The Powers Conferred by the Constitution Further Considered
From the New York Packet.
Tuesday, January 22, 1788.
Author: James Madison
To the People of the State of New York:
THE SECOND class of powers, lodged in the general government, consists of those which regulate the intercourse with foreign nations, to wit: to make treaties; to send and receive ambassadors, other public ministers, and consuls; to define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offenses against the law of nations; to regulate foreign commerce, including a power to prohibit, after the year 1808, the importation of slaves, and to lay an intermediate duty of ten dollars per head, as a discouragement to such importations. This class of powers forms an obvious and essential branch of the federal administration. If we are to be one nation in any respect, it clearly ought to be in respect to other nations.
The powers to make treaties and to send and receive ambassadors, speak their own propriety. Both of them are comprised in the articles of Confederation, with this difference only, that the former is disembarrassed, by the plan of the convention, of an exception, under which treaties might be substantially frustrated by regulations of the States; and that a power of appointing and receiving "other public ministers and consuls," is expressly and very properly added to the former provision concerning ambassadors. The term ambassador, if taken strictly, as seems to be required by the second of the articles of Confederation, comprehends the highest grade only of public ministers, and excludes the grades which the United States will be most likely to prefer, where foreign embassies may be necessary. And under no latitude of construction will the term comprehend consuls.
Yet it has been found expedient, and has been the practice of Congress, to employ the inferior grades of public ministers, and to send and receive consuls. It is true, that where treaties of commerce stipulate for the mutual appointment of consuls, whose functions are connected with commerce, the admission of foreign consuls may fall within the power of making commercial treaties; and that where no such treaties exist, the mission of American consuls into foreign countries may PERHAPS be covered under the authority, given by the ninth article of the Confederation, to appoint all such civil officers as may be necessary for managing the general affairs of the United States. But the admission of consuls into the United States, where no previous treaty has stipulated it, seems to have been nowhere provided for. A supply of the omission is one of the lesser instances in which the convention have improved on the model before them. But the most minute provisions become important when they tend to obviate the necessity or the pretext for gradual and unobserved usurpations of power.
A list of the cases in which Congress have been betrayed, or forced by the defects of the Confederation, into violations of their chartered authorities, would not a little surprise those who have paid no attention to the subject; and would be no inconsiderable argument in favor of the new Constitution, which seems to have provided no less studiously for the lesser, than the more obvious and striking defects of the old. The power to define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offenses against the law of nations, belongs with equal propriety to the general government, and is a still greater improvement on the articles of Confederation. These articles contain no provision for the case of offenses against the law of nations; and consequently leave it in the power of any indiscreet member to embroil the Confederacy with foreign nations. The provision of the federal articles on the subject of piracies and felonies extends no further than to the establishment of courts for the trial of these offenses. The definition of piracies might, perhaps, without inconveniency, be left to the law of nations; though a legislative definition of them is found in most municipal codes.
A definition of felonies on the high seas is evidently requisite. Felony is a term of loose signification, even in the common law of England; and of various import in the statute law of that kingdom. But neither the common nor the statute law of that, or of any other nation, ought to be a standard for the proceedings of this, unless previously made its own by legislative adoption. The meaning of the term, as defined in the codes of the several States, would be as impracticable as the former would be a dishonorable and illegitimate guide. It is not precisely the same in any two of the States; and varies in each with every revision of its criminal laws. For the sake of certainty and uniformity, therefore, the power of defining felonies in this case was in every respect necessary and proper.
The regulation of foreign commerce, having fallen within several views which have been taken of this subject, has been too fully discussed to need additional proofs here of its being properly submitted to the federal administration. It were doubtless to be wished, that the power of prohibiting the importation of slaves had not been postponed until the year 1808, or rather that it had been suffered to have immediate operation. But it is not difficult to account, either for this restriction on the general government, or for the manner in which the whole clause is expressed. It ought to be considered as a great point gained in favor of humanity, that a period of twenty years may terminate forever, within these States, a traffic which has so long and so loudly upbraided the barbarism of modern policy; that within that period, it will receive a considerable discouragement from the federal government, and may be totally abolished, by a concurrence of the few States which continue the unnatural traffic, in the prohibitory example which has been given by so great a majority of the Union. Happy would it be for the unfortunate Africans, if an equal prospect lay before them of being redeemed from the oppressions of their European brethren!
Attempts have been made to pervert this clause into an objection against the Constitution, by representing it on one side as a criminal toleration of an illicit practice, and on another as calculated to prevent voluntary and beneficial emigrations from Europe to America. I mention these misconstructions, not with a view to give them an answer, for they deserve none, but as specimens of the manner and spirit in which some have thought fit to conduct their opposition to the proposed government. The powers included in the THIRD class are those which provide for the harmony and proper intercourse among the States. Under this head might be included the particular restraints imposed on the authority of the States, and certain powers of the judicial department; but the former are reserved for a distinct class, and the latter will be particularly examined when we arrive at the structure and organization of the government. I shall confine myself to a cursory review of the remaining powers comprehended under this third description, to wit: to regulate commerce among the several States and the Indian tribes; to coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin; to provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the current coin and secureties of the United States; to fix the standard of weights and measures; to establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws of bankruptcy, to prescribe the manner in which the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of each State shall be proved, and the effect they shall have in other States; and to establish post offices and post roads.
