"So Professor Jones, does this mean that we are an actual thing now?" "Princess, calling me that will get you in trouble," he grunts. I smiled in response, because he liked it. He liked that I was calling him professor. I think this was what was so exciting about him and I. He was my professor and the idea of fucking each other is a turn on. There was also the fact I had Grayson as well, even though he was the more reserved one, but what's the harm in still having both of them. I moved my hands under his shirt and I felt soft patch of hair, but hard muscle. "Maybe I want to get in trouble," I teased. "I thought you were going to be a good girl?" Grayson interjects. "I never said I would be good all the time," I say, innocently.

From the author of your favorites like "Favor with the King" and "DUSA," comes the heart pounding, page turning story of Robin Hood (with a twist) Life used to be wonderful in the prosperous kingdom of Enchancia. It was only until a new ruler, King Richard, was brought to the throne that made the kingdom fail. Meet Robyn; a 19 year old free spirit whose life is filled with looting and debauchery: she was raised to rob all her life and has sworn off all royals as evil; what happens when she steals something most valuable from the king? Will a deal with a devil be her only chance to freedom? ____ "You really don't like to share?" I chided. "I am a prince so I always get what I want" he bragged. Once we entered his room he closed the door and turned to inspect my figure. He undressed me with his eyes and walked over to peel the thin red tulle covering my face. I breath nervously as we stand just a breaths apart, our lips barely touching at the surface. "Tell me to kiss you" he whispers desperately, pulling my body into his toned form; his warm hand trails across my exposed back. No words were exchanged as we stood observing each other, as if it was the first time we had met. "And why would I tell you to do a thing like that?" I tease him, impatiently waiting for the chance to tattoo the taste of his lips onto mine. "The eyes are the window to one's soul and yours are screaming for my touch" he murmurs as he grabs my chin, forcing me to stare into his blue eyes. I bit my lip innocently, making sure to tease him again. "Tell me" he growls once more into my neck, as his wet tongue begins to glide down its surface. _____ There will be a love triangle INVOLVED!

L A N I Generous. Kind. Ray of sunshine. Lani always got what she wanted. Ethically, of course. Yet, the one man she craves refuses to turn his head towards her. Unkempt feelings for him grow day by day, and his being her brother's best friend is the roadblock she isn't strong enough to lift. But if he sees her with another man, will things spiral in the direction she wants? C A L L U M Blunt. Observant. Grumpy. Callum's only goal really is to become captain of the Chicago Eagles hockey team. The concept of love is foreign to him, and yet he feels compelled to accept the deal Lani imposes, seeing that his reputation will skyrocket once the relationship leaves their inner circle. But is this truly what he wants? Of course it is; love is trivial and has no space for someone like him. Ever. After an accident forces girl group singer Lani Warren on a year-long hiatus, she finds it the perfect time to admit to her childhood friend how she feels before her group's comeback. The idea seems great in theory, but what she doesn't foresee is the imposing appearance of the man her brother hates, Callum Livernois. They don't know each other and don't want to get to know each other. But striking a mutually beneficial deal requiring them to fake date doesn't sound all that bad after brief deliberation. Nothing will happen, and they won't ever be each other's catalyst in romance. Right? ©girlwounds
