Playing on my computer screen was the final episode of this season's best anime. The girls were all beautiful and had big personalities,  there was the feisty tsundere, the sexy onee-san,  the loli who's actually like a thousand years old, and my personal favorite,  the psycho yandere  [ don't judge me]. To top it off, the mc was just like me, a NEET with black hair, blue eyes, not fat but not buff, and fairly average looking.  He got transported to another world and now has a harem, he's rich and he's op. 

" Seiji, when are you going to get out of your room and socialize!" ( voice)
It's my mom. Ever since summer started she's been pestering me to go outside and socialize. [ I don't want to, the sun is too bright, the people outside are noisy, and I am just not in the mood to socialize]. She continues to harass me from downstairs. 
" Seiji, your sixteen now, those girls you watch on your screen aren't going to become real and satisfy your desires! " (mom)
[ Jokes on you mom, with the development of technology 2d girls can become real,  ever hear of VR]
" I want to see my grandkids before I die and at the rate your going I'll never see them!" (mom)

If I don't respond this will continue for hours.  Her job gives her breaks during the summer so I'm stuck with her. I guess I'll have to use my trump card again. 
" Mom, I actually got an internship at an video game developer " (me)
" So your just going to play video games how does that change anything " ( mom)
" Sakura-san and some of my classmates also got internships there. I'll be with them and I'll make connections while enjoying developing video games " (me)
" Well I don't know, I'm not sure if you're being truthful.  Tell me the name of the developer so I can call to confirm " (mom)
" So you don't trust me mum? I thought I was the apple of you eye, your best friend, your belle, your partner in crime. I didn't know we had drifted so far apart... < sniff > " ( me)
" No you're still all those things. Ok I'll believe you. When do you have to go to the office " ( mom)
[ She thinks she's got me]
" Today actually. I was getting dressed before you interrupted me." ( me)

There was silence from downstairs.  Now I had to do my end of things. I got dressed and went downstairs. My mom sat there on the living room couch. She was in a housecoat and wearing fluffy bunny slippers while she watched tv. Her blonde hair and blue eyes shone in the sunlight she was being bathed in coming from the window. [Right now all I could see was a bum hanging out in her pajamas,  and she had the gall to chase me out cuz I was being a NEET]

"I'm off. I locked my door because I don't want you to rummage through my stuff like last time" (me)
"Ok, ok. I won't go in your room. I hope to hear you development on Sakura-san when you get back." (mom)
"Yeah" (me)

I put on my shoes and left the house. Now for the real plan to be put into motion.  I circled back and went to our backyard.  I hopped over the fence and walked to the side of the building. There was a tree in our backyard that had a branch which basically enters my room when my window is opened.  [Did I forget to mention that I left my window open].
I climbed the tree and snuck into my room. Anyone in the neighborhood who saw this would probably think I was a burglar but after seeing me do this numerous times they've gotten used to it.

"Aahh" (me)
I laid on my bed with my laptop and headphones.  Mom will probably fall asleep by evening and not see me get back, so tomorrow I'll just say I got back late and she was already asleep. 
[ I should probably feel bad for betraying my mom's trust but I don't.  She uses the same flattery technique to get me to do stuff, so I just consider this payback]

"Aahh, it's over" ( me)
I've just finished the anime I was previously watching. The mc defeated the demon king's general and added her to his his harem. A shy succubus that had a killer body. [The mc is so lucky, having the good life. Why can't I be taken to another world. If I were to go, would I be taken by truck-kun or just suddenly drop dead or a portal opens and...]

< WHIZZZZ >
A portal appears in my bedroom. It was about the size of a fist. A bottle suddenly ejects from the portal and landed on my bedroom floor. The bottle has a note in it. [Is this the start of my adventure?]. I pick up the bottle, remove the cork and take out the note.

It reads:
Dear Sir,
We would like to request you to come to a new world. You will be able to fulfill you desires here. Do you consent to come? If so please sign below and put the note back in the bottle and return it through the portal. 

It's legit, the paper was rough just like the paper of medieval times,  it even had some scratches, dust and dirt on it.[ Finally I'll be able to get the life I desire. I'll be op, have girls fawning over me. I'll have futuristic knowledge compared to the medieval knowledge of that world so I'll be able to make lots of money inventing stuff.]
I immediately take a pen from my desk and sign my name on the paper.
: Seiji B. Makise 
I put the paper back in the bottle and throw it into the portal. 
The portal expands to the size of a door. I take the standard neet tracksuit jacket and  without hesitation jump through the portal. [Don't worry for me mom, I'll make a couple of grandkids for you soon]

I arrive in a huge white room. Standing in the middle of it was  a cute girl. She had flowing blonde hair, grey eyes and a moderate bust.She's wearing a button shirt, a tight skirt and wore a lab coat. [ It's a good start for my harem]
She pulls out a small book from one of her lab coat pockets and flips through it.
She looks at me and says
"Oopsie" (girl)
I suddenly start to feel hot, like really hot. It soon becomes unbearable. 
" Help me!" (me)
"It's okay " (girl)
"No, it's not okay, stop looking at that book and help m..." (me)
I blew up, like blood guys and intestines. 
[This sucks]

I was a NEET and I got the chance to go to another world. Finally I can fulfill my dreams of being op, getting a harem, being rich... wait this isn't what I signed up for. This world sucks, I want to go home now.

"There he stood My Man, I am sure I was the only one who could say I own the Devil, this bad boy is made for me, and the way he looked made me drool, I just wanted to hold his collar drag him to my room, shackle him and lick him from top to bottom like a popsicle in hot summer"




 I raised my eyes to meet with his, the devilish smirk and mischievous smile on his face made me blush thinking " he reads my thought pretty well" I recovered quickly and met his smoldering gaze, how could I deny a challenge I let my lecherous gaze inspect his body and I let my tongue sweep over my lips I mouthed my thoughts to him " delicious"



Just then my Gramp coughed making me realize I was frozen at the entrance I panicked for a second looking at the audience waiting for us to perform our wedding but then I  thought " today is my day, and fuck you if you will stop me from checking out my man" I held my Gramps arm and moved forward.




Finally we were in front of aisle Overlord was standing below the long sleek stairs waiting for me, the stairs  were pretty slim and high making me wonder how would I climb them in this long gown and high heels when I felt his hand on my waist and he swooped me 100 feet above the ground to the stage where a gorgeous lady was waiting for us wearing white glittering gown.



I had to say she was the only one dressed in white making her more attractive I was in black, Overlord in black suit accompanied by rusty violet shirt and traditional printed tie. I have to say, this is the first time I saw Overlord in a complete assemble. 