The defect of power in the existing Confederacy to regulate the commerce between its several members, is in the number of those which have been clearly pointed out by experience. To the proofs and remarks which former papers have brought into view on this subject, it may be added that without this supplemental provision, the great and essential power of regulating foreign commerce would have been incomplete and ineffectual. A very material object of this power was the relief of the States which import and export through other States, from the improper contributions levied on them by the latter. Were these at liberty to regulate the trade between State and State, it must be foreseen that ways would be found out to load the articles of import and export, during the passage through their jurisdiction, with duties which would fall on the makers of the latter and the consumers of the former. We may be assured by past experience, that such a practice would be introduced by future contrivances; and both by that and a common knowledge of human affairs, that it would nourish unceasing animosities, and not improbably terminate in serious interruptions of the public tranquillity. To those who do not view the question through the medium of passion or of interest, the desire of the commercial States to collect, in any form, an indirect revenue from their uncommercial neighbors, must appear not less impolitic than it is unfair; since it would stimulate the injured party, by resentment as well as interest, to resort to less convenient channels for their foreign trade.
But the mild voice of reason, pleading the cause of an enlarged and permanent interest, is but too often drowned, before public bodies as well as individuals, by the clamors of an impatient avidity for immediate and immoderate gain. The necessity of a superintending authority over the reciprocal trade of confederated States, has been illustrated by other examples as well as our own. In Switzerland, where the Union is so very slight, each canton is obliged to allow to merchandises a passage through its jurisdiction into other cantons, without an augmentation of the tolls.
In Germany it is a law of the empire, that the princes and states shall not lay tolls or customs on bridges, rivers, or passages, without the consent of the emperor and the diet; though it appears from a quotation in an antecedent paper, that the practice in this, as in many other instances in that confederacy, has not followed the law, and has produced there the mischiefs which have been foreseen here. Among the restraints imposed by the Union of the Netherlands on its members, one is, that they shall not establish imposts disadvantageous to their neighbors, without the general permission. The regulation of commerce with the Indian tribes is very properly unfettered from two limitations in the articles of Confederation, which render the provision obscure and contradictory. The power is there restrained to Indians, not members of any of the States, and is not to violate or infringe the legislative right of any State within its own limits.
What description of Indians are to be deemed members of a State, is not yet settled, and has been a question of frequent perplexity and contention in the federal councils. And how the trade with Indians, though not members of a State, yet residing within its legislative jurisdiction, can be regulated by an external authority, without so far intruding on the internal rights of legislation, is absolutely incomprehensible. This is not the only case in which the articles of Confederation have inconsiderately endeavored to accomplish impossibilities; to reconcile a partial sovereignty in the Union, with complete sovereignty in the States; to subvert a mathematical axiom, by taking away a part, and letting the whole remain. All that need be remarked on the power to coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, is, that by providing for this last case, the Constitution has supplied a material omission in the articles of Confederation. The authority of the existing Congress is restrained to the regulation of coin STRUCK by their own authority, or that of the respective States. It must be seen at once that the proposed uniformity in the VALUE of the current coin might be destroyed by subjecting that of foreign coin to the different regulations of the different States. The punishment of counterfeiting the public securities, as well as the current coin, is submitted of course to that authority which is to secure the value of both. The regulation of weights and measures is transferred from the articles of Confederation, and is founded on like considerations with the preceding power of regulating coin.
The dissimilarity in the rules of naturalization has long been remarked as a fault in our system, and as laying a foundation for intricate and delicate questions. In the fourth article of the Confederation, it is declared "that the FREE INHABITANTS of each of these States, paupers, vagabonds, and fugitives from justice, excepted, shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of FREE CITIZENS in the several States; and THE PEOPLE of each State shall, in every other, enjoy all the privileges of trade and commerce," etc. There is a confusion of language here, which is remarkable. Why the terms FREE INHABITANTS are used in one part of the article, FREE CITIZENS in another, and PEOPLE in another; or what was meant by superadding to "all privileges and immunities of free citizens," "all the privileges of trade and commerce," cannot easily be determined. It seems to be a construction scarcely avoidable, however, that those who come under the denomination of FREE INHABITANTS of a State, although not citizens of such State, are entitled, in every other State, to all the privileges of FREE CITIZENS of the latter; that is, to greater privileges than they may be entitled to in their own State: so that it may be in the power of a particular State, or rather every State is laid under a necessity, not only to confer the rights of citizenship in other States upon any whom it may admit to such rights within itself, but upon any whom it may allow to become inhabitants within its jurisdiction. But were an exposition of the term "inhabitants" to be admitted which would confine the stipulated privileges to citizens alone, the difficulty is diminished only, not removed. The very improper power would still be retained by each State, of naturalizing aliens in every other State. In one State, residence for a short term confirms all the rights of citizenship: in another, qualifications of greater importance are required. An alien, therefore, legally incapacitated for certain rights in the latter, may, by previous residence only in the former, elude his incapacity; and thus the law of one State be preposterously rendered paramount to the law of another, within the jurisdiction of the other. We owe it to mere casualty, that very serious embarrassments on this subject have been hitherto escaped. By the laws of several States, certain descriptions of aliens, who had rendered themselves obnoxious, were laid under interdicts inconsistent not only with the rights of citizenship but with the privilege of residence. What would have been the consequence, if such persons, by residence or otherwise, had acquired the character of citizens under the laws of another State, and then asserted their rights as such, both to residence and citizenship, within the State proscribing them?
