"Temptress wake up." A calm voice whispered in my ear.
My eyes slowly opened, everything was black for a moment and my eyes adjusted to the new light and Pietro was the first thing I see.
"Are we here?" I asked tiredly while yawning and a stretching my arms.
"Yep." He replied
I looked out the small plane window and saw a bright and sunny outside, we were obviously somewhere tropical.
"Where are we?" I asked
"Bora bora."
My eyes widen, Bora bora was one of the most expensive places to stay.
"How?"
"Another gift from Tony."
I looked at Pietro " why is Tony giving you all these gifts?" I asked
"He felt bad that I was 'dead' and everyone was upset, this was originally going to be for you and Wanda, but when I came back I guess Helen informed Tony who gave me the tickets and told me to take you, I was going to take you anyways."
I nodded and got off the plane with Pietro.
"Thanks J.A.R.V.I.S!" I yelled
"Your welcome miss Darwin."
I smiled as the warm breeze hit me and my blonde hair began to fly in every direction.
Pietro placed his hand around my waist and brush the strands of hair that were in my face.
"I'm glad you are liking where we are."
"Thank you Pietro."
"For what?" He asked raising an eyebrow
"For coming back to me."
Speed forward
We were at the beach now, after twenty minutes driving to the small hut on the ocean we dropped our stuff off and got into or bathing suits and went straight to the beach.

I was sitting on my purple beach towel and was laying under the colourful beach umbrella.
I felt cold wet arms grab and pick me up.
"No! Pietro I don't want to go in!" I yelled as I began running deeper in the water, he smiled at me before throwing me in the ocean.
I resurfaced and looked at Pietro " really?"
He laughed "your so wet for me." He joked
I punched him in the shoulder "Pietro!"
He kept laughing and grabbed my hips pulling me closer. " you love it."
I smiled " I love you"
He kissed me and smiled " I love you too."
It felt good saying and hearing those words, I thought is never get to repeat or hear those words from him ever again.
"I love that you took me here." I stated
"Your gonna love what I have planned for tonight."
"Oh? Is it a belated birthday dinner perhaps?" I asked
He shook his head " nah, it's more of a surprise, nothing related to a belated 20th birthday."
I groaned " more surprises? Can't you just tell me?"
Pietro looked at me and smiled shaking his head " I'm not gonna tell you, your just going to have to wait and see."
"You know I'm not a patient person."
He smiled "I know, but I love that about you."
He looked at me before grabbing my hand
"where are we going?" i asked as he was dragging me out of the water.
"back to our room" he replied as we walked out of the water an towards our towels that were under the umbrella.
i grabbed mine and followed him towards the dock that led to our hut "why?"

he turned to me and smiled before giving me a wink "you'll find out"
"will i like it?"
he laughed "temptress, you will love it."
i laughed with him as was walked on the wood dock looking at our surroundings.
the ocean was so blue and the sun was perfect, the warm weather was complimented by the nice breeze.
"i can't believe we are in Bora Bora"
"well believe it."
"i really have to thank Tony for all this, this must've cost a fortune."
"did you forget? tony is like a billionaire ."
I nodded my head in agreement.
This was like a dream, Pietro and I, together, in bora bora.
I smiled up at him, he looked down and smiled back with a quick wink.
We walked into the hut that was ours and I went into my suitcase.
"So what do you want me to wear?" I asked
He walked over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into his body resting his head in the crook of my neck.
"Check the bed."
I turned my head and raised my eyebrow at him while shrugging and walking into the bedroom to see three boxes on the bed.
One was larger than then others, then there was a shoe box, and lastly a small rectangle box that was made for jewelry.
I opened the large box first and gasped.
There was a blue sundress that was short in the front and long in the back, it had a sweetheart neckline and a silver belt.
I opened the shoe box an smiled as I pulled out a sliver pair of pumps.
Then there was a jewelry box, I opened it and felt like crying, there in the box was a diamond necklace, the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
I turned to see Pietro standing in the doorway with a giant smile on his face.
"What's all this for?" I asked through happy tears.
Pietro slowly walked over to me and gently wiped my tears away. "The surprise."
"What are you?"
I didn't finish my sentence as my phone rang, I looked at Pietro wide eyed.
"Answer it." He smiled
I grabbed my phone from the bed stand.
"Hello?"
"Hurry up and get ready, we are all waiting on you." A male voice asked
"Um, who is this?" I asked confused, the voice sounded so familiar.
"Are you serious right now?"
"Um, is this a trick question?"
"It's the guy who's paying for the trip!" The man, who was now identified as Tony Stark said.
"Oh, okay, bye Tony!"
I hung up on him and looked at Pietro.
"Seriously what's going on?"
"Get dressed and you'll find out."
With those words Pietro left the bedroom and I lightly laughed.
Pietro has something big up his sleeve.

Silver Fox and the Western Hero
Author's Note. This is book 7! Please feel free to hop on and enjoy! If you find you like my writing style, I hope you'll check out the first 6 books, all available to read on Kindle Unlimited, link below!) Alex was dying, and all the millions his father had left him meant nothing. The life he had been so eager to embrace, to do the memory of his father proud, would soon come to an end. Cancer. That ugly, terrible word. He had tried to be strong for his mother, even when the treatments left him violently ill, his body wracked with pain, his friends and even his girlfriend leaving him almost as fast as his once impressive physique wasted to nothing under the ravages of his illness. And just when he thought all hope was dead, a couple discrete referals placed by high-powered friends of his family got him an exclusive spot at the most sophisticated cryonic facility in the world. He didn't know if there was such a thing as an afterlife, but part of the package included uploading a copy of his cortex into a digital universe filled countless worlds to explore, where he could embrace whatever class or profession he could dream of. All of which sounded hell of a lot better than the miserable death waiting for him in the real world. In the end, he signed the paperwork, putting his pathetic flickering life in the hands of potential quacks and charlatans. After all, with death just days away, what did he have to lose? Even if he could never be successfully revived, he could at least adventure his heart out. (Authors Note: Books 1-6 are now live on Amazon and here is a link if you wanted to check it out! And I will continue to post chapters to Book 6 here first, until that tale is told! I hope you enjoy! And if you wanted to help support my work by checking out book 1 on Amazon, I would be extremely grateful!)

A Dungeon Tested
Its a hard life balancing all the things a successful dungeon should be doing. Will our newest addition to the dungeon race even survive let alone make it to the top where dungeons such as the megafauna roam? Or will our main character suffer in the dust till some inauspicious and ignoble death at the end of some F-rankers sword? Note this is me having some fun while I wait for new releases of dungeon stories. Feel free to comment on that basis. I will be keeping the first few chapters slow so as to give me plenty to build upon later. I have tentatively given this the gore tag for now. With that in mind "Let the games begin".
