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.

A Masked Night
Suddenly, she gasped. Her heart skipped a beat. She had bumped into someone, spilling his drink. "I'm so sorry!" she apologized quickly. "Well, that means you owe me a drink," Ethan chuckled. "What?" Natasha blinked, confused. "I said you owe me a drink. You spilled my drink," he explained with a mischievous grin. "I just spilled a little from your cup, sir," Natasha said. "Sir?" Ethan laughed. "Yes, sir! How are you allowed to walk around with that?" Natasha said, trying to cover her awkwardness. "You know what? You're right. I do owe you," Ethan smirked. Natasha walked up to the beer stand, and Ethan followed. She ordered a shot for him. He scoffed and then rejected the cognac shot, offering instead to buy her a drink. Natasha felt a bit uncomfortable but remembered Mia's words-"have fun." She didn't want to seem like a nerd. They chatted for a while until... "What's your name?" Ethan finally asked "Huh?" Natasha was shocked. She hadn't expected anyone to ask for her name. Nervously, she took a shot she had been avoiding.
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.

Only For You
"And lo, the beast looked upon the face of beauty, and beauty stayed his hand. And from that day forward, he was as one dead." Carl Denham ***** As Marco and i approach the table, Nick comes up behind us. I walk to my usual place next to Marco. Nick walks to his usual place as well and holds out the chair on his right. "You sit here from now on" he announces for everyone to hear, as he looks at me. "I am fine where i am thank you very much" I respond. I remember very well how last time he didn't want me there because Rhea was here. No thanks. You can save it for her. "I wasnt asking" He says drawing unnecesary attention to us with everyone here. "Well good. Because i'm never sitting there, ever! Isnt that Rhea's chair? You made that very clear last time" i retort. I know am being petty infront of everyone, but i dont care. He started it. I would rather sit on the floor than occupy his "mistress' "chair Nick surprises me by smiling. I expected him to get angry or something, especially that i'm defying him in front of everyone. So now i'm not sure whether to feel relieved or scared. He walks up to me and my eyes widen, What is he up to? I'm already sitting down, but he pulls my chair out effortlessly and pulls me up. I stand up in shook and watch him carry the chair i was occupying next to his. He pulls out the one Rhea occupied and replaces it with the one he just took... "There, you can either sit here or on my lap, those are your only options, its up to you" he says turning to look at me again with a poker face. No expression. Zero. I turn to look at everyone at the table, and they are all looking at me expectantly. I look back at Nick and he is the only other person standing. "Shall i choose for you?" He smirks finally. ***** #1 in Lovers (20/12/2021) #1 in New (24/03/2022) #1 in Passion (15/07/2022) Books by Bellamerce Book 1: Only For You Book 2 :When Stars Align Book 3: Fire On Fire Book 4: Diamond Hearts Book 5: A Crystal LoveComplete
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

Loving The Wrong Guy I ✔
His eyes had started to see me differently. That desire I saw on his eyes on the lift scared me a bit though. I never noticed the blackness of his eyes. Black is a rare color. He had the rare colored eye which shone at moments like when we kissed. And it was starting to drown me in them. But when my head processed to what I was getting into, I pushed him away. Black means danger. It signifies negative connotations. Death. Mystery. Darkness is black. I fear the darkness. Daylight brings life. Black is death. But my thoughts changed the next moment. The shine on his eyes forced me not to see this part. After Darkness daylight peeks from my window. After each nightly the hope of best next day. After night you wake up fresh, to carry out a new day.Complete

I stand, sliding myself around the island and invading his personal space by basically crushing him into a hug. My arms wrap around his torso tightly while I stare up at him, a smile tugging at the corners of my lips. His arms capture me, wrapping around my shoulders as his eyes flick between mine. "I really enjoyed last night. Every part of it." I tell him honestly. "Good. Me too." His head leans down into me, pecking my lips with a gentle kiss before he pulls away smiling, his dimples on show. "Do you know how fucking sexy you look right now?" I chuckle before breaking free, stepping back and spinning around so Chase can see me fully. "Fuck. Come here." His hands grip my neck, steadily pulling my head into him as his lips crash onto mine. His tongue slips in my mouth and I feel myself moan slightly at the feeling in my stomach from his touch. He suddenly grips my bare ass underneath his shirt and I squeal. "Hey!"

Which by the way, looks so fucking good on you." *** Dual POV 18+ Mature scenes Strong languageComplete
