Completed ✔ "Look at me. Look at me!" Mathias's head wipes around do fast. I swallow my spit getting ready to say what's on my mind. "I know you don't feel the same but that doesn't mean you can avoid me like I have a virus. I don't care if you don't like me, that's fine. I'm going to still love you either way. I came to ask you to show me the movie." "Are you trying to make things hard on me. Seline can show you the movie. Ask her to set it up on the TV. I have work to do." "I didn't ask Seline. I'm asking you. I'm pretty sure you can work later." Mathias starts typing again. I'm so mad. He's so difficult. I get up going around then press the power button. "Why did you do that?" I go closer standing next to him. My hands crawl through his thick soft hair. I lean in so our eyes are meeting. "I. Want. To. Watch. The. Movie. Now." "You're really pushing my nerves. I might have lost hours worth of work." "I don't care. Movie." My hands move from his hair to hold his face. Even when he's driving me insane I want to kiss him. Touch him, do other things I'm don't know about with him. He consumes me and he doesn't know it. He pulls my hands away and picks me up putting my button on the keyboard. "Is this what you want?" "Yes." My breathing quickens. That slippery feeling coming between my legs. What is it? It feels amazing when I press my thighs together. Mathias holds my legs stopping me from doing so. He stands up to his full height. Towering over me. I peer up my cheeks redden. Mathias watches me and I can't help but lick my lips at the ravenous look in his eyes. I can see it now. He wants me. Reaching up I pull his shirt so he's forced to bend down. "If you don't show me the movie, I'll kiss you. It's your choice. Movie or a kiss." Mathias's eyes set on my lips. His eyebrow furrowing then suddenly he puts me down to the floor. "I'll ask Seline to make us popcorn." ... ~ A Forbbiden Affair Novel ~ book 1

18 year old Seven is the pride of 12th Street. With a 4.0 GPA, a clean record, and a future that stretches far beyond the projects, she's the "good girl" everyone points to. She lives her life by the book, tucked safely behind the protection of her brother, Serge, and the iron gate of her porch. She's a goldfish in a shark tank, and she knows it. But the walls Serge built are starting to feel thin. Ghost is the first crack in her foundation. He's Serge's right hand, a man who has known Seven since she was in pigtails. He's respectful, steady, and moves through their house with a silent, predatory grace. He knows the "don't touch" policy better than anyone, but the way he watches her from the kitchen door tells a different story. He's the familiar danger, the one who's always there, whispering that he sees the woman she's becoming. Then there is Lucky. If Ghost is the fire, Lucky is the cold, dark eclipse. As the man who runs the neighborhood, he doesn't come inside, and he doesn't play by anyone's rules, not even Serge's. He doesn't talk much.

One man is her brother's best friend who respects the house, the other is the street legend who intends to own it. On 12th Street, loyalty is everything... but some temptations are worth the war.

I cupped her face, planting a soft kiss on her beautiful lips. "Don't ever run from me, baby," I said softly, letting my thumb trace her jaw. "I love the chase." Her jaw tightened, her hands coming up to try and move mine. "Stop calling me baby, Ezra," she snapped, eyes flashing. I couldn't help but grin, dropping my voice to something low and dark. "Ohhh, now my baby has a problem with me calling her baby?" She shot me a glare, but I just tucked her hair behind her ear, pressing another kiss to her lips-gentler this time, lingering. "You don't get to tell me what to call you, baby." I leaned in closer, brushing my nose against hers. "You're whatever the fuck I call you."
