Speaking of mystery, a certain midnight hero with a familiar aura has also caught his attention... - Meet Aiden Hendrix, Nero's best friend and partner in crime.

Meet Erwin Fonzo, best friend of Leo and CEO of Nic and Co. He's a pro at faking his emotion and does so in order to make interactions less troublesome. He's considered cold due to his refusal of keeping people closer than an arm's length, but after a blue-haired man argues his way into his life, his arm's length shortens slowly as he unravels more about the man, including seeing a side of his that no one was ever meant to see. - A stereotypical romantic trope.

"Did you enjoy having his lips on your skin?" he whispers seductively with his lips brushing up against my earlobe. He traces a finger from the valley of my breasts down to my belly button causing goosebumps to appear on my skin and a shiver to run down my spine. "I love how you react to my touch. So responsive." He looks me dead in the eye while keeping his finger lingering on my skin. "I bet he can't make you feel as good as I can." I finally regain some of my composure and gently caress one of my fingers along his jaw, feeling his rough stubble on my fingertips. "You wouldn't be able to handle me, amore." *************************** Raina Emerson is the CEO of Emerson Enterprises, a company she built from the ground up, and one of the richest people in America.

Superhero Material
Emerson Rogers liked to think of himself as an ordinary teenager. After all, he had no reason to believe otherwise. He went to an upstanding private school with the rest of his friends, was a straight-A student, had no disciplinary issues, and was well-liked according to his classmates and teachers. If anyone were to take a glance at him, they would assume that he was just another carefree rich kid with no problems in his life to worry about. Unless you consider the fact that his evening plans included putting on a blue super suit and speeding through the streets as a crime-fighting superhero. Okay, so maybe his life wasn't as ordinary and carefree as he liked to portray it. With Emerson starting his senior year of high school, things have started to become a bit more tricky than he would've preferred. Defending Jefferson City and maintaining a normal school life as a cover can be hard, but throw in his best friend getting closer to the truth about his alter-ego's identity and a mysterious villain working from the shadows who always seems to be two steps ahead, living a double life is going to be his biggest challenge yet. Especially when new villains start crawling out of the woodwork, thirsty for a fight, and his old villains return stronger, angrier, and looking to settle a score. As Emerson starts to uncover the truth behind where all these villains are coming from, he finds that not everything is what it seems on the surface. And that he and this mysterious villain have a stronger connection than he originally thought.
A Boy From Manning Heights ✔️
"that's rich coming from a pretty boy" I narrow my eyes. "I'm not a pretty boy." He smirks standing from the desk and reaching forward twirling a piece of my hair between his fingers. "not in the traditional sense no...but you still bleed daddy's money" I reach up gripping his wrist, maybe harder then necessary; suddenly angry. "you don't know me Jasper, don't pretend you do" He sucks in a breath before leaning forward and putting his mouth next to my ear "I know you're so desperate for me, you can't fucking think straight" My breath catches and my eyes flick up meeting his not believing I heard what I did, but there's no denying it when he pushes me against his door and his lips meet my own hungry, angry, frustrated. ••• Jasper Collins is not expecting to ever step foot inside Balton's Boys School. A private behavioural school for those who can afford it, but after one too many expulsions and a scholarship opportunity Jasper finds himself stuck in a place filled with pretty boys who've done nothing worse then forget to shine their silver spoon. Beckett Chambers took on a mentorship position at Balton's to stay away from home. He could care less about status and social image he just wants to find a way out of Manning Heights and Balton's was supposed to be his safe haven until then.
