His mouth crashed mine again, harder this time, as if he could erase Javier’s name from my lips by devouring them. His hands slid over me, rough and frantic, pulling me against him so tightly I could feel the violent thrum of his heartbeat.

I gasped into him, nails biting into his shoulders. A protest trembled on my tongue, but the heat of him, the desperation, drowned it out. His fury poured into me, and against all reason, I poured mine right back.

“Mine,” Joaquin growled, his voice a rasp that vibrated against my skin as his mouth trailed down my throat. His teeth grazed my pulse, sharp, punishing, possessive. “Say it, Haven.”

The command should have terrified me. Should have made me shove him off, slap him, scream. Instead, my lips parted on a moan. My body arched toward his touch like a traitor, craving more, craving him.

And in his office—when people are outside! I know he has blackout curtains but still…

  • Pen & Passion   Good Night

    I fluffed the pillow beside me, sliding down against the cool sheets as the credits rolled across the screen. Javier was still lounging at the edge of the bed, his profile sharp in the flickering light, eyes distant like he wasn’t watching the movie at all.“You can take the bed,” he muttered suddenly, running a hand through his damp hair. “I’ll sleep on the couch.”I scoffed, hugging the pillow to my chest. “Oh, please. As if we haven’t shared a bed before.”He turned, brows arching. “That was when we were kids, Haven. A blanket fort and popcorn don’t count. Things are… different now.”I tilted my head, feigning nonchalance. “Different how?”“Don’t play dumb and innocent, Haven. You’re smarter than this and you pretty much know what I mean.” His gaze didn’t waver. “Because now,” his voice dropped low, threaded with honesty that made my stomach twist, “I have feelings for you.”I snorted. “Yeah, okay… you got a point. We’re both adults.”“Yeah, adults.” He leaned in closer, his breath

  • Pen & Passion   Fear, Hope, Longing

    The credits rolled on the last episode of the series we’d been watching, but neither of us moved. Javier lounged on one side of the couch, one arm sprawled across the backrest, while I curled up with a bowl of chips balanced on my lap.The movie menu on the screen looped lazily, familiar music filling the quiet space. My lips twitched into a smile. “You really dug this one up, huh?”Javier smirked, his eyes catching the glow of the television. “What? You loved it. Don’t tell me you don’t remember how obsessed you were with this movie when we were kids.”“I wasn’t obsessed,” I shot back, popping a chip into my mouth. “I just… watched it a lot.”He gave me a look, the kind that said he was enjoying catching me in a lie. “Every weekend. On repeat. To the point I wanted to throw the VHS out the window.”I laughed, the sound surprising me with how light it felt. It had been a long time since we laughed like this—like before everything got messy. “You’re exaggerating.”“I’m not.” His smile

  • Pen & Passion   4Predetor Circling Prey

    The hot water ran down my skin, chasing away the chill of the night, the tremor of what had almost happened on the street. I scrubbed harder than necessary, like I could erase the fear, the helplessness… and the way Javier’s fists had landed with so much rage, so much finality.And still, even with all that violence burning behind my eyelids, the only thing that lingered was this—how he’d looked at me the moment I cried out his name.Like I was the only thing keeping him tethered to the earth.I pressed my forehead against the tile, sighing. Javier had always been like this ever since we were kids. Too much, too wild, too intense… but always there when I needed him most. That part hadn’t changed.By the time I stepped out, steam curling around me, I felt steadier. My hair clung damp against my shoulders as I wrapped the towel tight and padded into the room. One of Javier’s shirts lay folded neatly at the edge of the bed, a dark black cotton that smelled faintly of cedar and smoke.I r

  • Pen & Passion   Because It's You

    The night air was sharp, but the wine in my system dulled it, turning the world into a blur of streetlights and neon signs.I clutched the half-empty bottle, my heels clicking unevenly against the pavement. People stared—some whispered—but I didn’t care. For once, I didn’t care about the contract, or Joaquin, or appearances.I just wanted to feel free.My laughter bubbled up unsteadily as I tipped the bottle again, the burn making me wince. Jessy and Ethan had both fallen asleep back at the apartment, and I… well, I slipped out.Not my smartest decision, but the thought of sitting still in that cozy living room while my chest ached felt unbearable.I wanted noise. Chaos. Anything but the silence inside me.I’d just turned down a dimmer street when the sound of whistles broke through. There aren’t a lot of people, which made it less conscious for me to walk around. I didn’t like people looking at me in such a state.“Well, well. Look what we’ve got here,” a voice drawled.I froze. Thre

  • Pen & Passion   The World Tilted

    I walked away from Joaquin’s office and since then, I’ve been getting stares. They saw me crying, of course. And since being involved with the Joaquin Greyson, most people already knew me as his fiancée by now.However, I didn’t care when people reached out and asked how I was. For sure news of me running away and crying in the streets have caught wind by Joaquin and his father.I don’t care anymore… I just want out. I don’t want to see him nor talk to him for now.And of course, the first thing I have to visit first things first… is my best friend.Jessy’s apartment smelled faintly of popcorn and vanilla-scented candles, a warm contrast to the cold storm I’d just walked out of. The moment she opened the door, her eyes went wide, and then she yanked me into a hug without asking a single question.“You look like you’ve been hit by a truck,” she whispered against my hair.“Close enough,” I muttered, my voice hoarse.Behind her, Ethan hovered in the living room, his usual composed demean
