We first met in a small bar, by the Phnom Penh riverside. He was blatantly checking me out in my lacy red dress and I was doing the same, raking my eyes over that sharp jaw and broad shoulders.
And even with my bad eyesight, I could tell that his eyes were such a deep, dark brown that they looked black, but I didn't dare stare into them for too long. If I had, I would've seen the look in his eyes, and known to stay away.

Tides of love (Complete)
PhumPeem are getting married and Tan is thrilled. He arrives a month before the occasion to help his friends in the preparations. He meet Fang for the first time and he is swooned. Tan felt the sweat on their still intertwined hands and pulled back. "Why don't you stick around and see for yourself? You might just find out I'm more of a helper than a troublemaker." "We'll see about that, N'Tan. You're under my surveillance now." Fang teased him, narrowing his eyes at him. Phum's eyes narrowed as he studied Tan, his lips pressing into a thin line. "Curious, huh? Look, Tan, Fang's not the easiest guy to deal with. He's got his walls up, and I'm not sure I want someone making things harder for him." Fang watched him for a moment, his hand lingering for just a second longer before he pulled away. "You're lucky I'm too soft on you," Tan brought Fang a plate of food without Fang needing to ask. "They're like an old married couple," Peem added with a grin, earning a chuckle from the group. "Fang, stop acting cute. It won't work on me." "Who's acting?" Fang countered, his words slightly slurred but his grin unrelenting. "I'm just being me. And you like me, don't you, P'Tan?" "Answer me sincerely," He started "Do you like me?" "Yes, I do," He mumbled quietly.Complete
I hate that I love you
"What do you want?" I snap, slamming my locker shut. His casual smirk, messy dark hair, tan skin, strong arms, eerie storm-grey eyes... the list could go on of things I notice- that I shouldn't notice- about him. "Oh, I want a lot of things." He inspects a speck of dirt on his arm. "I'm sure you've heard the news?" His eyes flicker back up to meet mine. Does he know? No. He can't. So I roll my eyes. He can't know that I know, that I would do anything to be the first one he tells. "You'll have to be more specific." I mutter, trying to look casual as I inspect my nails. "Well, it involves a certain title of the swim team," He offers. I shrug. "So you got captain. That's cool. And what do I have to do with that?" He narrows his eyes, trying to read my expression. Unfortunately for him, I have mastered the art of hiding my emotions. "This is what I wanted to talk to you about. During English," He fiddles with his sweater sleeve. "I recall you trying to talk to me," I frown. "Well, I..." He swallows, seeming... nervous? "I'm not doing too great... subject wise. And if I don't pick up my ass soon, I might be forced to quit." He rubbed the back of his neck, making his shirtsleeve slide up his arm to reveal a strong bicep. Not that I notice. I narrow my eyes. "And what do I get back in return?" I cross my arms. I'm going to be late for the bus if we don't hurry. He studies my face. "Name your price." He mirrored my position. I sigh. Money... but I don't need it. Popularity... but I don't want it. I meet his gaze steadily. He lifts his chin, the tiniest bit, but it doesn't intimidate me. I square my shoulders and stand up straight. He's only just taller than me. "Stop pretending to be perfect." All rights reserved. Cover art by me :) but will probably be redone soon

"No need to be afraid. You know I won't hurt you, right?" He said, inching closer to me. "I just want to see you're beautiful blue eyes." He touched my cheek, making me flinch. He laughed. Why was he doing this to me? "Do I make you nervous?" He looked at me with his dark brown eyes that look black. He leaned down and kissed my cheek. "I'll see you tomorrow."Complete

