Kissing Danger Chapter 1 First Kiss

I grip his hand, letting him pull me down the trail.

Nerves flutter in my stomach, fingers quivering as I walk steadily along the path, trying not to stumble over and into the river below. The sound of the waterfall we walk toward roars in my ears, allowing my hurried breaths to go unnoticed to my recent boyfriend.

This is going to be my first kiss. I've finally graduated high school only yesterday, and to celebrate, Alec has taken me down to the local waterfall to kiss me. We have been talking about this for weeks now, and it's finally happening with nothing to interrupt us. The snow crusted grass has me sliding uneasily down the path, Alec's steady hand guiding me toward the waterfall. The path falls behind it, sheltered by the rocks above. Shivering, I glance down into the water, the surging white foam from the falling water swirls tauntingly, shattering any chance of ice forming.

"Do you think this is a good idea?" I ask, voice shaking as Alec pulls a stray tree branch out of the way, letting me step up it. He glances back at me, warm hazel eyes gliding over me as he pauses right at the side of the river, spray from the waterfall raining down upon us lightly.

"Yes, of course. I come here all the time." "With other girls?" I question flatly, lips tilting up slightly. He tilts his head to the side, dark hair spilling around his ears as his eyes glitter enchantingly. He really is beautiful...

"No...Just you baby," he assures me quietly, not taking his eyes off mine. It's going to happen now. Suddenly nervous, I glance away, looking onto the other side of the river where a denser forest leads out of town. Out here, we are completely alone, but Alec and I have been dating for a while now, and I trust him. Not to mention, Alec is the most beautiful man to have come out of our school. So why am I so nervous? A shadowed figure suddenly passes across the corner of my vision, causing me to flinch. Narrowing my eyes, I concentrate on the tall trunks, seeing nothing but lush, snow topped vegetation. I release a long, so breath.

"It's so beautiful here." Alec reaches out to grip my chin, turning my to look at him, noticing how distracted I've suddenly become.

"Not as beautiful as you."

"Don't ruin it," I mutter, rolling my eyes playfully. "Is this where you want to do it?"

He nods, eyes gleaming. My stomach continues to churn, nerves fluttering inside me. We stand right next to the waterfall, the roaring sound echoing in my ears. Despite that, it's peaceful, the perfect place to kiss Alec for the first time.

"I am so ready to kiss you," he murmurs, reaching up to gently hold either side of my face. His fingertips are cold against my skin, an icy breeze sweeping down the valley, pulling strands of stray hair across my face. Alec brushes them away, leaning down slowly. I close my eyes, bracing myself for his lips to press against mine. Instinctively, I step back with my right foot, right before Alec can kiss me. My boot slips out from under me, the ice forming at the side of the river cracking and collapsing, drawing my leg straight down into the river. Alec reaches out to grab me, but slips, letting me glide through his fingers. With my balance off, I topple back and straight into the water, the weight of the waterfall pinning me straight under the surface.

Panic slices through me, the shock of the glacial cold of the water causing me to gasp, drawing straight down my throat. Coughing beneath the water, I swing my arms around, but the white wash swirls me around, the force of the water drawing me deeper. Pain burns in my throat, heart pounding in my chest. Blinking through the water, I see nothing but bubbles in my vision, the edges turning dark as each second passes. A rock bumps my hip, sending me turning over under water. I'm being dragged down the river. I'm going to die. Right before unconsciousness can grip me, I feel hands on my shoulders, grabbing at my thick woollen jacket which has been holding me down. My head breaks through the surface, body being dragged back onto the trail from the water.

Gasping for air, I brace myself up on my elbows, coughing water onto the dirt path below me, gripping the grass tightly between my hands despite the snow that coats it. My lungs burn, vision blurred as I try to make sense of everything. The hands are still on my shoulders, gripping the fabric of my shirt tightly as they are frightened I'm going to pass out again. I roll onto my back, staring at the grey sky, breathing in slowly.

The figure leans over me, drawing their hands away. I frown, expecting it to be Alec, but he's nowhere to be seen. Instead, it's a complete stranger. My vision still spins, but I can see his outline. His hair is dark, clothed in black also. My lips part slightly as I struggle to breath.

"You saved me." He doesn't say anything, getting to his feet. Before I can say another word, he disappears.

Phoenix Rising: The Scarred Heiress's Revenge

Xiao Hong Mao

I lived as the "scarred ghost" of the Stephens penthouse, a wife kept in the shadows because my facial burns offended my billionaire husband’s aesthetic. For years, I endured Kason’s coldness and my family's abuse, a submissive puppet who believed she had nowhere else to go. The end came with a blue folder tossed onto my silk sheets. Kason’s mistress was back, and he wanted me out by sunset, offering a five-million-dollar "silence fee" to go hide my face in the countryside. The betrayal cut deep when I discovered my father had already traded my divorce for a corporate bailout. My step-sister mocked my "trashy" appearance at a high-end boutique, while the sales staff treated me like a common thief. At home, my father threatened to cut off my mother's life-saving medicine unless I crawled back to Kason to beg for a better deal. I was the girl who took the blame for a fire she didn't start, the wife who worshipped a man who never looked her in the eye, and the daughter used as a human bargaining chip. I was supposed to be broken, penniless, and desperate. But the woman who stood up wasn't the weak Elease Finch anymore; she was Phoenix, a tactical predator with a $500 million secret. I signed the divorce papers without a single tear, walked past my stunned husband, and wiped the Finch family's bank accounts clean with a few taps on my phone. "Your money is dirty," I told Kason with a cold smile. "I prefer clean hands." The cage is open, the hunt has begun, and I’m starting with the people who thought a scar made me weak.

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

Temple Madison
4.6

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."
