Enemies Desire Distaste dinner
*Harley’s POV"Do I look good?" I run my hands along the length of my hair, looking myself up in the rearview mirror of the car.Choosing a perfect dress usually comes easy to me but tonight, I feel more cautious about my appearance. After spending an hour in front of the wardrobe, I ended up picking a royal blue, off-shoulder cocktail dress with a side slit reaching above my knee."You always look good, Harley. Stop worrying," Xavier says, interlacing our fingers together, making me look at our joined hands.Unlike me, it took him only a few minutes to get ready, and yet, I admire the way he is dressed in a black suit that was tailored just for his body. He is wearing a crisp white shirt underneath with a black tie. His biceps are hard underneath the sleeves and I have the urge to run my hands over them. His hair is neatly gelled, spiked a little on the front, and his cheeks are covered by light stubble."But you said they were important clients." Xavier squeezes my hand as I speak.
Enemies Desire Real
*Xavier’s POVThe moment those dirty words leave her lips, we ditch the Russo brothers in their posh hotel and rush back home. I find my hands unable to leave Harley's body and we make out in the backseat for the entire ride. Harley laughs when I mutter silent curses to the driver to drive faster.By the time we reach home, my cock is straining against my pants. Thankfully, Mom and Rose aren't to be spotted when we enter the house, so I grab Harley's hand and we run up the stairs, hurrying to our room. Once in, I do not look back as I lock the door and face Harley. She is standing beside the bed, giving me a tiny smile as I walk toward her. Her off-shoulder dress presents a great view of her skin, along with the dip of the neckline towards her cleavage. My heart drums loud in my chest when I grab her by her waist, pulling her towards me, and her hands travel up to the collar of my shirt."Hey," she giggles."Hey, you." I tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear as I look at her face.
Enemies Desire Nothing better
*Harley’s POVSleep hasn't been my friend for long, but I wake up with a smile for the first time in four years. A yawn leaves me the moment I open my eyes and am greeted with the sound of silence, followed by the sound of birds chirping perched on the garden trees.The heavy weight on my waist makes me look down to see a strong, muscular arm, endowed with light hair, wrapped around me securely, keeping me close to the warmth of the body behind my back.I remember last night. It has been embedded like permanent ink in my mind and I will never forget it. People say that we never forget the person we lose our virginity to and maybe that's right because Xavier has been in my mind for years now and last night only made him more everlasting."Good, morning, nemesis," Xavier groans, nuzzling his nose on my shoulder."Good morning." I avoid turning around, conscious of my morning breath, but I twine an arm around his neck while his hand reaches under the blanket.A husky moan leaves me when

*Harley’s POVHe looks familiar. A little too familiar.My eyes focus on the mirror to study Jake Gallagher's face as he drives the car. Xavier wanted to drop me off, but after hearing how much work he was loaded with, I asked him to send in a driver. He ended up sending his PA because he can't trust anyone else to drop me off safely.Sweet? Yes.Possessive? Hell ya!Annoying? Even more yes.As Jake maneuvers the car into a free parking slot on campus, I quickly grab my bag and am about to open the door when I see him undoing his seatbelt and getting down the car. He comes around and opens the door for me. I mouth him a'thank you' as I get down and he shuts the door.We stand there in silence. My legs are rooted to the spot, my eyes on him. He is tall with a good build but his face is completely shadowed by his thick brown bread. His hair is slicked back to a bun at the back of his head and his professional suit keeps him out of place among the students around us hanging about in thei
Enemies Desire Escape
*Harley’s POVI flip around, my fingers clutching my phone tight as he stands before me. In the daylight, his appearance is more menacing and duplicitous with the strange mask on."No, no, no..."My foot falls on the pile of mud, twisting at the toes and gravity pulls me down to the ground, my one hand falling on the burner phone and Nina's voice stops when the thing crashes under my palm."C'mon, darling." The man takes steps towards me while I drag my body backward, the pain in my toes making it hard to make my legs work. "Stop playing around and get this over with."His voice. How can someone have such a harsh voice? It sounds like he has something in his mouth, making the sound unrecognizable. But there is a hint of something known. I must have heard him before. I know I have heard him before."What do you want from me?" I ask him. My hands hurt as my palms drag through the gravel, slicing a layer of skin. "I don't have anything. Please leave me alone.""Oh, honey, you do have som
Enemies Desire Where is she
*Xavier’s POVI'm at theWhat the fuck comes after that? She sent me half a text, knowing that it will make me ridiculously worried about her.The second I got it, my possessiveness took the best of me. I fucking called her and she didn't pick up. I called the driver myself who said that he was a little late to reach the college. I asked him which car did he take and he said he took Jake's because the latter had errands to run and was coming along with him.No wonder Harley couldn't find her ride.I haven't seen Jake after he dashed out to meet the Russo brothers to get their signatures on some important documents. He hasn't returned yet and the last time I checked, he said he was still with them.I tap my fingers on my elbows as I lean with my arms crossed, waiting for Harley by the car with the idiot driver. The students are dispersing and it is nearing sundown. All come and go but there is no sign of Harley."You are not suited for this job anymore, Rick. You're fired," I say to th
Enemies Desire Realization
*Harley’s POVMemories are scary. They have the power to haunt you every time you close your eyes. I have my share of bad memories too.The recall starts in simple ways — like the moment in first grade when Kevin Lewinsky dropped noodles on my head, or the time in secondary school when Nina and Jesse got their first boyfriends while no one asked me out, or the time when I had to change myself completely in high school only to find out that I was a victim for stalkers to follow me home, or the day when I came home from prom with my Dad only to find out that my sister was gone forever.But worst of all, the memory of that day is the one that chills me to my bone. I close my eyes, I see the masked man. I open my eyes and find him still there. My skin crawls when I remember being pressed under him, the glint of the steel knife when it cut my face, leaving me with two viciously ugly lines on my cheek which the doctor said would take a lifetime to vanish for the cut was so deep. I remember

She gathers her strength, positioning herself just like Rose.Rose chose to teach Harley the basics of preventing an attack today. So far, Harley has only learned to block a blow to her face. Not a surprise considering she got scared after seeing her face in the mirror this morning and spent an hour crying in the bathroom. I tried to tell her that it didn't matter because she looks gorgeous but she didn't listen to a word."I'm tired," Harley grunts when she misses stopping a punch on her arm.Rose narrows her eyes, glaring at Harley. My sister takes her job very seriously and looks clearly in no mood for excuses.Scary monster"You can never be tired when defending yourself, Harley. Now, fight back!"She holds Harley's arms, positioning them to reduce the gap between her hands so the enemy doesn't use the space between th
