The night had been close to magical. The time spent with all of her friends at the beer garden had been exactly what Josie needed after everything she'd been through these past few weeks. She almost couldn't believe she wasn't dreaming, but there she was ambling back to the palace, her steps falling close to Drake's as he hummed happily. He stumbled only a little.

"Drake, are you drunk?" She giggled.

"Novak, I don't get drunk. Maybe you're drunk."

"Uh huh,"

"I'm just… happy. We're home. Savannah's coming home…..you like me for some reason…"

"Okay you've definitely had more to drink than I thought." Josie laughed, linking her arm with Drake's. He paused just before the door and they watched their friends disappear inside. He turned to her.

"Hey, how about a palace tour tonight? Just you, me, and portraits of stuffy old guys."

"We're all staying in the palace, Drake. I've seen it."

"Nah, Novak. You've seen the palace the way the royal family wants you to see it." He dropped his voice to a slightly slurred whisper, "I can show you the palace… like you've never seen it before."

There was a glimmer in his eye that Josie had never seen before and she wasn't ready to see it go away.

"I'm in. Where does this tour start?"

Drake proudly showed Josie special spots in both the ballroom and one of the many hallways. His gleeful demeanor was maybe the most adorable thing she had ever seen and she was hopeful that although he stood before her now looking very confused that he would have more stops on his little tour. Finally his eyebrows disappeared into his hairline as he looked at her, more enthusiasm oozing from him.

"Let me take you to our final stop,"

He grabbed her hand and dragged her along an unknown route to a part of the palace she'd never seen before. Stopping in front of a heavy wooden door he looked at her over his shoulder and wiggled his eyebrows before pushing it open to reveal an empty library.

"Did you bring me here to read to me?" She asked, taking in the splendor of the room.

He didn't answer. Instead he released her hand and started feeling along the spines of old books on one of the shelves, muttering to himself. His shoulder bounced off of a pillar as something began to rumble. A panel in the wall swung open and he grinned back at her proudly.

"I found it! C'mon Novak!" He dragged her through the panel whirling around to grin at her triumphantly.

"Welcome…. To my secret passage."

Josie looked around the stone passageway. It was cold and dimly lit and it had a faint odor of mildew.

"Where does it go?"

"A dead end. That part's no fun. The cool part is just…this passage. Even Liam doesn't know about this place."

He told her all about how he used to hide away from the court in the passage when he was growing up. Taking a seat on a stone step he peered up at her.

"But…now I do. Why bring me here?"

He told her about how he thought she'd like a secret place to hide and that they could share this one. Josie sat beside him in companionable silence for a few beats.

Finally, she spoke, "Thanks for showing me this place, Drake."

"Thank yooouuu for going on my tour."

"I'd give it five stars. "

"Then my job here is done, " he replied, his face breaking into a goofy grin.

Again they fell into a quiet, Drake staring at his feet as he dragged them across the stone and Josie staring at Drake.

"This passageway reminds me of you." She told him.

"Because I'm cold and stony?"

She threw her head back laughing.

"No, I don't think that at all."

"You might be the only one. "

She laid her hand on his knee and Drake's expression sobered. His eyes settled on it briefly before flicking up to look into Josie's.

"It's a safe haven. Because you make me feel safe."

He swallowed hard.

"I'd never let anything happen to you, Novak."

"I believe you. Even if you haven't always been my biggest fan."

"I never said that!"

She grinned, "You never had to, I could tell you were always trying to keep me at arm's length, Drake."

He stared into her eyes for a long time before he offered, "I…if I didn't keep you close I could ignore what I was feeling. It would be easier when you and Liam…"

"Drake, I was never in love with Liam. I care about him in the same way that you do. "

"But he would move the sun and the moon for you! I just…I don't understand why you would choose me. Liam can give you everything and-"

Josie reached up and placed her forefinger over his lips.

"Life with Liam will always be a whirlwind. Tours and balls and meetings and hidden moments in the hedge maze. Drake, my whole life has been…well a series of unfortunate events. Nowhere has ever felt like home. Everyone has always felt temporary. Coming to Cordonia made that worse. I've been in the center of a maelstrom, especially since the coronation and I…I don't blame Liam, I don't. But, he hasn't been here by my side; and yet…in the middle of my chaos, there was you. Every single time I needed someone, you were there. After everything…I never cared about Liam's wealth. So it doesn't bother me to turn it down for the most valuable things life can offer: love, steadfastness, loyalty. You offer me all of those things, Drake Walker. And in my mind you're worth a thousand Liams."

In a flash Drake's lips were upon hers, his hands coming up to tenderly cup her face on each side. Josie's eyes squeezed shut as she gripped the denim at his waist returning his sentiment. When finally they parted Drake rested his forehead on hers with more clarity in his eyes than she'd seen from his all night.

"I don't know what I ever did to deserve you, Novak…Josie, but I swear I'll never stop trying to be worthy of you." He whispered reverently. She grazed her hand down his cheek, a shiver going down his spine at her touch.

