"Why do you even like her?" he whispered, but not quiet enough to keep me from over hearing. I turned towards to hear better, even if I shouldn't be ease dropping.

Her life is perfectly planned out... until her senior year trip throws her into the chaotic orbit of the school's golden boy. Now her final year in high school isn't looking so simple. "Don't let me catch you, cupcake," his voice boomed from downstairs, and I took off running. I ducked behind a pole, heart racing, trying to calm my nerves. Way to go, Stephanie, my subconscious snarked. His footsteps echoed closer. "Where are you, cupcake?" he called out playfully. Like I'd actually tell you, I thought, holding my breath. Silence. Then, warm fingers snaked around my waist, and I didn't need to turn to know it was him. "Found you," he whispered in my ear, and a shiver zipped down my spine. "How?" I breathed, turning to face him. His smirk told me he knew exactly what he was doing to me. Get it together, fool, I mentally scolded myself. "Want the sugarcoated version or the truth?" he teased. I raised a brow at him. "I could smell you from a mile away," he whispered, tucking a lock of hair behind my ear. Butterflies. So many freaking butterflies. "That was the sugarcoated version," he added with a grin. I blinked, narrowing my eyes. "The pole didn't hide you well. Your cardigan was sticking out," he shrugged. And then came the smirk. "Now, time for my revenge." I barely had time to process before something soft and powdery rained down on me. I wiped my face. Flour. He did not just dump flour on me even if I started it. Mature, much? I thought bitterly. Poker face on. "Real mature," I said, brushing past him with fake annoyance. Time to activate drama mode. "Come on, babe, you can't be mad..." he called after me.

Playing His Games
I shifted uncomfortably in my seat as he stared across the table at me. I could seriously drown in his eyes. He was intoxicatingly attractive and he had to know it. That's why he was acting strange around me. For some reason, he looked at me as if I was the only one there with him. As if nobody else were here. And his voice... it pained me. It actually pained me with how utterly seductive and husky it always sounded. And the way he smelled all the time. I don't know why he smelled so strong, but I didn't mind. He smelled like evergreens and a hint of mint. It sounds like a bad combo, but it dizzied me with how lost I got in it. The thought of not being able to control myself, my thoughts and feelings and body when I'm around him, infuriated me. I was so good at holding myself together now, and he just unraveled me so easily, leaving me a mess. I wasn't the slightest bit afraid of him, and I had no idea why either. Just being in the same room, I felt like I didn't have to look over my shoulder. I didn't have to worry. I didn't even know who he was, and he still drew me in. "So, you were in California before? Why did you move?" Grace Hatfield asked, looking at him. She is our school's college and career advisor. She took me in and adopted me a couple years ago. She even gave me her last name. A saving grace. Why had she invited him here? Why did he come? He turned to her with a smile and a shrug. "Guess I just hadn't found what I was looking for yet." Something about the way he said it, sent a shiver down my spine. Why did I feel like there was so much more meaning behind his words than he was letting on? "Well, I hope you find what you're looking for." Grace said, and he turned to me with a devilish smirk and a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Something tells me that I will."Complete

When seventeen-year-old Quinn Sophia Richards leaves New York to live with her grand-aunt, Helen Deveraux in Blue Haven, Georgia, she is confronted with a dark life changing revelation : her whole life was a big lie to hide the fact that she is a powerful Campbell witch who needs to fulfill her part of the prophecy before it's too late. She meets a mysterious handsome stranger who seems to know a great deal about her family's past. But can she trust this dangerous manipulating stranger whose dark side threaten to consume her... *** It was the most captivating pair of blue eyes she had ever encountered in her life. "Hello Quinn," he murmured huskily, eyes locked on her. The fact that he knew her name did not matter to her. It just felt right the way his full lips voiced it. "Hi, did you see a fair blond guy in his middle twenties passing by?" she muttered, still amazed with his hypnotic stare. Flexing a muscle in his high cheekbone, he raised one long eyebrow playfully. Something in the atmosphere was telling her that he knew the answer. "Boyfriend?" he teased, eyes locked broodingly upon her. Taken aback with his question, she only stared back. It was true that Tom Willis did not appear an ounce a driver with his casual clothing and his age. But he wasn't to find out. Her heart was already fluttered with his devastating looks. "Well, I can definitely help you." He leaned closer and she took in a deep breath, inhaling his overpowering masculine scent. "But on one condition." He paused, increasing the electrifying temsion between them. " In the right time, I'll take something from you in return," his profoundly blue eyes twinkling with devilish intentions. "And you won't be allowed to refuse." "Whatever you want," she murmured, fluttering her long lashes. Her mind warned her to run away as suddenly he seemed dangerous.
