She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

A king born to rule against the girl who lives for the fight... Kitt Azer's story is known by many: a king's most prized son, the future king of Ilya, the elemental Elite who grew amongst the riches untouched by what his father has done to his own people. But even with his life so on display there's a small detail the public has missed, something that even the most cunning Sights had failed to report. Not really much of a something, as to someone. A girl...who knew more about the prince confined between the walls of his own home than she should have. Corrine is under his brother's orders, Kai Azer. A guard trained to kill, protect and serve the crown. But no matter how skilled she is in her duty, this was something she couldn't have forseen, couldn't have trained for...something she had no control over. . . .