Whatever the legal consequences might have been, other consequences would probably have resulted, of too serious a nature not to be provided against. The new Constitution has accordingly, with great propriety, made provision against them, and all others proceeding from the defect of the Confederation on this head, by authorizing the general government to establish a uniform rule of naturalization throughout the United States. The power of establishing uniform laws of bankruptcy is so intimately connected with the regulation of commerce, and will prevent so many frauds where the parties or their property may lie or be removed into different States, that the expediency of it seems not likely to be drawn into question. The power of prescribing by general laws, the manner in which the public acts, records and judicial proceedings of each State shall be proved, and the effect they shall have in other States, is an evident and valuable improvement on the clause relating to this subject in the articles of Confederation. The meaning of the latter is extremely indeterminate, and can be of little importance under any interpretation which it will bear. The power here established may be rendered a very convenient instrument of justice, and be particularly beneficial on the borders of contiguous States, where the effects liable to justice may be suddenly and secretly translated, in any stage of the process, within a foreign jurisdiction. The power of establishing post roads must, in every view, be a harmless power, and may, perhaps, by judicious management, become productive of great public conveniency.
Nothing which tends to facilitate the intercourse between the States can be deemed unworthy of the public care.

Dillon Keck knew Ashlyn Mayson was drunk when she suggested they get married. He knew he should have taken her back to their hotel room and put her to bed. Instead, he did what he had been craving to do since the moment they met.
Claim her as his.
Waking up married in Vegas isn't something Ashlyn Mayson ever thought would happen to her. Having Dillon, her boss, a man she thinks is a dick, insist they stay married is absurd, but every time he touches her, she gets lost in him and wonders if maybe they are meant to be together.
But someone isn't happy for Dillon and Ashlyn and their new found romance, and they're willing to do anything to keep them apart. Even commit murder.
My Review
We all fell in love with ARR many years ago, well those who have read her since the very beginning. I find myself among those masses. When we read the Mayson Brothers and finding their booms. Fast forward years later and were in the second generation, and Reynolds does not dissapoint. In fact I think she has brought a new element to the table. If it were possible her Hero's have more alpha (and thats hard to say with being a huge fan of Asher Mayson)
You'll be a huge Dillon fan, he's that cocky male, with some sweetness and a whole lot of spicy.
To every single person that believes in the BOOM
Chapter 1
"Hey, Mom," I greet, tucking my phone between my ear and shoulder as I shove another dress and matching heels into my suitcase. I smile while I do, because Dillon will likely flip his lid when he sees my choices in attire for the weekend, but there is not one damn thing he can do about it since we won't be in the office. So technically, his stupid rules don't apply.
"Are you all packed?"
"Almost," I sigh, looking at the clock and realizing I only have ten minutes to finish before my cab is set to arrive. I wasn't planning on going to Vegas for the dental convention, but Dillon insisted he needed me with him, and like an idiot, I agreed.
"Is Dillon picking you up?"
"No, I'm meeting him there. His flight left a couple hours ago."
"Oh." She lets out a defeated breath. "Is it just you and him going?"
"I hope so. I swear if the Wicked Witch shows up, I'll sell her on the strip to the highest bidder, or pay someone to take her out to the desert and drop her off," I grumble, digging under my bed for my tickler—just in case of an emergency.
"Call me if you need an alibi." She laughs, and I smile, shaking my head, because I know she's not lying; she would find a way to be my alibi if something happened.
"I'll call," I mutter, heading to the bathroom so I can gather my shower supplies.
"Dillon's so nice," she says quietly, and I grit my teeth.
Dillon is annoying, bossy, and… fine, he can be nice sometimes. Plus, he's uber-hot, but I hate him. Okay, I don't hate him… but I really, really want to.
"How long are you going to be gone for?" she questions, breaking into my internal rant.
"Just four days. My flight gets back Monday night around seven."
"Promise you'll call everyday and check in."
"I'll call or text," I agree, grabbing my cosmetics case from under the bathroom cupboard, filling it with all of my makeup.
"Please try and have some fun while you're there. Make Dillon take you out to a nice dinner or dancing."
Snorting, I mutter, "Sure, Mom. I love you. I'll message when I land."
"Okay, honey, and don't forget your dad and I leave Monday for Florida and we'll be gone for three weeks."
"I haven't forgotten. Have fun, kiss Grandma and Grandpa, and tell Dad I love him."
"Will do," she promises softly before I hang up and shove my cell into my back pocket. Looking at the clock I let out a quiet curse, getting my ass in gear to finish packing so I don't miss my flight.
