"Let me guess," he says, eyes gleaming. "You read somewhere that if you humanize your captor, he starts to feel sympathy. Stockholm Syndrome in reverse. Touché." I try not to flinch as he stops directly in front of me.My breath catches, but I don't look away. He grins darkly. "Silly rabbit," he murmurs. "Tricks are for me." *** She came to London to chase the story of a lifetime. He was the story all along. When journalist Penelope Reese begins investigating a string of stolen artifacts tied to a shadowy criminal syndicate known only as The Umbra, she expects danger. What she doesn't expect is to lose herself inside it. At Lethewood Manor, time warps. Morality bends. And the girl who once hunted monsters begins to wonder if she was always fated to become one. Harry Styles is more than the Umbra's ruthless leader he's a mind sharpened into a weapon, a genius who swore nothing human could ever touch him. Cold, calculating, untouchable. Until her. She's the only distraction he's ever allowed. The crack in his control. The voice he swore he didn't need, yet can't silence. To him, she's leverage, temptation, inevitability. To her, he's both a nightmare she can't escape and the one tether that might keep her alive. As Penelope unravels the secrets behind their operations-paintings lost to history, jewels worth empires, power hidden in plain sight. She begins unraveling something far more dangerous: the man who took her... and the truth about herself. But they are both bound by something neither can name-an obsession threaded by fate itself. Because some stories aren't just reported. Some stories are inevitable.

"How long have you been in here?! How much have you heard?!" He yelled as his eyes turned black. "I-I didn't hear anything I swear! I just came to get my phone," I said as I cowered back. "Niall! Didn't I fucking tell you to check if everyone left?!" He yelled as he grabbed my wrist and pulled me out towards the others. "I did-" "Well it doesn't matter now. Liam put her in the fucking car. All we need is another brat to snitch on us." #Wattys2015

"Harry. Come over tonight?" "I can't.. I was sleeping." He said, slightly annoyed that I called him up at like 3 in the morning. "Please." I rolled my eyes. I waited for a response, as I could hear shuffling at the other end of a line. "Do you want to have sex tonight?" I smiled, biting my lip. "Pleasure to." He lowly chuckled, as I yawned. "I'll be there in about ten minutes." "I'm naked under the sheets." "Maybe five, then." I could hear him moving around already, me guessing he was fumbling with his jeans before I hear him head downstairs. I smirked. "Oh and by the way." "Yeah?" He breathed out. "I hate you." -------------------------- We were the complete opposites, as you can see.. But we both had one single thing in common.

He cocks his head to the side and gives me a look, then extends his arm and rests his hand on the wall above my head. He leans in closer, only 6 inches between us now. I can feel the body heat radiating off of him. The scent of his cologne fills my nostrils, overtaking my senses. He licks his cherry-red lips before he speaks. "You're playing with fire, sunshine, I hope you know that." "Fire doesn't scare me," I dare to move in closer, wrapping my hand around to grip to back of his neck and leaning up on my toes to whisper in his ear, "I'm a fucking pyromaniac, baby." I can sense his whole body tense up as I linger for a second, my breath bouncing off of his skin back onto my face. I pull my face back, but keep my hand where it is. Harry's eyes bore into me, and if I didn't know better I would swear he was staring directly into my soul. "Is that a challenge?" It sounds more like a threat than a question. "You tell me," I turn the question back onto him. I finally release him, letting the tips of my fingernails graze the back and side of his neck as I let my hand drop. He just shakes his head and smiles deviously. "This is going to be a lot of fun, sunshine." // Spencer Jameson's dreams seem to be coming to fruition when her band, Cherry Bomb, is chosen to open for the up-and-coming band Ardere on tour.
