Entangled: Crisscross

When a secret from the past rears its head, a young hacker must choose between marrying a CEO she has never met before and loving her nerd best friend, not knowing that they're the same person. ..... Disguised as her nerd bestfriend, Cross had been protecting her from the shadows. But the past is slowly catching up to her and he feared she might not be able to handle it alone. So he did the only thing he could, he offered to marry her. Except, she doesn’t know who he really is. As passion ignites and danger escalates, the two were forced by fate to stay with each other or perish together. ..... Did you hear what I said?” he asked, his copper eyes bore into her light brown ones. “Get out. While you still can.” His chest raised as he held his breath, controlling the desire that stabbed through him. Restraint, he chanted inwardly. He promised not to touch her unless she would ask for it. And he would die before breaking that promise. She frowned at his sudden rejection. She could still feel his erection pressing against her stomach, his strong arms were still wrapped around her. Was he chasing her out? Or… Sera bit her lower lip. “And if I stay?” it wasn’t a question that needed an answer. The words that he wanted to say ended with a growl. He slammed his lips into her already swollen ones. He had waited far too long, suppressing his needs for years just for her. He couldn’t take it any longer. * The book will contain a lot of steamy and erotic chapters. R18.

Deal Breaker

Sera never hated confrontation. But for some reason, the current scene in front of her gave her a bit of pressure. She looked at Chris who had been staring at her, without saying anything.

Was this the pressure that Edward felt earlier when she did this very same thing? A part of her actually wondered what he was thinking. Clearly, he looked upset. But… what's with this silence?

"I'm going to… sleep," she blurted out before she stood and turned her back towards him. She was about to walk out of his office when she felt his hand on her wrist. And to be honest, she immediately expected him to start shouting.

His gaze was enough to tell her that he might start shouting anytime. It was like he had been trying to control himself. Maybe stop himself from breaking all the things inside his office.

And yes, that sounded toxic. 

And yes, that would be the greatest deal-breaker for her.
