I looked, straight into his eyes, unbelieving that he was so stupid. "How can we raze it all!! What will you lord over? A Kingdom of dust? What will you rule over? An Empire of bones?" His look was blazing and he looked straight back at me and said "What is it that you really want?" A small smile, played near my mouth, slowly it turned into a smirk. I leaned over and said "Just the Empire's prosperity"All Rights Reserved

Something Borrowed by FearlessAl17

Caught up in the sins and glamour of high society life, Astoria became the girl no one could trust. In order to return to grace, she must do the unthinkable: find a husband before the end of the year... before her mother chooses for her. With only 3 months remaining in the year, she decided to return to the limelight and reengages of high society life. But with everything she needed to build a future, only one question rings in her mind as she faces her fate: was it worth the price? __ The lighting was dull, but I could still see the shadows of his strong jawline, and the broad, muscular build he hid under his suit jacket. I wished I could see more of him-I wished I could see his face. I was intrigued by him, by the man who couldn't seem to look away. I blinked a few times before turning my cheek, suddenly conscious of the way his hidden eyes bore into me; I could almost feel the intensity of his gaze burning holes into my skull. Maybe he knew who I was; maybe he was one of the people I had crossed, they all looked the same to me. I had too many skeletons in my closet to be able to keep track of who was an ally and who was an enemy. If he was the latter, God help me. It was just the two of us outside now on the once compact Parisian streets. We were completely alone. He could do or say whatever he wanted and no one would bare witness. And yet, neither of us moved, too afraid to disrupt the perfect serenity of the moment. I opened my mouth to speak, but I could not bring myself to utter a word. For the first time, I was scared to know what someone was thinking about me. I wanted to know the type of woman he saw staring back at him. I hoped he saw the woman I was pretending to be: the regal, glamorous, refined young lady I'd been bred to become. But somehow I knew he saw me differently. The man who could not look away could see everything, and I just hoped, for the both of us, that he saw how sorry I was.

"Your not my boss...cause I've not agreed to work for you ...I don't want to anymore so you can keep your offer" I shouted. He smirked. "Who says i'm offering you the job....i'm commanding you to work for me....and don't bother saying no...cause it's useless...try me and see how miserable i will make you Become"he threatens in a stern tone. Gosh I feel like slapping him so hard on the face, but how can he be so handsome and sexy like a Greek god and at the same time..wicked and a devil in human clothing?.that's a wrong combination right ..?I thought too. "I don't want to" I said calmly moving back "Okay there's another condition" he says his eyes suddenly turned dark as he use his eyes to roam my body , I gulp nervously. "W-what?" I slutter "Have one night with me and I'd let you go" he says and my eyes widen as shock filled my system, I moved back out of fear .

My CEO Billionaire by NerdShortyGlasses

He strides closer, his eyes focused intently on me. I stumble backwards, feeling the cold wall press against my back. He stops inches away from me, forcing me to stare at his dark brooding eyes. I was enthralled by them, luring me in. "What are you doing?" My throat went dry as I spoke, his figure closing in. His scent made it even harder to think straight, a mix of fresh pine and smoky wood was all I could breath in. He doesn't answer and leans in closer to me, I could've gotten lost in his eyes, he tilted his head as the light shadowed the side of his face. "You amuse me, Abby" He whispered. His lips grazing my cheek. I stood there, stunned by our proximity. He pulled back slowly, staring, unflinching. "Don't go looking too deep, you'll regret it once you find what I'm hiding" I heard the door close, and he was gone once I regained my sanity. *** He was fire to my soul, his touch an electric cold shiver to my skin, and his eyes were the most troubled I could ever find. The way his eyes gazed at me, they held forbidden secrets. I was curious to what made him so closed off to the world, so twisted and cruel. I was drawn to him than anyone I've ever encountered, a man with a brutal past and a forgotten heart. They told me to stay away, but I didn't listen. They said my curiosity would kill me, then let that be the end of me. *UNDER EDITING* *READ AT YOUR OWN RISK*

Old Money Madness by Loverofdangerouslove

One of his hands was snaked around my back while the other dragged up my spine into my hair. With one hard tug, my head fell backward and the shower water covered my face. Gasping for air I felt his mouth make its way around the base of my neck. The hot water was already making my skin hot, but having him so close in this way, made me feel like I should have combusted a long time ago. He jerked me back up to be facing him. He kissed my mouth then drags his eyes down to my neck. "A pretty necklace, for the gorgeous Princess." *** "Tell me River what each kiss means again." He presses one to my cheek. "We're friends." I smile. "Here." He presses a kiss on my hand. "You adore me." I laugh. Then he pressed a kiss to my lips. It was quick barely touching long enough for my nerves to recognize it. "A kiss to the lips," I spoke blankly. My lips still parted in the manner he left me. I'm afraid to move in fear that my brain will forget the feeling. "And tell me again what that means River?" "I love you." A chaste whisper. So quiet, almost as if it didn't need to be said at all to be understood. "And that I do Miss Knight. In all your intensity." *** Two people come to figure out a double homicide. One is mental who is richer than anyone and the other is a detective from New York just trying to get their name on a big case. You may want to eat the rich, but most of them have already starved themselves. insta: csulak_

Her Heart Or Her Kingdom? by lotus7543

I stand there glaring at my husband. My Prince. His brown irises swirl, deeply glaring back at my own. "I suggest you listen to me, my princess. I should be in charge of this, it is too dangerous for a woman. I don't want you to get hurt." I hiss crossing my arms against my heavily embroidered half-sari, "This is my kingdom, just because I married you doesn't mean you automatically become King and rule over everything. This threat is targeting my kingdom and I am its Queen." I look seriously at him along with my heart pounding about how my people are going to react. I glance back at him looking at his quiet and reserved nature. You've changed a lot from our childhood. I have too, I have become refined, royally royal and trying to be as perfect a woman as possible. Still, I'm glad you are my husband. He breaks the silence with an icy voice, "Fine, do as you wish. But I will be there every step of the way whether you like it or not. Your. Majesty." Genre- Romance/Adventure *contains blood, violence and hopefully adorable romantic moments* Hope you enjoy!

