Mature
She needed a man.
Preferably one with $150,000 to spare.
Alexandria Maria McKenzie stared into the small homemade campfire in the middle of her living room floor and wondered if she had
officially lost her mind. The piece of paper in her handheld all the qualities she dreamed her soul mate would possess. Loyalty. Intelligence.
Humour. A strong sense of family and a love for animals. A healthy income.
Most of her ingredients were already cooking. One hair from a male family member-her brother was still pissed. A mix of scented herbs-
probably to give him a tender side. And the small stick for...well, she hoped that didn't mean what she feared.
With a deep breath, she threw the list into the silver bucket and watched it burn. She felt like an idiot for creating a love spell, but she had
no options left and little to lose. As the owner of an eclectic bookstore in a trendy upstate New York college town, she figured she was
allowed some quirks. Like sending up a prayer to Earth Mother for the perfect man.

Nicholas Ryan had a fortune at his fingertips.
But to get the one thing he wanted, he needed a wife.
Nick believed in many things. Working hard to accomplish a goal. Controlling anger and resorting to reason when a moment became
confrontational. And creating buildings. Buildings that were solid, yet aesthetically beautiful. Smooth angles and sharp lines blending mutually.
Bricks and concrete and glass attesting to the solidity that people craved in ordinary life. The short moment of wonder when a person looks
upon the final creation for the first time. All of these things made sense to him.
Nick did not believe in love everlasting, marriage, and family. These things made no sense, and he had decided not to incorporate such
societal themes into his life.

In the darkness of their desires, they're locked in a battle for control. Who will bend? Who will break? The air between them crackles with tension, and every word is thick with meaning, loaded with temptation. **"I don't play for keeps," she whispers, her fingers trailing over his skin. "I take what I want, when I want. And tonight, that's you."** He smirks, leaning in closer, his breath hot against her ear. **"Then take me,"** he dares. **"But don't forget-*I'm not easy to keep.*"** Their passion burns hot, blurring the lines between lust and obsession, as their bodies and wills collide in a struggle for dominance. It's a dangerous game, but one they're both eager to play-an one where the stakes are higher than they ever imagined. This is no fairy tale. There are no rules. No limits.

"Having sex won't make me less mad at you," I reprimanded, knowing it didn't matter what I said because I wanted nothing more than for him to make love to me. I wanted to feel his hands in my hair, against my arms and legs, down my hips, the inside of my thighs, gently around my throat, toying with my lips. I needed him to understand and see every inch of my body and then to still crave it. I needed this to go right for once, just to prove to myself the first time wasn't how it's always going to be. "True," He murmured against my ear, sucking a tender spot on my neck, lapping at it as my arms circled his head, pulling at the brunette strands of hair.

"You have everything you ever wanted. I show you I love you, I tell you everyday too. Moneys not a problem, you have no spending limit. I don't understand. I give you everything!" He muttered angrily, slurring over his words but by now he'd sober up enough for me to make out what he was saying clear enough. I opened my mouth to speak but before I could say anything he beat me to it, "I give you everything. Don't I? Are you not happy?,-" he turned around, his eyes locking with mine. They were red and full of tears, it broke my heart seeing him this way. "Or is it not enough? Am I not enough?" his voice was cracking, and a single tear slid down his cheek. He quickly wiped it away and snuffed his nose, blinking the remaining tears away, his expression going cold. "and this is how you repay me.-" he scoffed, "-I can't believe you, you whore! Get out of my house! Now!"He yelled in a tone I'd only heard him use towards those he despised or worked for him. I couldn't believe this was happening. I quickly wiped the tears that were fogging up my vision and walked towards him. I extended my hand to touch his shoulder, but before my hand could even get near him he grabbed my wrist, harshly. "Nate please, let me talk!" I begged, looking into his emerald eyes filled with anger, pain, and hatred. "I said GET OUT!" He screamed jerking me towards the door, his hold on my wrist was tight making me wince. I felt something trickle down my arm reminding me of my gash from earlier. "Nathaniel stop your hurting me." I dug at his hand with my nails using my free hand trying to loosen his hold. He let go of my wrist and opened the door in front of us. -- One random night, Lilians life turns upside down after she's accused of adultery.