"You couldn't get rid of me now if you tried."

Teaser - Marry in Haste - new chapters coming soon!

The tag list is from the original tag list for this fic. If you don't respond then I'll assume you want to be taken off it. xx ♡ refresh your memory here: MIH masterlist + shorts

(1820)

The door slams open to the room, and young Lord Martin Ballantine bursts in, startling Marlcaster from his contemplation of a bottle of vintage scotch and the newspaper.

"Marlcaster! You're missing it!" Ballantine pounds heartily on the door, as if to prove his point. "There's a race on Rotten Row, and it's going to start any minute! Haven't you heard the commotion from the street?"

Marlcaster glowers at the interruption, swirling his scotch with the movement of his wrist. "I don't pay much mind to the doings of the street," he drawls, curling his upper lip just so, and Ballantine colors, tugging at his collar. "But since there's a race on, tell me quick whether or not it's worth my trouble."

Ballantine shakes his auburn curls. "I'll tell you on the way, old man. I've got two hundred pounds on it already. Do try to keep up."

That is why, not ten minutes later, Marlcaster finds himself being jostled so hard his teeth rattle, pounding on the roof of the coach as he tries to make the driver speed up. "Blast! It would have been faster to take my mount!"

Ballantine leans forward, barely able to keep his voice from cracking like a boy's, so great is his excitement.

(Or, more likely, his greed for those two hundred gold Sovereigns, for his IOUs are so monstrous, his creditors have threatened to repossess his estates -- Marlcaster, for one, would be the sole beneficiary of a castle in Wales, were he not passing fond of the young pup.)

"Everyone saw it! The streets were in an uproar! A curricle going so fast it was like a lightning streak, driven by a pair of Arabian bays from the hiring stable in Mayfair!"

Marlcaster leans back against the seat, and has his teeth rattled so hard it is a wonder they do not drop into his lap. "And it did not hit anyone? Think of the scandal, Ballantine."

Ballantine's face lights up. "It was a marvel! The Amazon in the seat drove those bays like a she-devil, dodging around every phaeton and gig like she was born to race a chariot! The thing nearly tipped over once or twice, and the crowd screamed, but her groom -- a big African, kitted out in uniform -- well, he swung his weight over every time it threatened to careen over the side! And well, you know how men hate being beaten when they're in a race they did not even know was a race!"

Marlcaster is beginning to get an inkling.

Hey can you post some of your favorite fics about royal romance especially any love triangles, I’m obsessed with your amazing writing I literally read your whole master list 😂♥️♥️

I’ve been here a loooooong time (3 years this March), many people I read at the beginning are no longer here so I’m sitting here trying desperately to remember who has love triangles that’s still here.

My favorite TRR writers are:

@blackcatkita @debramcg1106 @sirbeepsalot @dcbbw (who I believe has some triangles) @choiceslife @darley1101 @walkerismychoice @the-everlasting-dream @choicesfanatic86 @choiceswreckedme @kaitycole @blackcoffee85 @lolablackwrites @stopforamoment

@theroyalweisme has a good Liam and Leo triangle

@leelee10898 also has a good Liam and Leo triangle

@ao719 has a triangle or two

@speedyoperarascalparty has Evil Maxwell you don’t want to miss that

@janezillow has evil Drake

@katurrade started the mobster Liam craze

And now my brain is absolutely shorting so I may have missed a writer or two I adore and I am so so sorry.

Hope this helps Nonny and I’m glad you found slogging through my entire Masterlist enjoyable.

I wish you would write a fic where Luz and Zoey plan a date for their parents

Ok @darley1101, I’m not usually a fluffy writer (clearly lol) but I gave it my best, so I hope it doesn’t suck, lol.

***********

Zoey stuffed a french fry into her mouth as she sat at the lunch table with Luz. “Did you figure out what we’re making?” She asked Luz through a giggle.

“Yeah, I have it all planned out. But I hafta set it up before you get there so it’s ready!” Luz replied with a mischievous grin.

“You don’t think they’ll be mad, do you?”

“Nah,” she waved her off. “Dad gets mad at me all the time, but he gets over it super quick. They’ll be thanking us,” she grinned.

Early that evening, Tara pulled into Thomas’s driveway needing to discuss her case with him, the girls planning to watch a movie while they talked. The custody case was hanging over Tara and her nerves seemed to be looming more and more as the days went on. But Zoey had taken notice that anytime her mom was with Thomas she was always smiling and didn’t seem to be so worried. When she mentioned it to Luz, she agreed, noting that her dad was the same way when he was around Tara, always smiling and ‘his face always red’. So the girls came up with a plan, one that they had discussed every day at lunch the past week.

Tara rang through doorbell, Luz opening it to greet them. “Hi!” She grinned.

“Hello, Luz,” Tara smiled at her.

Luz pulled Zoey by the arm. “Uh...my dad will be right down!” And with that the two girls disappeared.