BREAKING EXPECTATIONS by GoldenBubbles13

" Maybe I do love you!" He yelled. I swallowed my retort. " Wait, What?" I uttered. He made a face and scratched the back of his neck. I looked at him expectantly. He huffed. "Jade, I love you." He looked me in the eye when he said "you". I smiled slightly and moved closer to him. " I... love you, too Will." I said softly. His grimace faded onto that perfect smile of his, then turned into an impish smirk. Oh no, I ended up in my panties at the party the last time he smiled like that. He walked towards me. And acting from experience I stepped back with my eyebrow raised. When I bumped into the wall he put his hands on opposite sides of my head. " So I guess you're gonna try to eat my face again." He said smugly. I mentally sighed, how did I know that using the 'L' word would come back to my butt. Smirking myself, I moved closer to him; which surprised him. " Well why not?" I said cheekily. He smirked and leaned in. I closed my eyes and right before his lipped touched mine The cell door swung opened, making it slam into the door, and mr.asswipe walked in. Will turned around and glared at him, partly because he had punched him, snd partly cause he interupted our moment. "What the f*©k do ya want now?" He inquired with a raised brow. Hogan smirked, then turned to me, staring in a very inaprpriate and humiliating way. "Good news... Your father wants to see you know." He said cheerily. My gut twisted and I shot Will a worried look. I knew my life could get more complicated.... ______________________________________________________________ ******************************************************************************************

Summer Fest: seasonal sensations Bk1 by Reredfancy

He had a black eye and a busted lip. His shirt was scrunched up and wrinkly at the collar and splotches of blood decorated it. His hands were in his pockets but I didn't need to see them for me to figure out they were also bruised. He had a fight obviously but it was in the middle of the day. He couldn't have been drunk at this time and there were no bullies looking to pick a fight with him. We weren't in school. How? Where? And why? "Are you just going to stare at me or will you invite me in?" He asked trying to look as normal as possible. Fail. "Are you unaware of how you look right now? The fuck happened to you?" I asked reaching out to inspect his face. He winced at the contact and that's when I noticed his jaw had swollen slightly. "I... I'm hungry." He said with a mischievous grin. When I looked at him dead in the eye he winked at me.

I want you, but you don't want me by melissaxox_

"What are you doing here?" He spat out. "I-I am here for helping your pack." I said unsure. "We don't need your help!" He shouted "I thought that you would chance and come back to me! Funny huh? I believed in you. But I guess I was wrong." "Sweetie, how many times do I have to tell you that, I don't want you." He said smirking. "You were supposed to be my mate." I whispered. "You were supposed to love me and protect me from any harm. But you know what Rajiv, you are the one who causes the harm. And the worst part is, that I still love you. After all the crap you've put me trough, I still love you." I said looking him in the eyes. "And it kills me to know, that I want you, but you don't want me."

Lost And Found by zehrraa_

“Are you jealous?” I asked him, trying to contain my smirk. “No.” He whispered looking down, his face going a little red now and I couldn’t hold my smirk in any longer. “You are jealous.” I told him, fully smirking now. Now he looked back up, “So what if I’m jealous? Like you weren’t jealous of me the first night we came here.” He retorted. I was getting angry now. “Well, obviously I’m jealous of you. I like you.” I said then covered my mouth with both of my hands. Did I just say that out loud? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lost in the middle of the jungle and low on resources. The only thing they can find: Love, lions, tribes and so much more. Give or take a few troubles on the way.

TEJNA by chandrarohini

"Ouchh," I cried trying to balance. I looked up at him with soft eyes, flushed cheeks. He looked into my eyes with his knitted ones. His hair lying over his sweaty forehead. I never presumed to glimpse him this close. His photographs conveyed his good looks but his dominating aura was hard to handle. I was feeling scared to even breathe in his arms. Bringing his fingers to my face he gently pushed hair strands behind my ear. I lowered my eyes feeling extremely shy. "Sambhal kar chaliye zara, har waqt bahein nahi hongi hamari sambhalne ko," he said in a scratchy tone. There was a hint of taunt present. I knitted my brows to his words and quickly matched his aura. "Hume chahiye bhi nahi," I said glaring at him. He shot his eyebrows a little and I pushed him to leave angrily. Turning around I stepped up on another dumbbell and slipped over it again. I threw my hands in the air for support and once again found him snaking my waist and pulling my back closer to his chest. "Are you sure," he asked over my ears. I angrily looked back at him, found him smirking. "Baahon mein girte girte, mohabbat me mat giriyega hamare," he whispered looking into my eyes. "Kabhi nahi," I replied and left. I royally ignored his taunt only to end up marrying him. Day by day my feelings for him grew stronger though finding happiness was becoming a risky game. But I was heartbroken upon discovering that he only married me out of pity and loved someone else who he was to marry. Not having parents from young age now made me helpless. It felt good to leave home where my family cared for me all these years, after my parents. I did not want to go back and be a burden again. But living this life with him didn't seem fruitful either. This is love story of Tejas Pratap Rathore and Sunaina Maan Singh. Storyline takes place in the early years of 21st century (2001). A beloved saga tying them together in love and commitment whilst they dwell over misunderstandings and growing feelings.
