Maybe it's the way he's like cool waters dancing on flames. Or maybe it's the way his spirals of earthy brown collide with golden flecks. He engulfs me in this warmth and I can't seem to pull away. His dark brown eyes seem to be searching for something and I'm afraid if he stares for too long, I would unravel. I'm holding on to secrets that keep me safe, but he has his secrets too. __________ Grief is an ocean and Magalise Parker is drowning. She's been holding her breath for far too long and at some point she has to let go. Time does not heal all wounds. Time is a cruel contemptuous wound that mocks. The coming year will mark the fourth anniversary of her mother's passing and grief hasn't quite run its course. Her father is hurt and upset by the unforeseen incident, neglecting his daughter. Alise's life is in shambles as she questions her cruel fate and the reason behind her Mom's passing. So when she meets Jamie Smith, notorious for his bad-boy looks but incredibly sweet personality, it's a clash of ice and fire. Will she let him in her and take the risk? Because sometimes unfolding, unravelling, and mending is all it takes.

After going through so many failed relationships, Amaltheia Kastellanos is tired-and not to mention heartbroken. So she does it. She runs away to a small town, changes her name to Patty Burger, gets a job as a waitress, and adopts a cat named Buns. Just kidding, her car runs out of gas way before all of that's possible. At this point in time, God decides he feels bad for poor Amal. So instead of leaving her completely stranded in the middle of nowhere, he leaves her stranded with an auto repair shop somewhat nearby. But that's not all Amal has in store. With the auto shop comes four good looking guys, surprising friendships, new apartments, and Julien Vaux. With a name sounding like it came from a sexy Eau de Parfum advertisement, Julien Vaux is nothing less than alluring, perceptive, and guarded. Although Amal has sworn herself to a break-maybe a permanent one, she can't help but wonder the answer to the question she's been dreaming of ever since she was a young girl. Eros, is he the one? _______

Blaze Davis is the girl in the shadows. The one no one notices but if given a chance, could light up your world with a personality as unique as the scars adorning her body like damaged armour. She has secrets no one knows and hidden beneath that mask is a broken soul. She's seen pain in it's ugliest form. From losing her best friend to being a victim of constant abuse by her boyfriend, Blaze's life is no short of being called a wreck. She knows hurt like the back of her hand. For her, life resembles a tragic poem she can recite from the depths of her heart, knowing she'll always be stuck in the same verse and destined to a doomed path. Building up walls and trying to cement the cracks became more of a task rather than a coping mechanism, giving rise to a closed-off and withdrawn shell. Enter Rafael Hernandez. The Loner Bad Boy. A person with no shortage of wounds himself. He has demons of his own, fighting to take over. Plagued by the regrets and shadows of his past, he manages to hide behind a tough exterior of arrogance and hostility. Resorting to the darkness dwelling in the shadows of his mind, he's on the road to a catastrophic spiral that could leave him lifeless and desolate. What happens when he takes a sudden interest in her? Could this boy be enough to break down her walls? Or will he deepen her scars until she bleeds out from the pain?

I don't know what happened but I took my heel off and played with Jamie's member underneath the table, he gave me that look. The pills made me want to do things that would get me in trouble. "Oh baby you don't want to start that" "Oh but I do," I said biting my lower lip... He pulled my chair closer and slowly trailed his fingers under my dress exploring what was hidden by that white dress, what he wasn't expecting was I wasn't wearing any underwear... "Fuck ...... baby no underwear" he gave me a look that told me he wanted me just as much as I wanted him. Then he played with his thumb slowly rubbing my wet pussy....then went to the most dangerous part and rubbed it ....the more I wanted the more he played with my feelings ....rubbing it and stopping giving me half kisses, biting my lower lip... He didn't prepare me... One finger then two than three...He had fun and took his time showing me why his fingers were magic fingers ... He got rougher and went in deeper, I tried to suppress the moan but it came out louder than I had anticipated as my body received a million feelings giving me the quivers... "Fuck" is all I could say when everyone turned and looked at us with disgust... 💫 I do not own the pictures I use 🤞🏽 ⚠️ WARNING this book has drug abuse, sexual content, violence, and mature language.