Tara stood waiting for Thomas and glanced up a short time later seeing him descend the stairs. “Hello,” he smiled. “Sorry, I was on a call.”

“That’s ok.”

“Where did the girls go?”

“No idea. They took off together the minute we got inside,” she chuckled.

Thomas smiled as he shook his head. “Alright, we can head to my office. I was going to order a pizza for dinner...if you and Zoey want to stay.”

“Sure,” she smiled.

They walked down the hall and Thomas pushed open the door, stopping short as his eyes slightly widened. His desk was covered in multicolor crepe paper that was cut into confetti, two paper plates with two paper cups set up on his desk with an unlit candle between them.

Tara peered around him to see what he was looking at, a soft chuckle coming from her. “What’s all this?”

“I...I have absolutely no idea...” Tara watched the flush creep up his neck to his cheeks as they walked inside. “Let...let me get this cleaned up. Luz must have been playing in here earlier,” he gave a sheepish smile.

They heard the clearing of someone’s throat and both turned, Tara cupping her hand over her mouth. There stood Luz and Zoey, both wearing white aprons. “Please have a seat,” Zoey giggled holding a tray in her hand, Luz holding another.

Thomas stared at Luz, the flush on his cheeks growing redder. “Lulu, what...what are you doing?”

“Serving you dinner, duh. What does it look like? We’re waitresses!” She motioned to their aprons. The girls walked over and set the trays they were holding down before practically shoving Thomas and Tara into their seats. “I didn’t light the candle because my dad hid all the fire starters from me.”

“For obvious reasons,” Thomas retorted.

The girls turned and grabbed the contents from the trays. “The menu for this evening’s date-“

“Date?” Thomas and Tara both asked in unison.

“Yes, shhh, pay attention!” Luz snapped, Thomas’s eyes going wider.

“As I was saying,” Zoey began, “the menu for this evenings date is dino nuggets and pizza rolls...microwaved, since we can’t use the oven,” Zoey grinned as she set the plates containing the food between the pair.

“And whatever is in this bottle,” Luz held up an open bottle of Black label scotch. “I found it in my dad's drawer,” she grinned. She plucked the top off the bottle just before Thomas snatched it from her.

“I’m going to have to move my hiding spot for when she’s older,” Thomas covered his face with his hand as he set the bottle down on his desk, still holding the neck of it. He looked back up at Tara. “Do you drink scotch?”

“No,” Tara chuckled as she shook her head.

“Ok,” he nodded before turning his wing backed chair away from the girls so they couldn’t see him lifting the bottle to his lips to take a sip.

“Ok, we’re going to leave you two alone now...feel free to talk...get married or whatever,” Luz smiled.

The sip that Thomas had inconspicuously taken from the bottle came flying from his mouth as he began to cough at Luz’s words. Tara tucked her lips between her teeth trying to stop the laughter. “We got it from here girls. Thank you,” she chuckled. The girls giggled as they left the room, closing the door behind them. “Are you alright?” Tara laughed as she stood and walked around the other side of the desk with napkins that the girls had left on the one tray. She bent down wiping the floor up.

“I’m so sorry,” he closed his eyes shaking his head. He stood from his chair and grabbed some more napkins, bending down to help her.

“Don’t apologize,” she smiled. “Apparently they had this well thought out. Both of them.”

“True. They certainly seemed to have planned this.” He looked up meeting her gaze and their eyes locked as they both rose up from the floor. “Obviously Luz picked up...on my feelings for you. I’m not as transparent as I thought.”

“Same with Zoey,” she smiled. “Apparently neither one of us is very good at hiding,” she chuckled.

Thomas reached his hand up, brushing it across Tara’s cheek, his heart racing as he stared into her eyes. He tentatively leaned down and pressed his lips to hers in a lingering kiss.

They were both unaware of the cracked door with two sets of eyes peering inside. The two girls quietly shut the door, both giggling. “It worked!” Luz grinned as she first bumped Zoey.

“Our work here is done,” Zoey replied. “Are there any more nuggets left?”

A Better Offer

Pairing: Dr. Bryce Lahela x MC (Dr. Blake Reyes)

Book: Open Heart

Word Count: ~1,000

Rating: PG-13

Author’s Note: A little drabble idea that popped into my head for Blake and Bryce. I hope this makes you smile today!

