"Ayana," he whispered my full name seductively into my ear.
I felt my body become weak as I leaned back into him, the heat increasing at the same pace as our breaths. Slow yet rapid.
"We can't Ezra," I let out shamefully, a small wince falling after as his left arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to him.
His soft lips traced my ear, "Why not?" he challenged.
"Because of the aftermath," I responded.
༻༺༻༺༻༺༻༺༻༺༻༺
Ayana Abeba is the sister of a famous world-known boxer, Kaleb Abeba.
Her life has been viewed by the media world since she was young, leaving her no ability to learn about her true self.
Ezra Carter, a heartless dark man, is the son of the highest ranked boxer in the world, leaving him to follow his father's path.
When both Ayana and Ezra collide accidentally, the effects of their bond start to ruin others' careers.
Will the aftermath be worth their love?
"I'm sorry that I put you in this situation."
"I'm not following." I really wasn't.
"This. Us! What we did last night was reckless and so so perfect at the same time." He got up and walked over to me. "All I could think about was the look on your face. I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about the feel of your skin against mine." He came closer and now he was a breath away.
"What are you saying?" I whispered.
"I don't know."
"I thought you didn't do girlfriends."
"I don't." And just like that our lips met and the fire ignited within me again.
