"What," he let out breathily, closing his eyes then opening them again as he continued. "Do you think you're doing, Ms. Newton?" he asked, his eyes holding the same guarded glint.

"The scar," she said, only to have the male beside her turn into a statue.

"It's...your face...you-"

But Nova didn't get to complete her sentence for it was unclear what happened the exact next second.

One moment she was being pushed; the second she was being pressed against a wall - the wall beside the door.

Eyes furrowed and hands trying to move, she figured out that she was in no state of getting away from him.

"Derek, w-"

"Shush..." he stopped her, mid-sentence.

-

Nova Newton is perfect at everything she does, she has everything you could wish for. The thing that she wanted the most was a placement in the MI-6 and she earned it on her own by studying day and night and finally getting a recommendation from her university. 

What she never really wanted was a neighbour with a questionable past. And for that same person to be her boss? But she is to work with him under a ruse and have a fake engagement with him, through which she gets to learn what exactly it is that is questionable from his past.

"What are you doing?" He glances up at me through his glasses, his bored tone sending a jolt through me as I sit on his lap. I know he's a god at this 'poker face' game, but he needs to realise that his body always tells a different story-like how hard he's gripping my thigh right now and how hard he is beneath me. Yet, I can't ignore the power he exudes. There's this strange, dominating energy about him that makes me feel small as if I am a rat being cowered back into a hole.

June, 2, 2024: #1 in Action-Romance "If you choose to leave, I won't stop you cause I know that would be a sensible decision." He moved even closer to her, encircling her in his arms, her eyes shut at the electrifying sensation that enveloped her, "But I hope you'll stay." He whispered in her ears. A lone tear escaped her eye as she heard his pain stricken words. "I am scared" She confessed, her voice trembling. "I will never let anything happen to you." He assured her, caressing her cheeks. Silence settled upon the room as their gazes remained locked and he leaned forward, placing his lips gently upon her's. An unknown warmth filled her body and instinctively her arms wrapped around his neck, drawing him closer. He reciprocated, pulling her body closer to his and deepening the kiss. He kissed her like there was no tomorrow - passionately. Only when their breaths became ragged did he finally release her, resting his head against hers. The only sound that resonated in the room was of their heavy breaths until Scarlett whispered, "I'll never leave." ___________________________________________ Markus Hayes, A man you don't want to be up against.

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.

They cheered and high-fived as I stood in front of them, glaring. "Better not be something bad!" I blurted, making them snap out of their cheering. They looked at me with a sinister smirk. The smirk where you know their up to something. Something bad. - Meet Jade Williams. Your average girl in every single way.

He's basically a emotionless, fit brick dressed up in leather. Just your typical bad boy, right? Her life changes from late nights on Netflix to possibly going out to parties because of two guys.

*SLOWLY BEING EDITED* Zane had a special mission to accomplish. No one could find out that he's undercover. No one. But with those hazel eyes and her smart mouth he couldn't stay away from her. She was making him feel things he never knew it was possible. Yet bringing her into his world was dangerous especially because of her sudden connection to his case. Katherine has a baggage full of insecurities and trust issues. She never had an official boyfriend and being 24 that's socially unacceptable. The danger those grey eyes emit should scare her away. He was trouble and she knew that but she couldn't help it. The attraction she feels towards him is scaring her. Is it worth taking the risk? ........ "Can you cook?" "I can" "Good, what about laundry and cleaning?" I nodded. "Fuck Angel, you're like the perfect woman and you still want me to be your friend" He joked and found myself laughing. "Because I am the perfect housewife?" I asked arching an eyebrow. "No, because you are the perfect combination of smart, beautiful, and skillful." I blushed at that and I wanted to look away but one of his hands stopped me and turned my face towards him. "Get used to hearing compliments because you're going to hear them often in the future. Now, about my offer..." He gave me an expectant look. I thought for a while. I still wasn't sure it was a good idea but I liked working at the shop and still wanted to work there for a little while. "Alright, let's do it," I said. "Now? Here? Damn Angel, first the fiancé thing, and now this. For someone inexperienced, you sure move fast" He joked and I laughed. *Warning ⚠️* Strong language, triggering topics such as body shaming, depression...
