Hmmmm… What in heaven’s name was that smell?

It wasn’t a bad smell. That was the first thing Liora’s half-asleep brain managed to register. In fact, the smell was clean, expensive, and completely foreign. Definitely not anything that belonged in her own bed. Her eyelids felt too heavy to lift. Her body felt weighted down, like someone had poured wet cement into her limbs while she was out.

Even through the fog, she could separate the scent into clear pieces. One: it was a person’s scent. Two: t

  • Deepest Mark (An Obsession Born In One Night)   Come to me!

    On Sunday morning, Liora stood in the small laundry room of the apartment, staring at the washing machine like it had personally betrayed her. It had worked fine the day before when Sofia used it. Now it sat there, silent and useless, the clothes she had shoved inside were still damp and half-washed. She had work clothes, and a growing pile of things she had been meaning to sort for days. Everything felt like it was piling up at once.She sighed, loud and long, and left the room. Another sigh slipped out as she walked towards the kitchen.Sofia was on the couch with her laptop open, legs crossed, and typing. She glanced up at Liora when she sighed the second second time“You’ve been doing that since morning,” Sofia said. “What’s wrong?”Liora didn’t answer. She walked to the kitchen, opened the fridge, stared at nothing, closed it again, and sighed once more.Sofia’s eyes narrowed. “Liora. I swear to God, if you sigh one more time without telling me what the problem is, I’m going to

  • Deepest Mark (An Obsession Born In One Night)   He isn't for me

    The following weekend, when Liora, Nora, and Sofia settled into a corner booth at the lounge, Nora excused herself and headed to the counter to order her usual specialty drink before their main order.While she waited, a guy they had noticed earlier hovered nearby, clearly trying to work up the nerve to speak to her. Every time she glanced in his direction he looked away, then looked back, then adjusted his collar like it had personally offended him. Sofia watched the whole thing from the booth with open amusement. While Liora winced on the guy’s behalf.“This is actually uncomfortable to watch,” Sofia murmured, swirling her drink. “too Painful even”“He won't make it. I can already see it,” Liora agreed.The nervous guy finally approached. Nora visibly exhaled in irritation and leaned against the counter once she had her drink in hand. “Most guys are nervous around her. But who could blame her for being irritated by all the fumbling and stuttering? Looking that flushed isn’t exac

  • Deepest Mark (An Obsession Born In One Night)   Shhhh! You don't want them hearing

    The shoot wrapped just after midday.The team began packing equipment under the trees while Evelyn’s handler guided her away for a break. Liora handed her camera off to Alisha, muttered that she needed the restroom, and headed toward the small wooden cottage near the edge of the garden… one of those well-kept utility buildings that looked more like a charming guest houseShe finished, washed her hands, and stepped back outside into the warm air. She had only taken a few steps when a hand closed around her wrist and yanked her backward.Liora stumbled, twisting. “What the…?”Rhys didn’t give her time to finish. He pulled her back into the cottage, down a short hallway, and into a small side room that smelled faintly of wood polish and old paper. He shut the door hard behind them and put the lock in placeLiora spun around, heart slamming. “Are you out of your fucking mind? People are right outside…”“They’re busy packing” Rhys leaned one hand against the door beside her head, caging

    By the time the car pulled up outside the apartment it was very late that the street was quiet. Liora’s legs felt unsteady when she stepped out. She had barely reached the second-floor landing when the door flew open.Sofia stood there in an oversized shirt, hair messy, eyes wide with worry. Nora appeared right behind her, her phone still in her hand.“Where the hell have you been?” Sofia demanded.Liora blinked. “I…”“You said you were going to the store,” Nora cut in. “That was hours ago. We walked down there and the woman said you left ages ago. We called you so many times”“My phone died,” Liora lied automaticallySofia’s gaze raked over her… the wrinkled clothes, the slightly swollen mouth, the residual unsteadiness she hadn’t managed to hide. “You look like shit. What happened to you?”“I ran into someone I know and lost track of time.” Liora pushed past them into the apartment, dropping onto the couch before her knees could give out. “I’m fine.”“You don’t look fine,” Nora said

  • Deepest Mark (An Obsession Born In One Night)   That's a goodbye kiss

    “You have got to be fucking kidding me.”Rhys turned fully to face her, glass still in his hand, expression unreadable. The light in the room cut across his face and made him look even more like the kind of man who always got exactly what he wanted. He didn’t speak right away. He just looked at her… like he was confirming to himself that she was really standing there.Liora’s pulse kicked hard against her throat. She hated that her body loves the way he runs his eyes over her. Hated that even now, after waking up in a locked room with no memory of how she got there, some stupid, traitorous part of her still registered how unfairly good he looked. Tall. Controlled. Expensive. The same man who had ruined her for anyone else in one reckless night and then spent every day since making her life complicated.“What am I doing here?” she asked him Rhys took a slow sip from his glass, eyes never leaving hers.“Who brought me here?” she demanded in a louder voice “My men,” he answered simply

Two: that person was male. Three: she had never in her life woken up to a man’s scent in her bed, because she didn’t do that kind of careless shit.Well, only once though. Guess it counts since that said man has been taunting her since then.But that wasn't the problem now. She needed to open her heavy eyes to see where she was.Liora forced one eye open. The space beside her was empty. Whoever had been there was already gone. She turned her head.. which felt unnaturally heavy… searching for her phon
