LOGINLIORA"Liora! Are you ready yet? We have to leave now if we want to get Cassian on time!"Camara screamed from the hallway. Her voice echoed through our small dorm room like an alarm. I jumped up from my bed and grabbed my keys and phone. My heart was already beating faster than normal."Coming!" I called back. I took one last look in the mirror. My hair was in a simple ponytail and I wore my favorite soft blue sweater with jeans. Nothing special. I did not want to look like I was trying too hard even though I had been thinking about this day for weeks.Camara stood by the door tapping her foot. She looked excited. Her brother Cassian was coming to campus for the big football game weekend and she could not stop talking about it. To her he was just her big brother, the star athlete. To me he was the guy I had crushed on since high school.We hurried down the stairs and jumped into Camara's old car. The drive to the airport took about thirty minutes. I stared out the window the whole ti
As the drone’s minigun ripped the sky-bridge to shreds, the structural steel groaned, snapping like toothpicks. Rose felt the terrifying sensation of weightlessness as the glass floor vanished beneath her boots.She didn't even have time to scream.A heavy, iron-tight grip clamped onto the back of her tactical vest, Diego with a brutal exertion of strength, he hauled her toward him as they fell, twisting his body in mid-air. Instead of plunging forty stories down to the pavement, they crashed hard onto a thick bundle of insulated maintenance cables running directly beneath the bridge structure, the impact knocked the wind from Rose’s lungs. She gasped, her fingers clawing frantically at the thick, rubberized wires. Diego was right beside her, his long legs hooked over the cables, his ruined shirt blowing wild in the storm, rain lashed against them instantly, soaking them to the bone in a matter of seconds.Above them, the sky-bridge completely collapsed, a roaring avalanche of glass a
Diego slid out of her, his skin slick with sweat as he let Rose’s boots touch the cold concrete landing, there was no time for words, no time for the luxury of a slow recovery, they refastened their clothes with silent, frantic speed, Rose adjusted her tactical vest, her fingers slicking back a few damp strands of hair behind her ears, while Diego hauled his weapon from his holster, his face instantly hardening into the expression of a man ready to kill."How many?" Rose whispered, her voice barely a breath as she leveled her suppressed pistol over the iron railing of the stairwell, looking into the gloom below."Sounds like a four-man sweep," Diego murmured, his bare chest glistening under his open shirt as he pressed his back to the concrete wall right beside the heavy steel door of Floor 39. "They’re using standard stack formations, they don't know we're right above them."The beam of a tactical flashlight swept up the stairs, cutting through the shadows and illuminating the small
The mechanical shutter groaned, a heartless beast pressing down on his spine with thousands of pounds of hydraulic force."Rose... get back," he choked out, his voice strained to a gravelly rasp. "If it snaps... it’ll take you out too.""Shut up," she hissed.Rose slammed her suppressed pistol onto the metal floor of the shaft and wedged her boots against a structural seam behind her. She grabbed Diego under his armpits, her fingers digging through his torn dress shirt into the hard, bunched muscle of his shoulders, she threw her entire body weight backward.She wasn't just fighting the door; she was fighting the panic clawing at her throat. The forbidden thrill that had consumed them minutes ago was replaced by a brutal, freezing shot of adrenaline. If Diego died here, she was dead too trapped in a labyrinth of suffocating steel.Diego roared, a raw, primal sound of pure exertion, he used his forearm to lever his chest up off the floor, fighting the downward crush of the steel. With
The heavy thud of the steel security shutters sealing the windows echoed like a death knell. The red emergency lights bathed the executive office in a bloody hue, casting long, frantic shadows across the walls.Diego didn’t pull out immediately, for one agonizing second, his body remained buried deep inside Rose, his core rigid as his mind instantly shifted from raw carnal dominance to survival mode. The sheer contrast of his hot, thick length inside her while her heart iced over with panic was dizzying."Diego," Rose choked out, her hands tight on his bare shoulders. "We need to move."He swore, a dark, jagged sound against her neck. He withdrew from her with a wet, sudden slide that left her feeling instantly cold and dangerously empty. The lingering ache of their interrupted completion throbbed low in her belly. Diego stepped back, his chest heaving as he frantically refastened his trousers.Rose didn't waste a second, she scrambled off the edge of the mahogany desk, her legs sligh
Rose adjusted the collar of her tactical vest, her fingers brushing against the cold steel of the suppressed pistol strapped to her thigh. She was twenty minutes into a high-stakes data heist, and everything was going smoothly. Her contact on the outside had promised that the CEO’s private floor would be entirely vacant during the company’s annual gala downstairs, they were wrong.The heavy mahogany door clicked open, Rose melted into the shadows behind a sprawling structural pillar, her heart hammering a fierce rhythm.In walked Diego, he didn’t look like a target; he looked like a king. He had discarded his tuxedo jacket, his white dress shirt unbuttoned at the collar, revealing the sharp column of his throat, he was the lead investigator for the very corporation she was robbing and the one man she was strictly forbidden from crossing, they had a history, a volatile mix of professional rivalry and a brief, disastrously hot encounter a year ago that she had spent months trying to for