Seduce & Destroy
"Oh, you don't need to find her. She'll find you." "Are you done eye-fucking me?" - He asked with that smirk on his face. I looked him in the eyes and smirked myself. "No." - I answered and once again let my eyes wander on his body. "I can't believe I said to a woman that defends me on the court that she's an omelette." - I muttered out while pinching the bridge of my nose. "Go on a dinner with me." - I said in a raspy voice. She looked up at me and shook her head. "No." - She is stubborn I'll tell you that. "Go on a dinner with me." - I said closer to her lips but not kissing her. She gently shook her head and whispered a quiet no. I kissed her neck again and gently sucked and asked a third time. I never had to work to get a woman go on a date with me. "Go on a dinner with me, please?" - I licked the spot I sucked on before the question and she finally crumpled. "Okay." - She whispered. I smiled against her neck and drew back.Complete
DIFFERENT SHADES OF HIM (BOOK-ONE)
"And what you tried today," I winced in pain as he held my nape from behind before turning me around. I peered up at him in fear while he stared down at me with his intimidating eyes. His eyes were thundering. Leaning down further, he made my pulse rise. Being so close to him- a man, no less, I could see the clear spec of blackness inside his dark eyes. They were so raw and so dark and so piercing. "I would suggest you not try it again," he added, his bottomless brooding eyes burned into mine, "because no matter how hard you are going to try, you are never going to get out of here without my permission. Away from my sight," he vowed in a menacing tone that had no expression at all. "Don't get your hopes high." Tears split down my eyes while he studied my face. "You like escaping. Don't you?" He explained to me in a condescending tone. "Let's see how you are going to try now with my eyes on you- all the time." "You can try all you want, but you can never break my spirits!" I looked at him, directly in his eyes without blinking. His eyes were still focussed on my face as he slowly stepped around me. "Do you mean it?" His voice was strangely soft, "Maybe I cannot. But.. " Adding to his intimidating aura. Shaur. "No.. " I whispered. "I can break him." His gaze met mine in an instant. "You seem to have forgotten your own mental capacity of understanding certain situations. Let me refresh it for you." His eyes seemed to burn holes at me. "I'd rather not get blood on your dress."

"But the only thing you need to remember is that this beautiful woman," his hand rested possessively on my shoulder, "is Eleanor Morozov." His eyes swept over the room, challenging anyone to dispute his claim. "But most importantly, she is mine." "Every word that comes out of her mouth," he says, his voice echoing through the cavernous room, "will hold as much power and meaning as my own. You disrespect her," he pauses, his gaze sweeping over each man, "you die. You look down at her, you die. You think of her in any way but as my equal, you die, and the process will be... unpleasant." Vlad takes his seat beside me, his hand resting casually on the arm of the chair. "Now that we have that cleared up, let's continue what we're here for."Complete
Hate War
His cold eyes moved from my face to all over my white lace dress with a clenched jaw. I felt weak in my knees but I was successful in keeping my brave face. "Nina is that you? You are looking so beautiful" he said while looking at me. I blushed I was still feeling burning holes in my back I gulp down nervously. "Have some drink?" he said while taking a glass from the waiter. "No she is leaving," said the harsh voice next thing I know champagne was all over my dress staining it and making me gasp. Before I could react he gripped my hand & dragged me near the pool area where no one could see us. I snatched my hand away from his tight grip "Why the hell you ruined my dress" I half yelled. "What the fuck you are doing at my party looking like a slut" he yelled angrily while pinning me to the wall. Listening to his words my blood boiled. "Let me guess you came here to ruin my mood by showing your ugly face," he said with an angry smirk letting me know his hate. "Stop giving yourself so much importance. I'm here for your mom. My face may be ugly but ugly souls like you are not even worthy of my life's single second" I said angrily and pushed him away from me but he didn't let me go away. "I can hide my ugly soul beside this face but ugly ducklings like you carry their ugliness which can't even be hidden by beautiful dresses because they stain everything around them with their ugliness" his words were hurting my soul. I won't give him the privilege to see my tears. With all my power I pushed him making him stumble and fall into the pool. "Happy birthday," saying that I tried to walk away with a victory smirk but he didn't let me go. Things he did to me after that still send a shiver down my spine. One thing was clear that day I would never want to see his face again in this life. But I don't know why the hell I am standing in front of him in church wearing a wedding gown.

Foreign ~ AMBW~ Dean Fanfic
DΞΔN "The names Dean baby, what's yours?" A voice whispered in my ear, while pressing their body against mine. "Unavailable." I respond and gyrate my hips harder into him. "Damn, Why you lying girl? Give me a chance, I promise it'll be worth your time." He whispers again and licks my earlobe causing shiver to run through my body. I turned around to see an asian guy, an attractive one at that. He had short black hair styled up and cute pink lips. Did I mention his smile was to die for? "Hm you're cute, maybe I am available." I whispered back, stepping on my tip toes to lick his earlobe. "Wanna get out of here then?" He smirked "Slow down there mister, I said maybe" I teased. Taking my hand and running it down the front of his t-shirt, making my way to the front of his pants. "Shit, you're a tease." He said and grabbed my ass pulling me closer. I grabbed him by the belt loops of his jeans and pulled him in the direction of the exit. He took me to his hotel and on the way there he told me he was from Korea and was here in Cali for some business. I left before he woke up...I know a complete bitch move. But I left a note...it read.. Let's do it again sometime...Dean. ~NComplete
