          there was something so pleasing about being able to pull such sounds of pleasure from her boyfriend. their time of quiet solitude was much needed, especially if they were going to be this vocal, if not more. six months was a long time to be without him, and she was hell bent on making up for lost time. they both were, it seemed, eagerly and wholly ready to be wrapped up in one another. ❝ we’ll leave that up for debate, ❞ she murmured quietly, gaze never faltering from his own as her hands never ceased their gentle motions against bare skin, innocent smile curling the corners of her lips upward. it was a rare occasion for her to be in control, and at the moment, she was definitely enjoying every second of it. ❝ is that what you want, baby ? want to watch me fuck you ? ❞ hand shifts to tilt his chin upward, bending down to capture his lips with her own in a soft kiss, filled with all the love and passion she had for him. lifting her body from his ever so slightly, her free hand shifted to his cock, aligning him with her soaked entrance as she slowly slid herself onto him. letting out a moan, she drew herself back slightly before picking up a slow pace as she began to ride him. ❝ fuck, baby, i’ve missed this. ❞

[fyrebred]

          SMOOTHING DOWN THE dress she’d pulled off one of the racks, she found herself twisting and turning in front of the mirror provided. lips pursed into the slightest of frowns, her own indecision making it harder than it should have been to pick out her current impulse buy. summer was the perfect time for a new wardrobe, if that’s what this weird in-between weather was that forks was having. ❝ what do you think ? ❞ serena questioned to the nearest individual, meeting their gaze in the mirror. ❝ i think i like the style, but i’m not sure. they have it in yellow, too, which feels more summery. i’m just too indecisive for my own good. ❞

“ i missed the sun , “ sol starts. “ i hope it decides to stay around for at least a few hours today. “ the vampire loved the sun - ironic , isn’t it ? with the help of her daylighter ring she was able to bask in the sun’s rays as much as she could. she lifts her head up and closes her eyes with a smile on her pink lips. “ it’s just so warm - it’s like a giant hug. “

[fyrebred]

          ❝ IT’S NICE, ❞ the hybrid mused, eyes closed in blissful contentment. the sun’s rays were warm, and she couldn’t help but find herself agreeing with the vampire. ❝ i was beginning to think that forks had never seen a day of sun before. at this point, i’m hoping it can at least stay a few days. ❞ shooting a smile towards the other, she found herself oddly at ease. ❝ i’m worried i’m going to be as pale as a ghost, at this rate. ❞

YOU ARE EVERYTHING I’VE EVER WANTED‌.

                  HAVING  HER  IN  HIS  ARMS  IS  where  everan  finds  the  most  solace  .  before  kimberly  ,  he  was  only  living  to  serve  his  family  .  to  keep  them  safe  and  happy  .  now  ?  now  he  had  a  completely  new  reason  to  live  .  for  her  .  because  after  all  this  time  ,  he’d  finally  found  her  .  he  tries  not  to  think  about  his  life  before  her  .  full  of  countless  flings  ,  nothing  sufficient  enough  to  fill  the  gaping  hole  in  his  heart  .  her  words  draw  a  breath  of  laughter  from  him  ,  hand  brushing  a  few  stray  strands  of  her  hair  back  ,  eager  to  get  a  full  glimpse  of  her  face  .  as  if  recommitting  every  detail  to  memory  once  again  .      ❝  i  could  say  the  same  about  you  .  ❞      just  as  he’s  about  to  press  his  hips  against  her  once  more  ,  he’s  stopped  at  her  request  .  there’s  the  sliver  of  a  whine  that  manages  to  escape  from  his  throat  ,  not  used  to  being  told  no  .  in  any  regard  .  still  though  ,  he  sits  up  ,  slipping  his  sweats  back  on  as  he  covers  her  bare  body  in  the  blanket  .      ❝  suppose  it’s  a  good  thing  jemma  isn’t  home  then  ,  ❞      the  last  thing  they  needed  was  for  her  little  sister  to  walk  in  on  them  ,  again  .  helping  her  off  the  couch  ,  he  led  them  to  the  kitchen  ,  perusing  through  her  shelves  and  her  fridge  .      ❝  how  does  a  steak  sound  ?  ❞      there  was  something  intimate  about  feeding  his  mate  .  a  symbolic  metaphor  for  how  he’d  always  provide  for  her  .  already  aware  of  her  answer  ,  everan’s  throwing  the  raw  steak  on  the  pan  ,  listening  to  it  sizzle  as  he  reverts  his  attention  back  to  her  .      ❝  come  live  with  me  ,  ❞      he  suggests  ,  eyes  gleaming  down  at  her  .      ❝  i  could  build  us  a  house  .  or  kick  everyone  out  of  the  packhouse  .  whatever  you  want  .  i  want  you  to  have  the  house  of  your  dreams  .  could  even  make  a  room  for  your  siblings  .  ❞      anything  to  make  her  happy  .  to  keep  her  happy  .

