"I need you to be my wife." he said lifting her chin up, forcing her to look at him.
    "But, we don't love each other." protested Brielle as he crashed his lips against her own. 
    She couldn't think as she kissed him back, intoxicated by his scent and the skillful way his body moved against her own.
    "Please." he said huskily looking into her eyes. "Say yes."
    "Yes." Brielle found herself saying. After all she never had a choice when it came to him.
    
    ***
    After Brielle rushed an elderly man to the hospital, she used up all her savings to foot the bill.  But she didn't expect the man's son to arrive, within minutes of her payment. 
    
    He's rich, he's handsome and he's single. He's the biggest businessman in the continent. And the elderly man she rescued was his beloved father. A simple thank you and a cheque would not suffice.
    
    She's too simple for her own good and he's too good to be true.
    
    Read on to find out how a mismatched pair's lives intertwine.

"What are you thinking?" I ask him. "You really want to know?" He replies in a voice so dark and full of warning it sends a shiver down my spine. "Yes." I say, being utterly brave. A small smirk lifts the corner of his lips as he walks towards me. His footsteps slow and calculative like a predator on hunt. Deliberately, he stops just an inch away from me and leans in so close to my ear that I feel his warm breath kiss my neck. "I want to tear off this tight little skirt of yours and pull your panties down with my teeth, all while you watch me do it." My eyes widen in absolute shock. Heat slaps my face and I turn red from his sensual comment. "This.. This is.. sexual assault!" I gasp, completely caught off-guard. We are in the office and he is the God-Damn CEO! "No." He shakes his head calmly. "You asked me a question, and I just answered it, honestly. Nothing less, nothing more. Completely professional." WhatTheFuckeryFuck!

After five years and a thousand regrets, two old lovers meet again.. "What kind of stunt are you pulling out this time?" I see his eyes blaze in blue fire. And I think I saw regret flash, too, before he blinks it gone. "I am going to win you back." he states as if those are the most natural thing in the world. As if it was as easy as ABC. He went behind his table and sits like a king. He looks at me from head to toe. Did I just saw love in those eyes? But it's too quick; I even thought I only imagined it. "And do you think, buying the company I am working at will help you with your fucking mission on Earth?" I snap taking two steps forward. He stands up, and put both of his hands in the table and lean his body closer to me, putting his weight on his palms. So close, I can even smell his cologne that mixed so naturally with his aftershave. It reminds me of summer. Of him. Of the love we'd shared.

"I can't do this ! This is wrong !" she exclaimed loudly, trying to prove her point. "Miracle, I really don't have time for this. I am sure whatever was decided was decided for good. Now quit whinning like a baby and get to work. I don't want our professional lives to be clashing with our personal lives. The rest of the discussion on this topic can be completed at home." He said in an overly calm tone that sent chills down her spine. "Kayden ! How can you even agree to this marriage ? You don't even love me and you have a girlfriend already, for heaven's sake !" Miracle continued ignoring Kayden's demand. This wasn't right ! And she was going to prove it. She was going to make Kayden understand that there is no reason to put their lives on hold just because their parents thought they were perfect for each other. She didn't even feel anything for him other than a feeling of pure friendship. Kayden's giant figure looming over her brought her out of her thoughts. "My girlfriend can be discarded, Miracle. And once again, this discussion is over. Don't ignore my words, baby. I don't like to be ignored." His cool minty breath fanning her face and the fact that he had to literally squat down to whisper to her made her stomach do a weird flip. At that very moment, Miracle realised, that there might be a teeny tiny bit of a MUTUAL ATTRACTION between them. ************************************ This is the third installment in THE ATTRACTION series. To understand more about this story I suggest you read the second installation first. So you will know more about the characters. Other than that it can stand on it's own :) ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED !

"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed. "Let's hope that excuse is acceptable.." She was merely amused.

"I don't want to take a chance." the corner of his lips lifted a little as he finished his sentence. "Well, you don't hear me complaining. The view of a someone so desperately working out is not a delight either." I retorted in a weary voice. "I bet it isn't." he narrowed his eyes at me and commented. Ugh.. Why is he so damn annoying? "You know what, just take your arrogant ass out of my room." I scowled at him, pointing towards the door. With small steps, he walked towards me. I took a step backwards when he neared me. He was invading my personal space, making me a bit flustered. The urge to push back his golden-brown hair covering his forehead was increasing with every passing second. "Gladly." he mumbled against my face and then walked past me out of my room. It took me a minute to calm down my racing heartbeat. ... He was a mystery, an enigma I wanted to solve. He was exhausting, he was infuriating, yet staying away from him was not an option. He was making me feel things I haven't felt before. Adam McArdle!

Prince Riccardo De L'Aquila. My driven, commanding, and insatiable husband. I'm ferociously addicted to him - being pleasured by him until I am sore and my breath is battered, to see him crave me with a need as fervor and blindingly fierce as mine. He is the most beautiful alpha-male I've ever known. Yet he is also the man who remains tormented at the core by the darkest shadows of his past and mine. Our excruciating past, harrowing sufferance, and constant need for love and permanency is what unites us and makes us entangled in a way nothing else can.

We are the two tortured souls who have allowed each other to know the deepest, darkest secrets we have been holding in our hearts for years. He is my match in every sense. Our life together is truly just the beginning. Now there is no going back or hiding secrets or avoiding sharing them by ending up tangled in sheets or wherever we can make rough, raw love that can make me forget my purpose of arguing with him or questioning him. Despite my complete submission to him, Rico has shown me that I can be loved intensely. And in turn, I have shown Rico that he is my entire universe, totally worthy of my love and that I belong to him in every sense.
