Automatic

Zara could not keep her eyes off of the man across from her in the cafe. They had exchanged several looks at this point, and she was not opposed to making the first move but being mad at her boyfriend Cadmus…this guy had to make the first move. He did. It was a boost because […]

Their New Normal

“Do you ever miss Cleo?” Mathilde looked at Cadmus, and saw his jaw tense. “I know I gave you every reason not to trust me in the past, but you cannot keep asking me about Cleo.” he said, his face stern.  “You paid for her to come to Paris while we were reconciling, I think […]

You’ve Changed

You don’t trust me, was the worst thing he could have said to her. Mathilde looked at Cadmus with dark eyes, and he knew that he had said the wrong thing. When she was younger aside from him making her feel like she was desperate and clingy, every time she questioned how he felt he […]

Now

To anyone looking, they looked like a couple terribly in love all throughout Paris. Lovers in Paris—what a shocker! Mathilde knew that her expression definitely contributed to that. The way she clung to Cadmus, and the way that he held her to him. Once out of the corner of her eye, she saw a man […]

Remembrance

Mathilde sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed. The tears had cooled on her face, because she had finally stopped crying. She had even cried when they made love, which was the way that Cadmus tried to say sorry to her—with his body. Had she ever really fooled anyone at that point, as many […]

Cleo was considered a cougar in her circles, Cadmus was younger than her but nothing that would make her a cougar by any means. If anything he was the one that was more sophisticated than she was.  Relationship wise. Her job was just as substantial as his and she made a decent amount of money, […]

Engulfed

Cadmus unzipped the back of her dress, and his hand lingered at the small of her back. Mathilde felt his hand there like a wanted weight and it soothed her. He slipped the dress down over her shoulders. “What did you say to her, what happened?” she asked him because she needed to know. He […]

Lockdown

Cleo could not keep her eyes off of Mathilde. Usually it was Cadmus that had her undivided attention — if he was in the room, she could not notice anything else but Mathilde was riveting. She could see why he wanted her, and it made her hurt all the more. She was going to need […]

Foreign Places

Cadmus out of bed was even more intoxicating than he was in bed. She had memorized his scent after all of these years, sitting close beside him at the bar where he had picked her up. Again. Returning to the scene of the crime, even the jaded bartender was moved because it was obvious that […]

Hot Mess

What was it about the love of, or the lack of love from a man that turned the strongest woman into a hot mess? Cleo’s brain was on fire since Cadmus told her he wanted to be back with his long abandoned ex. Did you treat her like you treated me? she texted like a […]