Please let me know if you would like to be added to my tag list. You can find all of my fics in my Masterlist on my homepage.

~~~~~~~~~~

The sounds of laughter, conversation and John Mellencamp surrounded the patrons of Donahue’s, the blended melody of bar noises accented occasionally by the sharp ping of a dart making contact with the board. The surgical interns’ favorite watering hole was remarkably uncrowded on this particular Wednesday evening, most likely a result of the chilly drizzle that had plagued the Windy City all week. However a little rain would never deter this rowdy crew from their post-shift drinks, games and general debauchery.

Bryce stilled as he poised for his throw, narrowing his eyes at the target before- thwack!- releasing the dart. “Damnit!” He grunted, the needle landing just outside of the double ring.

“Nice try, Lahela.” Brett Williams, one of his usual intern companions, gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder as he took his position in front of the dart board. “But let me show you how it’s done.”

Bryce gave him a smug smirk as he moved out of the way, followed by his typical ration of competitive trash talk. “I know better than to take lessons from you, Williams. But I’m always ready for a laugh.”

The men were huddled around their high table near the games in the well-established bar, drinking beer and bullshitting as they did most every night after work. And as always, the third companion had another tall tale about another gorgeous woman that had fallen head over heels for him. “So, like I was saying, this girl is gorgeous. Tall, blonde, looks like a Victoria’s Secret angel straight out of the catalog.” Ian Emmendorfer proceeded to detail his latest female obsession, ironically very similar in description to the last one he’d mentioned.

“Are you sure you aren’t thinking about your wet dream last night, Emmendorfer?” Brett chuckled, his face set in a cocky grin as he focused on the dart board and- thwack!- hit about six inches outside of the rings. “Ah shit!” He growled.

Bryce released a hearty laugh, reaching his hand out to steady himself against Brett’s shoulder. “Aw, thank you man. I told you I needed a good laugh!”

“Shut up, you asshole!” Brett gave him a good-natured shove, his face curved into wide grin.

Bryce smirked at his friend as he stepped up to the dart board to retrieve the ammunition for the next round. He heard the other two men continue to rag on each other in the background while he worked, specifically Brett probing Ian for more details on his supposed new lady friend. Buzz buzz. Feeling his phone vibrate in his pocket, he paused his dart retrieval mission to fish it out and read his new message. He couldn’t suppress the giddy smile that curled at his lips when he saw who it was from.

The brilliant, beautiful and funny Dr. Blake Reyes.

Ugh, finally done with my 16 hour shift. I’m beat. How’s my favorite scalpel jockey?

Bryce grasped the last dart in his hand before walking back to the table, setting them down and grabbing his beer bottle. He held the beer bottle near his face and put on his best cheesy grin before snapping a selfie and pressing send. Better than you, I’d suspect.

“Hey Lahela, Emmendorfer here was just saying that his new girl Veronica invited us to that new club Pulse. And she’s bringing friends.” Brett accentuated the last word with a mischievous wiggle of his eyebrows.

“Yeah man, and if they’re half as hot as Veronica then you will not be disappointed!” Ian supplemented Brett’s statement enthusiastically just as Bryce’s phone buzzed again in his hands.

Another text from Blake … You are evil, Lahela. I don’t know why I put up with you.

Bryce chuckled to himself, wearing his signature cocky grin as he clicked out his sarcastic response. I can think of a couple of reasons that your neighbors heard you screaming about the other night. 😉

Bryce waited patiently as the three dots appeared in the text screen. And you just proved my point. 😊 Dots. I’m on my way home now. You want to hang out tonight?

His fingers slid across the screen swiftly. I could possibly be persuaded … what were you thinking?

“Lahela! Bryce, man, you in?” Ian’s call startled Bryce back to the present, lifting his head to find his two friends staring expectantly at him. “You in for Pulse tonight?”

“This place is slow as hell tonight anyway, and you know I’m always up for some female companionship.” Brett added to the argument.

Bryce felt a vibration in his hand and glanced down at his screen again to find a new message from Blake. I’m thinking pizza, pajamas, and Netflix on the couch. Lame, I know. You interested?

“Come on Lahela, it’ll be fun! I swear these girls are so hot!” Ian continued to chide him.

Bryce stilled in place, running over the scenarios in his mind. Pulse was known for strong drinks and sweaty, scantily clad women gyrating on the dancefloor … two things he would normally never pass up. Then again … he imagined Blake wearing her baggy t-shirt and leggings on the couch, snuggling against him while they watched season one of the Widow. Yeah … no brainer.

“Sorry guys …” Bryce reached down to grab his beer, downing the rest of the contents in one long swig. “I’ve got a better offer.” He shrugged on his jacket and turned to saunter towards the exit, typing out a response to Blake as he walked. See you in twenty.