          HER LIFE HAD BEEN nothing short of a roller coaster ride from the time not long before her twenty-third birthday.   love and loss had seemed an endless cycle,   with more deaths than humanly possible,   but meeting everan along the way had been a light in the dark.   she’d always had her siblings,   but he gave her life more,   a reason for her existence.   everything had made sense at last.   and it was moments like these that she lived for most,   curled up and exchanging adoring gazes.   innocent smile settled on her lips at the sound,   hands cupping his face gently before he shifted positions.   ❝ just a break, ❞   she reminds him softly,   locating and pulling on her panties with minimal fuss.   a rarity in itself.   ❝ our night is far from over. ❞   despite how comfortable she was in the blanket,   and how willing she was to walk around in only that,   she makes a grab for his discarded shirt,   tugging it over her slight frame.   laughter leaves her lips as her hand curled around his own,   offering a quick shake of her head.   ❝ a very good thing,   considering i think she’s seen enough of the both of us to last her a lifetime.   she’s been spending more time with her boyfriend in his little van,   if i had to guess. ❞   though her nose wrinkled at the thought.   all she offered in response was a quiet hum,   but it’s enough of an affirmation as she settles back against the counter,   watching his movements intently.   lost in her thoughts,   she almost missed the statement,   surprise flashing briefly across her features before a familiar twinkle returned to her eyes.   ❝ you mean it ? you really want to wake up to this mess every single morning ? ❞   hands reach for him,   to pull him closer as her warm gaze sought out his own.   ❝ because i will,   gladly,   but don’t make anyone leave the packhouse.   that’s for family. ❞   she reminded him with his own words,   smile bright and wide as a thoughtful expression crossed her features.   ❝ we should have our own house,   nearby but still far enough to have a sense of privacy.   my perfect house is one with you in it, ❞   kim offered softly,   heart warmed by how ready he was to give her nearly anything she wasnted,   at the drop of a dime.   ❝ but i wouldn’t be opposed to two or three guest bedrooms.   a balcony or a porch.   some nice,   big windows.   crown molding,   too ! ❞

          THERE’S AN EASY laugh that leaves her lips,   her own nod quickly following suit.   though personally she really didn’t mind cats,   found them quite charming,   even.   ❝ aren’t they just crazy photogenic ?   i don’t understand how a cat can be prettier and take better pictures than all of mankind,   and it’s really not fair !   at least they’re very low maintenance,   most of the time. ❞   it’s peculiar,   at best,   that even after so many months in the quaint town,   there were still so many people she had yet to meet.   not that she was all too upset by this,   considering she took great enjoyment in meeting new people.   ❝ oh,   so we have a read mad queen on our hands then ?   remind me not to get on your bad side, ❞   playful wink accompanied the teasing quip.   nonetheless,   it seemed rather fitting,   with three little ones instead of three dragons.   hell,   they could very well be the same.   ❝ i actually moved here about six months ago.   right after the,   um,   disappearances, ❞   and she quickly cleared her throat.   ❝ very peculiar indeed.   i still don’t think i can find the perfect wardrobe for this place,   considering it can be warmish one second and down-pouring the next.   have you lived here long ? ❞

Oh. There it was again. That scent that was so familiar yet not all at once that made Adam lift his gaze and look around to find the source of it. He had been so preoccupied with the everything around him — the hustle and bustle of the pool party and ensuring Carina was safe — it dulled his senses. The food that was barbecuing was no help and the mass of people made it all the more difficult to make one smell distinct from another. It wasn’t until the silhouette in his peripheral came properly into view that he felt his heart practically stop. Ashleigh. Adam could usually handle matters with far more composure but this? He couldn’t bring himself to even utter a sound so much as take steps closer to her. He remained staring, as if deciphering if the girl had been a figment of his imagination and would vanish as quickly as she came. @fyrebred

[fyrebred]

