I found him sitting on the couch. His gaze was transfixed on me as I walked in. Lila was behind me and the other man was making his way into the living room too. The living room was nicely furnished with leather couches and a TV so large that I had never once thought I'd own in my life. There was a glass coffee table and a rug underneath it in front of the couch a little. His long legs were stretched out.
"Sit," he instructed.
I pulled Lila to sit down next to me on the love seat. The blonde man sat next to the other man. It was at that point that I realized I had never gotten their names. How polite of me...
"I don't think we've introduced ourselves," I said. I was trying to fight the physical attraction I was feeling for both of them and focus on mundane things. God, I just wanted both of them to fuck me-
"I'm Aries," the dark haired one said.
"Like as in the zodiac sign?" Lila questioned, a confused look on her face.
He chuckled. "No. I'm Aries as in Aries is my name."
I furrowed my eyebrows. I had never met anyone named Aries before. But something about it seemed like it suited him.
"Silas," the blonde offered us his name.
"Lila," my best friend said with a delicate smile.
"And I'm Natalia, but you can call me Nat," I smiled.
"Natalia?" Aries asked, my name flowing off of his tongue easily. "Fitting." Before I could ask how, he spoke again. "Do you like the place?"
I nodded. "Yeah, it's pretty nice. And bigger than I expected."
"I'm sure you'll find that with a lot of things here," he said. Silas looked over at him. "It's you that wants to move in, correct?"
"Yeah, but I'm just a little confused about something," I said. "Why is it so cheap to live here?"
"Because," Aries began with a shrug, "we just want to offer someone a nice place to live that's inexpensive. What's wrong with that?"
I raised an eyebrow. "And in turn what do you get?"
"What do I get?" He narrowed his eyes.
"Yes." I suddenly felt a little more confident and like myself than I had felt since I got here. Good. I couldn't just let two attractive men turn me into a brain dead damsel.
He leaned forward, setting his elbows on his thighs. I leaned forward as well, matching the look he had on his face. I was both angry and really, really turned on at the same time. Fuck my stupid libido. But I wasn't going to break.
He smirked a little, leaning in closer. "I like you."
"So, as I said, Aries. What do you get? No one does anything without an ulterior motive."
"You're incorrect," he said before he leaned back in his seat, a dismissive look on his face. "So are you interested?"
My eyes moved from his face to his body. I was definitely interested, alright. But if I was going to move in, I had to be professional. The last thing I needed was to mess this up and end up losing the apartment. He already liked me, that was a good sign.
"I am."
"So, give us the general rundown. Who are you?"
"My name is Natalia Maruo, but I prefer Nat. I'm 23. I just graduated from college, and I don't really get along with my parents so I want to move out."

Paranormal"What do you want?" Silas asked in a low voice. His blue eyes raked over my frame causing me to lose my breath momentarily. "You," I breathed, my eyes darting between the two men in front of me. "I want both of you." Aries smirked, a smug look on hi...
