"Black looks good on you, Acacia"
My breath hitched as I gradually turned around only to see Damien leaning against the door, smirking at my lingerie-clad figure. His hands tucked deep inside his pockets, his shirt slightly unbuttoned. His thumb playing with the wedding ring on his left hand. A mischievous smirk settled on his lips. A horrified scream left my mouth as I yelled,
"D-Damien! Get out!" I covered my chest, almost frantic but he doesn't want me sane, he is driving me crazy!
Damien chuckled, lowly, swiftly locking the door, walking closer to me as I moved back, knocking my hairspray down to the ground.
His arm wrapped around my bare waist as his hands traced down my back, picking me up and placing me onto the countertop.
"Damien, stop" I whispered, lowering my gaze as his fingers slid my strap off my shoulder before his lips trailed down my neck, softly breathing on my sensitive skin. His slender fingers gripping onto my hair, gathering them into a bunch
My hands resting on his bare chest before I moved them to his collarbone and his neck.
"Save your screams for later, Mrs McKnight"

*SLOWLY BEING EDITED*
Zane had a special mission to accomplish. No one could find out that he's undercover. No one. But with those hazel eyes and her smart mouth he couldn't stay away from her. She was making him feel things he never knew it was possible. Yet bringing her into his world was dangerous especially because of her sudden connection to his case.
Katherine has a baggage full of insecurities and trust issues. She never had an official boyfriend and being 24 that's socially unacceptable. The danger those grey eyes emit should scare her away. He was trouble and she knew that but she couldn't help it. The attraction she feels towards him is scaring her. Is it worth taking the risk?

"Can you cook?"
"I can"
"Good, what about laundry and cleaning?" I nodded.
"Fuck Angel, you're like the perfect woman and you still want me to be your friend" He joked and found myself laughing.
"Because I am the perfect housewife?" I asked arching an eyebrow.
"No, because you are the perfect combination of smart, beautiful, and skillful." I blushed at that and I wanted to look away but one of his hands stopped me and turned my face towards him.
"Get used to hearing compliments because you're going to hear them often in the future. Now, about my offer..." He gave me an expectant look.
I thought for a while. I still wasn't sure it was a good idea but I liked working at the shop and still wanted to work there for a little while.
"Alright, let's do it," I said.
"Now? Here? Damn Angel, first the fiancé thing, and now this. For someone inexperienced, you sure move fast" He joked and I laughed.