          HER SENSE ARE ALL over the place with all the commotion of the party going on,   but even still,   there’s a scent that she’s been trying to place from the very moment she got there.   it’s not the first time she’s smelled through town,   and it’s certainly not one she’d ever forget.   eyes scan the party once,   twice,   three times over before she finds what she’s looking for.   who she’s looking for.   all at once there seems to be an unfamiliar surge of anger through her body,   because the deer in headlights look he offered her as their gazes met fleetingly was a testament to just how real this was.   and she was reeling from the audacity that he would show his face again so casually,   here of all places,   without even thinking to seek her out.   they’d shared a pack bond,   once upon a time,   and this is what she got in return.   before she can even think about it,   her feet are carrying her towards him,   almost thankful that he seems to shocked to move.   ❝ adam ? ❞   though she had no doubt it was him,   hands shoving against his sturdy form when she was in range.   ❝ what the fuck ?   i thought you were dead ! ❞

               ‘‘ look , i love taking psychology & all , but the motivation to go to class is pretty minor when it’s criminal psychology & i probably know more about serial killers than the prof does , ’’ the youngest scott muttered with a shrug of her shoulders , pulling her iced coffee to her lips. messy bun atop her head & her white t-shirt messily tucked into her jean shorts , it was shockingly a gorgeous day out , but yet here she was , worrying about summer courses that she stupidly put herself into. ‘‘ maybe i should’ve majored in law or some shit , i love to argue. sorry —– off topic , my seventeenth midlife crisis about my future is taking over my life , what were you saying ? ’’ yup , still dramatic.

          ❝ I’M STARTING TO THINK you should just start teaching the class instead.   i’m sure you know more and could certainly make it more interesting, ❞   mackenzie hummed with a soft laugh,   gaze resting on her sister as she brought her own,   hotter coffee to her lips.   she’s opted for a similarly relaxed look,   airy summer dress perfect for the rare warmth outside.   ❝ it’s not too late,   you know.   you could just as easily become the lawyer arguing a serial killer’s case.   or a politician,   they’re plenty dramatic,   just like you. ❞   she teased playfully,   her own train of thought momentarily forgotten.   ❝ oh !   i was asking when you’re done with class.   i’d think it’d be nice to take a day and spend it in the city. ❞   away from the terrors of forks.

Rebekah looked at the other curiously, “Oh perfect!” She hoped down from the stand moving toward the compulsed store clerk, “Now looky here, you are gonna go home and get a nice long rest, cause your boss is here and you know i’m in good hands.” The clerk nodded her head lightly before moving toward the door without so much as a wave at Serena and she was gone.  “Okay you, what is your name?” She questioned plopping down on the lounge chair glancing the other over.

          UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES,   serena might’ve squirmed under the look the woman fixed her with.   but curiosity ruled out this time.   body stiffened as she watched the exchange between the two,   never quite comfortable with the weird voodoo and mind control some vampires seemed to have over other people.   serena gave the worker a tight lipped smile as she left before her gaze focused more wholly on the woman in question.   ❝ serena,   and yours ?   or would you rather be known as the lady who compelled a whole store to herself ? ❞   lips purse in a thin frown as her gaze never wavered.   ❝ were you searching for something particular,   or just bored with your existence ? ❞

          ❝ I’M COUNTING ON THE fact that you haven’t. ❞   she had never met anyone with the same amount of follow through that everan had.   at least when it came to her.   he had yet to let her down since the very first day they had met.   even with every bump and trial that seemed to come along the way.   lips purse in faux denial at the nearly-reprimanding growl,   one she can almost feel in her bones.   ❝ i’m naturally short in every other regard,   what else do you expect of me ?   though, ❞   a shiver ran down her spine as the ghosting of his lips,   of the reminder of how they’d spent much of their time since her return.   ❝ i can’t say i don’t take great pleasure in seeing you on your knees. ❞   fingers brush absently at the hairs at the nape of his neck,   playful tone never faltering even as her body tingled with renewed feelings of desire.   werewolf stamina was a blessing.   ❝ and if i remember correctly, it absolutely took both of us only a matter of minutes to become distracted. ❞   familiar whine slipped from her lips at the taunting press of his hips,   muffled against his skin.   ❝ what did i say about follow through ? ❞   she chided playfully,   head pulled back to look at him.   ❝ you’re the first to assume i mean anything but real food.   but i am hungry.   for real food.   snack break before you get any more ideas..❞