When we lived in palace believe me not he wore weird sweat shirts with different cartoon character printed on them, mostly there was a character from Batman but once I had to bleach my eyes when I saw Powerpuff girls on his sweat shirt with a geeky specks but his good look, Charm and aura made him look damn sexy.



When he proposed me he wore casual shirt and jeans but this was sexy on another level. I leaned towards him whispering " who is this lady, didn't you inform her that black was the dress code" he laughed out loud kissed me in my lips which embarrassed me making me blush he finally introduced her 




" Morna this is Luna, the Moon goddess and my sister and she will commence our wedding as for her dress she thinks if she will wear anything else especially black all mortals will say moon has more spots than usual and those sneaky NASA people will come visit her which she thought disturbed her mood".




I looked at Luna she had part charming and part mischievous vibe with her which I thought was similar to Overlord. I smiled at her which she replied with a warm hug " Finally the day has arrived when the devil will be roped in, and I thought my brother would not be able to enjoy sex forever because of his stone dick"




Giggle escaped from my lips which was returned with a glare from the Overlord. Luna stopped her teasing seeing his brother anxious to start the wedding. Luna held my left hand with the ring and the soul stone while the other hand she placed on my heart when I felt the warm feeling swept towards the ring, I felt giddiness in my head, excited that finally I am getting married.




But suddenly Overlord stood in front of us as a guard making me nervous for his sudden action that's when I saw a huge fireball coming towards us at a fast speed, I stood frozen when Overlord swept his hand in front of him and a huge black shield covered all three of us, when a beautiful and musical laughter rang in the hall 




" You dare to marry my daughter without informing her mother Overlord, don't you think you have gone overboard with this"

She died tragically by her family's hand and even after death she faced another dilemma in form of Lord of death himself....Just a single touch I was claimed as his wife to be...I wanted a peaceful death but what I got was tribulations... betrayal...politics....and lots of steamy romance...it was after life full of twist but if I spent it in the arms of Overlord....that's a nirvana my friend

Making his way along the dark, half-flooded underground passage, Doom clutched the rubber boots he'd stolen at a flea market with both hands to keep them on.
"You couldn't care less about your appearance, but you still do your best to keep yourself clean," Robin said from a deep armchair.
Anastasia was warming a small teapot on a hot plate.
They used the small room, a former boiler closet Robin had transformed into a movie theater, as their hiding place. As it was somewhat elevated above the rest of the basement, it wasn't flooded, though the way there was blocked by intricate black-magic traps in addition to the water. When they went there the first time (prompted by Robin, who claimed there was an untold treasure of knowledge waiting at the finish line), Alexander had literally gotten in over his head destroying other people's spells.
"What are we watching today?" Robin clicked the remote control, scrolling down the virtually endless list of movies. "Titanic? Les Miserables? Hachiko?"
The hot plate Anastasia pottered around stood on a wood stub. The halved log served as a table. Meanwhile, the giant, almost 80-inch TV screen was connected to…a dozen potatoes and forty oranges pierced with wires.
Needless to say, the potatoes and oranges were enchanted. By Anastasia. That kind of magic was too fine for Robin, and Alex was just learning how to use it. Anastasia was teaching him.
If Professor Raewsky had known Anastasia (Nastya, as he called her) did that, he…
He'd probably have praised her first. And then he would have burned the whole basement down.
The main rule at Follen School was: no technology.
Coal heating. No electricity. A Faraday cage inside the walls to fully block off wireless signals coming in from outside.
No web access.
No magic lenses.
How did Robin get the TV and hot plate in here? That was a riddle Alexander struggled to solve.
"The Pianist, maybe?"
"The Pianist? Are you crazy, wifey? The basement's already flooded. When the wonder kid sees The Pianist, it'll be like drowning inside the Titanic. I'm not DiCaprio, and I'll be able to get on the raft, but…"
"You think Hachiko would be less emotional?"
"The kid is a total cat person. He'll just giggle at a great comedy like that."
"No. The Pianist."
To emphasize that it was her final word, Anastasia dropped a tray with three plain tin mugs on the log table. Delicious vapor came from the strong black tea with lemon and sugar. A weird but tasty drink.


***

Mara wondered how someone could drink that much without getting drunk. Professor Dumsky was already pouring a glass from his third bottle of whiskey, and his rhythm remained perfect. There was not a single false note as his fingers glided over the keys just as smoothly, shedding invisible blood.


***
"That's it. Just a bit slower," Anastasia said again. "Don't hurry. Feel the rhythm."
In the middle of the vast dark hall with curtained-off windows, a little boy and a tall, beautiful girl from the icy lands of northern Russia were playing a grand piano.
Anastasia was playing it, actually. Alexander was just learning.
For the second straight week.
But he could at least play a small, two-act piece.
"Oh, Sasha, I don't know. Honestly."
"Is there anything you don't know, Anastasia?"
"Sure. Why so surprised?"
"Um…" The boy was embarrassed. "I don't know. I always used to think you knew everything. Not like Robin."
"Hey!" came an indignant echo from the far corner. "I'm right here."
"I know," Dumsky teased.
Anastasia laughed and patted the boy's hair down. Unlike her boyfriend, she never ruffled it.
Alexander hated having his hair ruffled.
"No one in the world can know everything, Sasha."
"Even Professor Raewsky?"
A heavy silence fell on the room. It was so heavy that the black curtains covering the old stained-glass windows felt like spider silks or flying fluff in comparison.
"Not even him, wonder kid. Not even him. Okay, let's move on to the third part."
"Great!"

***

"May the Serpent guide you through the sands, Farrokh."
"Loki by your hearth, Robin. Who's that hiding behind your back?"
"I'm not hiding!"
"He isn't."
"Oh, I beg my pardon then, monsieur, for daring to disrespect you. Would you care to share your good name?"
"Alexander Dumsky."
"What a brave name. Like a general."
"Don't tell me you knew Alexander the Great."
"What if I do?"
"Then you're a liar."
"Why?"
"Because you're no more than four hundred years old. Sure, you're really old even though you pretend otherwise, but that's not old enough to have met Alexander the Great. He lived much earlier."
"Wow."
"You can call him wonder kid, Farrokh. When he grows up, he's going to beat every single member of the club."
"Even you, Robin?"
"Pffft, I'll be first. Actually, I'm here for a drink and to enlist Alexander in the organization. But I don't see you letting me get started with either."
"You're his guarantee?"
"Yes."
"It looks like this young genius is the only Follen student you brought here."
"The others—"
"…are hurting cats! And Robin won't let me curse them."
"Enough of your cursing. Jessie already spent six weeks in the hospital."
"That's because you stepped in. I'd have had him there for sixteen."
"Oh Serpent. Who did you bring us, Robin Loxley?"
"Oh, Farrokh, if you only knew. If you only knew."

