Neighbor from Hell

Pregnancy Chronicles: Chapter 8

“Are you pouting?”

“No,” Haley mumbled, knowing that she was damn well pouting and not really caring.

There was a heavy sigh and then, Jason was kneeling on the floor next to the couch, the same couch that she was now medically ordered to spend her days on until the end of this pregnancy.

“This is for the best,” Jason said softly as though she didn’t already know that.

When she didn’t say anything, mostly because she preferred to pout at the moment, he gently ran his fingertips along her jaw as he said, “This will be over before you know it,” lying… Read More

Excerpt from Misunderstood: A Neighbor from Hell YA Novel

The good news was that she probably didn’t have to worry about writing that book report anymore, Mikey thought as she took in the large man glaring down at her.

“Start talking,” Uncle Trevor said, not really looking all that happy to find her curled up in his son’s bed, which was understandable since she wasn’t exactly supposed to be here.

“I missed you?” she said with a hopeful smile only to add, “so much,” when he narrowed his eyes on her.

“What did we talk about, Mikey?” he asked, sighing heavily as he… Read More

Chapter 7 of The Pregnancy Chronicles

“You don’t look so good,” Cole said around a mouthful of pancake while Jason sat hunched over the table trying to find the will to live.

“I’m fine,” he mumbled against the cool kitchen table as he glared at the woman responsible.

“Leave your father alone,” Haley said with a sweet smile that had his eyes narrowing dangerously on the woman who hadn’t followed her own advice.

She’d…

God, he didn’t even want to think about the naughty things that she’d done to him all night. Every time she’d reached for him, he’d prayed that it was the last time, but it never… Read More

Chapter 6: The Pregnancy Chronicles

For a moment, Haley considered trying to wake Jason up again, but…

Since he’d growled the last time that she’d tried, she decided that she should probably let him sleep. Decision made, she moved to climb off the bed only to end up biting back a groan when Jason cracked one eye open so that he could glare at her.

“I have to use the bathroom,” she said, weakly gesturing towards the bathroom door as Jason’s gaze quickly flickered towards the bathroom before landing back on… Read More

Chapter 5: Pregnancy Chronicles

He’d seriously fucked up this time, Jason thought as his gaze flickered to the open bathroom door and-

Realized that it was already too late when Haley, who was now fed and no longer crying, ran her eyes lazily over him in that way that used to tell him that he’d be spending the rest of the night satisfying his pregnant wife’s needs. The only problem with that? He was already fucking tired and he had to go to work in the morning.

When she was pregnant with Cole, he could have gone all fucking night and day with her and… Read More

Chapter 5: Pregnancy Chronicles

“Are you feeling better?” came the hesitant question from the other side of the bathroom door.

“Yes,” Haley mumbled sadly only to sniffle as she hugged the large folded towel in her arms against her chest.

That was followed by releasing a shuddering breath, another sniffle, and a small, barely noticeable sob that had her biting back a groan because this was getting ridiculous. She had no idea why she was crying or how to stop it. She wasn’t upset or sad, not after she’d managed to spend the day tormenting her husband, Haley thought as a smile began to play… Read More

Chapter 3: The Pregnancy Chronicles

“He’s going to kill you,” Cole said, not really sounding all that concerned as he finished off the shepherd’s pie that she’d made earlier and reached for the chicken alfredo she’d made after she picked up the brownies.

“No, he’s not,” Haley said, pushing her glasses back up her nose as she took in all the food she’d made and bought today and couldn’t help but regret her decision not to stop at the Fire & Brimstone on the way home to grab two Bradford Specials to give it that special touch.

“You’ve been sending him pictures of all… Read More

Pregnancy Chronicles: Chapter 2

“Welcome to A.P. United States History,” Jason said as he gestured towards the whiteboard while he took in the classroom full of students visibly struggling not to panic.

Oh, this was going to be a fun year, he thought, biting back a smile as he grabbed the stack of syllabuses.

“My name is Mr. Bradford and I’ll be your teacher this year. Everything that you will need to pass my class and pass the A.P. exam is outlined in this syllabus,” Jason said as he walked across the aisles, handing a stack to the students in the front row. “My rules… Read More

Pregnancy Chronicles: Chapter 1

“No,” came the firm denial before Haley got a chance to make her case.

“Just hear me out,” she said, forced to crawl off the bed and chase after Jason when he walked into the bathroom. “What if–”

“Not happening,” the stubborn man that she loved for some reason said firmly, cutting her off as he pulled his tie around his neck.

“You don’t even know what I was going to say,” Haley pointed out with a stubborn tilt of her head as she absently reached up and pushed her glasses back up her… Read More
