Andy Sixx

Innocent Until Proven Guilty

"Speaking of knowing things…" Kyle said slowly, "You still haven't given me a chance to tell my story." "I know," said Andrea. "I was having too much fun speculating. Finding you like this is a gift, and I don't want to tear the wrapping off all at once. ‘Building up the anticipation makes it better.’" Kyle blinked again, then gave a quiet snort of recognition at his own words being thrown back at him. "So what is your speculation?" Kyle asked. "Oh I don't know, probably something utterly disappointing. Did they pick you up for speeding on the way to the farmers market? I guess that wouldn't explain the uh…" she gestured at his injury again. "It wouldn't explain that now, would it. Oh, I know! You got into a fight over the last piece of bluefin!" Kyle just shook his head slightly. "No? I guess it's too much to hope you did something really exciting like rob a bank—You're not secretly a cat burglar are you, Kyle? Lose your balance breaking into an art gallery? No…?" Kyle looked unamused. "Very funny, Chuckles, would you mind taking this a little more seriously?" "Of course," said Andrea. "Very serious for a lawyer to have been arrested. You could be disciplined. Disbarred! Why, we might not see each other in court anymore. Wouldn't that be a shame." "Wouldn't it though," replied Kyle. "So that's the kind of guy you think I am? Stealing fine art and fighting in fish markets?” Andrea pondered some more. "I know!" she exclaimed. "Did you get into a fight with someone's boyfriend? Did it turn out that you were your young lady's bit on the side, and you ended up having a domestic dispute?" Kyle winced. "Is that it?!" Andrea had been teasing, but it seems like she had touched a nerve. To whatever degree Kyle had seemed like he'd been playing along, even as worn down as he was, that last remark had left him deflated. Kyle hung his head. "It wasn't like that…" "Oh sure, like you haven't been collecting notches on your bedposts." "I'M not like that." "You're not? That's not what your reputation says, out there collecting numbers and breaking hearts. I heard that you were a real ladykil–" "Andrea! I'm not–" Kyle shouted, grabbing her hands. His hands were strong, and his grip so tight it almost hurt. His expression so intense, frustrated and hurt and… scared? Andrea knew she had been twisting the knife a little into something that bothered him, but what had caused this reaction? It was only for a moment, then Kyle seemed to catch himself and let go. He slumped back in his chair and slid his shackled hands back below the table. Andrea leaned back as well, adding to the distance, and folded her arms, no longer smiling. She glanced at the duress button out of the corner of her eye. If Kyle had kept holding her as tightly as he had been, she wouldn't have even been able to reach it. "I think we're ready for storytime now," she said seriously. “I think you had better start at the punchline. What have you been charged with, Mr Wynn?" Kyle took a deep breath before he raised his head once more. "Murder, Ms Mason. First Degree Murder." *** Andrea Mason, a defense attorney who cares more about justice and protecting her clients than just winning cases. But the one man she hates to lose to is her rival, the arrogant prosecutor, Kyle Wynn. Kyle represents everything Andi hates about unscrupulous win-at-all-costs lawyers, and for years they have traded arguments in the courtroom and barbs in the hallways. Their paths cross again when they find themselves on a high-profile murder trial. As much as Andrea might despise Kyle, she can’t believe it when HE is charged with the horrific murder. But she is even more shocked when he asks for her to represent him at trial… *** #SLOWBURN #STRONGFL #CRIME #MURDER #FLIRTY #ROMANCE If you want to know what to expect, check the reviews! ฅ^-ﻌ•^ฅ Burrito says to join here: https://discord.gg/qr7eUnxT2F

The Unexpected Alpha Mate

My name is Betty. My boyfriend, Simon, is going to be an Alpha—we are very much in love although we are not Fated Mates. However, events took a twisted turn at the night party before Simon's Alpha ceremony. I had been showing off my boyfriend to my best friend Yurika and goading her into getting herself a boyfriend to experience kissing, only for my boyfriend to gather his actual Fated Mate into his arms without hesitation! After, they only had eyes for each other, reducing me to a joke. Running away from the party, I had Emily, my wolf, take me away to my grandmother's home, whose love warmed me. I made an acquaintance with Vincent, the werewolf whom my grandmother recently rescued. He taught me how to protect myself, but just as I was reveling in the delight of gaining power, a phone call telling me that my father had gone missing brought me to my senses. I could hardly believe that the nightmare was our nightmare even as my brother Andy told me about it, but it has definitely been a while since my father contacted me. "Mom needs you, Betty. Come back." However, going back was too cruel for me because it meant watching as my ex-boyfriend publicly displayed his affection for his new girlfriend. Still, I was worried about my father too, so I told my grandmother about it, and she decided to return with me to share the burden. Nonetheless, I returned to find unfamiliar werewolves patrolling the Pack... What was going on? It was only when I reached home that I realized Simon turned out to be a coward, running away and allowing the Pack to be attacked! And my father was missing because of the war Simon had incited! That coward... I'll tear him into pieces if I ever find him! Before I could get my revenge, the Pack's new Alpha began bullying me during training sessions. Did he think he was above me just because he's bigger?! One day, I am going to hand his own butt to him!

Aloof CEO's; Charming Secretary

Secretary Andy asked Sky, "Miss. Sky, why do you come here often? What is so special about this place?" Sky looked at him and asked unemotionally, "Are you asking as a secretary or as... as an old friend?" Andy hesitated for a movement and answered, "A... A friend." and he looked forward to listening to her. After a minute of silence, "A few years back I came here with a guy, I was so happy to be with him here, I miss those laughter and smiles. Just standing beside him, and accompanying him was making me happiest and cheerful. I liked spending time with him. Was I too greedy?" She looked at him with an expectant look. Andy never expected Sky to be emotional. He tried to analyze what she said and he was dumbfounded by his thought. 'Was.. was it me?' He doesn't want to consider it. Excerpt: "Sky! Come here!" Arlo waved his hand to call her near controlling his surge of anger. Sky frantically shook her head and removed her heels seeing him coming towards her. He breathed out through his mouth slowly and asked patiently, "Who told you that I'm..." He gritted his teeth before saying, "Gay." 'I will make sure that person regrets all his life.' He thought to himself and looked at Sky. She climbed on the bed and moved towards another end of the room as she replied, "Didn't Dad say it in front of you about you and Ray?" It was a bombshell to his poor heart. He stared at her in disbelief. She was holding her heels and looked at him in horror. 'This dumb woman thought of me as gay from day one.' He was bewildered at his thought. "Sky! Let's sit and talk. Come here." Arlo called again, patiently. Sky shook her head hysterically, "I would have never allowed you in my room if I knew you are bis..." He didn't let her finish and grunted "Sky!" --- *** --- This is an original story.