Behind him he could hear the grumbling reactions of his two companions. “Hey! Does this have something to do with that hot doctor from the diagnostics team you keep sneaking into the supply closet with?” Brett called after him.

“Night guys!” Bryce shouted over his shoulder without a second glance. “See you tomorrow!”

When I Taste Tequila

Book: The Elementalists

Pairing: Beckett X MC (Zoe Flynn)

Rating: PG-13 with some mature language and themes

A/N: This is an alternate universe fic request by @indubitablywrong. I’m purposely not revealing what the a/u is until the end to not give too much away

Tag List: @tabithacarlisle @thatspicegirlssong @darley1101 @flyawayboo @drakewalkerfantasy @flowerpowell @itsstillnotwhatyouthink @jimmypagesandbrianmayshair @tmarie82 @choiceswreckedme @regina-and-happiness @blackcatkita @debramcg1106 @lizeboredom @boneandfur @llamasgrl

Word Count: 3139

“Okay, enough unpacking. We need to go out for drinks, right now.” Atlas insisted.

“But I start my internship early in the morning.” Zoe protested. “I’m not sure going out is such a good idea. Since when do you like being around people anyway? I think there are still a few beers in the fridge if you want.”

“No.” Atlas turned Zoe around and pushed her towards her bedroom. “We haven’t seen anything outside of these four walls the past two days, and I’m going back to Boston in the morning. Go get dressed, and let’s go!”

New Brunswick, NJ was not the most glamorous city for a new college graduate, but it was home to a prestigious chemical engineering internship program at one of the top pharmaceutical companies in the country. If it ended up working out, and she got a job there making real money, she could always move to the city and commute, but for now a modest apartment near work would have to do. Thankfully Zoe’s interviewers had mentioned a trendier establishment they often frequented so she an Atlas wouldn’t have to chance ending up in some crappy dive bar. Still, she figured the typical attire would be somewhat casual, so she went for her standard favorite skinny jeans and black crop top that always made her feel good about her appearance. She took down her messy bun and her brunette hair miraculously fell in uniform waves past her shoulders like she had purposefully spent time doing it. She dabbed on some lip gloss, fixed up her eye makeup, and was good to go. Atlas, unsurprisingly, remained in her usual uniform of worn out jeans, t-shirt, and leather jacket. Her silvery bob was the only feature that distinguished her from her from her identical twin, Zoe. Well, that and the almost constant resting bitch face Atlas wore.

Heads turned as they walked into the moderately crowded bar as the patrons surveyed the newcomers, but everyone seemed to quickly lose interest and get back to their conversations. Zoe and Atlas found a small table in the corner where they sat and perused the drink menu. The decor was as expected - clean lines, dark wood, and pendant lights, and thankfully it didn’t reek like old cigarette smoke. Vintage beer signs were hung neatly across all the walls. The music was upbeat and good for dancing, but not so loud you had to yell to hear one another.

Zoe and Atlas both ordered mojitos and nursed their drinks as the analyzed the other customers in the bar. People watching was one of their favorite past times.

"Those two," Atlas nodded towards a couple probably in their late twenties a few tables away, "....definitely on their first date."

“Judging from the overdone makeup on her and the amount of product in his hair, I’d say the same.” Zoe agreed.

“Plus her awkward fidgeting every time there’s a pause in the conversation...” Atlas added. “Ooh, and that group all seems pretty tight, except that overly stuffy one. He seems like he doesn’t want to be here.”

Zoe scanned the group of ten or so people in the adjacent corner and immediately picked out who Atlas was talking about. It was a guy about her age, maybe a couple years older. He was wearing dark gray dress pants, a medium blue dress shirt and a matching patterned tie, while the rest of the group was a mix of business casual and blue jeans. His chestnut hair was perfectly coiffed like it wouldn’t have moved if a hurricane rolled through, and he almost certainly smelled heavily of cologne. She could just tell. “He’s kind of hot but takes himself way too seriously. I’m guessing a group of coworkers out for happy hour and he got dragged along. He’s the dress for the job you want, not the one you have type. I bet he annoys the fuck out of everyone else.” Zoe took another sip of her drink and looked to Atlas waiting for her final analysis.

“I bet he’s also type who likes attractive brunettes with wavy hair and brown eyes.” Atlas replied with a smirk.

“What?” Zoe scrunched her face in confusion and glanced over catching his gaze briefly before he averted his eyes.

“He was totally checking you out.” Atlas chuckled.

Zoe shook her head. “He’s probably just staring off wishing he was anywhere else but here.”

“Fine. Let’s test this out. Go up to the bar and order a drink and see if he walks up next to you,” Atlas encouraged.

“What is this?” Zoe scoffed. “You trying to play matchmaker or something? I’ll go just to prove you wrong.” Zoe marched up to the bar and sat down, ordering another mojito, but only for herself. Atlas could order her own for putting Zoe up to this. The bartender finished making the cocktail and set it down, but the stool next to Zoe was still empty. She picked up glass and was about to go back to Atlas and declare victory, when she saw a figure out of the corner of her left eye. She inconspicuously turned her head, and sure enough it was him. Zoe looked back to her sister who was smiling smugly. Well at this point Zoe should stay a minute longer. Maybe it was just a coincidence and he needed a drink. Atlas could still be wrong.

