"I can try" I breathe out as I gulp when his grip tightens "Try me" His hand slides up my throat, his long fingers wrapping tight around my jaw "That's what you really want?" I nod, as I sigh out a shallow yes, and I see every muscle in his body tense, as he wets his lips; hoarsely murmuring his next sentence like its his last try at making me change my mind.

"IT CAN BE SO LONELY IN THIS CITY, BUT IT FEELS DIFFERENT WHEN YOU'RE WITH ME" ••• Olivia Campbell grew up next to Liam Payne, the two relying on each other as they maneuvered through life together. No matter how far one strayed, they always stayed in touch and were there for one another, whether it be financial help or sexual favours. Simply put - casual friends. When Olivia's side job catches up to her and her future crumbles, she has nothing left to lose and time to kill. In an impulsive decision, she flees to Daytona Beach in search of a distraction, or many. It's only by chance she runs into Liam and his band while they're touring the world. How convenient that her best friend is a rockstar who can get her virtually anything she wants. Sex, drugs, alcohol and money. Except, what she really wants is a blonde-haired boy with commitment issues. ••• *a spin-off of @happydays1d's Duplicity!*