Dragging my bag behind me toward the reception desk, I'm stunned by how many people are here wearing nametags stating they're attending the dental convention. Dillon mentioned this weekend is one of the largest gatherings of dentists in the United States, but sheesh, this is crazy. Finally making it to the front of the line, I smile at the cutie behind the desk.
"How can I help you, gorgeous?" he inquires once I'm close, and I set my purse on the counter and pull out my ID, handing it over to him.
"Hi, I have a reservation." I yawn, covering my mouth while I listen to the sound of slot machines going off in the distance. I love the slots—or penny slots to be exact, since I'm too chicken to play the real ones.
"I'm sorry, but there is no reservation under your name. Are you sure you're staying with us?" he asks, handing me back my ID, and I frown.
"I'm positive. It may be under my boss' name, Dillon Keck. He made the reservations," I say, and he starts to type again then smiles.
"Got it. I see here that Mr. Keck has already checked in and requested we give you your own key to the suite upon arrival."
"Uh… what?" I blurt, feeling something close to dread fill my stomach. "Are you saying he's staying in that room too?"
"Yes, it's a suite with two kings."
"I don't care how many kings are in the room. It's one room. Right?" I panic, leaning half over the counter, trying to see his computer screen. "Please tell me you have another room available?"
"I'm sorry, but we're completely booked. This is one of our busiest weekends of the year."
"Of course it is." I shake my head. "Can you recommend another hotel nearby?"
"Sorry, but I really doubt anywhere else has an opening."
"Oh man… oh man," I breathe, squeezing my eyes closed. "It's not a big deal. You can share a room with him. You're an adult, and it's not like you even like him, right?" I whisper, balling my hands into fists.
"Um, so do you want me to get you your key?" Opening my eyes, I nod once and his face softens. "Call down and check. Sometimes we have people call off their reservations last minute. You never know. Something might open up between tonight and tomorrow."
"Sure, I'll call," I agree, wondering what the hell I did to deserve this kind of karma as I wait there for the room key.
Standing in the hall outside the door to our room ten minutes later, I pause with my key card in my hand, not sure if I should knock or just go in. I seriously cannot believe Dillon booked us in a room together. Actually, I can believe it, because I think he gets off on annoying me.
"Screw it. It's my room too," I mutter to myself, shoving the key into the card reader, watching the light turn green. Pushing down on the handle, I turn, using my shoulder to hold the door open while I drag my suitcase into the room, fighting with its weight as the door closes, trapping it half way through.
Turning my head, I look over my shoulder and almost fall on my ass when my eyes find Dillon standing in the middle of the room, completely naked, with a pair of boxers in his hand. His once long hair now short and wet, and a tattoo I didn't know he had along his muscled ribs on his side.
"Oh, my God," I breathe, turning quickly while attempting to shove my suitcase back out of the room. I totally did not need to know Dillon looks hotter without clothes than what my mind had made up, and believe me—my mind had unfortunately tormented me with thoughts of him naked many times.
"Christ, you're a mess," is muttered from behind me while a very strong arm wraps around my waist, lifting me off my feet, and my suitcase is tugged from my grasp. Before I know it, my suitcase and I are both in the room and the door closes with a soft hiss, trapping me inside.
"Please tell me you're not still naked," I whimper, squeezing my eyes closed, feeling his arm release me and his heat leave my back.
"I'm not naked."
Opening my eyes, I close them again when I see he's only got on a pair of form-fitting black boxers and nothing else. "Put some clothes on."
"Don't tell me you've never seen a naked man before." He chuckles, and the sound of his laughter makes my teeth grind and my hands drop to my sides.
"I don't want to see you naked." I glare at him while he buttons up a pair of dark slacks that fit him perfectly.
"You could have avoided all of this if you had knocked."
"Really?" I raise a brow. "You could have 'avoided all this,'" I make air quotes, "and gotten me a separate room."
"They messed up the reservation." He shrugs like it's no big deal, and I feel my eyes narrow further.
"You should have called to tell me that, so I could have—"
"You would have avoided coming," he cuts me off. "If you knew we were sharing a room, you would have found an excuse, and I need you with me this weekend."
"Whatever," I grumble, knowing he's right. I would have canceled the trip if I knew we were sharing a room, even knowing that being here is a great way to build connections with other dentists. Especially, if I want to open my own practice in the future. "We need to set a few ground rules." I cross my arms over my chest while I watch him walk across the room toward the bed near the window.
"Later." He picks up a dark-blue, almost black, dress shirt and starts to put it on, which is unfortunate, because now that I've seen him shirtless, I'm thinking he should never cover up again.
"No, now," I growl, annoyed with myself for being attracted to the dick.
"Later." He holds my glare. "Right now, you need to get dressed. We have reservations in forty minutes." He takes a seat on the side of the bed and starts to put on his shoes.
"What?" I look at the clock on the wall. It's after seven at night and I'm exhausted. All I want to do is climb into bed, order room service, and watch some bad TV.
"We have a reservation in forty minutes," he repeats, then stands. "The restaurant is twenty minutes away, so you have twenty minutes to get ready, unless you want to wear that." He motions to my sweats, flip-flops, and hoodie. "I suggest you change."
