His eyes gleam in the evening light and there is something in the air that she cannot capture, an excitement in her that makes her blood sing and her eyes water. "Beautiful." He says the word as if it is a prayer to a goddess, a murmur that is almost to himself rather than to her. As if he has seen an aspect of her that he before was unable to place. Her eyes dip, cheeks flushing, "Don't look at me like that." The directness of his gaze makes her skin tingle, it makes her hyper aware of all the parts of her she doesn't like, all the parts she is insecure about, involuntarily she sucks her stomach in and sets her shoulders back a bit to make her collarbones more prominent. His voice is smooth like brandy, "Like what?" Amelia takes a step closer, eyes raising to meet his, "Like you love me." His eyes widen a fraction, and he is momentarily speechless, a flash of fear in those eyes. His breath trembles for a beat before he sighs and smiles, almost vulnerable, "Just for tonight."

(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right. Her and her best friend, Aviary, lived together in a cute little apartment off the central part of the city, yearning to create new memories and important moments. Amelia always lived for the moments, taking in every little detail and savoring it like it was her favorite meal. She was an optimist, hoping to change peoples lives with her dreams. James Vallette was a 34-year-old CEO, building his company from dirt with the help of his brother. He was a realist, not really having time to deal with dreams or even love. He knew this the night he laid eyes on Amelia. It was only casual; what harm could a one-night stand do? Oh yeah, he's her dad's boss.
