“Holy shit! That was great, baby,” I said with a grin before pulling Anna on top of me and planting a fierce kiss on her lips. As my hands slid down her back, she broke the kiss. “Stop right there. I’m not doing it again.” “What?” I asked innocently, pulling her hips closer. She rolled her eyes and shook her head. “I’m so sore from last night, I don't know how I'll walk anywhere. Not to mention, I’ve got a flight back to LA in a few hours. I need to get ready.” “You…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

"I thought you were in Los Angeles!" she said to Troy.He shrugged casually. "I took a flight back. I couldn't miss your birthday, could I?" He stepped forward and placed a chaste kiss on her lips before…

- Barry took another copy of the page, “I’ll read it with you.” “Yes, Cole?” He asked me, indicating that he had begun the audition. “They used to hang people here.” I kept my voice low as if a little hesitant to answer the question. “That’s not correct. Where’d you hear that?” "They'd pull the people in crying and kissing their families bye... People watching would spit at them." I answered in a somber tone. "Cole, this was a legal courthouse. Laws were passed here. Some…

- Chapter 1I love motorbikes. I wasn’t rich, per se, but I had five of them in my little garage. My mom used to hate that I took one of my babies wherever I went instead of driving a car like normal people.Fuck normal people.They don’t know the joy of riding long distances in the fresh air, all the way out into the countryside—without a helmet—as the wind caresses your hair.Aah.I must have closed my eyes while riding because the next thing I knew, my baby had run over a boulder. The bike came to a…
The plan Randal had come up with looked good on the surface. Genius, even. Take two immature teens who were very clearly attracted to each other and use one to get the other to do what you wanted. There was just one thing Randal hadn’t accounted for: my business savviness. Sure, I wasn’t some Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos-level mastermind, but I liked to think I knew enough about the world to see through schemes like that. The little act Randal and I pulled back on the street, him pretending to leave…- 231.0 K • Ongoing
- “Troy, what was the name of that restaurant we went to last time here?”I silently kept reading the screenplay in the back of our car.“Do you remember when we snorkeled on that island we booked a few years ago? That was fun, wasn’t it?”I shot a deadpan stare at my mother, only to receive a mischievous grin in return. She had decided in her utmost wisdom to try to make me break character. After the first day, it had become a game of sorts between us, one I was oddly enjoying—but I wouldn’t let…

- “Are you serious?” I asked incredulously. “They’re offering me a knighthood again? Despite everything?” William nodded minutely. “They are. But this time, you have to accept it if you say yes. You can’t back out at the last moment.” “Of course,” I agreed. “I have no quarrel with the Crown or the government now that they are doing the right thing. Don’t forget, if I pulled a stunt like that again, it would look bad on me because my reason for rejecting it has been fulfilled…

- “$1 million,” Mum replied.“Holy…” I stopped myself before Mum could intensify her gaze any more. “Didn’t Dad say that musical rights are cheaper?”“Your Dad doesn’t know everything.” Mum smiled, “It all depends on the perceived value of the product. While most musicals are cheaper compared to their movie counterparts, this will be more expensive than the original because its budget was too low and stage actors have their minimum wages set at a much higher rate than film actors.…
