The Dark Side of the Moon

Fate. What a bitch. You can't expect Melissa Turner to love a man unwilling. You can't expect Gregory Raine to want to settle down with one woman when he can have them all if he was to dare to. But, no, you have to expect those things whenever Melissa learns of a world beyond the erotica and romance novels she always reads. You have to expect that she was going to be drawn to, what she likes to call, a sorry excuse of a 'human being'. You have to expect that when Greg feels drawn to a woman he never even looked at if it wasn't for her body. You have to expect that when Gregory starts to feel like he wants to kill someone when Melissa is hurt. Yeah. Fate. What. A. Bitch. ... (Excerpt) Stepping into the room, she could see this shadowy figure with his arms chained to the wall behind his bed. He looked god-like with his long, flowing, half-black, and half-silver hair and kaleidoscope green eyes. She recognized those eyes to be the same ones that belonged to the guy that caused her to blackout. 'Who exactly are you?' she thought as she stepped up to the foot of the figure's bed. "Yours." It took her a split second to register what he said and she blushed. "Do you want me to be?" she asked, sitting down on the edge and facing him. "Now, that depends on what you mean. Do I want to be your mate? No, not really. Never wanted one. Do I want no one else to warm your bed, to hold you when you cry, to make you laugh from their stupidity, to make you scream louder than an angry banshee, to hear you curse worse than Gordon Ramsey on a bad day, or to see you smile at a little version of you? Most definitely. But not willingly." She blushed even harder at this. "What I do want someone to do those things other than you?" "Then let's hope my Dad has enough contacts to make sure that I don't end up in jail for murder. You would do the same if you were in my shoes." "No, I wouldn't-"'Yeah, I would,' her voice echoed through the area they were in. 'I would want to rip that bitch's head off.' "There was no use hiding that while you're here. You would have to tell the truth or it tells it for you," he said, blowing at the smoke that collected around his head. The way he did it made her immediately think that he should be in a boy band. "Where exactly is here?" she asked, looking around. The wall that was behind his bed faded in a leafy forest and the chains were connected to nothing yet he was still stuck in place. "You can feel it, too. It's almost like I'm in my room and in the woods behind the school that I go to at the same time. Almost like... we've been here before," he said, tilting his head to the side as if he was listening to something. ... That was a small snippet of my favorite chapter. Hope you enjoy the story!!!!!!

Chapter One

{Gregory's POV}

"Werewolves and vampires have been known throughout history to exist, even if they have only existed in books, movies, TV shows, and the occasional tale of a sighting of one. I am sure that I have never seen one and hope that I don't encounter one. " 'Liar.' "Your assignment for today is to write a short narrative story about a real or made-up encounter with a werewolf or vampire. I expect the assignment by Thursday. Thank you guys for showing up to class today. Have a nice one," the instructor concluded as the bell sounded out, telling them it was time for them to go home.

Groans of boredom could be heard as the students poured out from classrooms and trekked slowly out of the school into the yard. It was so hot during that afternoon, some people had stripped almost completely naked and some had poured their water bottles over their heads. Gregory looked around for the group of girls that would do anything he asked, regardless of the task. 'Bingo', Gregory thought as he stalked up to a group of girls that were just in sports bras and little shorts. Sweat dripped down their bodies and Gregory could smell the sweet scent drifting lazily toward him.

"Hello, ladies," he said, sugar dripping out of the words from his mouth. They giggled and a few unconsciously stuck their chests out a little further. 'Perfect', he thought as he slid in between two of them. 'Makayla and Gilly, Tessa and Rachaelle, Frankie and Blue-Ivy. I have already done them, so I just have to get Beth and Lisa. You know, why not both', he thought in a split second as he glanced at all of them. "Which one of you ladies wants to cool down in my air-conditioned room as we do something that... might make you warm up a little?" he asked, smelling the blood rise in their faces as they looked between themselves. "How about you, Beth?"

"No! I want to!" Lisa said, pouting that he went directly over her.

Smiling, he quietly said, "I have an even better idea. Why not you both? I know how to multitask in many... different ways and... different positions." He seductively whispered the last part and the blood smell was a bit stronger as Beth became as red as a tomato.

"As fun as that probably sounds, " Frankie started, "Bethany has a boyfriend."

"When has that ever stopped me?" he grinned, placing an arm around.

"Never, but it is best to say that if you guys fight, you might not make it out alive," Rachelle said, getting up and stretching all while giving Gregory a good view of her exposed cleavage. "You may be arrogant of the shit you can back up, but he is ignorant. They tend to be stubborn enough to the point where you give up and they win."

"Oh, that is where you forget something very important: I am as stubborn as a mule on a hot July afternoon. Or a Taurus, if you want to simplify that statement. I don't give up easily. If I want something, I just take it. Speaking of which, I never got my full answer on whether or not Beth wanted to join Lisa and me in a fun game of, what I like to call, The Threeway Street." Blood rose again in Beth's face as she contemplated whether or not she should take that risk of cheating on her boyfriend with a guy she knows is not going to do it with her more than twice. Evidently, this was a one-time offer of him asking nicely so she agreed. "Good. See you ladies later," he said, getting up and giving Beth and Lisa both a small peck on their foreheads before walking out to his car. Waving and smiling, he started his car and backed out, turning and going down to the highway.
