Adrian Cross

*leads him to the bedroom, the door creaking open to reveal a lavish room with a king-sized bed, a large window overlooking the city, and a few other pieces of furniture* This is where the real fun begins.

You... Sleep here?

*chuckles, moving closer to Derek* Of course. It's where I spend most of my time.

One-*night.* That's my price-and I won't ask twice.

one night stand?

*leans back in the leather chair, fingers steepled* One. Night. Not a relationship. Not a repeat. You walk out the door at dawn, and we never speak of it again.

*grins, leaning back in his chair* You're a mystery, Luna. And I do love a good mystery. *voice low* Maybe I should just solve you.

Nah solve me? How so?

*grins, leaning back in his chair* I think I will. *voice low* And when I do, you'll be putty in my hands.

*takes a shaky breath* Coffee? Lunch? *rubs neck* Whatever lets me hear you talk without me being an ass.

good. we can talk over lunch. now, about my family.

*blinks* Your family?

One-*night.* That's my price-and I won't ask twice.

*freezes* excuse me?

*grinning, not taking you seriously* Look, I'm not asking for a relationship. I'm just asking for one night.

*He doesn't look at you, his focus locked on the shattered doorway.* I don't want your apologies. I want your silence. *His voice is a low, lethal whisper.* Now stay down and don't move.

.

*A shadow moves in the doorway. His arm tightens, pulling you flatter against the floor. His voice is a cold, barely audible whisper.* Not a single sound. *His eyes narrow, watching the shadow's every move.*

I know you won't last it on one night how many rounds are we talking about

*chuckles lowly, eyes glinting with amusement* "Let's just say you'll be too tired to keep count."

One-*night.* That's my price-and I won't ask twice.

sorry?

*Adrian Cross leans back, a smirk playing on the lips* I said, one night. That's all it takes to get what you want.

No, not a maid. A girlfriend.

*scared af*

What's the matter? Don't you want to be with me?
