She could smell his spicy scent as he stood near her, all musky and sensuous. Josephine could have torn his clothes off and licked him all over but Josephine had to wait until he her me a sign.He put his hand on her arm and the tingles shot through her body, almost knocking her over. His fingers rested on her skin and pushed into her arm a little too much. Then for just one perfect moment, common sense left me completely. She had to do it, nothing in this world could stop her. She kissed him.For a brief moment, he pulled away and it felt like my heart was being ripped out. Then he pushed his lips back to mine, hard and passionate. His strong hand gripped her tiny arm and he sucked her in towards him, his lips exploring my mouth. All Josephine's strength disappeared and she could barely stand up.He kisses her with his hands, too. It sounded strange but that's exactly what it feels like—teasing her, by sliding them so softly under the warmth of her dress until they're brushing that s
Josephine woke up with a bright smile. She's currently sitting on the couch as she watches Elijah prepare breakfast for the both of them. The low volume of the tv hums in the air and the sizzling sound of eggs caused Josephine's stomach to ache of hunger.Yesterday was magical between Josephine and Elijah. They both finally decided to what they want the problem is when will Elijah finally have the guts to tell Elizabeth. She still has to ask Elijah about it but today is not the time as they are both happy and wouldn't exchange anything. Everything is perfect between them."I hope you don't burn down my kitchen." Josephine teases as she scrolls through Instagram. "Haha, very funny." Elijah let's out and Josephine giggles. Not a moment later Elijah hands Josephine a plate with her favorite croissants and berries with plain Greek yogurt on the side and eggs. Instantly her mouth waters at the sight of the food. She thanks Elijah and starts to devour the food. Her mouth watering as the f

While Josephine was sitting on the airplane seat, She lifted the window shades to catch a glimpse of the world under her. The once salmon and purple sky transformed into a vast expanse of jet-black that engulfed mountainous South Africa. A canopy of luminous stars materialized amongst the ocean of blackness. Some were dull, merely flickering into existence every now and then, but there was an adequate amount of shimmering stars to illuminate the dark, moonless night. The Adriatic Sea glistened, mirroring the dazzling assemblage of glittering stars and the luminescence from the tiny ports and food markets that lined the small country of. The faint wind brushed against the waters of the ocean, and the push of the waves reflected. The airplane tilted slightly to the right and began a slow and steady turn. Below, the capitol looked like square plots on a huge map. Small cars heading down two-way roads came into view, as well as enchanting various colored homes that brightened my window. Sh
Half an hour later, I’m showered and dressed for work in a suit and tie. I hate ties, but as the head of Gunner Entertainment, I have to look the part.I head into the living room of the bungalow I call home five days a week. There’s no sign of the blonde, except for the lingering strong scent of perfume.Thank God.I live in a rented bungalow at The Beverly Hills Hotel. I could get an apartment, but I can’t bring myself to put down roots here. Even though I grew up in Beverly Hills, it’s never felt like home. Home is in Malibu where my beach house is. It’s the house that Max and I rented for our year off before we headed to college. It’s the place where I met Evie and where I spent the best year of my life with her—before she left me, and my world came crashing down.The minute I graduated from Harvard and started working for my father, I was granted access to my trust fund. The first thing I did with that money was go straight to Malibu, and I offered a stupid amount of money to th
She’s here again—rock girl. She’s sitting up on that same big rock, a hundred yards away from my beach house, where she sits every day. Hence, the nickname, Rock Girl.God, I’m lame.With her sketchpad resting against her bent knees, her eyes are fixed on the paper like her life depends on it while her hand freely moves the pencil over the paper, drawing...I have no clue.I wish I did.I mean, I could take a wild guess and say she’s drawing the scenery—the pier, beach, sand, sky. There’s plenty of shit like that here in Malibu. But still, I want to know exactly what she’s drawing that has her so enraptured.Like, I really want to know.I’ve been watching Rock Girl for a week now.I saw her on the first day when Max and I arrived at the beach house,which will be my home for the next year. This will be my year of freedom before I have to go to Harvard, and then once I graduate, it is on to work for my father to learn the family business.Can’t wait. I have to stop myself from rolling m
My hands are shaking. They’ve been shaking pretty much all day. Every time I think about Adam, the shakes start. How I haven’t managed to break a cup, I’m not sure.He looks the same yet different. He looks hardened to the world. The light that used to live in his eyes has dulled. But he’s still as handsome as ever, if not even more so with age.Adam never looked like a boy. He was always very much a man, even at eighteen. But now, he’s reached his full potential. He seems even bigger somehow.Or maybe it was just his anger that made him seem bigger, more imposing.All that anger, and it was reserved solely for me.The guy I left behind all those years ago was not the man I saw today.I have to wonder if I’m to blame for that.I glance at the clock. Five minutes until the end of my shift. Fiveminutes until Adam is here, and he wants his answers.Answers I can’t give him.So, I’m going to have to lie, something I never wanted to do.I thought there was a slim possibility that I might
