"Thanks Jasmine. You were my last hope. I was considering just bringing Gracie to work with me, if you hadn't applied.'' I began. Both of us stood to shake hands. "You're a lifesaver.''

''As are you. You don't know how desperate I was myself,'' she replies, moving from the table and begins walking with me to the door.

''Then I guess we're both doctors,'' I joke. I wasn't sure if she got it based on the confused stare she was giving me. "You get it? Because, doctors save lives? Nevermind. You start Monday.'' I mumble, walking out of the cafe.

You're an idiot, Cole. 

~~~

Cole Archer is a heartbroken, twenty-two-year-old father to his beautiful daughter, Gracie. Due to Gracie's behavior with her previous nannies it has been hard to find a nanny that will last longer than a week. That is until he discovers Jasmine Grayson. She is an attractive, strong, and independent woman. Everything Cole needs in his life. 

Will she mend his broken heart?

Or is she nothing more than his daughter's nanny?

"You're my princess and I'm your prince," He said, smiling brightly. "That's cute. But why prince and princess?" I asked out of curiosity. "It's because princes and princesses always live happily ever after, and I want to live happily ever after, with you." He paused then continued, "Just like in those Disney movies, The knight in shining armor will come and save the princess, just remember when you're struggling in a situation or problem, I'll be that knight in shining armor to help you." I raised an eyebrow, "But it's not always the prince that is brave, even princesses have to be strong. When you can't solve your problem I will be there, if I can't solve my problem, you'll be there." I said smiling back at him. "Or we can solve our problems together like how couples are supposed to do," He added to what I said. He paused once again then held up his pinky finger then said, "Promise me you'll be my second and last?" I intertwined my pinky finger with him and replied, "Promise. Promise me you'll be my knight in shining armor?" He laid his forehead with mine then said, "Promise." He closed the space between us and in a matter of seconds, I can feel his lips touch mine.

Professor's Dark Desire [18+] - just as a warning this story contains themes of abuse, assault, and unhealthy relationships. If these topics are difficult for you, please read with caution because this story is definitely on the darker side of dark romance <3 ... "Tell me you little slut....." his hand moved from her thigh, nearing her soaking wet pussy. "Am I the first to touch you like this?" He paused, plunging his middle finger into her needy cunt. She let out a piercing cry as his finger grazed her tight hole. "Fucking answer me" he roared thrusting his middle finger in and out of her whilst devouring her clit, a feeling she was so unfamiliar to. He looked up at her, watching her helpless little face plead for mercy. "Answer......" She couldn't form a sentence "I-......" her eyes widened when he took her clit between his teeth as punishment for not answering. "Maybe......" Alejandro hated her response, it triggered him. He thrusted another finger into her earning another cry. "Who?" He demanded an answer as he angrily fingered her inexperienced pussy. Thrusting in and out in deep strokes, earning a guttural moan each time. "I'll fucking kill him" he spoke huskily, moving up to her jaw, harshly kissing it, still ploughing his fingers inside of her. "Tell me Yara, who the fuck has touched you like this" he bellowed, using his free hand to squeeze her jaw in a menacing grip, making her hiss. He withdrew his hand mid-stroke, bringing his drenched fingers up to her and shoving them in her mouth, making her taste her own juices. "Does he make you this wet?" He dug his fingers deeper into the back of the throat. Inflaming her gag reflexes. She let out a muffled sob.....
