly head.Four walls. Darkness.Memory loss.Chains.Sex.My first love.And people watching in the corners.Now, I'm conditioned.I need to watch.I need to be watched... moreJust when you think you have it all, everything changes...I had everything a kid could want.A home.

Darkness.Memory loss.Chains.Sex.My first love.And people watching in the corners.Now, I'm conditioned.I need to watch.I need to be watched.No one understands the turmoil inside me.And the one person who seems to calm it?Ruby Raine.A little spitfire of a woman who released the strife I've been swallowing for eighteen years.She made me realize how weak I was and how strong I needed to be.To tackle my demons, I have to admit everything.I have to trust and that's one thing that doesn't come easy for me.Ruby shows me it's okay to let go, to let someone steer for a bit, to give up a little control.So I let go. I let her have the reins.The road is bumpy, a minefield of explosives with her debt and my pain.Every chance she takes on me is a step I take to better myself.Love is a surprise.A dart that Ruby tossed, and it hit me in the middle of my chest.Unleashing… everything.I'm my own target. If there's one thing I can do, it's aim. less

I'm a car accident waiting to happen and it's only a matter of time before I crash into something.Every day that passes, every second I blink, the need to drink grows. Meetings aren’t enough. My willpower isn’t enough.Sunnie… The second I see her, I want to crash into her instead. But she may not be enough to kill the need.And when Sunnie tells me something that I can’t handle?I break. I run away. I sprint to the nearest watering hole... moreI'm a car accident waiting to happen and it's only a matter of time before I crash into something.Every day that passes, every second I blink, the need to drink grows.

But she may not be enough to kill the need.And when Sunnie tells me something that I can’t handle?I break. I run away. I sprint to the nearest watering hole.Away from life, from responsibilities, from fear…But running can only take you so far. Her words play on repeat in my head. If I don’t have her, I have nothing.Nothing except my addiction. I’m staring at the bottle, and boy is she beautiful.Just one taste and everything will be okay... less

She slingshotted her way into my heart. I’m a laidback kind of guy. I don’t like to take life too seriously. I’ve experienced serious and I’ve gone through the bad life has to offer. I’m ready for the good in life. I wear my heart on my sleeve just so someone can take it. Someone does…Natalia Moretti. Out of all the people for me to love, why does it have to be her?The frenemy’s daughter. I’m screwed. I’m risking my life to be with her... moreShe slingshotted her way into my heart.

I’m risking my life to be with her. But if life isn’t about taking risks, then what the hell else are we supposed to do?Love with her isn’t simple. There’s blood. War.Revenge. Anger. And that’s not the worst of it. Her Uncle Maximo poses a threat a long with someone who I thought was long gone out of my life. Protecting the one’s I love means I could die. Death doesn’t scare me. I’ve come close one too many times to be afraid it.I face it head on.I will die giving this battle everything I have if it means my family is safe. And if I do, heaven better have tacos. less

I used to live in darkness and a comet soared through my night sky. So I made a wish.Blood is my sanction.Pain is my salvation.Fear is what I instill.Especially for my Comet.The warm barrel of a gun against my head? It won’t stop me from protecting what is mine.Even if it means spilling more blood.My love for her has been tested and I’m furious.Seconds has turned to minutes.Minutes has turned to hours.And suddenly months have gone by without a change... moreI used to live in darkness and a comet soared through my night sky.

Everyone has dreams when they are young.And mine came to an abrupt halt. I changed as a man, as a person, my soul was damaged beyond repair.So I turned into someone everyone would hate.Because I hate everyone and everything.I’m furious at the world.I don’t see that changing anytime soon.But then it does change.And if there is one thing I am not good at, it’s adapting.Hope, Bullseye’s daughter, jump starts my soul again.I hate it.I love it.I need her.But I can’t have her... moreEveryone has dreams when they are young.And mine came to an abrupt halt.

She’s got a kid.And everyone knows how I feel about kids.Vermin. Loud. Annoying.Wonderful. Beautiful. Precious.The voice inside my head is stupid.It wants and wants but I won’t allow myself to have it.I don’t deserve to have it.There’s no hope for me.Even if hope is staring me in the face.I have to focus on me. My business. I’m on a case.Women are dying.And it’s all because of me.I have to protect what I care about for once in my life.I failed once and I refuse to do it again. How can I love her, when hate is all I’ve ever known? less
