"Adrian was bad news, and that wasn't good for me. He wasn't good for me. More than ever, he made my defenses rise higher than I ever thought possible yet, I couldn't seem to shake him. He was like an addiction. Every part of common sense screamed at me to run, to avoid him. To do whatever it took. It told me to not consume what he was made of but, my brain seemed to whisper, He's all yours. Take him. Use him. Do bad things with him. And I just couldn't resist. Feeling his touch against my skin, his perfectly full lips taunting mine, seeing his haughty gray eyes flare up at something that challenged him; he was out of control and so over-the-edge, beyond the point of no return, and yet I was drawn to him, like a magnet. I felt danger, and I should have been fighting my way away from it. 

Only, I was moving towards it, and its name was Adrian."

"You have no idea how badly I want to make love to you," he responds with a shake of his head. "I love you so much," he continues and my heart melts. "I love you," I whisper back. "Okay, I'm going to make love to you now, Angel. It will hurt a little, so let me know if it hurts too much," he says and leans down to kiss me. "I'll be gentle," he tells me. Keeping his eyes locked on mine he shifts his hips forward slightly and enters inside of me. My mouth widens as he enters, and I feel a slight pinch.

(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right. Her and her best friend, Aviary, lived together in a cute little apartment off the central part of the city, yearning to create new memories and important moments. Amelia always lived for the moments, taking in every little detail and savoring it like it was her favorite meal. She was an optimist, hoping to change peoples lives with her dreams. James Vallette was a 34-year-old CEO, building his company from dirt with the help of his brother. He was a realist, not really having time to deal with dreams or even love. He knew this the night he laid eyes on Amelia. It was only casual; what harm could a one-night stand do? Oh yeah, he's her dad's boss.

It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together.

It was so quick she barely registered it. "Ever cummed?" She moved closer, leaning over his desk. "Wanting to keep pounding and pounding into a tight wet cunt?"

"How many men have you sucked since me?" He asked firmly. His tone may have been calm but the way his fingers flexed in me said more. "Oh come on Atti. You know I don't go that far." A Mischievous smile played on my lips as I looked at him through my lashes. "Is this your way of saying I'm special?" He dryly responded. He was so irritated I loved it. It's like he sensed my taunts when his fingers left me and wrapped around my throat. "What makes you think I won't kill them all?" I couldn't help but moan. His pressure on my neck had me scooting closer to him, wanting to feel as one. My fingers tangle in his curls, pulling him towards me. "You are special.
