    Summary

    "I want your help."

    Her eyes meet his. They're too fucking blue, dark and deep and surrounded by long, pretty lashes.

    "Help writing?" She imagines late nights standing behind him as he writes by the glow of his laptop, bending down so their cheeks hover with only warm inches of air between them. Letting her chin rest on his shoulder for a second, her nails tapping the screen. Feeling his breath hitch as she presses herself to him. She shifts in her seat and tries to pull herself together.

    He shakes his head. "No. Help with the sex."

    She laughs. It startles out of her in a bubble. "You want me to help you find someone to shag?" she asks incredulously, raking her fingers through her tangled curls (she was too hungover this morning to brush them properly).

    But Colin doesn't laugh, and his eyes don't leave hers. "No. I want to shag you." He grimaces. "I've never said that word before."

     

    Or Virgin Professor Bridgerton asks his colleague Penelope for some help...

    Summary

    He saw her again, for the first time since the war, in the bowels of the Ministry, a horrid place to be in general, and even worse when the breath was knocked out of you.

    When Hermione Granger (dash Krum — he acknowledged this for one time only, and then refused to think it again) stepped into the conference room, Draco’s first thought was: tight.

    Horrid, misogynistic, leering. He was no better than a wizard on the street. But it didn’t apply just to her body — wrapped in a combination of robes and a navy sheath dress, slightly pleated at the collar — but to her hair, which was coiled into a bun that drew out the planes of her face. Her eyes, tight. Her lips, tight. Her hands, which clutched a sheaf of parchment, tight. Her demeanour, which was utterly controlled.

    Tight.

    He wanted to break it. It lit him up, from the base of his spine to his brainstem, this desire.

    __

    Or, Draco Malfoy sees what he wants, and pulls the strings to get it.

    Summary

    Being competent is exhausting. All day long, Hermione makes important decisions—so many that she hardly has the time to choose her lunch. Or make it.

    Or eat it.

    And her startlingly competent coworker has everything in order—his job, his health, even his six-year-old daughter. After witnessing her plight, he offers to take a load off her shoulders. Help her out with things like...lunch.

    It should be embarrassing.

    It is embarrassing.

    And yet...

    She...likes it?

    Summary

    When Draco stumbles upon a particularly nasty curse at work, Hermione's Friday evening plans suddenly go from a hot bath and a good book to staying late to help research a countercurse.

    But Draco's ache only grows as the evening goes on. The pain and agony won't relent.

    So Hermione offers to help him out. After all, it's what any good colleague would do.

    ---

    “I only meant, is there someone you could call? Someone you’re with, who could…”

    Draco laughs. The sound is harsh. “If I were seeing someone, do you think I’d still be sitting here with you instead of buried deep inside her right now?”

    Summary

    Draco Malfoy can stay on a bull for eight seconds.

    Hermione Granger is about to make him lose his grip.

    * * * *

    Draco "The Dragonslayer" Malfoy was supposed to stay on Hermione's bedroom wall: a glossy poster, a silly teenage crush, a fantasy, and nothing more. Then, he walked onto her family's Texas ranch and upended the future she thought was already hers. It doesn't matter that Draco has a reputation for getting exactly what he wants, when he wants—at least, not to Hermione.

    So, what happens when wanting and owning blur a dangerous line?
