She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

"Are you done staring at me?" He asked and she blushed then looked away. She wanted to walk away so bad but she was scared that Ethan might kill her if she does. "Levi Pierce" he whispered and she nodded then wrapped her arms around his neck. "What are you doing," he asked then cocked one eyebrow up. "I'm seducing you," she said and he chuckled. "I can tell this is your first time but I'm not interested," he said and she dropped her hands. She turned around and was about to walk back over to Ethan when he glared at her then took up a knife. Her eyes widen and she turned back to the man. She sat on his lap then wrapped her arms around his neck again. He placed his hands on her hips and she leaned forward then kissed him. She deepened the kiss and he shoves his tongue into her mouth. She could taste the vodka in his mouth. She started moving her hips and he groaned. Skylar was running out of breath and she pulled away. The color of his eyes changed and she just stared into them. "Have sex with me" she told him and he shook his head. "No you're drunk, go home," he said and she didn't move, she insisted. "Please take me" she begged and he rolled his eyes. "Fine, since you insisted, if you change your mind let me know," he said and she nodded then got off his lap. He held on to her hand and led her outside. ••••••••••••••••••••••• (Ranked #1 in billionaire~ June 16,2020)
