He licks his lips, raking a hand through his hair. "You know I've had my suspicions about something, but I think that phone call proved it." He pauses, waiting for me to continue. "You race," He says. And when I don't nod, he continues. "I think it's more than that." He takes a deep breath. "Lila, are you the racer who holds the title?" Frustrated, he says, "I opened up to you and I don't think it's fair you aren't doing the same."
I scoff. "I didn't ask you to do that."
"You didn't deny it."
Panic fills my body.
My hands shake by my side.
Ollie gently grabs my hands. "Lila, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm here for you. Answer me this: Are you the racer who holds the title? Be honest with me. Reel me in and I can help you." I nod, a tear slipping out of my eye.
"Lila, please let me in so I can help you. Why is Devin after you?"
"He wants the title. The whole industry is pretty much after me."
"But why is he the one who is out for blood?"
I squeeze his hand. "Maybe this is where your patience comes in."

Crimson Vows
Lila Burns knows pain too well. Fighting a rare blood disease has taught her strength, but it couldn't prepare her for the day her fiancé walked away-unable to love her through the weight of her illness.

When he looked in through the window, he was astounded to see her topless and braless. She was standing with her back to him, eliciting wild desires in him.

Her heartbeat accelerated. She could feel that he was her man but she wanted to be sure. She asked, "is it you, baby?"

He hovered her and tied her wrists with his tie to the headboard. **** She had madly and deeply loved him since the moment she understood the meaning of love and could never stop her heart from beating for him since the day she saw him despite knowing that he would never retaliate to her feelings as for him she was only his best friend's sister while for her he was her world.

Glass shatters beside me and I feel my legs being dragged across the ground and place my back against a side of a car. I open my eyes barely and glass shatters above me. I press my hand against my neck and pull it away. A red trail runs down my hand and I look up and see someone that look extremely familiar just a few seconds ago. My vision became blurry and hard to see. I start to become extremely tired. I felt a hand press against my neck and winces throughout my body. I lowly grunt under my breath as it escapes me from the filled oxygen. I slightly open my eyes and see Reid. "Hey, just keep your eyes on me."

Arranged
So many thoughts were running through my mind as Liam and I stood there, face-to-face, ready to do something that could escalate my like for him or even change his perspective of me in a good or bad way. But, why was I so curious about kissing him? Part of me did want to know what it'd feel like, the other part reminded me that this was my first outside a relationship, and we couldn't count his. He sure was really experienced. In the midst of my thoughts, I felt Liam soft hand caress my cheek. My heart pounded in my chest, as he tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear. His eyes were burning into mine, and I felt his hands travel down my back and around my waist. I felt breathless already. He gently pulled me in close to him, so close that I could feel his heart-beat against mine. An audible gulp escaped me, making him smile. A real one. I could feel the warmth in his voice as he whispered " Don't be scared, I'm not that horrible. " At that moment, I just trusted him. I nodded my head, as he tilted his and slowly leaned in. A wave of heat flooded my entire body as Liam drew me closer and closer, firmly sealing the gap between us. Oh God. This is it. Skylar tries to make the best out of the fact that she was getting married in a year to a perfect stranger, but he's antipathetic, reluctant-the list goes on, and she gets broken countless times.Complete
My Bikie Boyfriend
He grunted as he grabbed my arm again and made me face him, but he didn't say anything. My anger was mounting and this was as private as it was going to get with Sione and Maddy in the car next to us slowly inching forward when we did. "Dammit you can't keep fucking man handling me! You need to stop the possessiveness and for fuck sake Alastair's a friend him smacking my arse is how he greets fucking all of his female friend's! You need to back off because we are not a fucking couple! And you need a fucking filter, what you said to Tessa was horrible!" "Are you done?" He growled out. I was panting so much my chest was heaving as I realised my anger was slowly disappearing. I just nod. "Good, you are my fucking woman so you better get used to it, I didn't hear any fucking objections when I claimed you in front of Beast or in front of that pack of sluts. I don't fucking share what's mine." My anger quickly returned, "I'm not a fucking object you egotistical son of a b-" Grim grabbed me to him and crashed his mouth on top of my own he dominated my mouth as he pulled me closer, while like this I remain still hating him more for his domination. Grim seemed to realise this and changed tactic. He shifted so I was more cupped into his body wrapping his arms around me and softening his assault on my mouth. He asked permission to enter my mouth and I let him, his skill with his tongue made me melt into him and bring my arms up around his neck burying my hands in his hair. Pleasure was shivering all over my skin as he continued to kiss me I tentatively brought my tongue out to touch his and moaned at the sensation. Pulling his hair in the process causing Grim to groan and lift me fully into his embrace.Complete

A shiver ran down my spine, his voice pulling at me, the power in it making me want to do anything he asked. I shook my head, afraid my voice might betray me. His teeth lightly grazed my neck causing a sigh to get past my lips. I could feel him smile against my skin. He knew he was going to get what he wanted one way or another. I tried to slip away, but he grabbed my wrists, pinning them down tightly. He pressed his hard body against me. I was aware of every inch of him that was touching me. "Don't think you can just leave. We're not done yet." My stomach tightened at his words, the desire inside burning for him. My damn body at war with my mind yet again.
