*Story Excerpt* My back is pressed against the wall, his face just mere inches from mine while his hands are planted on the wall above my head. A grin so devilish that it would make Satan scared, appears on his face. "I think you're lying to me" he mutters "What makes you think that?" I choke out He cocks his head to the side a little "Your pupils are dilated, you can't look me in the eyes, and I can see the slightest dew on your forehead from the sweat you've started to accumulate" he says, his eyes studying my reactions I continue to avoid eye contact, struggling to find a response and before I can muster a word out, he frazzles me again. His hand travels down the wall to my cheek and he tucks my hair behind my ear before lifting my chin with his finger, so I have no choice but to lock eyes with him. My breathing is quickened, my heart rate increases. "I think you'd like to see just how loud I can make you scream in a matter of minutes" he says with a low and hungry tone I'm in deep trouble. ______________________________________ 23-year-old Evelyn has never been one to interact with her neighbors but that changes when 24-year-old Jay moves just across the hall from her.

A night of drinking. A one night stand. An agreement. All things which two sworn enemies should never do together, and yet neither can get enough. ** Alexander and Kelsie have been at war since they were kids. They'd never gotten along, and the thought of being intimate with the other was sickening. But one night that ends in a hookup proves to change everything as the pair now find themselves sneaking into broom closets and spending nights in each other's beds. There's only one catch to their newfound agreement - not to fall in love. From their lack of positive feelings, it seemed pretty easy. And yet, the more they touch, the more impossible it seems.

Mavis Spencer was rude, mean and so infuriating but yet so damn tempting. I should have left her alone, but like she says I am an idiot. She just walked into my life and ravaged it like a tornado. With no shame or guilt, just no care at all. Or that's what I thought until I got to know the real her. She is so much more than what she shows, complicated but worth the fight. I'm determined to prove her how worth it, she is. June Moraine was too nice, too happy, too friendly to be true. He should have left me alone, I'm not someone to befriend and surely not to love, I've learned that the hard way. But even as I tried my hardest to push him away, he seemed to have made his mission to prove me how wrong I am. *** "Tell me what you like?" Grabbing a handful of his hair and tilted it so I could look at him. I kept dry humping on him, and I felt myself coming closer and closer. It usually takes so much time to build me up, but this sight of him feels like a daydream. His eyebrows knitted together and his lips parted slightly as I pushed myself harder on him. "I asked you a question, June." his hooded eyes finally focus on me and he hums, "You. I like whatever you do to me."

"I will ruin you baby," he whispers digging his nails into my hips sending a chill cascading down my spine. "Then ruin me Jude, ruin me till there's nothing left of me." I spoke softly, "make me feel something, make me feel anything, make me feel alive..." ♫♫♫ Everybody loved her but her. Coraline Nkole was the dream girl living a nightmare.
