'Fuck you,' I breathed, pulling away from the kiss, searching his eyes. He was enjoying it. 'If you keep saying that, maybe you will someday,' he teased, his fingers going into the waistband. Feeling his smooth, long fingers on the skin of my pussy sent shockwaves through my body. He was staring at me, watching my every reaction, and I dared not to look away. I won't give him the satisfaction that I'm enjoying this. 'Feisty, huh?' he taunted, before his fingers slipped to my folds. I could feel my wetness coating his fingers, and I hated myself for getting so wet because of him. ──── ୨୧ ──── Four years ago, he shattered her dignity with a joke at a pool party Not just anyone - her brother's best friend.

Short imagines on all men ever of December 10

Josh has everything - fame, a band the world adores, and a life lived under constant scrutiny. Isla has the opposite: a career built on control, discretion, and staying invisible behind the scenes as the band's PR intern. Their relationship was never supposed to exist. And now it's threatening to destroy them both. As headlines blur truth and performance, Josh struggles with the cost of loving someone he can't publicly claim, while Isla is forced to choose between the career she's worked for and the relationship that feels dangerously real. Off the Record is a slow-burn, fan-service-heavy romance about fame, secrecy, and the quiet moments that hurt the most - where love isn't loud, but it lingers. Bittersweet. Intimate. And never quite safe.

Luca has always been drawn to strong, independent women, but when Aria joins SWAT as their new tech specialist, she challenges everything he thought he knew about relationships. Unlike the women he's dated before, Aria values her space, thrives in her own world of code and weapon designs, and has a strict sense of order. Her intelligence, kindness, and passion for baking add depth to her otherwise serious personality. As she settles into the team, Luca finds himself intrigued by her, even though they don't officially meet until episode 9. Aria, on the other hand, has spent most of her life surrounded by military men-her three brothers, her retired father, and even her godfather, Hicks. This is her first job outside of academia and military circles, and while she excels in her field, she struggles with adapting to SWAT's fast-paced, unpredictable nature. She prefers order, but chaos is part of the job. When a major cases threatens the safety of Los Angeles, Aria's expertise becomes critical. Even before she meets Luca, her presence is felt as she works behind the scenes, providing intel, hacking into enemy networks, and crafting high-tech solutions. Eventually, their paths cross in a way neither of them expects, setting the stage for an undeniable connection.
