Rahab stares blankly at Tae.
"What did he do? If he cheated too, then I'm telling you will no longer have his pe-"
"Hol' up fiesty." Tae chuckles while placing his hands on her shoulders. Rahab looks at him ready to fight. Everyone else chuckles a bit. Shara quietly snapping her fingers.
"He didn't cheat. As far as I know." Tae smiles and grabs one of her hands. Rahab calmed down and chuckled up at him.
"Okay. Talk to me." Rahab looks with anticipation.
Tae takes a deep breath and looks away from her for a moment. Everyone looks at them with anticipation. Tae grips Rahab's hand, not letting go.
"Booz lied to you." He whispers unintentionally.
Rahab sighed but remained calm. "How?"
Tae sighs. "He found out I liked you. Another friend of ours told him. I told him the truth after he asked, expecting he would be a real friend. He low key wanted you and didn't tell me. So, he went behind my back. Booz and I were bros until he did that. You always wondered why we weren't close and he probably made up something but it was the cause of that."
"He told you I had someone and spreading rumors about being a playboy, although none of that was true." Tae lets go of Rahab's hand, tracing his fingers through his hair frustrated and looking up. "I didn't know he did that until later when everyone started to tell me but it was too late."
Tae looks back at her and was trying to read her unreadable expression. All the girls got up including Taylor and walked closer to her, hoping she won't pop off.
One thing Rahab doesn't play about is lies. Rahab cut off game is quick if you lie to her. When she gave you a second chance, lying again is not an option, especially constantly. No one's perfect though and Rahab understands that.
The boys get up and walker closer to Tae with caution, still eyeing both of them. Shara standing near the curtain stiffens, wondering what she is going to say.
Rahab continues staring at Tae. She slowly gazes down and sighs. She turns her head seeing her sisters next to her then looks at Tae.
Tae liked me?
That's what was running in her mind. It's not like she is not caring about the situation at hand. Nonetheless, Tae confessed his feelings.
He confessed.
He handed over all of his emotions, hoping she would treat them kindly. In addition, how she is going to handle this. She knows Tae wouldn't lie to her. He never gave her a reason to not believe him. Yet, finding out her husband lied for a long time takes Rahab on an emotional ride in her already messed up hamster wheel, which is her mind.
"You liked me?" she pushes out the question, still taking it in.
Tae looks into her eyes, seeing hope glistening through. He gulps. "Yes, I did like you."

"And..."
Rahab nods her head slowly, patting her hair. Everyone continues to look. She thinks on Tae words, how adoring they are. So lovely and delicate, knowing that vulnerability is not easy for him. She cherished his words knowing that she cares so much about him. She treats his emotions kindly.
"Booz and I are going to have to talk about this. Although this was long ago, the foundation of our relationship started there. It started with... a lie. I can't continue a relationship with lies and I can't lose you in the process. If Booz lied about this, what else did he lie about?" Rahab clenches her teeth, then put her arms around Tae's neck as he grabs her waist.
"I'm so sorry Tae."
Tae smiles. "It's okay my firecracker. This doesn't have to change anything about us. I needed to tell you the truth though. I moved on and forgave Booz. I hope he is better than he was and he is treating you better now. If not, he can catch these hands any day."
Rahab smiles wide and blushes a bit. "Thank you, Tae. I cherish your feelings and everything you said."
Tae kisses her forehead softly as Rahab closes her eyes, sulking his lips. Tae quickly pulls away from her gradually as she looks at him smiling. The girls held onto Rahab as she sat back down and the guys sit closer to the girls. Tae lays his head on Rahab's leg, Namjoon sits between Ruth and Rebecca. Jin sits on Esther's chair, hiking Esther. Jungkook sits next to Leah awkwardly, Jimin sits on the floor near Eve, and Yoongi sits with Taylor. Shara sits in the end near Jin.
Hobi and Hannah sit next to each other. They look at each other and laugh. They tease everyone because they don't have any issues. Everyone playfully mocks them.
Everyone starts talking catch up on family and life. Esther introduces everyone to Taylor, realizing she hasn't introduced her. Everyone already knew Shara. Taylor smiles and eagerly says hello as everyone says it back.
Yoongi resumes to glare at Taylor when everyone continued to talk. She consciously turns her body away from Yoongi. She doesn't understand why she reacted to him the way she did.
