The chords of the small string orchestra nestled in the corner of the enormous ballroom vibrated throughout the room, becoming one with the her pulse.
The woman's dark burgundy colored lips were curled into a soft, heart-jolting smile and skeins of vulcanite-black hair toppled over her shoulders as her languorous eyes gazed at the tall, broad-shouldered man holding her gently with his callused fingertips which brushed the naked flesh of her back, as they swayed to the rhythm of the music.
The man's identity was hidden by the dim lighting of the luxurious lyceum, but judging from the way the light caressed his face, he has high cheekbones accompanied with a straight nose. Heavy, solemn brows rested atop his eyes and a dark mop of hair accented his face.
The clinking of wine glasses and the rustling of stunning ballgowns was muted to her ears as she danced with the esoteric man. She became intoxicated with his scent and obsessed with the feeling of his fingertips on her skin. It was as if he captured her soul, and had absolutely no intention of giving it back.
Dragging her slender fingers down his torso, she asked him a question that has been eating up her insides: what is your name?
He leaned down, kissing the delicate spot beneath her earlobe and whispered his name languidly, each syllable rolling off his tongue smoothly.

Kiss & Consequences
You and Me: Caught Up in a Dream - Fate or Coincidence? Katrina stood in the hotel lounge, surrounded by her female colleagues, pretending to follow their light chatter. But her mind was elsewhere, spiraling into the whirlwind of changes her life had taken in the past few weeks. The man who had spent the last year making her life miserable-criticizing her work, undermining her confidence-had kissed her. Last week. A kiss that burned through her resolve like fire through dry leaves. Across the lounge, he leaned casually against the bar, his tall, commanding frame impossible to ignore. His eyes found her, as they had all day during the company's team-building retreat, trailing her like a shadow. He was arrogant, maddening, and yet irresistibly charming. And now, as they all prepared to celebrate the year's end at the Clarion Hotel before the Christmas break, Katrina couldn't shake the pull she felt toward him. The wine she'd sipped earlier buzzed in her veins, lending her a false courage she wasn't sure she could sustain. Should she approach him? Say what she couldn't stop thinking? Spend the night with me. The thought made her pulse race-and her conscience scream. She was a married woman in her thirties, a mother. But she was far from satisfied in her marriage, a truth she hadn't admitted until last week's kiss tore down the walls she'd built around her heart. For three long years, she had felt invisible in her own home, her husband's touch stopped once their son was born. The sound of laughter jolted her back to the present. Her colleagues were discussing plans for a spa retreat tomorrow morning, but Katrina barely heard them. Her nerves tingled as she felt a familiar heat-his gaze was on her again. Her breath hitched. The drinks arrived, and the men rejoined the group, but all Katrina could feel was his presence, so near and yet so charged with tension it made her dizzy. Was she brave enough to cross this line? Or foolish enough to let herself fall?Complete
Devil Mine (Walk Through Shadows Book Two)
"You're uncomfortable." "For being paid for sex?" She looked up at him. "Why would that make me uncomfortable?" "The money is for the time you spent on your hair, makeup, and then posing. Not for the rest of it." He took her hand and put the envelope in it. "The rest was just two people who got lost in a moment." "Ah I see." She looked down at the envelope with a frown. "Well, thank you then." "No, thank you for doing that for me. It was a huge help." She took a step back and bumped into the door jamb. "Em." She looked up as his hands cupped her face.

BENEATH THE FACADE ~The Ruthless Secrets
"Play along," she said, her voice dripping with seduction but laced with an edge. Her hands reached behind his back, and in a swift move, she retrieved the pistol tucked into his belt. Abhay's breath hitched as she raised the gun over his shoulder, her piercing eyes locking onto the threat behind him. A deafening shot rang out, the muzzle flashing like lightning. The man targeting Abhay crumpled to the ground. Ekanshi didn't hesitate. With a roll off Abhay's lap, she landed gracefully in front of him, her red dress glinting under the neon lights as she pivoted to fire at two more assailants rushing from the shadows. Each shot was precise, lethal, and unrelenting. The room fell silent save for the echo of her last gunshot. She turned back to Abhay, who hadn't moved an inch, his face frozen in a mix of awe and disbelief. She leaned down, her lips brushing his ear as she whispered, "What are you doing? Take care of yourself, Abhay. I may be a doctor, but I only treat patients." Her words were a playful reprimand, but her tone was tender. Abhay's heart raced, his mind screaming a single thought: I'm a patient of your love. But before he could voice it, she straightened, adjusted her dress with an air of casual confidence, and turned away. The sound of her high heels clicking against the floor was all he could hear as she walked off.. Continue reading for more exciting twists!
C'est La Vie
*** "Wanna know something funny..." He whispered as he leaned into me, His lips brushing gently against the shell of my ear, his warm breath sending a shiver throughout my body. His voice sounded deeper than usual, with a hint of an accent that I hadn't noticed before. And still, each word that passed his lips felt like silk covered barbed wire wrapping around me; trapping me to him. Loosening the tight grip he had on my hair, he gently pulled my head up from the ground and rested my body against his. Grabbing my chin and tilting my head back, he brought his eyes back to mine, controlling my body without saying a single word. I was unaware of what he was doing but before I could even react, he was covering my mouth and nose with a white cloth. I couldn't even think to hold my breath, as it was already too late, the Chloroform was already working its way into my system. My vision began to become fuzzy and I could feel myself slipping into darkness as my head fell back against his chest. I felt him press his lips softly against mine, using his hand to cup my head to hold me steady. Just before I lost consciousness and everything went black, I heard him whisper, his lips just barely brushing against my own, "I'm nothing like him...I'm a monster" ***
