"Listen, It has nothing to do with you. Stay calm. Mind your own business," said Kano.
"I'm not a coward. Not like you or anyone else here. That girl needs my help. I'll rescue her. Stay here and watch how I'm going to save her," answered Kentaro as he stood up.
Everyone inside the inn was silent. No one spoke. All attention was on the strange man that had entered the inn moments ago. No one dared to look him in the eye. Yet, ignoring him wasn't possible; especially because of the bound girl that he dragged with him.
Since entering, Hisano begged Masuyo to let her go. He only answered to scold her.
Hisano's whimpers were heart breaking, but no one had the courage to say anything. Masuyo's savage appearance, especially the scar covering the left side of his face, stood as a warning to everyone. It warned them to stay away; he wasn't someone to mess with. He looked like death.
Hisano begged for Masuyo's mercy again. He spat back, "Shut the hell up girl. You're my property, nothing more. I can do whatever I want to you. Now be quiet. Otherwise, I'll have to kill you. You are messing with my head, and don't beg for mercy. I don't know what mercy is."
"Leave her alone, You bastard!" shouted Kentaro at Masuyo.
Masuyo didn't answer.
Kentaro shouted louder, "I said 'leave her alone!' Are you deaf?!"
This time Masuyo shouted," Are you talking to me idiot?! Do you have a death wish or something?!"
"You filthy bastard, let her go, or I will kill you!"
Cameron Cole has a plan.
After yet another relationship ends because of certain shortcomings-literally-Cameron decides it's time to swear off dating and focus her energy into her junior year at the University of Charlotte. There's an internship up for grabs and there's no way she's letting that slip through her fingers. But then she's goes and makes one impulsive mistake that changes everything.
Wesley Reed has it all.
As the golden boy of the Charlotte Colts football team, he's got the talent, the looks, and a future so bright it's practically blinding. Girls throw themselves at him, professors let things slide, and the world bends to his will.
But when a required freshmen paper threatens his eligibility, the two are brought together in a sick twist of academic fate. Cameron can't get him out of her head and Wesley isn't making it any easier with his cocky smirk and insistent charm. Their arrangement teeters on the edge of disaster as unresolved tension and late-night study sessions give way to a steamy, no-strings-attached deal.
But in the game of love and lust, someone always has to loose-and the stakes have never been higher.