"Taylor?" Yoongi says in a low tone.
Taylor tenses up not realizing how deep his voice really was. She breathes then looks at him. "Yes?"
Yoongi looks at her up and down and Taylor tries to hold her blush.
"T-Thank..you." Taylor smiles a bit, feeling a surge of nerves and shortness of breath.
Why does he do this to me? Like...
Yoongi slowly traces her arms as she starts getting goosebumps.
"Did it get hot in here or is it just me?" Taylor mentally fanned herself.
Yoongi slowly traces his fingers back away from her. "Really?" Taylor surprised, still feeling hot. Yoongi crimps his brows a bit. "Yes. Why are you surprised?"

Taylor huffs a bit. She never felt like she was wanted so it's shocking that this undeniably handsome man wants her. "I never- never mind." Shutting her words quickly.
Yoongi smirks a bit. "Get used to feeling wanted Taylor. If you allow me to get to know you, I will show you what wanted looks and feels like. Just say the word, gorgeous." Yoongi bites his lip at her, as his eyes trace all over her, stopping at her big lips.
Taylor felt heat rushing through her. At this point, somebody needs to get a fire hose to cool her down. Now blushing uncontrollably, she covers her mouth. Yoongi chuckles. Taylor uncovers her mouth and looks down smiling. Yoongi lifts her chin up, anticipating her response.
Taylor unknowingly blurts out. "Yes, I would love to get to know you. All of you." Realizing what she says she quickly covers her mouth again. Yoongi laughs and takes her hands from her mouth and holds her hands. "It would be my pleasure to show you all of me beautiful."
Taylor smiles wide gazing at him as he gazes back. Namjoon peeks at them and chuckles tapping Tae who is still laying on Rahab's leg. He looks at Namjoon as he sees him pointing. He looks to where Namjoon is pointing to and see Yoongi. Tae notices how Yoongi and Taylor gazing at each other.
"OKAY YOONGI!" Tae loudly blisses.
Everyone instantly looks over at Yoongi and Taylor. They yelled out awe as Yoongi and Taylor blush in embarrassment.
Yoongi goes over to Tae and plays fight with him. When Namjoon's play fought with Yoongi, Tae helped him. Jimin got up to help as all the boys started to play fight. The girls started throwing pillows at them as they ran after the girls play fighting with them.
Taylor ran near Shara as they both laughed at them. Shara was rooting for Jin as Taylor quickly rooted for the girls.
Soon, everyone was on the floor laughing. While helping each other up, Jin held his head feeling guilty. He didn't get over what his wife said and it hurts to know she was struggling with this alone.
Alone.
Alone.
ALONE.
Esther, trying to help Jin up, caught his expression. She looked at him, concerned and disturbed. Shara caught on that Jin was upset and ran over to him, offering to help him up. Jin allowed both the girls to help him up. Esther guided him back in the chair.
"What's wrong baby?" Esther worried about Jin.
"Do you need anything?" Shara quickly saying worried as well. Taylor walked near Jin, staring at Shara with annoyance then looked at Jin hoping he will be okay.
Everyone looked over at Jin as the boys got worried. "You alright bro?" Hobi asks. The girls look at him wondering what's wrong as the girls also glanced at Shara, watching her.
"I feel so guilty," Jin says brushing through his hair while slouching on the chair.
"Why babe?" Esther softly utters, sitting in between his legs.
"I wasn't there for you when you needed me most. Everything you said should have been said to me. The thing is I been so busy that I neglected you without realizing it." Jin touches her hair softly as Esther continues to listen. Shara gapes at Esther, trying to not show her frustration.
"Esther, my love, I deeply apologize for everything in me for not being there for you as I should have. I will make it up to you as I told you. And I will keep that promise."
Esther smiles trying to hold back her tears as Jin tears up a bit. "Babe I forgive you. I truly missed you but I wasn't alone. I had God. He was there for me."
Jin smiles widen as he grabs both her hands. "I'm so glad He was there. God was there for both of us. I love you, baby."
"Always?"
Jin chuckles as he kisses one of her hands then rubs on her arms. "Always my Queen."
Esther blushes and kisses him. "I love you too my King."
Jin kisses her passionately as everyone cheers for them.
"Get a room."
Jin and Esther pull away, laughing at one of the boys who said that.