***

"The Robin Loxley & Alexander Dumsky spacecraft embarks on a long voyage across the ether ocean, sails filling out—"
"The Treasure Planet had ships," the boy interrupted. "Not spacecraft."
"It's descending from the stratosphere." Robin reached for the boy to pull him down off his shoulders, but Alexander clenched his legs tighter around Robin's neck. Robin snorted. "Then stop arguing."
Anastasia was putting out sandwiches on the tablecloth as her men peered up at the starry heavens.
Dumsky loved the night sky over the manor lost somewhere in the Myers City suburbs. It looked like the curtain in the piano hall, the one pierced by needles in multiple places and then illuminated from the other side with stage lights of all different colors.
The way they did it at the Abyss.
But Anastasia wasn't supposed to hear that.
Not the part about the sky, of course, but about the Abyss. About Robin taking him there.
Anastasia would have killed him.
"Dinner's ready," the witch called over.
"Let's go, wonder kid." Robin started for the tablecloth.
They were having a picnic that beautiful summer night while the other ten Follen students were snoring peacefully in their beds.
"Robin?"
"What, kid?"
"Why does no one want to make friends with me?"
Robin choked on air and almost stumbled.
"Hey, stop it. First of all, you do have two friends: me and Anastasia. And the rest…um… How should I put this?"
"Put it the way it is."
"Okay, I will. You're really weird, Alexander. Why insist on being called that, by the way? Alexander. So boring. Why not Alex? And you talk like you're as old as the Professor, not an eight-year-old kid. I won't call you a kid, though. A little nerd and Mr. Books, that's you. Nobody likes people like that. If you want to be liked, keep it simple, Alex. Comb your hair. Take a shower twice a day, not when you start smelling like your books or your cats. Wear decent clothes instead of that sack of yours. Basically, be an eight year old, not an old man trapped in a boy's body."
"So, you want me to be like you?"
"Like me?" Robin laughed. "You could hardly achieve that degree of perfection. But still, you can use my example as a reference point for your long and complicated journey from wonder kid to normal black wizard."
"So grandiose."
"Oh, and stop lecturing other people! Particularly when they're twice as old as you."

***

The music stopped abruptly. That seemed to wake Mara from a deep sleep.
Blood was dripping onto the keys.
That time it wasn't metaphorical blood. It was real.
And the professor was plucking the shards of his crushed glass out of his palm. Silently, without a trace of emotion on his poker face.

***

"Help…"
"Alex, help…"
"Sasha…"
"Alex…"
"Alex…"
"Doom…"
The little boy, chained by magic and unable to move, stood in the middle of a giant pentagram. Its twelve rays ended in stone altars, each with a human body on it.
They were all naked.
Cut up.
Disemboweled.
But still alive and able to speak.
And there was a man. The Professor in his white smock, a twisted ritual dagger carved with ancient runes and symbols in his hands.
He stepped slowly toward Alex.
"It ends. It all ends now."
But Alex wasn't looking at the Professor. He couldn't take his eyes off the hands reaching out to him.
Jessie. Patrick. Irma. Ganesh. Parfen. Idma. Hayasie. Olaf. Helen. Jessica. Barry.
Robin and Anastasia.
All Follen students.
All his friends.
They were begging for his help, and he couldn't move. He couldn't break the chains of Professor Raewsky's magic.
"It all ends now!"
Raewsky lifted his dagger over Alex's head.
"Help…"
"Save us…"
"Help…
***

"…help…"
Blinking, Doom woke up from his daydreams.
Alcohol, recently getting out of jail, the rush of adrenaline, and the memorable date made for a nasty cocktail.
"Can I do anything for you, Professor?"
Alex turned to see Mara Glomebood holding out a couple bandages.
"Tomorrow, 8 a. m., Magic Range One."
"Excuse me?"
"Anyone who's late will earn themselves a curse." Alex closed the piano lid, leaving a bloody handprint on it, and plodded toward the stairs.
He didn't look back.

Alexander Dumsky, or Alex Doom, was a dark wizard. At the age of seventeen, he was convicted of a litany of crimes so long that even the seasoned investigators, judges, and prosecutors involved in the case could only shudder.
Not a single attorney could be found to defend him in court.
But four years later, Alex was released from prison to become the Professor of Dark Magic. They'd thrown him into the deepest hole they could find, one built for the sole purpose of holding wizards, and then they let him back out again...
Why him? Why then?
Oh, you're not surprised to hear talk of wizardry? Well, then you probably know that the Magic Lens, which was invented in 2032, let humans see and use magic again.
Or do you know?
Glad to introduce you one more of my top series "Dark Wizard's case". The book is just started translating from Russian into English. Active publishing of the chapters will begin in March. Now you can add the book to your marks to get the new chapters on time.

