Love with strings detached
I put on a show only for him in front of hundreds of people. I bring one hand up to my hair flicking them to the other side, trailing that hand down to my sternum and then my boob as I keep swaying my hips from to side, bending my knees as I lower myself a bit to the ground before sharply standing up again and slowly spinning around, circling my hips. I run my hands through the back of my hair before nailing my gaze on his eyes, slowly walking up to him. I watch him as he wets his lips before biting his plumb bottom one, eyes trailing up my body. Once I reach him, I wrap my arms around his neck and run my fingers through his hair as I press my body up against his. His hands shoot out to grab me from my lower waist, pulling me even closer to him as he pushes a leg between mine, staring into my eyes. I turn my head to the side and brush my lips against his ear before licking and biting his earlobe the same way I did at the party before whispering a few words he was dying to hear. "Take me back to your place." ---------- Theo is a 20-year-old university student with a bad temper. Letting go of the past can be a difficult thing to do but a much-needed one to move on.

First Dance
Book two of The Walkers Series ~~~ I saw his hands run down his face as he placed his glasses on the table next to him. I walked closer to him, lowering my voice by saying, "You deserve someone who will cherish you. Not someone who will corrupt you." I said, my voice low. He turned around and looked at me, a pained look on his face. "Do you think that's what you're doing to me? You think you're just 'corrupting me'?" He asked, stepping towards me. "That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm corrupting you and then when you find a beautiful, perfect, sweet girl, you'll get to move on and be happy and have a family. You won't be with a girl who is a fucking skank, and can't even have children." I said, looking up at him as he walked closer to me. He stepped closer to me so he was right in front of me, putting his hands on my face and running his thumb over my cheekbones. "You are a beautiful, perfect, sweet girl, princess. Even better, you're my beautiful, perfect, sweet girl. I can't move on and be happy and have a family if it isn't all with you. I don't want it if it isn't you." ~~~ Hanna Fox has had her whole life planned out for her. High school, prima ballerina, then principal ballerina by the age of twenty.

Broken