"I hate you."
"So you say," he says, just barely loud enough for me to hear, as he goes to the dresser, picking up his watch and putting it on.
"What did I do to deserve this?" I shake my head, pulling out my hair tie and running my fingers through my knotted hair.
"You may want to hurry."
Holding his eyes for a minute, I give up my glare then drag my suitcase to the middle of the room and unzip it. After pulling out one of my favorite "going out" outfits along with my makeup bag, I go to the bathroom and try to slam the door closed, but it's on one of those thingies that prevents me from doing that, which pisses me off even more.
"Stupid door. Stupid dick," I mutter once the door is closed, then get to work on making myself look halfway decent.
Twenty minutes later, I look at my refection and lean forward, putting my face an inch from the mirror, and use my dark-red lipstick for the final touch on my dramatic makeup look. Since I didn't have time to do anything with my hair, I brushed it out and put it up in a bun on top of my head then pulled out a few pieces to frame my face. Looking at my now blonde hair, I smile. I wasn't sure I would like having blonde hair but Kim insisted it would look great on me, and she wasn't wrong. Standing back, I place my hands on my hips and take myself in. My black sleeveless-top, with triangles cut out of the center of the chest and sides, is sexy but classy, and my red skin-tight pencil skirt, with its slit up the thigh, shows off just enough skin to draw attention while leaving everything to the imagination.
Slipping on my black, pointed-toe, four-inch pumps, I open the door to the bathroom, and mutter toward where I know Dillon is sitting, "Let me just change my purse and we can go."
"You're not wearing that."
"Pardon?" I ask, pausing in my squatted position in front of my open suitcase to look at him.
"You're not wearing that outfit. Go change."
"I'm not changing." I stand, moving to the desk so I can transfer what I need from my bag to my clutch. Hearing no reply, my eyes move to where he's sitting on the edge of the bed, and I feel my skin warm up and butterflies take off in my stomach as our eyes lock and his darken.
Licking my lips that have suddenly gone dry, his eyes drop to my mouth and his jaw clenches. "I'll meet you downstairs." He stands abruptly and moves past me out the room quickly, letting the door close behind him with a swoosh without another word.
"What the fuck was that?" I ask the door, gaining no reply—not that I need one. I know exactly what that was; I just have no idea what to do with it. Dillon has always acted professional with me. There has never been a time that I've seen him look at me like he's interested, but the look in his eyes a moment ago was primal and not one an engaged man should give another woman, or a boss should give his employee, ever.
Shaking off the strange feeling in the pit of my stomach, I finish changing out my bag then leave the room and make my way through the casino and into the lobby. Not finding Dillon inside, I head outside to the area the cabs and limos pick up and drop off, and spot him standing with a group of people. I'm not surprised he's surrounded by a gaggle of women and a couple of men. He tends to draw attention wherever he goes, and it's something else that annoys me. I hate being the center of attention, and I don't really like people who need it to feel important. Needing a minute to get my head together, I stop a few feet away and tuck my clutch under my arm.
"Where you going, gorgeous? 'Cause wherever it is, I'm there," a drunk guy, who can't be much older than twenty-one, slurs, stumbling up to me. His clothes are rumpled, his hair in disarray, and if he wasn't such a mess, he'd be cute. But sadly, sloppy drunk works for no one.
Ignoring him, I untuck my purse, open it, and pull out my cell phone, knowing better than to engage with men like him in his current state.
"So you're to good for me?" he slurs, snatching my cell out of my hand, and my eyes fly up.
"Give me my phone," I say evenly, holding out my hand, and his eyes travel the length of me and his face scrunches up.
"Ho here thinks she's too good for me."
"Mike, come on. Give her the phone and let's go," someone says off to the side, but I keep my eyes on Mike, with my palm out toward him. My dad insisted I take martial arts with Jax when I was little. I hated it; I wanted to be a ballerina, not a ninja, but he was adamant about me being able to protect myself. Over the years, the skills I learned back then have come in handy, like now, when all I really want to do is kick the crap out of Mike but know better. One of the first things I was forced to learn was control, to never lose my temper. The second thing I learned was to keep my eyes on my enemy at all times. I was never really good at either, but I still got a black belt in the end.
"Mike," I say softly, taking a step toward him. "I'm going to ask you nicely, once, to give me my phone. If you don't, I swear to God I will unleash the Kraken, kick your ass in front of your friends, and send you home crying to your mother."
Laughing, he looks around then his eyes widen as they move behind me. I really, really want to know what he's looking at, but I refuse to turn my head and give in.
"Give her the phone." The deep rumble of Dillon's voice sends a chill down my spine. I've only heard him pissed a few times, and I know he's pissed right now without even looking at him.
"I… I… w-was just playin' man," Mike stutters out, tossing my phone toward me. Missing my hands and causing my phone to crash to the ground, and my nostrils to flare as it shatters at my feet.
"Oh, shit. Oh, Christ. I'm sorry." He drops to his knees and begins gathering the pieces of what used to be my phone then tries to get up, but falls face forward into my crotch, causing me to stumble back.