"Ah Sheng, let's do it now. You know what I mean, right?"
"No, no, no, no, we can't, he…"
"He's a blackhearted *sshole! I was only chosen because he wanted me to give birth to his child! Ah Sheng, let's not talk about him. I only wanted to, you know, do that with you. I'm yours…"
"Er Niu, no, don't… we can't afford to trifle with him."
"We need not be afraid of him anymore! Never again! Ah Sheng… he doesn't exist anymore."
Ah Sheng looked at her, puzzled.
"I… killed him."
Xiang Wan was reading what she had written and stopped when she saw her cousin, Fang Yuanyuan, staring hard at her with a straw between her lips. Xiang Wan frowned. "You didn't find this part full of suspense, didn't you?"
Fang Yuanyuan ruffled her hair in exasperation. "Sis, do you know the reason why each and every book you wrote failed?"
"Hm?"
"Weak dialogues and content, fuzzy logic, readers don't get what you're trying to say! Do you understand what young girls like me want to read? It's romance, romance, romance! Important things need to be said three times!"
"Isn't there romance in my book? Wait, what do you mean by young girls like you?"
"… What, do, you, think?"
Fang Yuanyuan pouted and looked at Xiang Wan sympathetically.
"Besides, you've never even dated before. Are you sure you're able to write a romantic love story? You even need to imagine a sex scene out of thin air, how are you able to write a pair of lovers who love each other deep into their soul? Hence, I hereby suggest you should get into a relationship, okay?"
"But I'm writing a murder mystery novel," said Xiang Wan with a smile.
"Girls don't like to read a murder mystery novel without romance. And if you're going after the male readers, your novel is still lacking in some areas…"
"Fang Yuanyuan!" Xiang Wan forced a smile again. "I do have a group of really loyal and unwavering readers as well…"
"Forget it! With the trashy stuff you wrote, if I'm not your editor, you won't even be able to become a VIP writer. You only have a handful of paying readers, and the royalties are not even enough to pay your rent! My dear cousin, just give up!"
Xiang Wan leaned on her chair slowly as she looked at her cousin intently with a faint smile.
"One day, I'm going to write the most popular novel on the internet. Do you believe me?!"
"You? Hoho!" Fang Yuanyuan put her coffee mug on the table and took her handbag. "Youngest aunt has arranged the blind date tomorrow night at eight o'clock, Ocean Sky Hotpot. Do as you see fit!"
Another matchmaking session!
Xiang Wan knocked on her own forehead.
After packing her laptop, she left the cafe. The weather outside was like an oven. She could hear the buzz of electrical fans on the streets near her house. A passing cool breeze was soon replaced by a hot gush of air. She felt as though she was going to be roasted alive.
She rented herself an apartment with just one living room and one bedroom to get away from her mom's constant nagging, despite not having a lot.
At the young age of 26, she was already facing the mayhem of a midlife crisis. She had never dated before and was never embarrassed by that, but with a pretty face like hers, her relatives thought that she had just been too arrogant and picky. As time went by, rumor has it that there might be something wrong with her. 
Must she just get married off to a man and give up her dreams for the rest of her life?
Her fragile heart was crushed to smithereens once more by the sound of her mobile phone ringing when she arrived at the foot of the apartment building that she lived in.
"Oh mom! What's up again? You interrupted me while I was thinking about my novel plot!"
"Novel plot! It's always about your novel plot! Who reads your stuff anyway? Let me remind you, you're almost 30…"
"I'm 26!"
"Round up!"
"Are you really my mom?" Xiang Wan felt her head aching mildly. She felt it might be due to the free air-conditioning she enjoyed at the cafe. "I just haven't found a good man, alright?"
"What type of man do you like? Just tell mom and I'll find you one."
"A national grade rich and gorgeous guy with a height of 1.9 meters, 16-pack abs, lives in an 88-storey villa, and wakes up in a bed of 800 meters. Otherwise, it's a no."
"… Are you planning to marry a centipede?"
"Bye, mom!"
"Hey…"
Xiang Wan was chatting with her mom while she climbed up the stairs. Before she knew it, she was panting and had already reached the sixth floor.
That was actually the top floor. Under the hot summer sky, one would feel like a crab placed inside a cooking pot, wishing to be freed from all the heat. However, there was a man who was quietly leaning against the wall just outside her door. He looked so suave, so cool, and so fresh without any trace of perspiration—his appearance dazzled her eyes so much that she felt dizzy…
The man was tall and had well-defined and chiseled features, as if he had walked out directly from an idol drama.
He looked at Xiang Wan without much emotion. His eyes were amazingly bright under the sun, but at the same time, he looked exceptionally distant, cold and arrogant. Yet, contradictorily, his pair of brooding eyes emanated an irresistible, piercing charm that could stir up feelings in any girl just with his physical appearance and eye contact. He was a typical set-up of most male leading characters in romance fiction.
Oh my, what have you done to my maiden heart!
Xiang Wan puffed a sigh inside her head as she took out her keys.
"Who are you looking for?"
She composed herself, suppressing the emotions that stirred within her.
As the man threw a glance at her, he said, "You're Xiang Wan."
That glance was attractively subtle, and that voice was too sexy.
Xiang Wan had never thought that her name would sound so good in her ears. Her cheeks started to feel hot.
"Yes, is there any problem?"
The corners of his mouth turned upward. Xiang Wan's gaze almost melted completely under his inscrutable smile. He fished out his police officer badge and showed it to her.
"You're being suspected of murder. Please kindly cooperate with the investigation!"


Aspiring author Xiang Wan was deemed hopeless by her family and better off married when her fourth novel still did not do well. 
Just as she started to doubt herself and wonder if she should continue to pursue her dream as an author, things take an unexpected turn when a dazzling guy appears before her and she was taken away by the police as a prime suspect of a murder case.
A murder had taken place and the details were eerily similar to her mystery novel. 
From then on, her life turned topsy-turvy.
...........
Translator Review:
This is a novel encompassed with mystery, ethics, family ties, and romance. Of course, the highlights of this book are the murder cases. 
Although it’s a modern setup where none of the characters have a system or any other cheats, the Author managed to delight me with her writing, creative plots and a good pace without dragging her story. 
I marvel at the way the Author links up the clues and plot to explain the individual cases as well as paving the way to unravel the huge conspiracy behind the individual murders. Romantic plots are light-hearted so readers could take a breather from the plots of gruesome murders.

She received her first paycheck from Ardor and knew exactly where she wanted to spend it. Nathan took her to the bookstore where she met Kelsey for the first time. She took a cart, knowing she will be buying more than a few books.

She went straight to the Fiction shelves. She studied the covers, picked out the most interesting titles, read the synopsis and followed her gut instinct whether to put it in the cart or put it back on the shelves. She could do that for hours, while Nathan was in the Business section because that's what he was reading lately.

She saw him reading by the store window. The sunlight penetrated the glass and made his skin looked golden. He was looking down on his book, he pouted his lips. The world around him seemed to disappear, he wasn't aware of her watching him. He was like her when he reads, she thought. She could spend hours in that store, and he wouldn't be bothered waiting for her.

She turned to the Literature aisle, looked at the top shelves where all the dead poets lined up. She already owned most of the books. She tried to reach her favorite one but it was too high. A longer arm aimed for it from behind her, a scent of Nathan's cologne followed it.

"I've never read this one before," he said standing really close to her.

"That's my favorite, I left it at home ... I'm thinking to buy another one, just in case."

He laughed, "Just in case of what? But that's a good strategy though, always have a backup ... I want to read this ... I guess I've found the culprit, this was exactly where I met Kelsey the first time, she was buying books for you, wasn't she?" he looked straight into her eyes.

She shrugged with a smile, "Guilty."

"So ... if you had come with her that summer, I would've bumped into you instead of her?" he wondered.

She pursed her lips, "That's highly likely, this is a great store ... but then you wouldn't be dating the hottest girl in Gastonburry."

He looked down, lost his smile, and let out a long exhale. "Right."

"I think I'm done here," she said.

He looked at her half full cart, "Wow, that looks awesome, are you going to read them all in one night?"

She laughed, there were close to 20 books in her cart, "That's for the whole month or maybe more 'cause I need to do my report."

He grabbed the cart and took the poetry book that was going to be his new favorite, "This will be my bonus for you, let's check-out."

