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.

HOW TO DRESS | JAMES POTTER
"We don't belong together...you deserve someone better. I can't be with you anymore, we're not a good match," you sniffle and James resists the urge to kiss your tears away. Beside your head, his hands clench into fists against the wooden walls. "Say it to my face then, look into my eyes and tell me you don't love me anymore - that you don't want me anymore," "James..." You muster up the courage but your voice still comes out, somewhat, shaky, "I-I don't want to be with you anymore," his expression remains steely and cold, the fierce glint of resolve in his eyes, unrelenting, "I don't love you anymore..." "I don't, at least, make you feel good?" "No." He doesn't respond, instead, he keeps you pressed against the wall and manoeuvres his face to rest beside your ear, his husky voice weakening your knees "Are you sure about that?" he snakes his hands around your waist to press his fingers into your lower back. Under his touch, you suppress a whimper of relief as his massaging motions ease some strain in your back. [nsfw oneshot]Complete
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.

"Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry , it's my fault" I apologized. His gray eyes match the color of a storm. His ebony black hair was styled to perfection. His three piece tailored suit screamed MONEY!

What is that supposed to mean?!. "We common people , are doing just fine" I snapped. "Disgusting!" He said again.