"I can't believe this shit," Dillon grumbles, catching me before I fall, then tugs me out of the way as Mike's friends decide to finally step in and pick him up from the ground. "You had to wear that outfit."
"You can not be serious right now?" I hiss, swinging my head back and finding him glaring down at me.
"Let me go." I try to get free, but his hand on my waist tightens as his eyes leave mine. Swinging my head in the other direction, I find one of Mike's friends standing a few feet away with my phone, looking anywhere but at us, and Mike off to the side, puking in a trashcan.
"Let me go," I repeat, and his arm tightens for a moment before he finally lets me loose. I really want to scream or throw a fit, but instead, I calmly take my clutch and open it, holding it out toward the guy and letting him dump the now useless pieces inside. "You need to get him some Gatorade and toast," I tell him, nodding toward Mike.
"Um, yeah sure. Than…" his words taper off, and the smile that was forming on his lips slides away as he looks over my shoulder. Rolling my eyes, I watch him turn quickly and go to Mike to help carry him away, feeling Dillon get close once more.
"Limo's waiting," he mutters, placing his hand against my lower back, making me tense.
"I'm not going." I try to step away, but his hand slides around my waist, bringing my side into his middle.
"You are."
"I'm not."
"You are," he growls, leaning forward, close… way too close.
"Fine, you want me there? I'll go, but just so you know, I plan on getting completely wasted, so you have just become my chaperone for the evening."
"You're not getting drunk."
"Wasted, not drunk. And you better make sure I don't do anything stupid." I pat his chest, ignoring his flashing eyes. With that, I step out of his grasp and start toward the line of limos then turn to look over my shoulder at him, realizing I have no clue which one to go to.
Smirking, he crosses his arms over his chest and raises a brow. "What's wrong, blondie? Confused?" His mocking tone and the look of triumph in his eyes does it. I turn on my heels and head to one of the limos with the driver standing outside leaning against it. The moment the driver spots me coming in his direction, his back leaves the car and his eyes rake over me, making my teeth snap together.
"Can I help you, Miss?"
"Ashlyn Mayson, get your ass back here," Dillon snarls behind me, making my palm itch to smack him.
"I'm sorry, pumpkin. I thought you said this was our limo." I fake pout, turning to look at him and tossing my head to the side for good measure.
"Christ, you drive me fucking insane." He walks to where I'm standing, tagging my hand, and then starts to drag me with him, grumbling under his breath.
"You know all I want in this whole wide world is to make you happy, pumpernickel," I whine, batting my lashes while watching his jaw tic.
Leading me toward another limo with a driver holding the back door open, he growls, "Behave."
"I swear I'll be your good girl from now on if you don't spank me," I stage-whisper, and his hand spasms in mine as a smirk forms on his lips.
"You don't behave, I'll bend you over and tan your ass right here." His words ring through my ears, making my insides liquid, and then I hear the sound of a male chuckle as I'm gently forced into the back seat of the dark limo before I can reply.
"You're such a jerk," I hiss, adjusting my skirt as I move across the leather seats.
"You started the show we put on. I just ended it," he mutters, sitting down across from me and unbuttoning his suit jacket.
"You started it with the whole 'blondie' thing." I cross my arms over my chest and glare at him.
"Can we not do this tonight? Can we get along for one damn evening?"
"You tell me. I'm not the one who's bossy and annoying all the damn time."
"No, you're just crazy."
"Crazy?" I snort, and his lips twitch ever so slightly. "I'm not crazy."
"Babe, you told that kid you were going to unleash the Kraken on him then went on to tell his friends to get him Gatorade and toast. You're the definition of crazy."
He may have a point, but instead of agreeing with him, I turn my head to look out the window and watch the city of Las Vegas slide by.
"Turn it off. Turn it off," I croon sleepily as my hand sweeps out in the direction of the noise blaring from the alarm, missing it over and over as the beeping continues to torture me.
"Jesus, shut that shit off." An arm comes from around me, and silence fills the room as my body freezes and my eyes spring open, only to close again when the room spins.
"Oh, God, why are you in my bed?" I hiss, trying to calm my stomach that feels like it's getting ready to empty.
"You're in my bed," Dillon grumbles, sliding his arm around my waist, pulling my ass back into the crook of his thighs.
"Why am I in your bed?" I breathe as bits and pieces from last night flash through my mind, and none of them are good. None of them at all.
"You wanted to cuddle." He buries his face in my neck then moves his hand up to cup my breast. I know I don't have any clothes on when I feel the hair from his thighs tickle mine and his finger runs over my nipple. Oh, God. A memory of me telling him we have so much in common while we both got naked for bed fills my mind, and then another one pops in and my hand flies up to my face.
I force my eyes open, trying to focus, and see it there—the small, plain, white-gold band from the memory of him sliding it on my finger.
"We got married?" I shout, pulling his hand from my breast.
"We got married," he agrees, not sounding upset, but instead, almost proud.
"Oh shit!" I fly out of the bed and trip over our clothes scattered across the floor, feeling him catch me right before I land on my face.
"Ash, calm down."
"Calm down? Calm down? Are you insane? We got married last night. Married, Dillon. I got married to a man who is engaged to another woman!" I yell, then cover my mouth. "Oh, God, I'm going to hell. I'm so going to hell for this."
