Love For The Wicked Book Three. In my eyes, the world is a huge sandbox created for the big boys. Girls, money, business… and I always strive to come out on top until my father gave me an ultimatum. I needed to find a wife, or I’d lose my rights to the family business. I found the perfect woman for the scheme I devised, of course. She was beautiful, feisty, the picture-perfect wife to make my father believe I was done playing games. In return, she needed a favor, the kind that takes nine months to deliver. The rules were laid out meticulously, from the no touching to fake falling in love. After a year, we would part ways amicably with no hassle, no demands, and no regrets; after all, it was all just a game. As my plan took its course, it dawned on me that playing house was a game I never should have played. She started to grow on me, from that sexy little pout to the late nightcap, the endless dirty banter, and even the fights we had. I realize I enjoyed having her around. Trouble is, how will I make her believe I am not playing games anymore? That I don’t want her to be just my contract wife, that I don’t want twelve months with her but more?

All I wanted was a one-night stand with some random guy, just to get back at my boyfriend, who had insulted me for never being able to feel anything for him. I had left Brooklyn with my best friend, Ashley, to spend spring break in Cabo. The deal was to have fun like a normal young adult and have a one-night stand with any guy, just to prove a point. I ended up in the bed of a man with the most mesmerizing eyes I’d ever seen—a man I knew nothing about. He pleased me in ways I didn’t think were possible. Every touch, every kiss, every whisper of his hands against my skin ignited a hunger I hadn’t realized I had. But when I woke up the next day, the stranger was gone. I thought it was just a one-night fling and that I'd never see him again—only to find out he was my new statistics professor. "Do… do you remember me?" I asked nervously in his office. He glanced at me with those beautiful, icy eyes and replied, "No, I don’t… Am I supposed to know you?"

And then I see its eyes - like two lone stars. My heart throttles into my ribs. The thing must be seven feet tall, maybe more. The edges of its being blend into the darkness, but its stare is electric. Just as I focus on the features of its face, I blink, and it's turned, slinking away, leaving a gap in the trees." ☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙ ‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ When Mia was young, her closest friend Abby warned her of supernatural beings.
