His eyes were black just like I had thought, only they weren't full of desire or wonder anymore. Ares eyes weren't full of anything, they looked cold and impassive. He looked like he was being shown a book or a vase not the woman he was meant to marry. I turned my gaze from his and looked back at the table, I couldn't imagine only two days before I was straddling him and running him up thousands of pounds. I knew when he heard my name something changed in his expression. I had thought it was confusion but I see now it was recognition. If I had known who he was, if I had known that walking into that stupid club would mean I would be sat here opposite Ares Hernandez, heir to the Spanish mob wearing a million pound engagement ring I would have stayed home. But it was too late now. The deal was struck and the contract signed. I was stuck with him until I took my last breath. Or until he took his and if I had anything to do with it I'd make sure that would happen before the year was over.

Aria soon finds herself at a crossroad when her best friend Logan offers her something she can't seem to refuse. Sex. That's all it is right? Pure Sex. Everything is only meant for pleasure. And after the pleasure comes friendship. That's the plan at least. But what happens when the plan doesn't work as it's supposed to? Lies, Betrayal, and Sex don't go well together. Will Aria and Logan be able to survive it? -------------------------------------- "She won't find out," Logan whispered into my ear. "She's my friend. I can't do this to her." I said. "Yes, you can. We've done it before." He said. "But not when you are dating my friend," I said. "Tell me you don't want this." He said. I couldn't say anything. "That's what I thought," Logan said before claiming my lips.
