"My apologies, Sir. I'm aware I'm not usually this um...underdressed."
"It's no matter to me, Grace, I hardly expect you to be wearing a business suit while swimming, and if it's modesty you're concerned about, well..." he couldn't help but rake his eyes over her body. "You certainly have nothing to be embarrassed about."
Oliver finds Grace alone in his pool, late at night.

Drowning
I couldn't answer him, and I could tell that he knew what he was doing. Emmett already had me so far under, making me believe that I had control over what has occurred these past few months. He had his hold on me, and he was only letting us sink into deeper waters. "I think you know how I feel, Grace." He told me, forcing his eyes on mine, making it impossible for me to respond. "I love you." His light, clear blue eyes were all I could see, reminding me of the lake, the sky, and of him, all at the same time. And as I looked into those blue irises, and whispered back my response as he brought his mouth closer to mine, I found that for the first time, I was alright with drowning, as long as it was Emmett pulling me under.Complete
The great mistake
That very moment I felt my heart pounding and I couldn't seem to say anything. "Hey Alison, are you still there?" He asked. "Ummm... Yes yes... Look Josh I'll call you later. Right now I'm really tired" I said hanging up the call. I kept on thinking about Joshua all through the night before nature dawned on me.Complete

Hidden Truths
Book #2 of Dueling Desires series It all started with a dare. Of course, it did. "Come on, Lemi. I dare you," Grace grinned, nudging me at the party. "I bet you wouldn't last five minutes in a room with him. He'd drive you crazy." "Please," I scoffed, rolling my eyes. "He's not that bad. Besides, I've seen worse." Grace arched an eyebrow, mischief dancing in her eyes. "I don't know. He's Aiden Finn. The guy has a way of getting under people's skin." I found myself standing by the bar, sitting next to the one person I had no business approaching. Aiden didn't even glance up when I sat beside him, completely focused on his phone. Typical. "You gonna keep pretending I'm not here?" I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. He finally looked up, slow and deliberate, and when our eyes met, there was that trademark smirk. "Didn't realize you were that desperate for my attention, Tsukumo." Ugh. That tone. Smug, infuriating, and annoyingly attractive-if you were into that kind of thing. Which I was not. "I'm just here to make sure your ego stays in check," I shot back, crossing my arms. "Not everything's about you, Finn." He chuckled, and for a second, I almost forgot why I found him so irritating. "You sure about that?" he said, leaning closer. His voice dropped to a low murmur, the kind that made my heart skip for reasons I'd rather not admit. "Because it looks like you've been watching me all night." I rolled my eyes, trying to ignore the way his words sent a shiver down my spine. "Please. I don't know why anyone falls for your act." Aiden's gaze lingered, like he was trying to figure me out, leaning back with that casual confidence I hated. "Maybe they know something you don't." I raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah? And what's that?" He locked eyes with me, his smirk fading into something more serious, more intense. "That you're just like me. You're scared of letting anyone in." For a second, I froze. His words like he could see straight through me. But no.Complete