"What? I can't let you pay for that ... that's a lot of books," she refused.

"You deserve a bonus for all the work you put in, anyways, these books are going on my shelves, you won't be taking them back to Gastonburry, would you?" He had a point.

"I guess not."

"Great, so that's settled ... we'll have a reading fest tonight, I'll fix a nice dinner, we'll get some wine, we'll read, and then music, and then desert ... and then we can talk about it 'til sunrise ... you know, a stay at home nerdy weekend," he sounded excited.

She laughed, it sounded like a dream. It was something she would enjoy by herself, and now there's someone that enjoys it as much as she does. She remembered him saying, 'There's nothing sexier than a girl who reads.' Dido.

**********

Home made gourmet looked so easy in Nathan's hands. She sat by the kitchen island, reading one of their new books while cooked. "Wow, I'm liking this one, it's gonna be hard to put down," a wide smile spread across her face. She was four chapters in, the story was already clutching her.

"Oh I know the kind ... I wanna read that one too, no spoilers please," he was seasoning his food, flipping his tools like a pro.

Her face was covered by the book, eyes glued to the pages. Once in awhile she made humming sounds, a chuckle or an exasperating sigh. He smiled amused, splashed some white wine to the fish, then poured some for himself and some for Julie. "It's that good, huh?" he offered a toast. She quickly finished the last line, clinked her glass with Nathan's, then marked the book and closed it.

"It's really good," she gulped her wine.

Their eyes met. He wanted to tell her how much he loves looking at her getting lost in a story, but his face said it all.

"If you like suspense thrillers ..." she tapped on the book, "This is the best I've read in years ... but I have to finish it to conclude the entirety of it, and then I'll tell you all about it."

He laughed, "I'm gonna read that right after you finish, do not attempt to spoil that for me ... I'm gonna read some romance after this, you know, to infuse a little romantic spirit into the tragic stricken love life of mine."

"Oh, come on, long distance relationships are not tragic, although, it is kind of sad to spend Friday night with a book nerd at home," she giggled.

"Trust me, it's tragic, and this is not even close to sad ... I actually prefer this than a noisy night life, and it's better with company."

They clinked glasses to that.

They started eating while discussing about books they've read, their favorite authors, movie adaptations, and everything else other than their tragic love life. After dinner, they sat in the living room area with their book of choice, and spend comfortable silence together. Commenting on what they were reading once in awhile, and went back to it right after.

He really did read a romance novel. He read only selected few, he said. But nonetheless, he was reading it. Julie never came across a guy who reads as much as she does, a romance novel especially.

Two hours into their reading session, his phone rang.

"Hey," he picked up.

She could tell from his tone, it was Kelsey.

"What?" he sounded surprised. He stood up from his reading position, and walked to the front door.

"Surprise!!" Kelsey's voice can be heard from the living room.

"Oh my God! Hi!" Nathan replied.

The silence that followed can only be assumed that they were kissing. She would've jumped to welcome her but she didn't want to interrupt their kiss.

When she finally stormed into the living room, they hugged and screamed. "I miss you so much! I thought I'd crash into your island weekend here and get a taste of that New Year's party I missed," Kelsey said with twinkles in her eyes. She looked around and saw all the books and wine bottles, "Wow ... you two are really going all the way tonight, aren't you?" she laughed.

Julie glanced at Nathan who was standing idle by the dining table, unsure of what he needed to do.

"You want some wine, Kells?"

"Oh, yeah, I could use a pre-drink, come on let's get dressed and go to that rock n' roll bar you told me about," she took the glass from Nathan's hand.

"Now?" he asked.

"Sure ... why not? I did came all this way for the weekend, Gastonburry was a bit dull ... so I thought I pay a visit to my hot boyfriend and let him take me out on an island night life," she came over to Nathan and kissed him.

"Yeah ... I think you should catch up and check out The Rockabillies ... or other bars you might like, I'm just gonna stay home and read tonight," Julie said. Nathan gave her a sharp disagreeing look.

"Yeah, babe, let's get out and have some fun, a little dancing, some island cocktails, and then we come back and catch up some more," she bit her lower lip and ran her hand under his shirt. She caught his lips and engulfed them in her kiss, Julie looked away.

"Julie, you sure you don't want to come?" he tried.

"No, you guys go ahead and have fun ... I'm just gonna finish this one and drink all your wine," she lifted her book with a grin.

"Oh don't mind her, she won't put down her book even if it's the end of the world," Kelsey pressed herself against Nathan, he couldn't possibly say 'no' to her after she took an eight hour flight just to spend the weekend with him.

"Okay ... let me change first," he took her hands out of his shirt and went to his room.

"Did Preston told you I was coming?" Kelsey threw herself by her side.

"No, I was as surprised as Nathan was."

"Good, I told him not to tell you, he said if he called you he would definitely slip up, so he wants you to call him after I get here."

"He's not out clubbing on a Friday night?"

"Nope, he's waiting for your call ... he's been brooding lately, its annoying, he's not much fun without you."

Nathan came out of his room in a long sleeve shirt pulled to the elbow. He wore his favorite washed out jeans and smelled like a Friday night. His eyes fell to Julie's, hoping she would change her mind or begged him not to go.

"Great! Let's go!" Kelsey jumped to her feet.

11 PM Friday night was her best time. Nathan looked down, there was no chance he was getting out of this one.

"Have fun guys! I won't wait up!" Julie waived at them.

"Thanks babe, we'll catch up tomorrow, 'kay?" Kelsey kissed her cheek.

Nathan didn't even say his goodbye, just a simple waive and a disappointed look on his face.

"Don't forget to call Preston," Kelsey added as she slipped her arm around Nathan's.

Julie caught a look from Nathan's eyes. "I won't," she said.

They stepped out and Nathan slammed the door just a little too hard.

Damien slept throughout the night. He awaken's from his third nap. 
 Realizing he in Tucked in under the blanket he looks up at the Escape the fate Poster up on the roof again. Roll's his over onto his back and is startled to what's to his Left.
  There is a girl in bed with him. He tries to remember what happened. He can't remember anything.
The room is dark, and He doesn't know who this girl is. He looks at his phone and the time was 5:14 am.  
"I slept for 10 hours? he said startled while looking at his Cell phone.
"The girl Rolls over grabs his arm and Stretches.  
"You alright Sleepyhead? The girl said while Feeling his forehead
  The girl's voice belonged to Rikki.
 "What did we do last night?" Damien asked while seeming confused. 
 Rikki Pulls the left side of the blanket off of her and puts her feet on the floor. She reaches for the Lamp and turns it on. The light comes on, and Damien feels his eyes stinging trying to adjust to the light.

