The
Journal
Gavin
and Zoe are snuggled up together on the couch in their living
room, sipping coffee on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Zoe:
I’ve seen you writing in that little notebook with the black cover
and skulls. What’s in there?
Gavin:
*A tinge of red creeps into his cheeks* Just stuff.
Zoe:
Like song ideas?
Gavin:
You could say that.
Zoe:
What else?
Gavin:
Things I want to remember.
Zoe:
Like birthdays.
Gavin:
Yeah.
Zoe:
Anniversaries.
Gavin:
Do we have an anniversary?
Zoe:
I’m sure we do somewhere.
Gavin:
First time we met in the Dreaming.
Zoe:
I don’t think that counts.
Gavin:
You know as well as I do that dream was real. It counts.
Zoe:
Too true. Back to the notebook— *Her eyes widen, and she swats his
arm* —Wait a minute. Is it a diary?
Gavin:
*Huffs* No, it’s not a bloody diary.
Zoe:
It is! I’ll bet I could sell it on Ebay for a lot of money.
*Laughs*
Gavin:
If you knew what was in it—never mind.
Zoe:
*Arches a brow* See, now you got me really interested. Come on, just
a peek? It’s not fair that you can tell what I’m thinking by
looking at my aura, but I have no idea what goes on inside your head.
Gavin:
I can’t read your mind. Emotional impressions only, and even that’s
dodgy. Up to a lot of interpretation.
Zoe:
You seem pretty skilled at it… *Hooks arms around Gavin’s
shoulders and straddles him*
Gavin:
*Grins* Lots of practice.
Zoe:
What’s my aura saying now?
Gavin:
It’s demanding I take you back to bed. It said if I don’t, severe
bodily harm will be exacted upon my person in the form of blue balls
and/or acute hypertension. This situation can only be remedied with
hot, sweaty sex. An hour’s worth, minimum.
Zoe:
That’s not what my aura said.
Gavin:
No? Let me try again… *Cups her breasts* *Kisses her neck*
Hmm…your Water is speaking to me. You want a tongue bath…from a
tall, dark, and handsome musician…
Zoe:
*Giggles* Actually, I’m kinda hungry. How about you take me out for
pizza?
Gavin:
*Frowns* You’re no fun at all.
Zoe:
Tongue bath when we get home. Followed by hot, sweaty sex. And a
reading from your diary.
Gavin:
*Drops hands* *Groans*
Zoe:
Go get dressed. *Shoves him off the couch, slaps his flannel-covered
pajama ass, and grins* I’m starving.
When
Gavin heads to the bedroom, Zoe pulls out his notebook from the side
table drawer and thumbs through it.
“20
October: Showered Zed with rose petals in bed. Still remember the way
she looked afterward—skin flushed and glistening, eyelids heavy,
hair damp, body loose and sated…my beautiful rain storm.”
Zoe’s
heart skips a beat as she remembers that night. She closes her eyes,
inhales a deep breath, and clutches his notebook to her chest. Still
Mr. Perfect. Feeling guilty, she slips the diary back into its hiding
place.
Zoe:
*Calls out* I changed my mind about the reading.
Gavin:
*Enters living room, pulling shirt over rock-hard abs* You read my
journal, didn’t you?
Zoe:
*Blushes as she sidles up to him* Okay, maybe one entry. I’m sorry.
Couldn’t resist.
Gavin:
*Hugs her against his chest* I wrote it for you.
Zoe:
*Pulls back* What?
Gavin:
I was gonna give it to you when all the pages were full. *Grins*
Anniversary present.
Zoe:
*Shakes head and melts into a puddle* You’re such a romantic.
Remind me again how I ended up with you?
Gavin:
*Shrugs* You’re incredibly lucky.
Zoe:
* Forgets about pizza, bites his lip ring, and drags him to the
bedroom* *Mumbles breathlessly* So are you.
Gavin:
That’s the bloody truth.
Just Breathe Blurb
He made a deal with the devil to save the woman he loves…
After
a terrible accident rocks the foundation of their relationship,
Australian Sentinel Gavin Cassidy and whale biologist Zoe Morgan call it
quits. Gavin can’t forgive himself for shattering her trust, and being
with the sexy rock star is killing Zoe. Literally.
But
love—and duty—are powerful motivators, and alliances are forged in the
most unlikely places. With the key to salvation locked inside the mind
of an unconscious child, Gavin must find another way to snuff out the
Fyre Elementals before millions of humans die, or make good on his deal
with the devil and lose the one he loves. Again.

Kendall Grey Bio
Word
diddler and whale warrior, Kendall was born without an off-switch
between her brain and mouth. She’s been called the “Flux Capacitor of
Twitter” and “A little package of love all wrapped up in F-word paper,”
but she’s really just a maniacal writer relaying eyewitness accounts of
the rave inside her head. She writes urban fantasy romance and dabbles
in erotica and horror on occasion. Kendall lives off a dirt road near
Atlanta, Georgia, but don’t hold that against her.

O_O I love him. Oh goodness.
I know, right! My fave couple, Gavin & Zoe being so cute. Love!
OHHH! That was so sweet! =)
Oh gosh, that was so perfect, I'm swooning!
I'm totally swooning. That's just so sweet! Gavin and Zoe are definitely one of my (many) favorite couples of all time!
They're disturbingly adorable. I will demand all future boyfriends be like Gavin. With or without the rock star gig. Definitely with the lip ring.