"I'm not engaged," he says calmly, giving me a shake.
"I know your fiancée!" I screech, attempting to get away from him, only to have him hold me tighter.
"I'm not fucking with Isla. Now stop with the crazy."
"You're not with her?" I stop, and he runs a hand through his hair.
"No," he states, holding my stare, and my body uncoils just slightly.
"Fine, I'm not going to hell." I move away from him and resume pacing. "We need to find an attorney. I saw loads of advertisements on the strip. We'll get one and get this taken care of. It's no big deal. People get married in Vegas everyday then get divorced. We will just be one of the ninety percent," I ramble while pacing.
"We are not getting an annulment."
"Annulment, right." I snap my fingers. "That's even better. No one has to know about this."
"Listen to me." He grabs onto my shoulders, giving me a shake, and my eyes focus on his. "We are not getting an annulment, or divorced. We got married and are staying that way."
"Oh, God, you were drugged." I rest my hands against his chest and drop my voice, "Don't worry. We'll go to the hospital and they'll give you something. Once you're better, this will all be taken care of."
"Jesus Christ." He rubs his hands down his face, tilting his head back to look toward the ceiling. "I'm married to a nut."
"Hey, that's not nice." I plant my hands on my hips. His head drops, his eyes scan the length of me, and I realize I'm naked… that we're both completely naked. "Dillon." I take a step back when his eyes meet mine, and his arms swing toward me. "What are you doing?" I shriek, sidestepping him, only to stumble onto the bed, where I attempt to roll. But he flips me to my back, his giant body moving between my legs, and his hands pin my wrists to the mattress over my head. Panting, I look up into his beautiful blue eyes.
"We are not getting a divorce," he snarls, leaning down so his face is mere centimeters from mine.
"Be rational." I lift my hips and my arms, trying to throw him off. "You're obviously on—"
Before I can say more, his head descends and his mouth is covering mine, stealing my breath along with my soul. The feel of his lips, the taste of him on my tongue, ignites something deep inside of me, and I kiss him back with everything I am. Ripping my mouth from his, I pant, "Please let me go."
"No." The word sounds almost primal, and I lean up, placing my mouth back against his.
"Please, I want to touch you."
Groaning, his hands release my wrists, and my palms fly to his chest and slide up and over his shoulders, pulling him closer to me as my legs wrap around the back of his thighs. He kisses me again, this time using his tongue and teeth to torture me in the most beautiful way possible.
"How is it possible you taste as good as you look?" he questions, pulling back, but I have no answer for him. He tastes amazing and having him covering me, his hardness pressing against my softness, is making my brain short-circuit. Palming my breast, he slides his thumb over my nipple, causing my hips to jerk forward. Rolling us again, he settles me on top of him, palms both my breasts, and then leans up, pulling my right nipple into his mouth, releasing it with a pop. "When did you get these?" he questions, flicking the tip with his tongue.
"When I was thirteen." I smile, and he smiles back then moves to my other breast, doing the same, only sucking harder, almost punishing.
"When?" he asks again, and I know he's asking about my nipple piercings. I got them with my cousin April a few years back. I wanted a piercing, but needed to be able to look professional to the outside world, so I got both my nipples done with simple, almost elegant-looking gold barbells.
"Three years ago," I breathe as he tweaks the tiny piece of metal.
"Before me."
"What?" I try to focus, but every time he touches me, my body gets hotter and my focus depletes. Grabbing my hips, he tugs me forward, dragging my wet center along his length.
"Soaked." He nips my nipple then wraps his hand into the hair at the back of my head, taking control of my movements as he pulls my mouth to his and thrusts his tongue between my lips. Lost in his kiss and the feel of him between my legs, so close to where I need and want him, I squeak when he flips us over and slides down my body, not giving me a chance to think as his mouth covers me.
"Dillon." My hands move through his hair and my hips lift off the bed, offering myself up to him without thinking about anything but the way his tongue, lips, and teeth feel as he fucks me with his mouth. "Oh, God. Oh, God, I'm going to come," I pant, feeling my toes curl into the bedding and my hands grip his hair. The touch of his finger rimming just the inside of my entrance sends me over, shouting his name as I go.
Feeling him kiss my inner thigh then my belly, over my breasts then shoulder, I come back to myself lazily.
"Tell me you want me." Looking into my eyes while his hand moves between my legs and his fingers slide though my folds, I know I'll give him anything. "Tell me you want me as badly as I want you."
"I want you," I hiss, feeling the very large head of his cock at my entrance, and then watch his eyes drop between us before my eyes do the same, and I know I need to tell him. "I—"
Oh, God, too late… way too late. I bite my lip as he fills me, stretching me.
"Tight, so goddamn tight." He pushes in farther and his jaw clenches.
"Hold on. Please, hold on," I breathe, and his body stills above me as his eyes search mine.
"What's wrong?"
"I just need a minute." I squeeze my eyes closed, feeling like an idiot.
"Baby." His fingers slide along my jaw and cheekbone, into my hair. "Do you want to stop?" he asks gently, making tears sting my nose.