The guy caught the bartender’s attention. “I’ll just have a water please.”

A water? Okay there’s no way he came up to the bar while I’m sitting her just because he needed a water. She hated being wrong when Atlas was right enough not to worry about what she was going to do now that this pretentious looking guy was potentially trying to make a move on her. She had to admit that he was even better looking up close, and although she was totally right about the cologne, she actually liked the smell. She grasped the cup in her hands and stared into it, waiting to see what would happen next, but nothing happened. They both sat in silence as what felt like an eternity passed but was probably only a couple minutes. Zoe finally gave in and swiveled her barstool in his direction. “So are we going to sit in silence, or are you going to introduce yourself to me?”

“Wha-” It was difficult to tell in the dim light, but she thought she may have seen the tips of his ears turn red. “Oh, um, hello. I’m Beckett.” he extended a hand to her.

She was taken aback by his formality, but she went with it, shaking his hand and echoing his tone. “Hello Beckett, I’m Zoe.”

“Pleased to meet you, Zoe. So...uh,do you frequent this establishment?”

Zoe groaned internally. It was like he was reading out of a book of bad pick-up lines, but in his own geeky language. For as self-assured as he appeared from afar, he was nothing like that in front of her now. She couldn’t decide if his awkwardness was cute or just weird. “Is that supposed to be you hitting on me? You are going to have to do better than that.”

“I wasn’t-” Beckett sighed. “I’m sorry. I don’t normally do this as you can probably tell.”

“And what exactly are you doing?” Zoe bit back a smile. She never typically felt like she had the upper hand with hot guys like him, so she was enjoying watching him squirm.

“Well, your smile captivated me from across the room and I thought you might be someone I’d like to get to know a bit better,” Beckett admitted.

“Huh,” Zoe tilted her head to the side trying to figure him out, but she also felt a bit of warmth rush to her cheeks. “You are a different one Beckett. Most guys would just say they thought I was cute or they liked my ass.”

This time there was a definite blush across his entire face before he cleared his throat. “Not to sound cliche, but I’m not like most guys.”

Coming from anyone else, Zoe might think this was another line, but she could sense Beckett was clearly unique, and she couldn't help but be intrigued by him. Still, that didn't mean she was going to go easy on him, "That's what they all say," she teased, but then she when she saw his expression of self-doubt she took pity on him. "I was just messing around, Beckett. For the record, I think your smile is captivating as well. You should show it more often." He seemed genuinely pleased by the compliment, but still a bit stiff and uncomfortable. "That's it, no more water for you." She flagged down the bartender again. "Two - no make that four shots of tequila with some extra salt and limes on the side."

"Zoe, that's quite alright. I'm good with water," Beckett insisted.

Zoe eyed him discerningly. "You aren't in AA or anything are you?"

"No, I drink occasionally, but it's work night and I have to get up at five am for my daily yoga meditation-" he paused and exhaled loudly. "Okay, I see that look on your face. At least let me pay."

She wanted to protest, but who was she kidding? She was broke and was going to be working for peanuts at her internship. From the looks of his apparel, Beckett could most certainly afford it. "Don't think this means I'm going to put out for you though."

Beckett's eyes went wide. "That's not why I off-" He chuckled. "You are teasing me again aren't you?" He picked up a shot glass and handed it to her. Her fingers brushed his in the exchange, maybe intentionally, but he also held on a moment longer than necessary. He raised his own glass and locked his steely gray eyes on hers.

Zoe felt a spark of electricity between them and her heart started to flutter. "Cheers!" She swiftly picked up her shot to break the tension, licked the salt off, and clinked it against his, the liquid burning her throat as she poured it down. She bit down on her lime wedge to cut the taste, and Beckett did the same. He looked a little bit adorable as he scrunched his nose and puckered his lips at the mix of sour and bitter flavors. "Not much of a tequila drinker are you?"

Beckett shook his head. “No, I usually stick with wine, maybe an occasional scotch.”

“Yeah, I’m typically a wine or beer girl myself,” Zoe admitted. “I don’t really go for hard liquor unless it’s in a fruity drink.”

“Then why are we doing shots of tequila?” Beckett inquired with a hint of judgement in his tone. “Did you assume that’s what I would like?”

“Nope. You just seemed like you could stand to let loosen up a bit,” she replied.

“That probably could have also been achieved with drinks we actually like to drink.”

