Phillip Edevane is an oblivious Prince Charming who is surrounded by people who only speak to him for their own benefit. He wishes for nothing more than an escape. When their paths collide, will they create a safe haven for each other or will buried secrets within the palace walls destroy the peace they prayed for? ***** "Here, you dropped this." The man picked up each lavender and placed them back into the basket, then gingerly placed it close enough so she would be able to see it. Tentative with his movements so he wouldn't scare the maiden even more. He then slowly stepped back to give her space to stand up. "I'm sorry if I scared you. I didn't mean to." He sounded genuine to Lorelei so she was able to muster up the courage to stand, she slowly grabbed her basket and held her head low. "Thank you." Lorelei muttered. "Of course-" He finally understood why she seemed so familiar to him. "Wait, Who are you?"

Summer is over now, and he sees that she has left. Not knowing why she has disappeared from Boston. From him. And now Jace Gonzalez is known as the most dangerous man in New York City. Leader of the Vipers. ~~ "You know love, all this time I thought you left me for another guy. I thought you replaced me. Do you know how hurt I was?" He lowered his voice. Taking a step towards me. I lifted my chin a little trying to look braver. "No." I said. This man knows what he does to me and unfortunately yes, he makes me hella nervous. He shook his head as he chuckled. I felt the tiny hairs rise up on the back of neck. This is awkward. I'm dressed like a whore in front of my baby daddy. Real mature of me. Before I could even turn around to leave I was already being pinned against the wall. Against him. Against his... "Oh my, love." He smirked and slowly ran his finger down my exposed stomach. Shivers ran down my spine, God what is wrong with me. My breath hitched in my throat as I watched him slowly lower himself. "So fucking beautiful." He whispered in my ear. ~~

"Then what will I get in return?" Darius closed onto her, his mouth near her ears as his palm held her both hands together stopping the angel from fleeting away like wind, she wanted to run away and he could see the mischievousness in her enchanting eyes. "I-" the girl pondered a bit and before she could form a sentence Darius handed her the ice-cream making her look at him in astonishment. "You? Yes that is all what I want." a small hiccup left the plump lips when she heard her predicament, she was still forming a sentence with that 'I' she did not meant her but.....its not a bad deal. "And you are not a crybaby....you are my pretty little Roe. Mine....do you understand that sweetheart?" Her mouth was gaped open before she gulped nodding frantically as if trying to convey her emotions so he doesn't miss on anything that she wanted to say. "Yes sir." She whispered at last. "Call me daddy." Darius froze when those words left his lips without any filter, he was going to take it back but the dark feral eyes that had carnal possessiveness incited the red haired angel who very slowly whispered. "Yes Daddy"
