"Most people who aren't you appreciate my fiery attitude, Ethan. Although I can't say I'm opposed to the idea of proving to your parents that a civilian can make something of themselves in this life. I think I can handle your parents being blunt, I mean I've been dealing with our gloves off...

What a tease, Dallas thought as his hands roamed her body without the slightest hesitation and yet somehow she was left wanting so much more. "I worked my perky little butt off for this body, so it better be impressive." With a wink she slipped out from his grasp long enough to grab the black...

Dallas followed his gaze out the window mesmerized by the sight of the city blanketed with snow, she had always loved the way everything seemed to sparkle in the lamp light. Sighing contentedly she leaned back against the dresser watching Ethan as he took in the cityscape. "Mm, I'm so done with...

Two weeks in an infirmary had been infuriating for Dallas and despite the reprieve from Cho's prying eyes, she still despised that the building was beginning to feel like her home. During her recovery period she had only tried to leave before being discharged officially by Lady Kestral, finding...

Twenty... Dallas finished mentally as the last crack of the whip echoed over the courtyard, her defiance by denial of screaming out had been the only thing holding her together and once it was over relief washed over her momentarily. Of course Cho had planned to prolong her suffering, how could...

- - The next morning The morning light was slowly creeping through the windows and shining with an unpleasing ferocity onto Dallas' face, rousing her from a blissfully dreamless sleep. Eyes fluttering open she took in the vaguely unfamiliar surroundings and at first was confused but...

For the hundredth or so time since being rescued by him Ethan took Dallas by surprise, first with his words and then again by his actions. The distance between them closed for a few moments and she was thankfully lost in the sensation of his kiss. When he pulled away ever so slightly she felt...

After finishing her glass she accepted Ethan's offer of the rest, the effects of the single drink were starting to hit her. It occurred to her that she hadn't eaten at all. It may have been unwise but honestly she couldn't be bothered to care, likely she was going to end up severely punished in...

Dallas didn't argue as Ethan lead her into his apartment she was too tired and the ache in her chest seemed to lessen slightly when she wasn't alone. Taking a seat she watched as he poured out a glass of wine for her and she took it gratefully, resisting the urge to down the thing in one go. At...

Dallas caught the keys and desperately wanted to kiss him in that moment, to run her hands through his hair, to feel safe in his arms. It was such a strangely endearing gesture and it made her chest tight to think of just how much Ethan was doing for her. "I.. Thank you. I'll be safe. See you...

Dallas could the memories and guilt flash through Ethan's eyes and she wondered how often he had to face those demons. It was enough for a very short instance to take some of her own pain away but it slowly came flooding back. Although some of the emotion flooded her because of the kindness he...

Dallas managed to hold herself together through the debriefing although she was beginning to run ragged by the end. The thought of someone tailing her all the time made her extremely uneasy, especially with the way Cho's eyes fixated on her. It chilled her to the bone, some sort of underhanded...

Once she was freed from the weight of the dead hound Dallas was on her feet as quickly as she had been knocked down. When she had planned her first mission in her head, she always assumed if she was faced with possible death it would cause her to break down or pause. Instead the squire felt more...

It had been a slightly more eventful two months for Dallas. The first couple of days back had been stressful as she had planned for the worst to happen, but as more time passed her fears calmed and she settled into a routine. With the distinct lack of presence of Ethan's superiors she found...

Dallas bit back a displeased whimper as Ethan finally pulled away for good leaving her skin on fire and her head dizzy. Obviously she knew wanting more was a bad idea, but she couldn't help herself. Watching him walk back towards his vehicle, she let out a sigh before hopping down from the hood...

Dallas could have gotten lost in this moment for the entire night, tangled up in the sensation of the hands woven in her hair and the lips pressed to hers. She was grateful on her decision to wear jeans as opposed to shorts, despite the heat between her and Ethan the garage and the metal of her...

Once Dallas was reclining back into the familiar leather seat of her car and was sure that Ethan was following her, she let her mind wander. It was a thirty minute drive back to the garage and she wasn't thrilled that this night was coming to a close. Maybe Ethan was right and in a way she felt...
