And them understanding what it's like to feel love, while being scared of it at the same time [I flick his forehead with my pointer finger, "You're an ass," He leans down further near my ear so only I can hear him. "Y'know you're kinda cute when you're pissed."]

"You still don't get it do you?" he asked, anger dripping in his every word. "Get what?" I asked, my face morphing into confusion at his question. "When I said you were mine, I meant it." he stated, then before I knew it. His lips were on mine. -------------------------- Octavia Hill, 19, has just graduated over a month ago from high school and doesn't know what she wants to do now, if she wants to go to college, if she just wants to start working, none of that, what she does know is she wants to live her life to the fullest.

------------------------------------------------------------ "Do you know how absolutely crazy I am about you? What the thought of another man doing what I do to you, does to me?"

A smirk upon his lips and I know I'm done for. "Please." ------------------------------------------------------------ Belle Fawn is an innocent adult as innocent as can be these days.

"Do you ever give being insufferable a rest? Don't you get tired of annoying me and then acting smug about it?" Mitchell annoyed asked the infuriating girl sitting across him.

Mitchell, once again annoyed with the girl who's been taunting and teasing him for way too long abruptly stood up from his chair and made his way across the table to where she was seated, he placed one hand on the table and the other on the headrest of her chair and hovered over her, his face a mere centimeter away from hers. "Ooh turn on the air-conditioner things are about to get H.O.T - hot." Mila remarked as she fanned herself. "Don't act invincible, I see you when I'm not looking, you're dying for me."

I forced myself to say, "I love him." "No, you don't," he said, easily. "And even if you were with him, you wouldn't be able to go a day without my touch." "You're wrong." He rammed his finger up into me. I was forced to hold onto him to keep steady, my chest heaving against his as I desperately tried to control myself. Those dark eyes stared into my own with amusement, eyebrow cocking as if asking, 'you sure about that?' His lips brushed mine, and I had to resist the temptation to push mine into his. Then they were at my ear, warm and hot and a reminder to the excruciating pleasure he could make me feel with just his mouth. "Now let's show that lover boy of yours just what it sounds like to make you come undone."

Office enemies fight for the same promotion, while resisting their growing chemistry. LAYLA masks her insecurities behind perfectionism.
