Nineteen years ago, James Conrad made a mistake. In the grand scheme of things, it wasn't much of one; after all, most people don't end up with their secondary school sweetheart. Most people don't leave said sweetheart asleep, naked, under an oak tree either though... 

After saving Kong, Conrad's life went from one type of bitter to another. Forced to join MONARCH, the former SAS officer was at their beck and call; while the missions were always engaging, they never felt... fulfilling. Like he was actively working to protect and preserve life as he was told, but more like he was helping to catalog all of the worlds monsters for a bigger project. And he just might be... When his old girlfriend happens to walk back into his life asking for his help, James can't turn her down. Can he help her answer her questions though, or will working beside his ex only leave him feeling emptier than he already is?

(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 It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication.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.
