Michelle Houston

Born to ride on the back of dragons, to journey among the stars in a ship traveling faster than light, or to dance the night away in the arms of a mysterious vampire, Michelle Houston willingly shares the worlds in her mind in an effort to bring them to life. Writing everything from short and sweet stories, to hot and spicy tales of kink, from contemporary tales of romance to erotic romances featuring Greek Gods, vampires and were-creatures, she has crossed sexualities and has gone wherever her mental muse has guided her. A journey she has never regretted. Beyond that, she has a love of the natural world around us (except for insects, spiders, snakes, jellyfish, scorpions, and she reserves the right to add more at any time). She's married to a wonderful man who supports all her writing endeavors (even when her characters scare him just a wee bit), and is the reason she is even published at all. Her daughter is too young to know just what mommy writes, but she knows she wants to write too when she grows up, and already has a good start on it. In other words, she is an ordinary woman, with an imagination that is only held in bounds by how fast she can type.

WILLED TO LOVE

Ashley leaned back in her chair and tipped her head, subtly wiping the tears that were welling in her eyes. As various family members filed into the room and claimed seats, she made sure not to meet anyone's eyes. She wasn't wanted, and she knew it. Nervous, she twisted the simple gold band on her ring finger, waiting until the lawyer decided to finally start telling everyone what they got in the will.

The chair next to her creaked when weight settled in to it, and a firm hand clasped over hers startling her. Looking up into her soon to be ex's warm eyes, she found herself unable to look away. Her heart ached with the need to collapse in his arms and cry out her pain. His paternal grandmother had been the only person in his family that had accepted her, had made her feel welcome. Now the grand lady was dead, and she was surrounded by hostility. She could only imagine what Devon's family was thinking, wondering why she present.

In fact, Ashley was having that same thought.

She loved you, you know?

Pinching her trembling lips together, Ashley nodded. The sympathy in Devon's voice was almost her undoing. He had lost his grandmother, and here he was trying to comfort her.
