"I love you so much." Her words are chopped in between kisses and I soak in all the attention she's giving me. 

"Love." I say breathlessly. "Isn't a strong enough word to describe what I feel about you."

~~~

 Sage Polyester, a 27-year-old independent and hardworking woman who's made a name for herself in the clothing industry. Her clothing brand is famous, and she's known for her dominance in the field. 

 Xan Kingman, a 31-year-old cocky billionaire who's notorious for his playboy lifestyle and ruthless behavior. He's widely recognized as the most successful CEO in the country, as well as his dominance in the field. 

Sage and Xan have always been at each other's throats. He's the cocky, self-assured businessman everyone loves to hate, and she's the fierce, no-nonsense competitor who never backs down. They've tolerated each other for years going to great lengths in order to avoid each other, but when a game-changing opportunity demands their collaboration, they reluctantly agree to join forces. As they navigate the ups and downs of working together, sparks fly in more ways than one. Is the hatred they have for each other genuine, or is it all an act?

Get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with sizzling chemistry, unexpected twists, and a love story that'll leave you breathless. The Act will have you flipping through the pages, unable to put it down. Are you ready to be swept away?

"With the hand that was around her waist, I pulled her towards me and put the other hand around her neck. I kissed her passionately, as if my life depended on it. At first she was stiff and surprised but after I bit her lip, she let me in. She ran her fingers trough my hair and we fought for dominance, juicy and vigorously exploring each other. We parted with heavy sighs and I leaned my forehead against hers. With our eyes closed and our lips silent, we talked about everything that kiss meant to us. She stroked my cheek and her angelic touch made light shine through my cracks. I took her hand and we plunged into the night blue.
