Starco Between Friends Novels & Stories

A faint scar cut through one eyebrow. “Yeah,” I said, surprised my voice didn’t shake. “Just… driving through.” He nodded once, like that was enough answer. “I’m Jax.” He tilted his head toward his friend, who had wandered over with two more beers. “That loudmouth is Rico.” Rico grinned and set a fresh beer in front of me without asking. “Don’t let Jax scare you. He’s all bark. Mostly.” Jax shot him a look that wasn’t entirely friendly. “We’re from different worlds,” he told me, almost like he was warning me. “Rivals on paper. Friends when it counts.”

The heat I felt yesterday would probably come crashing back soon. I did need a reliable source on standby. “Fine. But we should set the terms now. Publicly, we’re a couple. Privately, this is a partnership. When I need you, you’ll provide the cuddles. I’ll pay you. Name your price.” What could we say? We succubi were naturally drawn to glittering things. Our ancestors struck gold in the early days - discovered entire mineral veins that laid the foundation for our legendary wealth. As I was just feeling quite pleased with my idea, the comments popped up like crazy again.

"We are partners. The $130 million will be sent to your account before you go." "Just send it now, we are going already. My date is not the party type." Daniel rushed his words. "Wait! You two aren't dating?" Zack arched his brows, licking his lips. I don't know why those brown eyes won't leave my body. "We are lovers. Yeah, we are dating. Daniel, can we go please?" I feighed a pout. I don't want men following me around. That's why I said that. Especially, Zack.

Caroline said, then smiled and winked at me before completely leaving. I nodded and smiled at Saint to greet him. "Saint! You're here too!" I said, then adjusted my seat. "Yup! I'm with my friends. I just saw Stella, so I asked you right away," he answered me, then showed me a big smile. Even though I was dizzy, I also smiled. Saint is a very good friend of mine. We met at a business gathering four months ago, and I tried to hang out with him since we have the same mindset when it comes to business. He is a businessman, and I am an architect, but I also have my own business, so my whole life revolves around more than just being an architect.

“Let’s go to the cafe outside the company. I have an appointment with a friend. It’s just a time.” “Friend? A man or a woman? Does RK know?” Carson's expression seemed as if he wanted to gossip. “A woman.” The corners of Stella’s mouth twitched as she hung up the phone. Although Carson and RK were old acquaintances, their personalities were quite different. One was outgoing, and the other was reserved. She didn’t know how they got to know each other, and how they become like 'frenemies'. Humans were really strange. When Stella arrived, Carson was already waiting for her in his seat.

I stepped forward and placed the card on the table. I made a mistake by glancing at Poseidon. And just as I had thought, he was seething. "I will keep this one though." I tried to smile and held up the Black Dread. Romeo and Elon both had hard looks on their faces, "Well, I don't know about the others but I am going to miss your coffee." He said with a straight face. I choked on a sob before laughing, turning to face around. I couldn't cry, I just couldn't.

“We meet again, Miss Miller.” It took her a moment to speak. What was his name? She was embarrassed to admit that she forgot. He grinned. “You forgot my name, didn’t you?” he said in a teasing tone, catching her off-guard. She was about to say something but immediately he added, “Jin Starck.” She shook his hand. “I’m sorry.” “That’s fine. It’s a first for me, though.” That should have made him sound cocky, but the tone he used made it easy for Adrienne to pass it up as a joke. “Please, have a seat.”

I said. They all nodded their head in agreement. "Hey, beautiful!" someone said and we all looked behind to see Stance walking towards me smiling. He is looking so good in his ripped jeans and V-neck T-shirt. I waved to him smiling. My friends rolled their eyes. He hugged me when he reached us. I saw my friends making faces. "I was thinking about going on a coffee date with you. What do you say?" he asked nervously. I thought for a moment and said, "Sure. I will text my brother not to pick me up as I am going out for coffee with my friends and then one of my friends can drop me back home."

I went down stairs in my office. " Good mood, Sir. " Rocky said. " Morning." I said, picking my coffee up. I always liked my coffee on my table. " Jimmy Stewart has a construction business in Canada and India. He has his hand in dark work. He is only one of Ricky's close friends. His two friends and family are no more. He's coming to Mexico in two days. " He said, showing me his picture on the laptop. I placed the coffee back and picked my phone and texted to the veil girl, - I wanna meet you with the second veil girl.