  "I was hyper last night when Trent picked me up threw me in the pool. I went to Take a shower, but Trent used up all the hot water. I was freezing and came in here to change. I saw you having night terrors and wanted to wake you up. I felt you, and you were burning up. However, I Reconsidered waking you and decided to Took advantage of your Body heat last night. You kept me warm sleepy head." Rikki Explained while feeling his neck.
  When she said that everything came back to him. He thought carefully about his Nightmare last night. He remembers the Girl in the dream. The one who was robbed and shot dead. The one he wasn't able to help because the police were after him.   
    
    Damien gets out of bed and feels the chill of the room.
   He looks at Rikki and asks: "Why is it so Cold in here?"
"Rose cranks the AC up at night, She is kind of the reason why I slept with you."
 
     Alarmed at what she said, Damien wanted to Fact check what he just heard.
"Wait did we do anything last night?" He said sitting back on the bed.
Rikki smiles at him. 
 "No, we didn't do anything last night. I meant I literally slept with you. You were a great high-efficiency heater in bed"  She said while she Smiled at him.
Rikki was getting a little hyper.
  Damien feels a little disappointed with not hearing the words he wanted to hear from her.
 
" But hey  look what you did to me yesterday." Rikki turns over on the bed and shows the big bruise on the top of her breast to Damien." Damien just stares. 
"It was a lucky shot I'm sorry!" he said Apologetically while just staring.
       " It's ok. I like you, Damien, even though I just met you; and we know very little about, you seem like a lot of fun!"  She said while running her hand through his hair. She just smiles at him and stares into his eyes.
 Damien assuming this is a "signal" from Rikki, decides to hug her, and without warning decides to kiss her.
  Rikki is stunned mid-kiss than push's him hard away from her causing him to Fall off the bed backward and onto the soft carpet. 
 "Sorry to tell you this but I'm Dating Trent!" she said in an apologetic voice. 
He hears this and attempts to get up. While getting up, he replies:
"I don't actually move this fast in relationships Rikki, but you lead me on." Damien said in a sad voice. 
"It's ok! I guess I forgive you?" Rikki said seeming confused.
Wait what?" he said while also feeling confused.
Just then Rose pops out of the closet.
 "Now we know you're not gay!" Rose said while dancing and seeming extremely happy.
 "I can't believe I lost the bet!" Rikki said seeming disappointed while walking out the door.
 
"Wait what's going on?" He said in anger.
 "We wanted to see if you were straight. We kinda thought you were gay when we met you. Rikki and I kinda made a bet".  
"Well, I'm far from it. That really hurt my feelings you know! He said with an upset tone to his voice while picking up his cellphone."
"I'm Sorry, But Rikki is kind of impressive she can really get results! However Honestly she thought you were gay, But you just made me $30 richer! She said while picking up a Brush on the dresser.
He see's the humor in this and starts laughing.
"I'm not going to lie that threw me off. I Thought she was actually coming on to me." He said while watching Rose brush her messy hair.
"She's the best Deceiver we know"! Rose said while Brushing a knot out her hair.
"Hmm, She kinda reminds me of my ex-girlfriend Victoria," Damien said while sitting down on the bed.

   "Ex-girlfriend? Oh Please do Tell me more!" Rose said while getting snagged on another knot in her hair.
 
" I had an ex-girlfriend 2 years ago. Her name was Victoria, our relationship was somewhat Fast. She was kinda a bitch to everyone. She got me in trouble a few times and was a big rival to an old friend of mine. She and Lindsay were complete enemies and would fight so much. Vicky would Stand up to her when Lindsay took advantage of me.". He said while digging through his backpack.
  "who's Lindsay?" she asked.
 "She used to be my first girlfriend," he said 

"Wait what was Victoria, your 3rd girlfriend?" she said while trying to piece his dating life together.
"No she was my 2nd" he replayed
"Oh, I think I can predict why they were Fighting!" Rose said in a childish voice.
"Oh you can?" he said
" Yaa I have seen it before, plenty of times! Let me guess. She stole you from Lindsay?'
"Ya good guess!" he said.
   "Chicks do it all the time! they Outthink, outperform and slut one another."
"Victoria wasn't slutty. She was smart, but Had a short fuse."
I wasn't assuming she was. I'm just saying girls want what they cant have."
   Daemen digs through his backpack and takes a sip of Gatorade and puts the bottle down on the floor.
"Well, you're right about that. She and I were almost perfect for each other. But her short fuse and us moving so fast kinda made the whole relationship a nightmare. I mean we had sex on the first date. I fell for her so Quick, and it hurt like hell after it ended."
"Is she why your emo?" Rose asked while putting the brush down.
"Kinda, but not really." I don't want to get into that part" He said politely.
      At this point, Rose just finished doing her hair. She opens a Drawer and pulls out some chapstick and apply it. There was a moment of silence in the room.
"How did you guys end?" Rose said while sitting on the end of the bed.
"Exactly just like how we met. She showed up out of nowhere without warning and Left me without any warning. Her last words to me were "I have to leave you to save us."
"That makes no sense," Rose says
 "I still don't understand her words myself. But I can tell you my life took a turn after she left."
Oh like how? rose asks.
"Again I don't want to talk about it."
"It's okay," she said.
"Was she one of those Overly jealous girls?" Rose asked,
"Extremely jealous with a short fuse. I almost lost my summer job with all the intentional Hickey's she left on me," he said smiling at her.
That is pretty much Rikki in a nutshell." Rose said.
"Let's Not forget to mention Victoria's random impulse to do crazy and stupid things."
"Oh I Trent and Rikki all share that Trait," she said while giggling.
.

  But hey Last night while you were sleeping you were thrashing around. Did you have a nightmare? Rikki Told me you were burning up.
  "I did have a nightmare" But when I woke up from it I didn't see you guys anywhere near me. I fell back asleep and Honestly I had a Dreamless sleep on that 2nd Sleep cycle. Was I really having night terrors?"
"You looked like you were having a seizure. But we do know you are under a lot of stress. As long as you were not dead, we just let you sleep."
" Wait How did Rikki sleep with me through the night?"
She didn't sleep with you. She Woke me up 30 minutes ago and said it was time to do the bet. I have only been in that closet for 15 minutes. Then you woke up, and she did her magic."
    Can I ask a question now? Damien said while looking out the window.
 Sure!" Rose replied.
 "Did Rikki Take Drama in School?" He said while turning his head toward the Door.
Yes, She did. She was Excellent in it. But kinda got kicked out" she explained.
"I could tell" He replied.

