Day 6   “Oh, my God, Trix, you’ve been at this for over an hour! Just pick one, already!” I admonish, my tone mirroring my exasperation. My hands and feet drum and tap at whatever surfaces they can find, more fidgety than I can remember them ever being. We’re surrounded by a myriad of costumes, practically swimming in piles and piles of various outfits, accessories, and cosplay attire. There are all types of costumes—from various Marvel and DC superheroes, to milkmaids and leprechauns, to Disney characters, all the way to… 阅读更多

I arch my brow at his apparent lack of concern at the implications of what he’s proposing. “Because you asked her to?” I repeat incredulously. “You’re just going to comfortably sit there and tell me in that douchey ass tone of yours that you pretty much sent Mindy to tell me that you want to have sex with me?” He nods. “Correct. And you have thirty calendar days to agree to or decline my offer,” he explains. “Make no mistake, this is a business offer. I have every intention of… 阅读更多

My eyes burn. Really badly. They’ve been burning since yesterday morning, ever since my eyes landed on what was inside that damn folder. And they continued to burn through today’s morning practice and all my classes. And they’re still burning now, probably even more than they were before as I stomp through the main hallway of the surgical center. “Excuse me, Miss, you can’t go through there,” I hear a female voice call after me, but I don’t stop. “Miss, office hours are over. You cannot go in there!” she… 阅读更多

I stare ahead like a confused idiot, unable to do much more than blink in shock for several seconds. What in the hell of all hells is Mindy, of all people, doing at my apartment? And this early in the morning? She’s wearing a black and silver ruffled dress that looks like it could buy this entire apartment complex and maybe even the entire street leading up to it. Her hair is in the same sleek bun from last night, but she looks as fresh as ever, as if she… 阅读更多

A few hours later…   I hear banging. Lots and lots of banging. Then I hear my doorbell ring quite a few times, and as I slowly come into consciousness, I realize all the ruckus is coming from my door. Who the hell could possibly be here at this time? I toss and turn under my covers, willing the knocking to stop and its creator to go away. But unfortunately for me, neither of those things happen. With a sigh, I finally sit up, pushing myself up and propping my… 阅读更多

He sets me down gently, and the cold concrete floor beneath my feet is both a welcoming feeling because of its familiarity and also an unpleasant shove back into my reality which the man towering above me is not—and cannot—be a part of. I start to speak. “Listen—” “I know why you were there,” he says, cutting off my attempt at an explanation. I’d be pissed that he just cut me off if his voice wasn’t so calm—gentle, even. I raise an eyebrow. “You…you do?” I blink a few times,… 阅读更多

Frost continues to remain silent as well, much to my surprise. I was certain he was going to drill and interrogate me to no end from the looks he’d given me back at the mansion when I ran into him. I should really be happy he isn’t saying anything, but for some reason, his silence—or perhaps refusal to talk about the very obvious pink elephant in the room—is somehow more disturbing than any yelling or blackmail he might have had in store for me. The silence continues to stretch on… 阅读更多

He turns his attention back to me once more, breaking the ice but thankfully also without bringing up the very obvious pink elephant in the room. “Wait here, I’ll bring my car around,” he says, already walking away. “Didn’t you have a valet park it for you?” I ask. “No,” he says simply. “I don’t like other people touching my car.” I sigh and shake my head. “Oh lord, you’re one of those guys?” He looks at me incredulously, his brow arched. “What guys?”

We make our way back to the roundabout again, and this time I have a hard time enjoying the scenery as I walk past more statues and fountains and other impressive sights. My mind is completely preoccupied with the imposing man walking next to me, leading me with his hand still resting snugly on my lower back. I hate to admit it, but his hand feels amazing; strong and sure and possessive. I really should tell him to take it off me, to keep his hands to himself, but I’m… 阅读更多

I stop mid-step as the words leave his mouth. I whip around and face him again, my eyes boring holes into his head. “You son of a bitch—” “Now, let’s not get hostile, Raven,” he says coolly, easily cutting me off and closing the distance between us once more. He slides his hands into his pockets almost nonchalantly, and he sports a bored expression on his face. He seems pretty aloof, but obviously he’s anything but since he can’t seem to keep his irritating behind out of my business. He… 阅读更多