riiiiip. nicky pulled a neon printed sign from off a utility pole and nearly tore it in half before he could see what it was for. forks was planning on having a pool party. “does this town ever do anything less…” nicky felt his hands crumple the poster together in a paper ball before discarding it onto the ground. “… tacky?” it was the best word he could use to describe chlorine filled madness. he could already picture swarms of children running barefoot at the public pool, moms clinging to their tanning oil to bathe in the sun while their husbands cast lazy grins to other women in bikinis. not to mention the smell. burned food over an open flame was enough to make him sea-sick. but, then again, it was forks. he was sure the town would do anything to keep the public at ease after all the trauma. “maybe if we’re lucky someone will slip and break their neck. boom. party over.”

          ❝ NO ONE EVER SAID you had to go, you know. there’s no town ordinance requiring you to attend every mildly cringe-worth event being hosted, ❞ the werewolf mused with a raise of her brow as she watched the vampire’s overly dramatic attack on the colorful poster that had been printed to advertise the event in question. there’s part of her that almost wants to laugh at the train of thought he provides, the obvious out that he wished for in this particular situation. ❝ i think that’s a little morbid, even by forks’ standards, but i suppose i understand the concept. i’m sure you’ve been around long enough to note the mayor’s obvious desire to gather all of the townsfolk in one place at one time. ❞ ashleigh merely shrugged her shoulders. ❝ it’s like they just have a desire for chaos. ❞

   quinn looked at the painting in front of her, standing in the on the edge of the forest in her paint-splattered overalls. she had intended to paint the scene but instead, her canvas was a pretty mess of dark colors. it looked like the faded dystopia of the other side, the one thing that had been clouding her head ever since she got back. she couldn’t eat or sleep, her mind always going back to what she went through. she felt bad about how she was reacting, she wasn’t the only person going through this in the town but coming back from the dead had changed the child of the moon and she didn’t know how to fix it. she almost didn’t notice the other person standing there as her green hues met theirs. a polite smile crossed her lips, feeling suddenly exposed as they could see her art. “I was feeling a bit angsty today I suppose,” she tried to play it off light-heartedly but the bags under her eyes gave away her exhaustion, “can I help you with something?”

          THE FOREST HAD become something of a comforting place for the wolf, finding peace in the calmness that nature offered. with everything going on, it seemed more and more difficult to find a moment to herself. at least, that’s what she’d been telling herself. steps had paused near a familiar clearing as a peculiar scent reached her nose. the scent itself was foreign, but something she couldn’t quite place about the other scents mingling with it. something that reminded strangely of another time. stepping closer, curiosity winning out as it always seemed to do, her eyes fell on the painting in front of the woman first. the dark colors and obviously morbid implications are what capture her attention, a mood that had blanketed the town only months prior. and it takes her a long moment to catch onto just how she knew the other scents. the closer she was, the stronger brayan’s smell was, coating the peculiar woman like a thick blanket. lips immediately purse, gaze drifting from her own to the obvious markings along her skin, stirring old feelings of jealousy. not that she had any right to be. brayan hadn’t been hers for a very long time. ❝ it’s a very thought provoking piece. you seem to have a lot on your mind, ❞ ashleigh mused instead of the obvious questions that burned in her chest. ❝ not particularly, i just happened to stumble upon you during my walk. curiosity killed the cat, and all that. ❞

Rebekah had compelled herself only time in a boutique,  modeling a dress she wore in their vanity mirrors as she gave herself a light spin.    The bell dinging over the door cause a loud and audible groan to escape from her lips.  “Mallory, I thought I told you to not let anyone in.” She growled spinning around, shooting a murderous glare at the clerk who seemed to be in a daze of reality.  “As you can see the store is closed, now shoooo.” She motioned with her hands.  “I’m busy.”

          IT WAS HER DAY off from working the floor of the boutique, something that was already a rare occurrence, though that never stopped her from popping in. the familiar ding of the door is comforting as eyes scan the building, confusion obvious at the nearly empty shop. arms fold over her chest as stern gaze settled on the taller blonde, head cocked to the side curiously. she exuded a lot of authority for someone in a town as small as forks. ❝ yes, i can certainly see that, though i’m not entirely sure how you managed it. ❞ there’s a slight shake of her head, standing firmly by the door. ❝ that may be fine, in theory, but you can’t exactly make the owner leave, hm ? besides, who better to assist you ? ❞ or help her out of the store in the most civil way possible.
