"What the hell did you do to me?" His growl sends a shiver down my spine. The room suddenly becomes so much smaller as I fight a losing battle.
The empty space is gone, and even without his hands on me, he has me in his grasp.
His grip on me is brutal, his eyes feral. I inhale deeply, attempting to calm the frantic beat of my heart.
"What are you talking about?" I try to seem unaffected, but my reply comes out breathless and weak.
Grabbing hold of my shoulders, he pushes me roughly into the wall. His face comes closer, and the sweetness of his breath fans my lips.
His hard body molds against my own so perfectly. His warmth seeps and begins spreading through me. I can't seem to control the quivers as the hard outline of his body pushes further into me.
"Mason" I whisper. The need is apparent in my voice. My hands reach up, gripping onto his broad shoulders. My grip tightens, acknowledging the fact that I can't deny this anymore.
I have always wanted him....
"This...this is what you do to me" He growls lowly before crashing his lips against mine.
-------------------------------
As Co-head of division 5, Mason only had one thing in mind, and that was to become the leader of the division. He is arrogant, cold, and above all your average alpha male. The concept of family, friends and least of all love has never crossed his mind.
That all comes to a halt when the woman he has been obsessed with enters his world, and starts screwing up his head.
Scarlett has been on the run for the past seven years. Running away from Silas, the evil leader of Corporation X. He has taken away everything that she has ever loved, in hopes of getting his dirty fingers wrapped around her.
A horrific incident stirs up the courage to fight back, but she is thrown into the world of division 5......Where she meets one of the most stubborn, insensitive man she has ever encountered.
"Previously known as... Scarletstroke: Girl assassin"
* No hesitation
* No killing of children
* No killing of innocent people
* No emotions
* And defenitely, NO falling in love
~ Those are the main rules code named Scarletstroke, former assassin Scarlett Gonzales lives by.
She is a highly-trained, highly-precise and highly-dangerous killer who considers herself the same as any other businesswoman, doing 'just her job' and convincing herself that she is dealing with 'just her target' rather than a person.
She succeeds in contract killing better than any known assassin that ever existed and successfully ignores all feelings or emotions, knowing that they tend to make the "job" not go as planned.
So when a new contract comes in and the mark is a certain gang leader that caught Scarlett's eye, she couldn't resist venturing deeper into a world filled with illegal activities on a personal mission to find out why he has a price on his head. Although, what she finds in that world isn't quite what she expected.
Now, torn between duty and passion, Scarlett must decide if she pulls the trigger or if she becomes the target herself?
Who knows, maybe he might be the answer to her deepest desires.
Because her next target: Cayden Carlisle.

The culprit took in a deep, calming breath. "You may as well shoot me now, but just know that I am still going to kiss you."
By the time he grabbed her waist with one hand and her wrist, connecting to the hand holding the gun, with the other... she was lost. Completely gone. She never stood a chance. His smell, his mouth, his soft growling noises. They were more than enough to disarm her.
"I finally figured something out about you." He whispered, pulling her closer, trying to meld every part of her to him. "You display all your emotions through body language. In this case, your hand is betraying your mask."
Every word of his was chosen for maximum impact. No wasted syllables, no extra breaths. Just facts.
