A guarded time physicist and a covert assassin posing as her research partner are drawn into a forbidden romance when an ancient, sentient relic begins unraveling time itself. ____ Leonor Reid is a brilliant university professor of temporal mechanics at the University of Bayhan City in ancient Atlantis.

A week of passion, never to be spoken of again, until he reappears a month later as her new research partner on a project around an ancient temple funded by the Atlantean nobility, also known as the sky gods. Ander is charming, disciplined, and far too composed for a man working in academia and excavation sites. What Leonor doesn't know is that he is not just a professor. He is an assassin, embedded in the project under orders to investigate a temple said to house a sentient relic. What neither of them expects is that the temple holds an Enunori, a relic and being of memory and will, capable of traversing timelines, crossing into lost futures, and rewriting destiny itself. As they descend deeper into the Enunori's timestream, the past begins to bleed into the present. But time is not their only enemy. What Ander doesn't know is that Leonor is changing, and she may be the very thing he was sent to destroy. Because something ancient is stirring inside her, and she may be the anomaly that was never meant to exist. To survive, they must break the curse of sky god violence. To love, they must unravel time and challenge the order of all things. ---- The Assassin of Atlantis is a fanfic based on The Assassin of Time by @RedPetal49.

Her Gift
His eyes drop to my lips before his mouth descends, capturing mine in an all consuming, over powering kiss and I moan almost instantly. He captures the sound in his mouth, pressing his lips firmly against my own, possessing, teasing and coaxing more gasps from within me. I'd never felt a kiss like this before; I twist my tongue against his and hear a deep groan of approval in the back of his throat. He grabs me and pulls me into his body, pressing my chest against his own, and I take the next step by swinging my leg over and sitting astride him. I feel him sweep my hair up in a firm but gently grip, moving it from my neck to free the skin for his mouth to lower, to nip and kiss along my shoulder. **** He was supposed to be another birthday gift. She was supposed to be another human. Guess they were both wrong. **** Androids were for the service of humans... that's why Rae's father bought her one for her 8th birthday. What she got however: was a beautifully sculpted man, who seemed to be as unlike a robot, as a robot could be. What he got: A kind hearted girl that had him... feeling. Robots didn't have 'feelings' Together, they try to figure out his uniqueness; why would his creator up and vanish right after building him? To add to his problems; when Rae ages, his feeling for her.... change. But can a robot and a human ever be together? © All rights reserved. LittleThingsInLife.
