His arm circled my waist, his other hand drawing patterns on my neck as he whispered, "I know what you did Ari." I warped my legs around him confused as he proceeded to pull us down and into the water forcing me to hold my breath. When we resurfaced I could see the anger on his face, "Why didn't you tell me?" "There was nothing you could have done..." I whispered replaying the incident that happened earlier. I pulled myself out of the pool and toweled myself. He came up from behind embracing me as I stood there taking in the moonlight that cast a yellow hue on us. "I wish we never meet..." I bit my lips trying to keep the tears from spilling. He spun me and in a blink of an eye, I was looking at his chest knowing his face was studying mine. "You don't mean it. You are mine and I'm yours." He tightened the hug, stubborn about not letting go. "I don't love you. It was for the money. You heard what Krissy said..." I turned my heart to stone staring into his grey eyes trying to communicate my lies as truth. He swiftly let go and I watched the transformation before me of a man's love into anger and sorrow. He bought his hands up as if to land a blow, but resisted letting out a sigh. "Leave Ari." His voice very feeble but commanding as ever. My job was done, he had believed it. ---------------- My first attempt at adult fiction, please do read and recommend this story to your fellow friends and Wattpaders!

Paige Hamilton ran from her unbearable life a year ago, leaving behind everything that crushed her very soul, to a place no one knew her and her brutal past. Her life went from popular and wild to lonely and isolated, all because of people who turned their backs on her, betrayed her, and failed to acknowledge the real Paige. Staying in Tennessee with Elaine Donatelli was the perfect setting; she would spend her time drawing or painting or at her small-time job without ever talking to anyone or even letting anyone touch her. Up until Noah Kingsley crashes into her life with his belligerent driving and sinful mouth. Noah Kingsley was just looking for a getaway place for a while until matters at home calmed down. He came to the countryside for a breather but what he did not expect was a weird woman who never talked to anyone, always had a smidge of paint on her body or clothes, and hated someone's touch. Oh, he thought she was one uptight bitch who he could never fathom even becoming acquainted with. But one pain heals another pain, right? Paige never realized she was letting Noah break her concrete walls and Noah never knew how real, inner beauty ever felt so...ethereal until now.
