    Summary

    She stuck the cigarette between her lips, the shade of pink her mother had slapped on her before they left now coating the filter. Rio crossed the distance, taking both ends of the fabric and crossing one over the other. “You are meant to be highly educated, you cannot tie a bow?”

    He raised his chin, smirking as he quipped, “Just because men are educated does not mean they are intelligent.”

    She finished the bow, smoothing out any puckering. Rio raised a single brow as she took the cigarette between two fingers again, blowing the smoke off to the side of the man. “Another topic we agree on.”

    “How thrilling,” August smirked.

    “Thrilling indeed,” she deadpanned.

    OR-
    London 1813.
    Augustus (Agatha) must find a wife according to his mother, and Rio must find a husband to save her family from financial ruin. Except, Augustus isn't a man, and Rio has no interest in marriage or men.

    Summary

    Agatha was thrice blessed: by Demeter, by prophecy, by birth into power.

    Thrice cursed: caged, controlled, claimed by a mother who saw only her value.

    Then Rio came: an alpha who should have been beneath her notice, who smelled like earth and honey.

    When their hands first touched, the vision tore through her. Sunlight through olive leaves. Bodies tangled in sheets. A tongue that split and tasted acrid. Dark eyes hollowed out into nothingness.

    She saw what loving Rio would cost.

    For one night, Agatha chose freedom.

    The gods made her pay for it.

    Summary

    Rio raised her chin, her face relaxing in disinterest. “So why are you only pinching me now?”

    “I needed an eye witness actually seeing you in action.” She titled her head, her gaze curious roaming over Rio’s body. “I’ll give it to you, your sleight of hand isn’t half bad.” Her free hand came to Rio’s thigh, slowly trailing upwards. “And you can’t necessarily swap cards without doing a little counting too, right? That takes some skill, hon.”

    Rio’s tongue felt heavy, the warmth of this woman’s touch was spreading across her skin like delicious pin pricks. “I don’t know what you mean,” Rio sweetly lied.

    “Mmmh,” she hummed, her fingertips skating underneath the hem of Rio’s skirt. There was a rough tug followed by the sharp snap of her garter. The owner held up the cards in show. “You’re a terrible liar for your line of work, baby.”

    Summary

    Rio remains stoic, unimpressed yet uncomfortably aware of how warm her face is getting. It’s the same heat she feels when Wanda ambushes her with an unexpected compliment, except this time, it’s happening because some smug, unprincipled menace has waltzed into an Applebee’s on a Friday evening and called her boring to her face.
