CHAPTER 46
Thomas held my trembling body close. "I'm so damn happy you're okay, Sweetheart."
Having his strong arms around me brought me all the comfort I would ever need.Suddenly, Jordon yelled from across the room. "My hands are up!"I glanced in his direction. Someone was about to shoot Jordon. "Don't hurt him! He helped me."Thomas spun. "Let that one live."I wiped my eyes again as my vision finally cleared. There were six more people in gas masks. Who were they?Danielle wasn't with Jordon. I could only imagine she was somewhere around here fighting off the tear gas like the rest of us."What about me?" Waldo was seated beside Jordon.Jordon's eyes met with mine as he scrubbed his red eyes. "Waldo's weird and stupid, but he's not a killer, and he's never laid one finger on these girls. He's all talk."The guy in the gas mask didn't take his eyes off me as he waited for my answer."He's alright." I didn't want everyone to die. I knew WaldKaugnay na kabanata

Suzie POVMindy's face grew more red as she continued to cry. If she was anything like me, Mindy was crying because she missed our family."Shh," I whispered as she pushed away her bottle of apple juice. She'd been crying for the past hour and for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what she wanted.Even though today seemed to move slower than any other, the darkness had finally taken over the cramped space under the trailer. It wasn't exactly comfortable, but our choices were limited to this grimy area or the close quarters of the cellar. At least under the trailer, we could hear what was coming and defend ourselves."Let me see if I can calm her down, Su." Celia sent me a reassuring grin in the dim lantern light, reaching for Mindy.I didn't want to hand her over, but I didn't know what else to do. If the zombies hadn't heard Mindy yet, it was only a matter of time.As I handed Mindy over to Celia, Andrea

Easing up on the trigger, I lowered the gun. "Okay, but why did you bring him home with you? He can't live here with us, Case."Everyone was hanging on every word of our conversation.Casey glanced at the trailer, analyzing the gaping hole that Jordon and his friends created. "We're not living here anymore, Su. Now that Braxton is dead we can go back home to our house.""We?" I glared at Jordon, hoping she didn't mean this jerkface."Yeah, you, me, Grant, and Mindy." Casey acted like she hadn't just forgotten about half the group."What about everyone else?" I glanced around the group. Everyone was giving Casey strange looks."I don't know. It's up to them. Our house isn't big enough for us all, but maybe they can go back to the school. They have plenty of supplies at the school for everyone, and they even have power. I just can't go back there. I need a place to sleep, and I want to sleep in my own bed. Don't you?" Casey spoke as if this all was perfec

SuzieWith his back to us, Jordon stood at full attention, searching the perimeter of the area for any unwanted zombie trespassers.Every time I glanced in Jordon's direction, I noticed he was moving closer to Casey.Danielle was still shouting about how Andrea deserved to die for what she'd done."Why does Casey think you're getting back with Danielle?" I kept my gaze fixed on Thomas. I had to know what happened before I could help them fix this."Just so we're clear, I'm not getting back with Danielle, Squirt." Thomas glanced around the yard, making sure we were still safe. Making his way to his truck, Thomas lowered the tailgate. "Grant, get Piss Licker and start loading everything we have inside the Dually and my truck. Keep your eyes peeled. I know we're attracting a lot of attention, and the dead don't sleep.""I know you guys aren't getting back together, but Casey thinks you are." My hand landed on my

CaseyWith the stars shining bright in the darkness and the shadows of trees gliding past the window, I did my best to ignore Thomas.The heat of his smoky gaze through the rearview mirror was turning my heart inside out. I wish he would stop looking at me like that. It was making everything I had to do so much harder.I knew Danielle needed him. God knows what she went through in that school. Even though it was seemingly impossible, pushing him away was my only solution because I couldn't witness him taking care of Danielle every day. It would kill me.Thomas obviously wanted to talk, but I just didn't have the energy to discuss anything right now. I could only hope that giving him the silent treatment would do the trick. With Mindy sleeping soundly in my arms, I did my best to look anywhere but at Thomas.I lazily watched the trees rush past the window. It was rather hypnotic."Are you ever gon

"Fifteen to Fourteen. I win!" I cried out in victory as Thomas signaled to the vehicles with his flashlight."No, that last one was both of us. We're tied." He didn't take his gaze off the trucks until they turned down the long dirt drive.The trucks were covered with zombie entrails, but like Jordon's white car the windows were still intact and in working order.I opened my mouth in mock frustration. "That's not fair. I took out its legs. That should be enough. He wasn't going anywhere with just his arms."Thomas's brow crinkled slightly as his smoky gaze drifted slowly over my face. "I'll give it to you this time, but only because I wanna kiss you so fuckin' bad.""I don't want a pity win. I won fair and square." Folding my arms, I pushed my lip out in a mock pout knowing what he would do.Thomas tilted his head back, studying my mouth from under his thick lashes as he ran his tongue over his bottom lip. "You better pull that lip back in before I lick

Birds chirping in the distance filled the room as his muscular arms tugged me against his firm chest. Thomas held me the same way as we fell asleep the night before. My head rested on one of his arms, and his other arm was draped around my back. We hadn't moved an inch.Since my clothes were ruined, Thomas offered to let me wear his shirt for the night. It smelled just like him, and I don't know how, but even his sweat smelled good. I loved being encompassed by his scent. It made me feel safer than ever.So yeah, I was only wearing his shirt and my underwear. Sleeping alone together for the first time, Thomas opted to sleep in only his boxers, which was something he never did before, but I wasn't complaining. He was sexy as hell.Last night ended rather quickly as everyone experienced a massive nose dive in energy. We all needed sleep since we hadn't had a decent night's sleep in days. We hurried to choose our rooms and remove all the linens.We were exhausted, b

"What's that delicious smell?" Grant's low voice traveled into the kitchen from the entryway, causing my stiff muscles to relax.Setting down the ladle, I rushed to grab Mindy out of her playpen as I made my way toward the front of the house.Footsteps pounded above me as Suzie and Celia appeared. Relief was written all over their faces.It'd been over twelve hours since the guys left, and it was well past dark. We'd set candles and lanterns up around the dark house, keeping a portion of the central area lit while we waited."Where the hell have you guys been? We've been worried sick." I watched the three of them trudge inside, fatigued and filthy."I told you they'd be pissed, man." Matt tried to walk past me into the kitchen.I stepped in front of him, blocking his path as I shook my head. "Uh uh. I just scrubbed that kitchen, and none of you are going in there looking like that. Go change and get cleaned up. Dinner's almost ready.""Are you kidd
Her Deadly Revenge CHAPTER 54
Lifting Mindy into my arms, I moved toward the stairs. Celia was right. There could be killers standing outside.If we'd learned anything in the past couple of months, it was that the world was filled with awful people who would do anything to get what they wanted.As I carried Mindy up the stairs, they pounded on the door again."Dada." Mindy struggled in my arms, reaching for Thomas.Shushing Mindy, I half-heartedly bounced her as I glanced back to find Thomas's wide eyes on us.Thomas covered his lips with one finger, instructing everyone to stay quiet.When I finally made it all the way upstairs, I whispered, "I'm up."Grant rushed past me to get down the stairs as Celia ran into her room with the puppy.Opening the door to my room, I discovered Suzie sitting on my bed, sobbing. Grant had come from a different room so I could only assume she never apologized, and I didn't have time to worry about it."Su, take Mindy. Someone's here."
