He was wanted by many
She was poor
He kept running his breaths never ragged.
She kept cleaning, not stopping until the house was spotless.
He just wanted to be free, stopping to grab yet another sketch of himself tapered to the forest tree.
"They just can't get my nose right" he muttered rolling his eyes at the pitiful drawing.
She just wanted to be rich. Filling the water bucket for the fourth time to wash the grimy floors
" This is so not worth a pound an hour" she complained.
"this is so worth it" he huffed eyeing the crown in his hand before dissapearing into the trees.

He strides closer, his eyes focused intently on me. I stumble backwards, feeling the cold wall press against my back. He stops inches away from me, forcing me to stare at his dark brooding eyes. I was enthralled by them, luring me in. "What are you doing?" My throat went dry as I spoke, his figure closing in. His scent made it even harder to think straight, a mix of fresh pine and smoky wood was all I could breath in. He doesn't answer and leans in closer to me, I could've gotten lost in his eyes, he tilted his head as the light shadowed the side of his face. "You amuse me, Abby" He whispered. His lips grazing my cheek. I stood there, stunned by our proximity. He pulled back slowly, staring, unflinching. "Don't go looking too deep, you'll regret it once you find what I'm hiding" I heard the door close, and he was gone once I regained my sanity. *** He was fire to my soul, his touch an electric cold shiver to my skin, and his eyes were the most troubled I could ever find. The way his eyes gazed at me, they held forbidden secrets. I was curious to what made him so closed off to the world, so twisted and cruel. I was drawn to him than anyone I've ever encountered, a man with a brutal past and a forgotten heart. They told me to stay away, but I didn't listen. They said my curiosity would kill me, then let that be the end of me. *UNDER EDITING* *READ AT YOUR OWN RISK*Complete
Her Innocent Heart (Masoom Dil)
🎬 Kidnapped Romance YouTube Channel: UCb0EOwy75EU8UQVbvkI-H8A ⚠️ An innocent beauty... and a famished beast. She was running. Branches slapped her cheeks, the gnarled root of an old tree suddenly caught her foot- She crashed to the forest floor with a gasp. The pain shot through her ankle like a blade, but she didn't stop. She pushed herself back up and ran again. A low-hanging branch snagged her veil-rip! Grazed her shoulder too. Still, she ran. Her breath came in broken gasps. She glanced over her shoulder. No one. Only the sound- Heavy thuds. Boots crushing dried leaves behind her. Her bare feet bled as she stepped on a brittle twig. She winced, stumbled, but didn't stop. Her heart was beating in her ears. Louder. Louder. She bit down on her lower lip, tasting blood. Suddenly- Thump! She crashed into something hard. "Ow!" she gasped and staggered back, thinking it was a tree. But it moved. A towering figure was in front. She froze. Then- "No!" she whimpered, trying to back away. Too late. A brutal tug on her hair jerked her head back. "Where to?" His voice was low and cold, his hand clenched tightly in her hair. "Leave me!" she screamed, struggling violently. He started dragging her. "Let go of me!" She fought back, landing a weak punch on his stomach. "Bitch," he spat. "Shut up before I loose all my patience with you." And then- He flung her up and threw her over his shoulder like a sack. In the moonlight, he looked some big bad Werewolf. "Put me down!" she cried, punching his back, clawing-but his skin felt like stone beneath her fingernails. He halted again. And dropped her. She hit the dry ground. Before she could crawl away, he knelt beside her- Then straddled her, his shadow engulfing hers. "No," she whispered, going deathly pale. Eyes wide. Lips trembling. Heart shattering inside her chest. An innocent beauty... A famished beast. ⚠️ This isn't just romance. It's survival. 🥇#1 in Spiritual - many times. AlhComplete
you're beautiful here
something i'd love to publish one day. after some hefty editing tho aha. intercept: Felix found himself very invested in Alice's daily visits. He was spending extra time getting ready in the morning. He had only a few inches of light brown wavy hair on top of his head and very little on the sides, yet he was spending his mornings making sure it laid in the perfect spot and looked just messy enough to act like he didn't care. He was setting out his clothes at night so that his jeans wouldn't have wrinkles in them. He was brushing his teeth for double as long as he normally would. He even invested in some floss. When he would go downstairs to Mugz, he would make sure to put on the cleanest Mugz sweater he had. He started sweeping more. Especially around the time she would be in, if only to be out in the lobby with her instead of having to talk over the counter. Alice was the same as always. She was very good at not showing an effect that his words had on her if she didn't want to. Any time she would say something suggestive or bold, Felix would find himself blushing or stuttering, but on the rare occasion that Felix would try to be as bold, she would just grin and laugh. It took him a while to ensure that she was laughing with him and not at his lousy attempts at banter.Complete

I tried to slip away, but he grabbed my wrists, pinning them down tightly. He pressed his hard body against me. I was aware of every inch of him that was touching me. "Don't think you can just leave. We're not done yet." My stomach tightened at his words, the desire inside burning for him. My damn body at war with my mind yet again. He slid his hand up to the edge of my shorts, slowly working it's way up as his mouth trailed small nips from my neck to my collar bone and lower, stopping only when he reached the fabric.

The Billionaire's Enchantment
"You can kiss my foot, Mr. Bennett," Flora retorted, turning sharply to leave. But Alex only smirked, unbothered by her defiance. In a flash, his hand closed around her waist, hauling her back against him and pinning her to the wall. A gasp tore from her lips as his tall frame towered over hers. Trapped between the man and the cold wall, she had nowhere to run. "What are you doing?" she demanded, her voice trembling at the dangerous glint in his eyes. "Fulfilling your wishes, my flower," Alex murmured, his voice husky with dark amusement. "Although I would have preferred if you had said your ass." Then, he slowly lowered himself before her, his gaze never breaking from hers. His lips curved into something wicked as he whispered, "I have never knelt for any woman before. Yet one word from you brings me to my knees, woman." *** Flora Roberts thought divorce would free her from the cold cruelty of Jayden Kensington and the suffocating grip of his powerful family. She was wrong. When she flees Rockville for a fresh start in Crestview, she collides with the one man more dangerous than her ex-husband-Alexander Bennett. Ruthless, magnetic, and impossibly dominant, Alexander wants her...and Alexander never takes no for an answer. Author's Note: Expect every trigger possible. This is a rewritten version of Billionaires: Father or Son.

The Swearing Contract |Completed|
"You really need to stop swearing Molly." "Psh. I'll stop cussing when someone offers me a million dollars." I barely noticed the man get up from his table. I was well aware that he was listening from where he sat, I just didn't know he was really paying attention. I just see him wipe his face with a napkin before he disappears from my peripheral vision.

"I'm prepared to offer you one million dollars, if that is, you remain abstinent from cursing for one solid year."Complete