Shara gets heated.
She can't take Jin loving on Esther and she can't take Esther having him.
Not anymore.
"Now let me call my servants," Jin says loudly. But by that time, it's heard as an echo as Shara walks out of the room angry. Shara goes into the kitchen and yells but nothing comes out. The walls were closing in, no matter how spacious this area and house was. It's almost at it was darker than coal itself.
After all of their conversations, after all of her confessions, after opening herself up to someone, after all of that...he. still. chose. her.
Share doesn't open up to anyone the way she opened up to Jin. Her own family doesn't know what Jin knows about her. Her family doesn't know the secrets she bared in high school, a party that went too far, and the day she flattened tires from a guy's car. It was hard for her to even do that. That's how she knew her love for this.....this fool was real. But this is what he does.
She can't take this. She loves Jin and will do anything for him.
Why does he subject himself to her? Why will he always love her? I-I...
No it's you Esther.
It's always you.
You
Are
In
My
Way
constantly played through her head. Her mind is losing control. All of sudden, Shara's expression becomes dark and devious. She wants it to be her.
You know what...it will be her.
She didn't want to do this.
She didn't want to take this route.

The Stars Have Eyes
The universe was a vast, empty, dark, and uncaring place. Then life happened, and the universe was changed forever. Only a teeny-tiny bit, but definitely different. Then again, the universe changes a teeny-tiny bit every second of every day. For instance, if someone were to get off the couch and randomly drink a glass of milk? Bam! One less glass of milk in the universe. Changed forever. Well, excluding any time-travel shenanigans, but anyone who puts a big old hole in the time-space continuum just to un-drink a glass of milk should really reevaluate their priorities. Unless, of course, they were attempting to prevent some massive catastrophe vis-a-vis said glass of milk. Such a scenario is by no means impossible, as one should never underestimate the importance of calcium. Another important tip for any life forms out there is to keep things in perspective. Some look at the vastness of creation in relation to themselves and go, ‘Man, this sucks!’ These people really need to narrow their focus. Sure, they will never affect anything happening on the other end of the galaxy, but so what? That’s way the heck over there, where it doesn’t matter. Therefore, in order to maintain a healthy mindset, it is important to narrow one’s perspective to the things and people that affect them, and that they can affect in turn. But what happens if one is an unfathomable cosmic being from beyond the veil of reality? What happens when such an existence is capable of influencing entire swathes of the universe just by its presence? A creature such as Magh'rathlak the Observer? That particular entity is only about average as far as reality-warping creatures from the dawn of time go, so its influence over the fabric of reality is rather limited. And it still struggles to keep things in perspective. That, among other things, is why it decided to narrow its worldview a bit by compressing the maddening vastness of its being into a single corporeal form. Magh'rathlak had never tried such a feat, but that wasn't about to stop it. After all, how hard could being human possibly be?

8 206Blind As a Bat [1st book complete]
Book 1 He was cast to the edges of his clan. His father could not stand to even look at him. His baby sister probably didn't even know he was her brother... All because he, unlike all other vampire (The correct terminology will be Wanpyrkos; van-peer-coe-s) kind, was born blind. And what do all creatures do to those that are different, those that do not fit society, those that they think should not have been born to this civilized society...? [Book Cover Made by the wonderful THEMIDNIGHTECLIPSE13] - thank you! I'm only introducing the perspective of the main character for the first part. Things change drastically soon after that. [BDSM entries are clearly marked and written so they can be skipped without affecting the story] ***A couple scenes to whet your palate*** 1. "Uh, we heal from pretty much everything and anything. Have you ever tried physically damaging your eyes to see if they would fully heal?" "N-no. No, it doesn't work," I forced out, my voice a little strangled and cracking before hardening. "And stuff like that, isn't that just wrong?! Hurting someone just to 'fix' them." 2. I leaned and he met me, our soft lips touching and moving perfectly on each other's. I felt as his tongue ran the slit of my lips, my tongue coming to graze it as it passed over, knowing doing so was like catnip to him. He leaned closer, and I shivered as his hands ran from low on my hips and grazed along and up my ribs, pulling my chest closer to his so my body arched and rubbed against him. I hummed in appreciation. [warning: so far aggressive or physical bullying and maybe a little kidnappage and sexual themes as well as possible trigger warnings]
