TITLE: Dangerous Fantasy.LAURA’s POV:My eyes locked on Ryker, his piercing stare wanting to swallow me whole. I felt belittled in his presence, a feeling I was so unfamiliar with. His words hung in the air like a heavy promise of danger and bliss, waiting for me to give in and fall into his temptation. His voice was so deep that it reverberated in his chest and the scent of his breath fell on my face. “Ryker….” I tasted his name in my mouth. His name was something so simple for someone with his reputation. I wanted to know more about him. He wasn’t present in my other life before I was reborn.

A smirk slowly appeared in the corner of his lips and he bent down, grabbed my wrist, and brought me closer to him, even closer than before. His hot breath fanned my face, carrying a characteristic spicy scent of pine and wormwood liquor."You
