"You have a heart monitor." He squints his eyes at the little machine attached to my chest and starts to stride towards me. This is when I remember how tiny I am compared to the average human being and straighten up my back as he places his hand on the back of my chair and swivels it to face him. He plops down onto the black, cushioned seat to the right of mine.
"Yeah, and I have a taser in my bag. Your point?" I scoot to the edge of my chair, his hand still gripping onto the back, and try and sit as far away as possible while trying to give off my most terrifying "leave me the frickity frack alone, you two-faced hellion" face. He goes from my eyes to the device then quickly shakes his head.
"Sorry, I got distracted, what about a taser?" He slowly scoots farther from me while taking his hand off of my chair.
'Damn right, you lean panini, back away. I'm scary.' My smirk slowly appeared.
"You're drinking with a heart monitor on."
"Yes, sir." I nod in reply while draining the contents of my drink.
"ALCOHOL with a heart monitor. Are you insanely stupid?" Hazel eyes whips his head towards me, the anger in his face VERY evident.
"OH, hate to disappoint you, bud, but this is a Shirley Temple. Ginger ale and grenadine," I motion for Nic and pay him for the drink and leave with a goodbye before turning to Hazel eyes again, "Plus I don't believe that would be ANY of your business." I start to get up and hop off the chair, pushing my black, loose pantlegs down to cover my prosthetic foot.
Mia Foxx, way in over her head, decides to join a dating website. More like she's forced to but that's besides the point. 'Looking_For_Love' is her username but only because the continuation of it "in all the wrong places" doesn't fit.
Then just like that her saviors appear, proving to her that love can be found even when looking in all the wrong places. The plural is not a grammatical error- Two men message her under one profile in hopes of gaining her attention. Intrigued, Mia agrees to go on a date with the half-brothers just to see if she has it in her to partake in such taboo.
Can she be everything they crave and more?

We were at a stop light just blocks away from the club when Cole murmured, "Chinese fire drill." And then a devilish plan jumped into action.
Nico, being ever so collected and cool, took the driver's seat and continued on driving once the light turned green. The other one had opened the door of the back and bent himself inside the small space. Instead of buckling himself up, Cole got on all fours above my body, forcing me to press myself into the door.
"Hey there gorgeous," He smirked down at me as he planted a knee between my legs.
"Wh-What-"
"Shh..." His head bent down and hazel eyes captivated me into silence. I could see them as cars passed by us, momentarily shining their lights into our car. They were more green around the edges, reminding me of fresh cut grass in the spring-
What am I thinking?!
"Shh, my little Mia, stop resisting." Cole's eyes burned into mine for a second and then his head bent even lower to my collarbone. Something wet ran across the protruding bone at the base of my neck and I jolted from the strange sensation. And then I realized it was his tongue when he placed little nips all over the bone and then traveled up to my ear.
"S-stop..."
He chuckled darkly, "You don't want me to."
But I did. So why couldn't I say so?
