He licked his lips, his focus on the confection. "I want a bite." She smirked. "You can make your own." He looked up into her dark eyes, made light by the fire's glow. He flexed his fingers, one hand finding the soft flesh of her ass, the other her waist. "I don't want my own. I want yours." ________ Desperate for money to protect her incarcerated brother, Penelope Georgia decides to become a surrogate. She's declined by a traditional agency because she's never had a child before. She discovers another avenue without that requirement that also happens to pay better. Unique, however, to most surrogate contracts, the Rogans require Penelope to not only provide the egg and take the child to term, but also that the child must be conceived naturally. With the promise of cash upfront, she agrees to the terms. What she wasn't expecting was an inconvenient attraction to Mr. Rogan that only grows as they embark on the journey to conceive a child for his wife. She's quickly pulled into the couple's dysfunctional relationship while also navigating a lot of firsts for herself. By the time she regrets her decisions, she's in way too far over her head. The last thing she needs to find out is that Mr. Rogan's course mannerisms with her and long absences are because he returns her affections. Further interaction between the two quickly becomes a slippery slope between fulfilling their obligation and crossing a thin line. ___________ So, if you couldn't tell from the description, this story is going to be messy as hell; BUT, this is the one you all voted on LOL! So I'm blaming it on you!! (hehe) (COMPLETE)

"Can you honestly believe your sister is marrying Damien- fucking- Gray??" "Yeah." "Aren't you excited? He's rich. He's hot. And now you get to see him everyday!" "Yeah." "I feel like you aren't listening to me, Tia." Lilian pinches my cheeks, snapping me out of my daydream. "Oh sorry." "Are you excited?" She repeats waiting for me. A tall, broad figure behind her distracts me again. And it's him. Damien Gray. And there's my sister, Marinette. Right behind him. She kisses him deeply, and I notice his eyes remaining open. The gray orbs gaze around before settling on me. And he's just staring at me, an emotion filling his eyes. I've never seen him give my sister this look before. Is it good or bad? Wrong or right? I mean, he's looked at me this way before. Does he only look at me this way? "I guess I am." ✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈« "I don't know. There's something about you." His fingers graze across my cheeks, eyes piercing into my soul. "Something like what?" I blush unconsciously, anticipating his next move. Damien tilts my face up and I tip-toe to match his height, but fail. Taking his free hand, he holds my waist and pushes me up on the wall, inching closer to me. Our lips graze across one another and his eyes darken. "Oh. I think you know, babygirl. I'm attracted." He groans out and I bit my lip. Setting me down, he pulls away and fixes his suit. Leaving me alone in my room, confused. Yeah, it's good. But it's wrong.
