Leonie Waldorf and Ian James hate each other. Not dislike. not barley tolerate. Hate. When he's needs a tutor and she's needs to make her ex jealous they make a deal. It doesn't take long for them to realize what they really want. Each other. But ar...
Ian's beautiful and terrifying words replay in my head. It's been five days and I can't seem to make them go away.
Even now as I type the last of my notes, I feel the breath of Ian words against my skin.
Ian didn't continue the conversation after that, making his intentions clear. I'd quickly returned home with my heart beating like a drum in my chest.

I'm not taking the first step. If Ian's ready to have something more than our deal he knows where to find me.

"You don't remember me do you?" The voice asks.
I look up from my bag taking in the guy's features. Blonde hair, freckles, brown eyes. Wait isn't he-