Zoe was starting to lose her courage for the next part now that she realized she might actually be into this guy. It was more than just a game now, but she decided to go for it anyway. She didn’t care if it was a cheesy party trick that should have been left behind in college. “Maybe, but drinking tequila shots can be a whole lot more fun than drinking other drinks. Have you ever done body shots?”

“What? No!” Beckett looked at her like she had two heads. “I thought people only did that in movies.”

Zoe chuckled. “See, this is exactly why I’m suggesting it. I can tell there are likely many youthful indiscretions you missed out on, but it's not too late. You’re what, twenty three?”

“Twenty Four. I think the window has passed.” He tried and failed to keep a straight face.

“I knew you wouldn’t pass up the chance to lick salt off of me. I’ll go first. Where do you want my mouth?”

“I...uh...” Zoe took slight satisfaction in the fact that the blushing, bumbling Beckett was back. “Why don’t you pick?”

“Alright then.” Zoe loosened his tie and unbuttoned the top two buttons on his dress shirt, and his breath quickened. “Can’t go wrong here.” She poured a small amount of salt in the dip of his collarbone and stuck a lime wedge in his mouth. Beckett stilled as if bracing himself for what was to come. Her mouth descended on him and she suctioned her lips to his skin almost hard enough to leave a mark as she licked him clean, only letting go after a soft whimper escaped his throat. Objective number one completed. She threw back the tequila without tasting it and then carefully bit into the flesh of the lime, avoiding any contact between their lips. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to kiss him. She wanted to very much, but she was leaving that up to him. She pulled back and let the lime drop into her shot glass. “You survived. Congratulations!”

“That actually wasn’t terrible.” Zoe assumed in Beckett terms that meant somewhere near spectacular. “I suppose I should take my turn now. Not that I want to be unoriginal, but the collarbone really is the optimal location to place the salt. May I?”

She found his nerdy formality oddly sexy. “Please do.” She tilted her head to the side and pulled her hair away to grant him better access. She picked the lime out herself, choosing the smallest one to give better odds their lips would meet. Beckett lowered his head slowly and then gently traced his tongue over her salted skin sending a shiver down her spine. Although she enjoyed it, his timidness didn’t bode well for her second objective, but time would tell. Beckett drank his tequila, hesitated, and then slipped his hand behind her head, drawing her in closer to him. He didn’t even bother biting down on the lime, bypassing it completely to get to her lips. His were soft and warm, tasting of citrus and salt. They passed the lime back and forth with their tongues, Beckett breaking the kiss when he gained possession one last time, finally completing his task.

He smiled confidently. “How did I do?”

Fucking amazing, Zoe thought but wouldn’t say that out loud. “Not bad, but a little more practice wouldn’t hurt. Should we order more?”

Beckett looked at his watch. “As fun as that was, it is getting late and I’ll barely get five hours of sleep as it is.”

“Shit!” Remembering she was there with her sister for the first time, Zoe looked back to their table but Atlas wasn’t there. She pulled her phone out of her purse and was relieved to see a text:

Got bored and went back to your place. You looked to be in capable hands😉

“Everything okay?” Beckett asked with genuine concern.

“Yes, but you are right. It is late, I have to get up early too.”

“Let me walk you out.” Beckett stood and offered her a hand up. All the alcohol consumed seemed to hit her at once as she got to her feet and she stumbled. Beckett braced her arm and led her outside.

Zoe was a little more drunk than she thought. Those mojitos must have been strong. Despite her better judgement, which was long out the window at this point, she wasn’t ready to say goodbye to Beckett just yet. She pulled him around the corner into an alleyway and pushed him up against the wall. She kissed him hard and he gave in without putting up much of a fight. She pressed her hips into him and could feel he was already hard. One night stands and public sex were not her style, but she wanted him so bad in that moment. She trailed her hands all the way down his chest and started to unbuckle his belt.

Beckett pushed her away suddenly. “What are you doing Zoe? I mean - it’s not that I don’t want that, but not like this. Not here when you’re probably not thinking clearly. I’ll order an Uber for you.”

Zoe was immediately much more sober and thoroughly embarrassed. “No really, don’t worry about it, I can walk. It’s not that far.”

“Please, I insist. What’s you address?” Beckett plugged the information into his phone and a car was there within minutes, but not a moment too soon to break their awkward silence. “Why don’t I come with and make sure you get inside okay?”

“That’s not necessary. I can take care of myself.” She huffed. She wasn’t upset with him, just mad at herself, but it probably didn’t come off that way.

“At least give me your number so I can make sure you made it home.” Beckett pleaded.

“Beckett, let’s just forget about all of this. You don’t have to worry about me anymore.” Before he could protest, she got into the car and locked the door. She wasn’t sure, but she may have seen Beckett slip the driver some extra cash. New Brunswick wasn’t a big city, but big enough that she hoped she wouldn’t have to run into him again.

