CHAPTER 56
Thomas was only gone for a minute before he came back into the dark room. "Der's sleeping. He must've passed out right after you left. I'll talk to him in the morning."
I nodded a little too fast as I held back another sob. I had no right to cry since I'd caused this. I needed to try and make things right with Thomas.Wiping my cheeks, I stood. "I'm sorry. For everything."The emptiness in his expression broke my heart. Thomas walked to the window and moved the curtains aside, scouring the darkness. "Okay."Okay? What did that mean?"Is that all you have to say?" I needed to know if he wanted me to leave or stay. Yeah, I screwed everything up, but I didn't know if I was allowed to sleep here or if I needed to find a new room."Yep." Thomas didn't even make an effort to look at me.A new tear ran down my cheek. "I want to be with you, Thomas. I love you. What do you want me to do? I'll do anything."Thomas suddenly stalked toward me as his eyebRelated chapters

Thomas POVMy gaze skimmed up her slender neck and over her crazy hair. It was pulled up and messy as hell, but damn, she was sexy as fuck this morning, and that wasn't exactly a good thing."Did you hear me?" Piss Licker whispered.Exhaling through my nose, I tried to remember what he'd said, but damn, she'd been all I could focus on since she walked into the barn to help us.Glancing over at Piss Licker's smirk, I finally answered. "No. What'd you say?""I said we need to go back to the school soon to get the rest of our stuff.""We need to get the fence built first." My gaze slid back over to Casey.Her toned thighs grew even more defined under her jeans as she moved the boards. Loose tendrils of her red hair swayed as she stood. When she turned to retrieve more material, my eyes fell to her tiny round ass. Damn. There was never any denying that her body was created for just for me.

Suzie POV"I already said I'm sorry. You know I was having a hard time with everything." I whispered as Grant scanned the front yard."I know, but we're all having a hard time, Su." His voice was barely a whisper."I know." I waited for him to look at me, but he didn't.Grant carefully examined the tree line for biters through his scope. "Can we just not talk for a while? I'm tired and I need to check around back.""Yeah, okay." I sat back in the patio chair as Grant disappeared around the side of the wraparound porch.Since Derek's return several days ago, everything in my life had been flipped on its side, and it all started when I'd been an enormous jerk to Grant.We were allowed to have bad days, right? Well, that day had been mine and I was effing ashamed of how I acted. I was just sick of being scared all the time. When Grant and Thomas didn't come back, I'd nearly gone into hysterics,

Casey POV"So, are you gonna give me an answer or are you gonna leave me hangin' all day?" Thomas gave me a gentle hip-bump, sending tingles over my body.I wanted to return the gesture, but I managed to hold back as a small smile crept across my face. "Maybe I'll leave you hanging.""You've got to be kiddin' me. Only you would be stubborn enough to make me wait at a time like this, Sweetheart." Thomas's laughter filled the hayloft, making my heart speed up as I laughed with him.I loved his laugh. When Thomas laughed, I always knew, one way or another, everything would be okay.My hands picked up the pace as I organized a mixed box of ammo alongside Thomas. The moans coming from the zombies were freaking me out, but even as they tried to get inside the barn, the heat coming from Thomas's gaze was doing crazy good things to me.Thomas was actually talking to me today, which was better than yester

Suzie POV"There are so many. What are we gonna do?" I cradled my puppy tight to my chest, doing my best to shove the fear out of my thoughts. I'd never seen so many biters, which made it nearly impossible to keep my eyes forward.Grant glanced in the rearview mirror for the millionth time. "We'll take all the back roads and make sure they follow us far away from home. After we ditch them, we'll lay low until morning, and then we'll head back, okay?"He sounded confident in his plan, which made me feel a tiny bit better about our scary predicament. Grant's blue eyes connected with mine for the shortest moment before he lifted the middle console and motioned for me to move closer.Careful not to divert his focus from driving, I scooted over, pressing my shoulder to his firm bicep.Grant's attractive, toned body was one that all the girls loved. Over the past couple months, he'd grown taller while his m

Casey POVRelief washed over me once we spotted the Dually, but it wasn't enough to smother my anger. I knew I should be more excited to see them since the odds of finding Suzie and Grant weren't great. I was glad they were okay, but at what cost?The sun was setting, and we were in a bad spot in the middle of nowhere with a long journey ahead of us.I glared at my sister when she glanced back at us. I didn't know whether to scream in joy or anger when Grant stopped the truck in the middle of the road."Stay here. We need to find a place to stay for the night. I'm thinkin' Grant was heading for that place." Thomas pointed out a small shopping center in the distance.Yanking at my seatbelt, I couldn't seem to get it unlatched. "I'm going to strangle both of them."Thomas reached over and skimmed his hand over mine, causing me to freeze. "Believe me when I say this, Sweetheart, I wanna strangle t

Thomas POVPreparing for the worst, I clenched the tiny flashlight between my teeth as lowered myself down the air duct.Kicking away the vent cover in my way, I found a joist and got low enough to escape the air shaft. Immediately, I was overcome with the urge to gag when the horrible stench of decay hit me in the face.I was stuck inside an enclosed ceiling. This would be hard for Casey to maneuver.Holding my breath, I listened carefully. The place was silent, but I couldn't trust it. There could be anyone hiding or roaming around in another part of the building.What I didn't tell Casey was that the odds of this place being untouched were low. If I lived near a strip shopping center like this, I would've either moved in or ransacked it long ago. The security doors around the windows and entrances showed no signs of being messed or tampered with, which scared the fuck out of me and made me question
Her Deadly Revenge CHAPTER 63
Casey POVIt was official. No matter how tired I claimed to be, it was impossible to sleep on the roof of a building when I knew it was full of the infected. Even with most of my body resting on Thomas, I still couldn't seem to turn my brain off.I would've been freaking out if it wasn't for Thomas. Just listening to his steady breathing gave me more comfort than he would ever know. Somehow Thomas had fallen asleep, but I couldn't blame him. He'd barely slept in the past week.Somewhere nearby, birds began to chirp in harmony as the morning light slowly flooded into the night's sky. Grumbling in the distance warned us that rain was in our definite future.My conversation with Thomas from the night before sat at the forefront of my mind. He'd asked me to marry him. Butterflies fluttered in my belly as I thought about his hands cradling my face. I would never forget the love in his smoky gaze w
Her Deadly Revenge CHAPTER 64
Casey POVGiving up on finding gas, I buckled myself into the passenger seat and leaned my head against the window. We passed several random biters staggering aimlessly down the road as I stared into space. This country road was hopeless.As we hit the three-quarter mark toward home, I glanced at the truck's gas gauge, and it was almost empty again. This truck literally guzzled gas.Noticing my worry, the corner of Thomas's lips tipped up. "It's okay, Sweetheart. Like I said before, it's just a truck. We'll drive until it runs out and we'll come back for it someday."I grimaced and nodded. I hated the idea of leaving this truck behind. It was his, and he shouldn't have to lose anything else. Who was I kidding? It was mine too, and I damn sure didn't want to lose it.Even though the dark clouds continued to hold their ominous position, the rain slowed, softening into a sprinkle. That was when a small m