   "So if you cannot Remember 2nd dream, then what your first nightmare was about?" Rose said concerned.
 It was one of those weird dreams where my consciousness told me I fucked up.
"wait you running from the law?" she said.
 He takes out his phone and shows her the last page he visited.
   He hands her his phone, and she reads the news story out load.
"14-year-old girl dies after being shot after robbery" Rose reads the article silently for 30 seconds.
 Damien's voice starts to fall apart. He's about to cry.
"I was there when she got shot! Waiting for the light to change. If I got off my bike Swallowed my Pride and put pressure on her chest she would have lived! I just Stood at that Red light like a coward and looked into her terrified eyes and just ignored her cries. I cried myself to sleep after I found out she was dead before the paramedics got to her. I know the man's face and description. The man took an innocent girl's life over $20. I felt like this girl was hunting me last night. Along with the other people".
   What other people she asked sounding extremely concerned.
Damien just realized he almost leaked a dark piece of his past. He decides to lie.
 Umm, the family of that girl. I feel like I'll be hunted by them."
Um okay? She said sounding confused.
Rose takes her phone off the dresser and dials a number but doesn't hit the call button. She then hands Damien a Notebook and a pen.  "Write down the man's Description," She told him.
He writes down the man's description on the word pad:

 6-foot tall black man
 Yellow Jacket with a Giant "G" letter on it, 
 Yellow Shorts, 
 Blue and yellow Trimmed Nikes 
 Medium sized gold chain,
 Dreads one was significantly longer than the other on the side of his head 
 A freshly healed gunshot wound on top of his hand
 
 Rose Takes his list and call's the Crimestoppers number she saw on the website from Damien's Phone.
"Don't worry I'm calling from my cell, so you don't have to worry about being traced."
She hits call and reads the Operator the description from. At the end of the call, she says say's "I don't need a reward" and then hangs up the phone.
             

         "Now hopefully Your subconscious won't haunt you again," She told him while putting her cell phone into her pocket.
        "Rose do me a favor, and please promise me you won't tell anyone what I just told you along with my Ex,"  Damien said while standing up.
She hugs him and says. "Trust me I won't tell anyone!" It's our little dark secret.
   
Rose and Damien Walk out of the room and sitting in the living room wait for Trent to wake up."
"We are waiting for Trent to wake up. He was up till midnight doing a project." Rikki said while heating up several hot pockets. After The microwaves beeps and she takes them out she hands Damien one. 
"You didn't eat last night, now please eat this!" Rikki said while giving him one. Damien takes it and starts eating it. He notices Rose taking Multiple trips to the garage with the Paintball equipment.
At 6 am in that Morning Damien hears an alarm clock going off upstairs. Trent wakes up and comes downstairs. He wants to talk to Damien alone. 
"So Are you still going to come play paintball with us today," Trent said to him while they were standing in the hallway.
"Yes I am" Damien replied while thinking of what Rikki did to him this morning.
 "Honestly there's something I want to get off of my mind Trent," Damien asked calmly.
 "Sure man, what's on your mind?" Trent replied
 "This morning I got mixed signals from Rikki, and I kissed her." 
Damien waited for his Reaction, but Trent started laughing.  
"I saw you checking her out last night during the news broadcast. Last night before you went to take your "Nap"  The girls all had a side bet weather that you were gay or not. I knew you were straight, But Rikki just wanted to make sure, it's alright man" Trent said while pausing to Yawn.
 "I like you honestly I don't get many Friends who would straight up tell me stuff like that." He told Damien while slapping him lightly on the back.
 When Damien heard the Word "Friend" in that sentence, he felt Happy.
"I need to know this. Rose told me Rikki is Jealous. How did she do this without any breakdown or regret? She told me you were her boyfriend. I'm just a little confused why you are not mad."
"She's is one of those Girls I really trust. She Trusts me too. We have this sorta bond where we can do crazy things like that with each other's permission and not get mad. I mean she asked me if she could test you. Plus I really wanted to see the result myself. She really did make it convincing that she was leading  you on huh?."
 Damien nods his head.
"One of Rikki's amazing gifts," Trent replies back to Damien. 
They both proceed to the kitchen.
      "So Where are going to go play Paintball today? "  Damien asked him. 
"Me and the Girls we play all over the country! We have been arrested once when we were dared to play right in front of a Police Station, I had a friend who was able to get us out, and not only that, She was able to get me the Surveillance Video of the game too."
 Damien try's to picture the stunt in his head. 
"Thanks for the Side story but where are we playing today?" Damien asked. 
"Oh, we are playing at Fort Jackson in South Carolina. It's a five hour Drive We have 30 people who're going to join in on this." 
"Oh this is going to be a bigger game," Damien said with amazement.
Yes, it is.But Hey First before we leave, go take a shower dude" Trent told him while picking up a hot pocket off of the counter."
 
    Damien Walks upstairs and Takes out some clothes out of his backpack. He was holding Red Shorts and a Black Asking Alexandria Band Shirt. Simler to the one Rikki was wearing last night.
He Proceeds to the bathroom, and he could smell the fresh scent of Orange blossom shampoo in the bathroom.
  He looks on the counter, and there was a Fresh pair of towels and a washcloth on the sink.
Damien then pulls out his cellphone out of his pocket then takes off his Clothes. He puts on the song "Something's Gotta give" From All Time Low. Then Turns on the water and waits for hot water to come out. He then engages the lever on the faucet and starts taking a shower.
As the song plays and the hot water relaxing him, he looks around, and Applies Some of Trent's Axe body was to the Washrag and starts rubbing some dried up paint splats off the back of his arm where he see's some faint welts from the game last night. He touches it expecting to feel a bruise. He feels nothing. Just than Rikki and rose Silently unlock and come in through the bathroom door and dumps Two 5 gallon bucket's  full of ice water over the curtain on him. 
  Catching Damien off guard, he Screams "What the Hell?" and then notices shadows behind the Yellow Shower Curtain.
 Rikki then opens the curtain and Shouts: "By The Way, That's revenge for shooting me in the boob." She's laughing at his face along with Rose.
 Rose and Rikki than check him out and giggle. 
Rose picks up his cell phone and turns off his music at the 1:54 mark of the song.
"Sorry Dude. She talked me into this. Rose said while staring at Damien who's Shivering and naked in the shower with the water still running. 
 "Hurry up and finish your shower I'm next!" She said while she closes the door. He can hear the girls walk away in the hallway giggling.  He Grabs the shower curtain and closes it.  He cleans his hair and turns off the water. He Grabs the Black towel off the toilet and drys off. He wipes off the condensation off the mirror looks at himself. He see's 5 welts on his stomach in the shape of a Smily Face. "Rikki shot me like that on purpose!" He said while laughing at what he see's in the mirror. He turns his back, and see's more welts in random places where the chest plate didn't cover. He gets Dressed and walks out of the bathroom and heads toward the Living room.

