"Trust me, baby," he whispered in my ear, desire coating his voice. "When you start screaming my name like it's your favorite word, it will not be an act." 

-------------------------

How far will you go to get everything you have ever wanted?

When Allison agreed to do a favor for her least favorite person, Alex Prescott, she never thought 8 years later it would bring her to his front door, begging for a place to stay-much less to strike a deal neither of them would have ever dreamed of, in order to save both of their futures.

When their dreams are put in jeopardy, Allison and Alex must play a game of pretend that could fix all of their problems, but only if they manage to keep their feelings out of it, and neither of them realized how difficult that could be.

Diamonds On White by AudenNyx

"Just hold on to me, you won't fall." Adrian assures, as I cling to his arm "unless I fall first then we're both screwed." He adds and an overwhelming urge to strangle him takes over me. Before I can say anything, Cel's shriek makes me look across the ice rink "I could have died!" she glares at Ryver who throws his hands up in exasperation and fires back "Prove it! You barely slipped." Blair sighs, rubbing her temples as she mutters "This is why we can't do nice things." "This was the last cup they had" Art grins at the cup of steaming hot chocolate before opening his mouth again but it's Elle who speaks next "Do not say what you were going to say Art." I find myself agreeing with Blair as I look over the mess that is the result of combining our group with an activity like ice skating. "I read the most effective way to rid friction between a group of people is to have an or-" Caspian snickers at the horrified looks we throw him before Adrian cuts him off. "Okay all those in agreement to vote Casp out say-" he dosen't get to finish as Casp yells "I was joking!"

"Why is it that whenever I try to get closer to you, you always shy away from me?" Aiden asks, hurt dripping from his voice I look at him and instantly i'm filled with regret and fear. "You wouldn't understand Aiden." I say pleading with him "Try me," He challenges. "Listen," I pause. "I need you to understand that when I push you away, it's because it's the only thing I know how to do anymore." He opened his mouth to say something but she stopped him, holding her palm up like a white flag. "You need to understand that everyone else has left and my problem," I say raising my voice. "My problem is that I'm scared," "I'm scared of getting too attached to someone, until eventually, that someone has the power to control me. To end my world when they feel like it." Aidens eyes bore into mine but he doesn't say anything. "Are you attached?" He asks. I glance away and then back at him nodding "With you? Too much." I say as a tear rolls down my left cheek "I'm scared that you are going to leave." I whisper as Aiden wraps his arms around me. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••• A grumpy figure skater and a golden retriever Hockey Captain.
