An Offer to Torment (You)

“No,” Eddie said, his voice hard as he pinned Buck with a look that sent a shiver racing down his spine. “I’m not taking my problems with Shannon out on you, Buck. I won’t hurt you.” And for one stunning moment, Buck forgot how to breathe. His heart did a complicated somersault in his chest as he let that settle over him. Anyone else and Buck would’ve been stinging with the rejection. But it was different with Eddie. Which is why he pushed just a little more. “I know that,” Buck said, holding Eddie’s gaze for another moment before he dropped his eyes to Eddie’s lap and leaned against him. “But you can torment me if you want.”

aka Eddie is all twisted up inside about what to do with Shannon. Buck offers himself up for some much needed holiday stress relief.

Hearts on the Homefront

Written by: @bryc-dlls-hwrd /mandywritesfanfiction

When Army Ranger Owen Grady was injured during his fourth tour in Afghanistan, he swore he’d never return to the soil that so badly betrayed him, but after six months in an intense physical rehab program out of an Army Hospital located in the heart of Germany, he couldn’t stand the thought of continuing to live on base when he no longer considered himself military.

Veterinarian and kennel owner Claire Dearing has always been taken care of. Whether it was when she was six years old and lost her parents in a fiery car accident, or for the years after when her older sister Karen kept her on the straight and narrow, now it’s Claire’s turn to be the rock. Left vulnerable after a marriage that ended in divorce, she isn’t sure she’ll ever be the person she once was, but counts on her best friend Lowery Cruthers to help keep her head above water.

Owen finds himself on Lowery’s doorstep just days after being released to fly back to the states, but is given strict orders; he can stay with Lowery, just as long as he doesn’t get involved with Claire. Will two people with scars deep enough to tell a story find comfort in one another? Or will they leave their hearts on the home-front in attempt of covering their pasts?