The cold breeze on the hot summer day touched Angela's cheeks and neck, sweeping her hair to the side and her skirt swaying along. 

She was pretty and her cheeks were flushed pink. It could be the sun… but it could also be because she was flustered upon laying her eyes on the man that she hadn't seen since that night. That man whose lies she used in her first book. 

Her cheek was twitching again and she was beginning to think that she had to see a nerve doctor. What were they called? — Neurologists! Right. She should probably have to see one. Because right now, her cheek had been twitching. Or was she mistaken and she was actually stopping herself from smiling?

Why would she smile?! What was she expecting? That he would remember her? For all she knows, he might have forgotten her already. After all, he looked like the kind who did 'Wham bam thank you ma'am's'!

'Look at him,' her inner voice told her. 

He was tall and gorgeous with perfect hair. He had chiseled jaw and sharp nose and—abs, his abs were slightly tanned. And his abs glistened – like a friggin' Twilight Vampire. 

And his face, he looked the same but also not. Yet he looked as handsome as she remembered him to be. His five o'clock shadow made her swallow as a certain memory from that one night they spent suddenly played in her head. That time when he was all over her… and she was all over him. And that his stubble grazed her skin in the most delicious—What the hell was she thinking right now!?

Angela watched as the man walked towards her. Her feet were still rooted in the uneven sand and she might possibly be wobbling at the moment but she wouldn't know because she was trying so hard not to pee. Being nervous made her want to pee.

Everything went by like a slow-mo. You know like when you're watching a movie—and the male lead was approaching the female lead very slowly, accompanied by a really nice background music? It was similar to that, only this wasn't what she was expecting for. She certainly wasn't excited to see this man again. How awkward!

What was she supposed to do? What was she supposed to say? 

He's coming…

Oh, dear god, he's coming…

He's…

What?!

What the—

Angela's knees wobbled and she had to straighten herself to turn around. The man just went past her!!!

She was so sure that he was certainly and absolutely looking at her as he was walking! They made eye contact! But why? Why the hell did he walk past her?

'Was he blind? Did he not see me?'

Angela gaped and scoffed as she watched the man's retreating back. He was walking towards the rooms and away from the beach. He did not even look back at her. The jerk acted as if he didn't know her at all!

Was she supposed to be happy and thankful that he ignored her? That was what she wanted, right? She didn't want anything to do with him. How awkward would it be if he found out that she used his tales in her books and even used him as her character reference?

Meh. There's no way he'd be reading that. What guy reads adult romance books?

…

Gael entered his suite and headed straight to his bathroom to take a shower. Little Ashton spilled his orange juice all over him while he was on the sunbed. He felt all sticky and he just wanted to change.

He was only half surprised to see Angela on his way. When Daniel told him earlier that there were guests coming, he had asked if he knew anyone and the other said that he might have met them during the wedding.

And there she was, standing awkwardly in the sand, gaping at him like she had seen a ghost. He looked right at her, unashamed that he stared and his stare lingered on her body. She was dressed nicely. Her round breasts were still round. Her waist was still small, he imagined that he could carry her over his shoulder like a caveman without a sweat. Her hair was shorter now though but she still looked—he would not go there. Nope.

He was here to collect interests. She's long overdue and she owed him big time. 'No playing games, Gael,' he told himself. But first, he needed a shower and a change. He could deal with her later. They were on an island. Where was she going to run off to?

She was probably pissed when he walked past her judging by the scoff that he heard behind him. He didn't look back as he didn't want to give her the satisfaction. Whatever she expected from him — he would never give it to her. 

If she was hoping for a hookup, boy was she going to be disappointed. Gael never does a repeat after a one-night stand.

Gael stripped off all his clothes and tossed it in the hamper. Stepping in the shower, he turned it on and rainfall-like water poured from above him, wetting his hair, his face, and his body. Steam covered the room as he stood under the large shower head, trying to calm himself down from the rage that was building up inside him.  

A menacing and devilishly sexy smirk ghosted his face as he pictured Angela's gaping expression from earlier. "Angela…" he scoffed. "Who do you think you are?"

What are the odds that Gael De Luca, a Mafia Prince, was going to find himself in an adult-romance-themed novel as the male lead?

After stumbling upon the book that he probably wouldn't have found if not because of his sister, Gael read the entire thing in one night.

He found the book worthy of his mockery. It was absolutely ludicrous! He must find whoever wrote this absolute nonsense about him so he could show that person what he does to people who were deserving of his wrath.

But what would he do when he finds out that the author of the book wants to keep her identity a secret? 

Will he expose her?

Or will he use the secret to his advantage?


...

"How dare she use me this way?" A menacing stare paints his face as he looks at the woman from a distance.

"She likes writing adult stories so much?" He scoffed. "Then I'll give her the best damn story she would ever want to write."

I get into the car and rest my head on the wheel. I sit in my car for a good 10 minutes before I decide to text someone who I believe can help. I then leave and start to head back to my cabin. Before I can even get into the driveway I see Oliver standing there, arms crossed, with a blank expression staring straight at me. I get out and walk up to Oliver. "Where the hell did you go?!" He yells. "I had business to attend to." I explain trying to get passed him and into my cabin. He stands in front of me and continues blocking my way. "Oliver. Move." I say sharply. He keeps his ground and doesn't say a word. I push him out of the way. He grabs my arm turning me around to face him and starts kissing me. I don't push him away. In fact, I kiss him back and we start moving to the front door of the cabin. He opens the door and I close it behind us. I lead him into the bedroom unbuttoning his shirt. "I was so worried." He says in between kisses. "I'm fine Ollie." I pant as he takes my shirt and pants off. He starts kissing my neck, my collar bone, and my stomach slowly moving down.

I wake up before Oliver and I notice we are both naked. "Mmm" I hear him moan as he opens his eyes. "Good morning." He smiles. "Oliver this was a mistake-" I say getting out of bed, putting my clothes on. "It didn't feel like a mistake." He says rolling onto his back. "I have to go." I mumble shoving my laptop and FBI files into a crossbody bag. "Let me come with you!" He yells. "Ollie... I can't." I sigh. "This could be my training!" He pleads. I scoff, "fine. Get dressed."

You're the leader of the Golden Dragon gang. Your father doesn't trust you as leader, and you sure as hell can't be trusted outside of school. You transfer schools to be greeted by fuck boys and cheerleaders. But maybe... he isn't that bad...
