NORA

I stare at Mars, my pulse going out of control again. He looks like he's suffering, yet somehow he's still… beautiful. The vulnerability in his face makes my throat tighten.

I gently push him back down onto the pillows. "Lie down. Stop talking. Just sleep."

He doesn't resist me at all.

I sit beside him on the edge of the bed and start stroking his damp hair back from his forehead in unhurried, soothing motions.

"I'm not going anywhere," I murmur. "I'll stay right here. Just close

  • 100 Days With My Nemesis   ~032~ RAVAGED

    NORA The second the elevator doors slide open, Marcellus doesn't give me a chance to catch my breath.He carries me down the long corridor towards our suite. Every few steps, he stops to kiss me harder against the wall or a pillar, the feel of his lips against mine driving me crazy.By the time we reach our door, I'm dizzy.He manages to swipe the key card with one hand while still holding me up with the other. The second the door clicks open, he kicks it shut behind us and slams me against it.He sucks on my tongue, then bites my bottom lip hard enough to make me shiver before soothing it with another messy kiss."Fuck, I've been thinking about this all night," he mutters against my lips, his voice hoarse. I whimper when he drags two fingers against my folds, through my panties.“Mmm," he says. "You’re dripping."He carries me further into the suite and sets me down in the middle of the large bedroom. His eyes are dark, almost black with lust as he moves back."Take it off,

  • 100 Days With My Nemesis   ~031~ HOTTER THAN RAMEN

    NOVA I swallow hard, picturing a plate of spicy ramen. The kind that is loaded with chili oil, different kinds of peppers, garlic, and that deep, rich broth that burns in the best way. The kind that makes your lips tingle and your body warm from the inside out. The kind you can't stop eating even when it's too hot.I start salivating.My thighs press together harder. Marcellus must feel it because his fingers flex against my skin.I can't do this.I can't sit here while he touches me like this in front of everyone. I shoot to my feet so fast that I startle everyone.Every single head turns toward me. The organizer pauses mid-sentence, blinking in surprise."Mrs. Gregory?" he says, smiling politely even though confusion lingers on his face. "Do you have something to say?"My brain completely blacks out for a second. I clear my throat, trying to look composed even though my face is on fire."I just..." I start, forcing a smile. "I just really like the idea of creating a dish tha

  • 100 Days With My Nemesis   ~030~ THE DINNER FROM HELL PT. II

    NORA The table falls into a stunned silence. Tasha's face turns an ugly shade of red.She lets out a strained laugh. "Excuse me?"Marcellus calmly removes the cherry pit from his mouth and places it neatly on the edge of his plate."Did I stutter?"The silence grows heavier. Tasha grips the stem of her wine glass so tightly that her knuckles turn white."That's a disgusting accusation," she snaps.Marcellus nods thoughtfully, as if considering her words. "You're right," he says.Relief drifts across her face for a nanosecond. Then he continues."It would be disgusting... if it weren't true."A few gasps rise around the table.Tasha's mouth opens and closes like a fish. Her husband's face turns purple. He slams his napkin onto the table and stands up so fast that his chair scrapes loudly against the floor."Unbelievable," he mutters, then storms out of the dining room without looking back.Tasha shoots Marcellus a murderous glare, her hands shaking as she grabs her clutch. Then

  • 100 Days With My Nemesis   ~029~ THE DINNER FROM HELL

    NORA Tiffany beams at us, completely oblivious to the sudden tension in the air."Oh, you two haven't properly met yet! This is my husband, Josh. Josh, this is Marcellus Gregory and his wife, Nora."What is with this woman and introducing herself ten thousand times?!The man beside her moves forward with an easy, friendly smile. He's handsome in a clean-cut way, but something about his face feels... off. Like it doesn't quite fit.Hmmm... facial reconstruction surgery? Maybe. It does seem like it."Nice to meet you," Josh says, extending his hand towards Marcellus.Marcellus doesn't take it.Instead, he tilts his head slightly, and a menacing smirk spreads across his lips. His eyes, however, remain ice-cold."Marcellus Gregory," he says. "We have met before. On a business trip a few years ago. We had quite a lot in common back then."Josh's face lights up with recognition that doesn't quite reach his eyes."Really? That's crazy. I had an accident two years ago and lost a big ch

  • 100 Days With My Nemesis   ~028~ EYES ON YOU

    NORA The knock comes again, and I glance down at Marcellus. He's still asleep against my chest. My thoughts stray as I wonder just how long he'd been living in hell.The knock returns again, louder."Coming!" I hiss.Quickly locking his phone, I place it back on the nightstand exactly where I found it. My hands are shaking. I carefully slide out from under him, and Marcellus makes a low sound of protest, reaching for me in his sleep.Shit!"Don't start," I mutter.I grab a pillow and gently tuck it into my place. His arm wraps around it instantly.The idiot.I hurry across the suite and yank open the door. Standing outside is a woman wearing a production badge and a headset.She smiles brightly."Mrs. Gregory! Sorry to bother you. We just wanted to remind all contestants about tonight's welcome dinner."My brain struggles to catch up."Tonight?""Yes. Eight o'clock." She hands me a glossy envelope. "Transportation will pick everyone up at seven-thirty."I take it automatically.

  • 100 Days With My Nemesis   ~027~ BEYOND HIS WALLS

    NORA I've been pacing the length of the hotel suite for the last twenty minutes, my stomach in knots.Marcellus has been in the bathroom for almost an hour. He didn't look good when we got here. His hand stayed tight around mine the entire ride to the hotel, but his eyes were distant, like he wasn't really here. I kept asking if he was okay. He kept saying he was fine.He's not fine.I stop pacing and stare at the closed bathroom door. The longer I look at it, the more uneasy I feel. What if something's actually wrong? What if the migraine came back worse? Or what if... whatever happened on the tarmac is still affecting him?I chew on my bottom lip, my arms crossed tightly over my chest.Fuck it.I march over to the bathroom and knock once."Marcellus?"He doesn't answer.So I knock again, harder. "Mars?"Still nothing happens.My heart starts beating faster. I try the handle. It's unlocked. Cautiously, I push the door open. The sight that greets me makes my stomach sink.Ma

  • 100 Days With My Nemesis   ~008~ CRACKS IN HIS ARMOR

    MARCELLUS The silence that hovers after I mention my mother is exquisite. Hayden Wolfe looks like I've just buried a knife between his ribs and twisted it slowly. Color drains from his face, and then it floods back with raw fury. It's not nearly satisfying. I've rehearsed this moment for years.

  • 100 Days With My Nemesis   ~007~ WHEN THE SAXOPHONE GROWS LOUDER

    NORA Every head in the room whips around. Marcellus's expression darkens with icy annoyance. Someone dared to interrupt his perfectly orchestrated trap. A familiar voice echoes through the stunned silence like a battle cry. "ABSOLUTELY THE FUCK NOT!" Valentina, my chaotic best friend who is

  • 100 Days With My Nemesis   ~006~ MIDDLE FINGER UP

    NORA The dress fits like it was sewn onto my body by some sadistic fairy godmother who knows exactly what makes my curves look lethal. Soft lace hugs my waist before flowing into a dramatic but manageable train. The white sneakers peeking out underneath are the most ridiculous and somehow

  • 100 Days With My Nemesis   ~005~ TRICK OR TREATS

    NORA I finally collapse onto my bed, the familiar scent of my childhood room doing nothing to calm the storm in my head. Two Tylenol and a glass of water later, and my skull is still spinning like a broken carousel. I refuse to think about the fact that I might or might not be legally marr
