“Did you also get a text from Jordan?” I ask as I stare at Jonathan.

He nods, already getting to his feet. He extends his hand to me and pulls me up. I dress up, forcing myself not to worry.

Why would he text me and Jonathan at the same time?

Does he know already about my relationship with Jonathan? Does he know that I'm here with his friend? My heart squeezes with panic and I force myself to calm down.

As if sensing my emotions, Jonathan slips his hand into mine and squeezes gently.

    “You make me wet.” I say.He groans and shakes his head. “I protect you. That is the other thing I do asides suck the fun out of your life.”I blush, feeling stupid.“It's good you agree you suck the fun out of my life.” I say, attempting to get back some control after the nonsense I spat out earlier.He suddenly stiffens and the mood shifts. His paranoia gets to me and I find myself looking around as he does, though I admit I suck at the job than he does.He makes the job easier. He looks calm and if I wasn't used to him, I won't know that he is assessing where we are.I look the opposite. My heart is racing and my eyes dart around. “Let's go.” He pulls my hand and starts walking, marching out of the club.“Where are we going?” I squeak.He glances at me. “Shut up for once and follow me without arguing, Gabrielle.”“Shut me up.” The words slide out before I can catch myself.He gives me a narrowed gaze and then shakes his head. “I can't believe that you still dare to flirt with me i

    I hope he isn't a virgin.If he is, I hope he doesn't have a vow to abstain.If he does, then he is in trouble. I'm the Jezebel destined to steal his virtues, and that I will definitely do because I can't help myself.Who the hell employs a bodyguard as hot as hell?No one but my dad.“You have to wear this under your dress.” He says, handing me a bulletproof jacket.I arch my eyebrow at him. “This can't fit under my dress.” I say, running my hand along my body to show the tight dress but more importantly, my sexy curves.The sexy curves no one I want but this exasperating man has ever resisted.“I believe you should change the dress.” He says in a commanding tone that gets me both annoyed and wet.“I'm the boss. You don't command me, Travis.”It's tragic he doesn't like me despite everything I do.He doesn't bat an eyelash and keeps staring at me. I blush, feeling thoroughly scolded like a school girl.“I can't wear something other than this to a party.”“I'm being paid to keep you a

  • Webs of Dark Passion   Capture My Heart (3)

    Skye stares at him without a word for moments. If she is gathering her thoughts or melting at the sight of him, I have no idea. For both our sakes, I hope it's not the latter.The cheat shifts on his face and his discomfort delights me more than the credit alert that makes my phone ping at that moment.“It’s a pleasure to see you. You didn't tell me you were coming though.”Mistake number one. Typical of a cheat.I have a vantage position where I'm parked, and can see and hear everything. Skye’s eyes darken. “Do I need permission to visit my boyfriend?” She says, her voice intentionally slightly raised beyond what is normal for a conversation between two people.Jacob's eyes unconsciously dart to the apartment, panic shining bright in his eyes. I catch the act and so does Skye. She glances at the house, her lips flattened into a line.“Are you on your way out?”He sees the words as a lifeline instead of a trap and clutches desperately at it. “Yes.” He nods. “Should we go together?”S

    “You look good.” Skye says as I walk into the shoot venue.I smile, hoping I'm not as red as I think I am. Scrubbing myself clean and deciding on an outfit for hours didn't go in vain.She chuckles. “Oh! You are blushing.” Damm it, I shouldn't be.“Let's get started.” Fred claps as he joins us, ruining the party.I spend one hour having fun taking pictures of Skye. Too soon, Fred ends the party, claiming that he has another engagement and Skye has somewhere to get to as well.Too bad. Fred moves closer to Skye. I can't hear what they say but I keep a close watch on Skye. Her face falls and I'm an inch closer to punching Fred in the face for making her sad when they start moving toward me. My payment be damnedFred sighs as he stares into my eyes, making me anxious as I wonder what it is that he wants to say.“Do you mind dropping Skye on the way home?” He asks.Do I mind?Is he kidding?I will gladly drive her around the world without batting an eyelash.Fred continues without waiti

    She is perfect.The light illuminates her well and the poses bring out her well-defined angles. Skye, the pride of every fashion magazine.The object of my secret crush that no one must know about, not even her.She is way above my league.As an assistant photographer, I can't dare to want her, except I'm tired of my source of livelihood.“Have you gotten everything you need?” Fred, the director of Mirage Agency, walks over.I nod. I already did minutes ago. I'm only rolling the cameras for my personal pleasure.Skye breathes in relief and stands up from the chair she has been perched on for the past one hour. That must have been hard. I want to run to her and give her a massage till all the knots are out of her body.“Let me see what you have.” Fred says.I hold my camera and slide the pictures, my heart rate speeding up when Skye leans closer to me to see the pictures clearly.Her scent invades my head and it takes huge control to hear the murmurs of compliments Fred is waving my w

  • Webs of Dark Passion   Teach Me Lines (2)

    My heart slams hard against my chest as I stare at him, unable to utter a word. Did Annabel rat me out? Did she tell him that I ogle him when I think no one is watching?Does he suspect what I feel for him?He sighs and shakes his head. “I'm sorry for asking you that. Maybe it was too personal.”Personal as how?He explains. “Everyone in my family thinks I've mourned Annabel's mother enough. It's been six years but I can't stop thinking of her. My sister intentionally made me buy these sanitary pads even though she has a closet full of them so I can get used to getting them for a lady.” He looks away briefly. “I'm sorry I asked you. I just wanted to ask someone neutral if I'm being difficult.”Someone neutral? I hate those words. I will give away my saving to have him refer to me as something else; something special.I brush off my pain and think of him. I think of the pain he had gone through losing the woman he loved, the struggle of raising Annabel all by himself, the misery of kn

    "Extend my regards to your boyfriend." Sally, my roommate says as I pack my bag for the holiday. I roll my eyes, hating hearing the same tease for years and giving the same response. "Logan isn't my boyfriend." I respond with a sigh, reminding her just as I have always been reminding everyone e

    "You have just three months left to live." I stare at the doctor, wishing that I am deaf and he hasn't just proclaimed a death sentence on me. I fight back the tears threatening to spill out of my eyes, hating how pathetic my life is. I am just twenty-two, freshly out of college and have a ton of

    I stand up, pull up my already short skirt and head to his office. I smile as the door opens, telling myself that he wants me as much as I want him. He would have locked the door if he didn't. I stare in surprise at the sight before me. Aiden has his tie off his neck and his hair ruffled, giving

    "Amy!" I gasp at the mention of my name, sitting upright and staring at the computer in confusion. "Were you even listening to me?" He snorts and shakes his head in his usual manner that shows how pathetic he finds me but I always find it amusing. "Yes, boss." I slur, blinking at him throu
