Summary
“Witty,” her glass is empty, a useless prop in this exchange. She imagines throwing it against the wall so it shatters right by his head, just to watch him jump.
“I’ve heard.”
“Arrogant, too.”
Their eyes meet.
“Confidence, actually.”
“Semantics.”
He observes her coolly. Her heart pounds in her chest. She wonders where he’ll go in this verbal sparring match, if he’ll push back even further. She’s struck by the sickening thrill of their barbed words, eager to see what he’ll do.
“Nice to meet you,” he says finally, turning on his heel and leaving her in silence.
Matty can't stand Ray, he knows that much. But he admires her. And he finds her devastatingly attractive. And she surprises him at every turn. And he feels an inexplicable urge to catch her when she falls. And, in his moments of weakness, she even brings out a side of Matty that he hasn't seen before - but it's one that he really doesn't like. So, to be clear: he can't stand her. -

Summary
Two years have passed. Alma thinks she's moved on; Matty knows he never will, not when they left so much unsaid. But when he stumbles across a discomfiting piece of news, he is forced to close the gap and start talking again. Matty is adamant that they won't slip back into their old ways, whilst Alma wants to make amends - if she can regain his trust, is there any point in trying to protect their hearts from one another? Or is resistance futile?

Summary
The air in the hotel room is heavy and stifling; a breeze rushes in as the balcony door slides open, and I lift my head, squinting at the fuzzy edges of George’s silhouette.
‘You’re still here.’
He turns, and his face solidifies in my line of vision, serene and handsome. ‘Of course.’Series

A smutty, subby little oneshot.
He knows I'm going to draw this out. We've done this before, and found something thrilling in the dynamic; he likes to be at my mercy, I like to watch him lose control. A win-win.Series
