Raven picked the phone from the girl's hand, turning it off, he said, "You don't want to do that. Now run along and forget everything that happened here, little girl." His voice low and chilly to the bone.

Sunshine Meets Grumpy

He's a hitman, a hacker, a serpent slithering through the city's underbelly. Not a hero, not even close. The mafia's ghost in the machine, shadows his only companions.

Then, there's her. Bookish, buried in debt and dreams, juggling endless shifts and late-night study sessions. Sunflower yellow amidst the grimy alleys, oblivious to the danger lurking beneath her hopeful smile. "Plain," they call her, "basic." But her light, it's undeniable.

One fated night, a muttered curse, a stolen glance. Their worlds, oil and water, are destined to collide. Can sunshine melt the frost around a killer's heart? Or will their tangled destinies ignite a storm that consumes them both?

Raven looked down at his shirt where one button was now missing. Without knowing, Lily had dragged off one of his buttons during the kiss. He rested his head on the chair, closing his eyes to reimagine the faint taste of the girl he had just had which still lingered on his tongue.

Inside the room, Lily hid under the covers. Her heart was beating at an impossible pace. Bringing her hand up to her chest, Lily noticed she was holding a button. She had unknowingly pulled it out from his shirt during the kiss.

The kiss... Lily's finger subconsciously brushed on her lips, and she dared to remember just how Raven had stolen her breath with a defense of tasting milk. It was already established, Lily thought in her mind. Raven was her personal brand of chaos, and now he was on the loose. He had already made it clear that he wouldn't take it easy on her anymore.
