♡Astrid♡

He tugged on my hair before tilting his head to the side, basically eating my lips.

Goosebumps broke out on my skin, and I ran my hands down his back.

It should be illegal to be this good of a kisser. My legs felt like jelly, and I thought for a second they'd give out under me.

He knew—because in the next second, he was backing me up against the wall, his fingers digging into my waist.

He pulled away so we could both get air. His hooded eyes searched mine.

I cocked my head to the side slightly.

"Got it?" I whispered. Not because I wanted to, but because that was all my voice could manage at the moment.

He smirked, his eyes dropping to my lips for a second before returning to meet mine.

"Sangria. Fruity taste," he muttered, and I pursed my lips.

Yeah, it had a fruity taste. But how did he know that?

He placed his forehead on mine and drew in a deep breath.

"You should return to the party. I'll join you in a few minutes," he murmured before stepping back, his eyes searching my

  • A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss   A Taste

    ♤Adrian♤I looked around the room. Where was Astrid? I was sure I’d seen her with Joan just a few minutes ago. Now, Joan was all over a brunette, and Astrid was nowhere to be found.I'd walked across the room, met Aaron, and handed over the gifts we’d brought him. Our relationship didn’t thrive on communication, but he’d told me he was glad we’d made it and thanked me for the gifts.So yeah, maybe Astrid was right. He was my friend, but our friendship was different from others.A brown-haired woman stepped in front of me, a glass of wine in her hand and her lips tipped up in a small smile. I stared down at her, already annoyed that she was in my path.“I’m guessing you’re Aaron’s associate, Adrian?” she asked. I let out a breath. This was why I hated events like this—socializing, small talk... it was draining and mentally exhausting.“In person,” I said flatly, my eyes scanning past her, searching for a certain blonde head.Her smile widened and she tipped her glass slightly in gree

  • A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss   Pain

    ♡Astrid♡We arrived at the party on time, luckily. Guests streamed into the hotel where they’d planned the party. They were all fancily dressed, and for a moment, I felt slightly underdressed.Adrian stepped out of the car and turned around to open mine. He offered his hand, staring down at me. I hesitated for a second before taking it. He helped me up, then went around and grabbed the gifts we’d bought.I rubbed my hands together, waiting for him. He returned to my side and raised a brow.“You good?” he asked, and I nodded, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.“Yeah. I just feel slightly underdressed,” I muttered.He looked me over before meeting my eyes again. “You’re not underdressed. For an event like this, you match the theme and keep it simple. You’re an event planner, so don’t ever doubt your style.”He grabbed my hand with his free one. His brown eyes searched mine.“You’re beautiful just the way you are,” he added, and my chest fluttered. That was sweet to hear.Damn it, t

  • A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss   Baby Shower

    ♡Astrid♡By the time Joan's baby shower came knocking, I was able to walk on my own. Not as fast, but I definitely wasn't wincing when I stood on my feet anymore.I stared at the mirror, careful not to hurt myself with the curling iron. The bedroom door opened, and Adrian walked in. I met his eyes through the mirror. He cocked his head to the side."Not done?" he asked, approaching me, and I pressed my lips together."Obviously," I muttered, and he hummed, holding my gaze through the mirror. Our relationship was still kind of strained, but it was better.Stakes were cleared. We had one common enemy now, and well, even if things didn’t work out between us, we could put our differences aside and achieve our goal. He was dressed in a blue suit, leaving the top two buttons of his white shirt open, giving a glimpse of his tan skin.Not gonna lie. Blue suited him, and it was a huge contrast from the normal black he wore.He’d brushed his hair to the side, and his eyes looked a lighter sha

  • A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss   Confessions

    ♡Astrid♡He was gone by the time I woke up. I had no idea where he'd gone, considering the fact he hadn't woken me or even given me a heads-up if he was going to leave early.I sat up on the bed, pushing my hair out of my face.Oh well, it was gonna be tough moving around without someone to help, but it'd be fine. I would be fine. I had to be.I swung my good leg down the bed before carefully trying to move the other one too. I needed to pee and would just very well take myself to the bathroom.I sat on the edge of the bed with both my legs on the floor. I drew a deep breath before rising to my feet.Pain shot through me and I winced, trying to move toward the bathroom. Hell, it didn't hurt this much when I limped to the entrance yesterday.Or—don’t tell me I worsened the condition myself.I was already halfway through the room when the door opened and Adrian walked in. His eyes narrowed at me."What are you doing?" he asked, walking toward me. He didn’t hesitate in scooping me up int

  • A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss   Footage

    ♤Adrian♤I handed her a glass of water and watched as she took a sip. She tilted the glass slightly and glanced at me.“Thank you,” she murmured. I shook my head and walked to the other side of the bed, sitting down.“It’s nothing,” I replied quietly. She looked at me over her shoulder before turning away. Silence settled between us, not uncomfortable, but certainly not easy. Something unspoken lingered in the air.She stared at the glass in her hands, perched lightly on the bed.“About Derrick,” she began.“He’s been taken care of,” I interrupted, eyes fixed on the ceiling.She set the glass on the nightstand and turned to face me, folding her legs beneath her.“The police? Will he be tried?” she asked. I met her gaze. Curiosity—and something harder to define—swirled in her blue eyes. My lips lifted slightly, though nothing was amusing.“For now? No. He’s got a score to settle with me first. Once that’s done, the authorities can have him,” I said.A small smile tugged at her lips be
