His fingers glided smoothly on the black leather revolving chair. His eyes were blazing with satisfaction as he sank into it and breathed into the air of victory. Just then, the door to the office burst open.

"HOW DARE YOU CHRISTOPHER ?!" - Aiden shouted.

His lips curled into a smile as he placed his feet on the glass table whose surface showed his reflection and looked at Aiden through the v-gap of his shoes.

"It's 'Sir' to you now Aiden. And next time, you'll knock on the door and will wait for my permission IF you don't want to be thrown out of the building."

Book #2 of Dueling Desires series It all started with a dare. Of course, it did. "Come on, Lemi. I dare you," Grace grinned, nudging me at the party. "I bet you wouldn't last five minutes in a room with him. He'd drive you crazy." "Please," I scoffed, rolling my eyes. "He's not that bad. Besides, I've seen worse." Grace arched an eyebrow, mischief dancing in her eyes. "I don't know. He's Aiden Finn. The guy has a way of getting under people's skin." I found myself standing by the bar, sitting next to the one person I had no business approaching. Aiden didn't even glance up when I sat beside him, completely focused on his phone. Typical. "You gonna keep pretending I'm not here?" I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. He finally looked up, slow and deliberate, and when our eyes met, there was that trademark smirk. "Didn't realize you were that desperate for my attention, Tsukumo." Ugh. That tone. Smug, infuriating, and annoyingly attractive-if you were into that kind of thing. Which I was not. "I'm just here to make sure your ego stays in check," I shot back, crossing my arms. "Not everything's about you, Finn." He chuckled, and for a second, I almost forgot why I found him so irritating. "You sure about that?" he said, leaning closer. His voice dropped to a low murmur, the kind that made my heart skip for reasons I'd rather not admit. "Because it looks like you've been watching me all night." I rolled my eyes, trying to ignore the way his words sent a shiver down my spine. "Please. I don't know why anyone falls for your act." Aiden's gaze lingered, like he was trying to figure me out, leaning back with that casual confidence I hated. "Maybe they know something you don't." I raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah? And what's that?" He locked eyes with me, his smirk fading into something more serious, more intense. "That you're just like me. You're scared of letting anyone in." For a second, I froze. His words like he could see straight through me. But no.
DEADLY DECEPTION by 5omeDay
54 parts Complete Mature
In a world where trust is a luxury, secrets are deadly, and love is the most dangerous weapon of all... Avery Caine thought she was just another orphan with a quiet life-until the brutal murder of her guardian shatters everything she knows. Now, hunted and tangled in a past she doesn't remember, she has only one choice: trust him. Rick Conrad. Cold. Dangerous. A man with too many demons and not enough patience. He works in the shadows, fueled by vengeance, but when his path collides with Avery's, the last thing he expects is her-defiant, tempting, and completely off-limits. But danger has a way of pulling people together. And sometimes, the line between hate and desire is razor-thin. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔥 "Piccola," he murmured, tilting his head slightly. His voice was smooth-dangerous in the way it sent a shiver down my spine. "Even when I've warned you a million times about rolling your eyes at me... you still make the same mistake." My throat dried. He leaned in, his lips ghosting over the shell of my ear. His next words were a slow, deliberate whisper. "Or maybe..." His fingers trailed up my arm, featherlight. "You do it on purpose." I swallowed hard. "Maybe you want to make the same mistake again and again... just to be punished." My breath hitched. I bit my lip, and the moment I did, his gaze dropped-straight to my mouth. Something in his eyes flickered. Darkened. Before I could even think, his lips crashed against mine-hard, demanding, leaving no room for hesitation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As enemies close in and the past refuses to stay buried, Avery and Rick must decide-survive apart or burn together. One thing's for sure. They were never meant to fall in love. But it's far too late for that.