"God, no." He feels good, so good. But he's huge, way bigger than any of my toys. "You're just big. So big." I wiggle my hips and he hisses out a breath, grabbing my waist.
"Don't say that shit when I'm inside of you," he groans, dropping his forehead to mine.
"I have to tell you something, but please don't be mad."
"Christ, what now?" He pulls back, gritting his teeth.
"Stop being a jerk and let me talk." I smack his shoulder and he looks down at me, thrusting in another inch.
"Never mind. I don't want to know."
"What?" I moan, wrapping my legs around his hips as he slides in a little more.
"If it's going to piss me off, I don't want to know." He slides out then back in, and my back arches off the bed as his thick cock fills every inch of me.
"You're such a dick!" I cry out as he tosses my leg over his shoulder, changing the angle of his thrust.
"I don't give a fuck about that either." He drops his mouth, covering mine and stealing my reply—not that I have time to think about that as his mouth leisurely travels down my neck to my breast, which he pulls and sucks until I'm once again shouting his name and hearing mine groaned from his lips as we both come.

Invisalign® has changed the face of orthodontics. Instead of wires attached to your teeth, your teeth can now be straightened invisibly.
- Invisalign® is clear. You can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing.
- Invisalign® is removable. Unlike braces, you can eat and drink what you want during treatment. You can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene.
- Invisalign® is comfortable. No metal brackets or wires to cause mouth irritation, and less time in the dentist's chair getting adjustments.
The Invisalign® process has been proven effective in clinical research and in orthodontic practices nationwide. However, only a certified dentist like ours can undertake this procedure.
The Invisalign® Process
- A set of aligners are worn for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
- As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position the dentist has prescribed.
- You will visit us approximately once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
- Total treatment time averages 11 months with the average number of aligners worn during treatment between 18 and 30. This of course will vary from case to case.
The Invisalign System combines advanced 3-D computer graphics technology with 100-year-old science of orthodontics. Invisalign aligners are designed to move your teeth in small steps to the desired final position prescribed by your orthodontist. Each aligner is precisely calibrated and manufactured to fit your mouth at each stage of the treatment plan. Your first step is to visit our office to determine if Invisalign is right for you. After sending precise treatment instructions, Invisalign uses advanced computer technology to translate these instructions in a sequence of finely calibrated aligners — as few as 12 or as many as 48. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks and only taken out to eat, brush and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will begin to move gradually — week-by-week until the final alignment prescribed is attained. Then you'll be smiling like you never have before!

Auction Terms and Conditions for North West Asset Services (NWAS)
This is a legal agreement between you, the buyers/seller and NWAS.
Registration: All information provided by you, the bidder during the registration process must be current, complete and accurate to the best of your knowledge. To bid you must be a minimum of 18 years old. NWAS at its sole discretion may deny registration to any person or entity.
NWAS holds its auctions with online bidding. Bidding follows rising increments as the value increases. If a bid is made in the last three (3) minutes of the auction then bidding will be extended (1 to 3) minutes. NWAS strongly urges bidders to use automatic bidding.
The Bidder acknowledges that placing a bid is a binding contract between you and the owner/seller. Bids may not be retracted. If you win the bid, you will be obligated to buy the product at the said price as indicated by your bid.
NWAS uses a batch charge system to charge all bidders after the auction. The batch charge uses the "default card" on profiles to pay for any items won during auction. If you would like to be removed from the batch charge system contact a NWAS employee.
Automatic bidding: The Bidder has the ability to place a maximum bid on items of interest. At that time your bid will be placed just above the current bid following bid increments. Your bid will not be increased unless another bid is placed. Your bid will only go as high as you have allowed. If someone prior to you has placed a maximum bid prior to yours, their bid will be accepted.
NWAS, employees or service providers take no responsibility for the result of connection or web service delays and or connection failure. NWAS may at its discretion close or extend the auction or lot. Please note that posted closing is an estimate only.
Items and lots are sold "as is, where is, with all faults". Bidder acknowledges that all items and lots were made available for inspection prior to the auction at a scheduled preview. By these terms, NWAS and Owner/Seller strongly encouraged Bidder to carefully inspect each item or lot to determine the nature, functionality, quality, condition, quantity, and/or size of the item or lot. We do not test all items nor do we guarantee completeness or functionality. Use the catalog as a guide only.
Sales Tax: Oregon currently does not have a sales tax. If your state has one and you ask us to deliver the items you purchased online we will charge a sales tax for your state.
Buyer Premium: Unless a specific auction states otherwise, a 15% buyer's premium will be charged on all items and lots. Every bidder pays the same buyer premium and should bid accordingly. For example, if you bid $100.00 on an item and are successful you will be charged $115.00 at check out for that item.
If NWAS is unable to deliver sold items to the buyer our responsibility will be to refund the amount paid to the buyer. If the title is not available within 10 working days for a titled vehicle, the buyer may have their bid refunded.
Invoices are sent out via email by NWAS within 12 hours of the close of the auction. You are expected to pay with card, cash or wire in the exact amount on site within 48 hours. If you pay by wire you will be charged an additional $30.00 for the wire acceptance fee. We do not accept checks.