~~~~~

Zoe walked into the building her first day hungover as fuck with a raging headache. She hoped she at least looked a little better than she felt. She was dressed the part, and her hair was clean at least. She prayed the smell of alcohol wasn’t still oozing out of her pores, but she was most definitely sober.

“Zoe, Welcome!” She was greeted by the hiring manager Annette. “Here’s your name badge. You are going to be working under one of our Senior Chemical Engineers. Why don’t you have a seat. I’ll go get him,and you two can go from there.”

As the minutes ticked by she had nothing to do but think - think about how she had ruined a great evening by trying to have sex in an alley with a guy she just met. Who even was she was last night? Then to top it off she freaked out on him even though he was still being nothing but kind and concerned about her. “Deep breaths.” She muttered to herself. Time to erase all that from her memory and focus on her new beginning. She stood up and smoothed out her clothing as she hear footsteps approaching around the corner. They were still a good distance away when she spotted him, but he looked very familiar, and she felt the color drain from her face.

Annette smiled warmly. Zoe, I’d like to introduce you to one of our senior chemical engineers and your mentor for the duration of your internship, Beckett Harrington.”

So much for never seeing him again.

End

Note: The theme of this alternate universe request was boss/intern. I didn’t want to do a traditional boss/intern story where the girl falls for the guy in a position of power over her, so this was the result.

3, 4, 5?

3. Which pairing would you like to see more around here? Do you know anyone who makes content about it already?

I don’t think I’m into any particularly obscure pairings, as my faves are all canon from fairly popular books. The world could definitely use more Jax x MC though. I do appreciate what’s been put out there already by @littlecrookedheart @walkerismychoice and @lizeboredom (and others I’m sure I’m spacing on right now, sorry!) but no one has been publishing any in a while that I’ve seen 👀

4. Have you ever seen a character in a different light because of fanfic or fanart I’ve seen?

It’s probably ironic because I don’t think she particularly loves him but no one makes me like Drake as much as @zigsexual does in her Driam vignettes. Several writers have made me see Maxwell in a better light, although I’m a bit hard-pressed to pull examples out of my brain right now…I know @choiceswreckedme would be among them. @leafnoyes is forever making me stan the Elara siblings with her art.

5. Recommend five fanfics from different writers that you’ve read lately.

OK so I did this already today but let me try to think of five more! I’ve been following Autumn Blues from @drakewalkerwhipped even though it continues to be punishingly miserable…at least there’s been a bit of sexy Liam lately to break it up. @callefortaleza‘s Virtuous is incredible antony-centric acor fic. @debramcg1106 is still working her sorcery to make me care about Drake x MC with The Spaces that Divide Us. @callmetippytumbles continues to deliver the best Liam x MC smut. And honestly I just now went to @blackcoffee85‘s blog to grab one of her cute Maxwell x MC drabbles and I found this smutty one instead and I died 😮

Thanks for the ask @melodyofgraves!

MFackenthal’s A Week In Reviews - 5th edition!

It’s time for another MFackenthal’s A Week in Reviews! It’s been over two weeks since I published the last one. I meant to get this out on Friday ... but life happened. Thank you for your patience. And, please, let me take a moment to say thank you to all of you for your support of me and this blog.

I’m always working to find new authors - so if there’s anyone’s work (your own or someone else’s) that you want me to review - please send it to me.

Also, as you can tell, I’m not always caught up with everyone’s work - I’m waaaay behind. I don’t know that I’ll ever catch up. ha! But I’ll keep reading and reviewing because I’m still loving this!

Weekly reminders:

(1) This list does not include headcanon posts, ABC posts or any post that wasn’t a fic. This also only includes reblogs and not work I “liked” but wasn’t able to provide commentary on.

(2) If you want to find out what I specifically thought about each chapter, that can be found on my blog. To more easily search my blog, search the phrase “mfackenthal reviews ________” and fill in the blank with the blog name. IE “mfackenthal reviews maxattack-powell” to find the work I reblogged specifically by @maxattack-powell.

(3) In case it’s not obvious: I recommend ALL of these fics and ALL of these authors. I cannot say enough about the fabulousness that is these authors.

(4) The list is loosely organized by love interest and partially on the order in which I read the fics. As some of these stories are poly or love triangles, some are just listed by whichever love interest I decided it was “safest” (meaning not a spoiler) to feature.

If the “read more” works then you’ll find the full list under the cut.

Leo X MC

Duties of a Prince by @theroyalweisme

This used to posted under Liam x MC, but things have changed my friends. This fabulous author is showing us a side of Leo that isn’t always explored. His tender side. It also shows us a Leo that wants to be the best leader for Cordonia. Are we starting to also see a Leo that is in love? This are really starting to heat up in these chapters – so if you haven’t caught up, now is the time to do so. PLUS, you get to meet an amazing gal named Megan and what can I say – us Megan’s have to stick together!

Liam X MC

Through the Storm (TTS) by @choicesfanatic86 If you’ve been following my reviews, you all know that I’m addicted to this series. Riley is pregnant and back in Cordonia. Will Liam be able to woo her? (Will anyone be able to convince him not to use the phrase “woo her”? Or do I secretly love to hate that he uses that phrase?)

They’re like episodes of Friends where the whole gang never leaves the apartment. In this story, the whole gang is playing paintball. It’s a battle of the sexes.

end notes:

(1) Big thanks to @drivenbyfantasy for creating the graphic.

(2) I reblogged 88 fics since my last post. Eek! I’m slowing down! Haha! In my defense, I also read three full books. So like an additional 600 pages outside of tumblr-land.

Yes, I have an addiction to your work. No, I don’t know how I keep up with this.

(3) Last, but not least, on the off chance that I missed a fic that you know I reblogged, my apologies! It was unintentional and is not a reflection on you, but upon my inability to maintain my own blog. Also, if a link or a tag doesn’t work – my apologies if the error is on my part. My last review worked on mobile but not the desktop … don’t know how I was able to make that happen …
