"This isn't your game to control," I bit out, stepping back, gripping the doorframe as if it could keep me grounded. He didn't move. Just watched me. Studied me. The weight of his stare was unbearable. "You're playing with fire, Emily." "I know." "And yet, you keep coming closer." Emily never meant to step into his world-a world of wealth, power, and dangerous secrets. But from the moment she crossed paths with Matthias Cambria, everything changed. For Matthias, control is everything. Emily is a complication he never saw coming, a temptation he should resist. But the more he tries to push her away, the more he finds himself dragged into a dangerous game of desire and defiance. Some lines shouldn't be crossed. Some names shouldn't be spoken. And some obsessions are impossible to escape.

"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop?

Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy.

Tempest has no human bone in her body. She is devoid of all emotions, making her 'job' as a guns-for-hire easy- at least, that's what the heroes call it. She doesn't see it as a job but as a lifestyle. After all, that is all she's ever been surrounded by. Blood, money, drugs, psychos, more blood and money. Blood money. All of that shit. The only problem is that the heroes disagree with her so-called 'lifestyle' and start a special task force in her name called D. O. A. Best known as the operation Dead. Or. Alive. The person specifically tasked to bring her in is none other than the great hero, Phoenix. He is best known for his smarts, good looks, and being a virtuous savior. But among people like Tempest, he is known as another overpowered, overrated hero no one can escape. Not even those blessed with super speed or teleportation can escape him. So, it should be effortless for him to catch her since she has no superhuman abilities. Except it's not. Tempest has a deadly virus no scientist, no government, no god can ever get rid of. So, when she finds out she is being hunted down by not only the hero society but the face of it, she turns to biological warfare. The few other people with the disease would never dare to do something like that, but Tempest would. If it guarantees her coming out on top, she will.

BLIP: The dry air made it difficult to take in a breath and I had a dire need to grip and dig my nails into my thighs as the aura of Ernesh brought chills up my arms; I could not see him, but it was evident he wasn't far from reach. "The longer you stand there in silence, little lyōbo, the more you irk me," his gruff voice called out behind the forcefield as it trickled down to his feet, the pixelated particles vanishing before my eyes like icicles. Once the veil was removed, a tall young man with dark eyes and silver hair, almost too pretty to be seen as evil, stared at me with a cold glare of hatred and curiosity; he was not at all what I had expected.
