Luffs (Transcendence 1.5)

“How are you going to feel when the three of us are all talking, but you can’t?” I touch the side of Ehd’s face. The thought makes me sad. “Maybe since you don’t understand any of it, you don’t really mind. You don’t know what you’re missing. Still, I feel bad for you.”

I lean against my caveman, and the babies reach for each other’s hands as they squirm in our laps. The fire warms the small cave, making it perfectly cozy despite the temperature outside. I can smell the stew cooking and the pine needles on the tree.

Recalling similar smells from my past causes a brief pang in my heart but doesn’t detract from the love and warmth I feel here and now with my family. I never could have predicted myself in this setting, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Ehd wraps his arm around my waist and holds me close. I turn to look at him, and he runs his nose along the bridge of mine.

“We are going to have a long and happy life together, Ehd,” I say softly. “I already know how this story ends, but it’s really all about the journey, isn’t it? It’s about you and me together.”

“Luffs!” Ehd nuzzles my neck.

“I love you too.” I snicker and turn my head to capture his lips with mine.

When I was in my own time, I never could have imagined a life like this. Now I can’t imagine existing any other way. Just me and my caveman and our children together here in this cave. We have our family and our love.

Or as Ehd would say, “Luffs!”

~~THE END~~

Author’s End Note

Thank you all for taking the time to read Luffs! I really never thought I’d write any of this, but I had fun revisiting these characters. I hope this answers a few questions readers might have had when reading Transcendence and that everyone enjoyed this little journey into Beh’s head!

Ehd and Beh will always hold a special place in my heart, and I hope they do for you too!

Now, onto the next project!

Evan Arden Series:

Otherwise Alone

Former Marine Lieutenant Evan Arden sits in a shack in the middle of nowhere, waiting for orders that will send him back home—if he ever gets them. Other than his loyal Great Pyrenees, there's no one around to break up the monotony. The heat is unbearable, but he makes do with the little he has. He’s accustomed to harsh conditions and simply exists as best he can. The tedium is excruciating, but it is suddenly interrupted when a young woman stumbles up his path.

She’s lost; she’s cute, and he can’t resist the temptation of luring her into his bed. Why not? It’s been ages, and he is Otherwise Alone.

Otherwise Occupied

Evan Arden is a hit man for a Chicago mob boss and moves through life with darkness in his soul and a gun in his hand. Those who know him for what he is fear him, and those who find out the hard way never get a chance to tell anyone else. The few people who get a glimpse inside his head wish they never had. A merciless killer, his only loyalty resides with his employer, the man who calls the shots that rain from Evan’s weapon.

As a POW of the Gulf War, Evan spent months in captivity, and the memories of his confinement combine with thoughts of the woman he left in Arizona. He lives his life day-to-day with little more than the company of his dog, Odin. As insomnia overtakes him, he seeks comfort from an unlikely source, but will confiding in her be his undoing?

He’s struggling to forget his past and to keep himself Otherwise Occupied.

Otherwise Unharmed

After Evan Arden was imprisoned by the enemy for a year and a half, he returned from the desert as a military hero. He’d suffered some minor injuries during his captivity, was discharged from the Marines with a touch of shellshock, but was considered otherwise unharmed. Now he wonders how he ended up where he is—incarcerated in Chicago’s Metropolitan Correctional Center for using his sharpshooting expertise to take out the neighborhood park with a high-powered sniper rifle and multiple rounds of ammunition.

Lia Antonio, the woman he rescued from the desert heat the previous year, is the only person who can bring him out of his sleep-deprived psychosis and mounting PTSD. When she does, Evan knows he can’t just let her go again. He’s never considered leaving the business before—who retires from the mafia?—but he’s determined to get both Lia and himself out of harm’s way.

Evan faces overwhelming forces from multiple directions as a deal to get him out of jail turns more dangerous than he imagined. With a mob war on the horizon and the feds holding evidence over his head, Evan has no choice but to throw himself into the middle of another warzone.

In his efforts to make things right, Evan crosses the wrong man and finds himself on the business end of the crosshairs. With his acute perception and intelligence, he tries to stay a step ah

ead of his former co-workers, but this time, it isn’t just his own life on the line—he’s got to protect Lia from the man who once called him son.
