+18 Igor patted his thigh-slow, deliberate. "Come here," he said, voice thick with amusement. "Sit on my lap. You look tense." Etta stood her ground, she didn't want him to win. His smirk deepened "You want to see what happens when I ask again?" **** When Etta agrees to a spontaneous trip to Russia with her best friend, she expects snow, sightseeing, and maybe a little adventure-not to be hunted down by a brooding, relentless police officer with icy dark grey eyes and a claim that burns. Igor doesn't ask. He takes. And from the moment he sees her... she's his. WARNING: This story contains dark themes, obsession, NASTY sexual scenes, Reader discretion is advised.

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."

Dr. Charles Whitmore is a brilliant but emotionally guarded professor of modernist literature. At 47, he's twice her age, haunted by a failed marriage, and perfectly content with the predictable solitude of academia-until Maya walks into his lecture hall. Their connection begins with a spark-intellectual, intense, and charged with something deeper.

But in a world of strict rules, whispered gossip, and institutional power, a love like theirs could cost them everything. As desire simmers beneath the surface, both must confront their fears: Maya, about what it means to love someone who sees past her ambition to her vulnerability-and Charles, about the price of rediscovering passion in a woman half his age but twice his fire.

I lived out of a van and wherever the wheels took me was my home. I danced with drunkards at the local country bar and I smoked cigarettes, staining them with my black cherry lipstick. I always had my head in the clouds, because I was a free spirit; my spirit was pure and I lived one day at a time. I was a lonely poet, constantly seeking for more but failing to put it in the right words. I knew that he was the one for me, from the very moment that I set my eyes on him. He was the kind of man I pictured to take my innocence. His tall and strong build made my small one feel safe around him, as if he were a shield from all the terrible things that the world could throw at me. Those big hands of his, God, I could imagine just the pleasure they could bring to me. The fact that he drank green tea, read the newspaper every dawn, that salt 'n' pepper hair of his, those aged lines on his face- he was like art; to me, he transcended poetry. I wore my emotions on my sleeves and he saw right through me, as he did with every other person. He read me like he did those words on the front page of his newspapers, but I didn't care. I wanted him to be my hero and I wanted to belong to him. I wanted him to take me in his arms and whisk me away, strip me of every bit of innocence even if it ruined me. It's true what they say, 'be careful what you wish for'. I hadn't known that a man like him was no saviour, even though he had warned me, I was in too deep already, too naïve and too in love with what I saw- that I had no idea the ruin that lay ahead as Massimiliano Esposito's woman. Poetry- as it had for all other great poets- led me to my destruction.

"I'll be back. Don't leave okay" "Okay" she pouted as she played with her fingers, "Poseidon, I have a secret to tell you before you go" she giggled. "Tell me" "Its a secret! I have to whisper it to you" she tilted her head and curled her finger to motion me, reluctantly I came. "Yes Medusa" I sighed as I approached her. "I'm hungry" she whispered into my ear. "That is no secret. I hear your stomach. What are you hungry for?" I decided to play along. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me close. "You" she breathed on my lips. She pulled my chin and made me stare into her golden pupils. "Why do you distance yourself away from me the god whose name is Poseidon?" she whispered into my face as she brushed my thick brows. "I know I wont be able to stop...if i give in" "Then just give in?" she uttered as she massaged my lips with her thumb. ______ She was once known for her beauty. Beloved by everyone. Adored by many.

Competed ✔ "Willyougoonadatewithme?" "I didn't get your question, say it again." He looked nearly ready to bang his head into the wall. He licked his lips which must have been dry. Aww those lips, I wonder what it's like to kiss them? "Lianna, are you paying attention?" "Yes, what was it?" "I said if you would go on a date with me?" "What!" "Lianna a date, I'm asking you out. Will you go out with me?" His voice said if I have to ask you again I'll lose it. No, I'll lose it, I'll go up into smoke and fizzle away in the wind because my sexy model looking doctor asked me, acne face Lianna out on a date. Lianna didn't know if she should slap him and prepare for cameras to pop out everywhere or kiss him and find out what his lips taste like. "Why do you want to go on a date with me? Have you seen how I look?" I'm talking bad about myself but it's how I feel truly inside. "Dr. Di Stefano I'm sure this is just a prank of yours, but it's okay I'm not upset." "Lianna does this look like a joke to you." She hears him before he slams his lips into hers. He pulled her in by the waist. So close she fell the ripples of his six-pack underneath his clothes. His lips didn't feel dry at all as he expertly kisses her. Causing her body to light up like new years eve fireworks. He sucks her bottom lip into his mouth and strokes up and down her small waist where she was ticklish. It caused her to feel goosebumps and him to gain entrance. Without a second thought, he stroked his warm tongue into her mouth making her taste him like she wanted to earlier. His tongue felt smooth and made her feel lightheaded as it danced with her own. All thoughts from before seem to evaporate as he kissed her into submission. She felt her knees go weak and his hold on her the only thing keeping her standing. If that's how just a kiss feels, how would everything else feel? Lianna's cheeks reddened at the thought. He's not joking he's very serious.
