When River crosses paths with a man who speaks to every hidden hunger inside her, their connection spirals into an all-consuming pull neither of them can resist-but is she Grayson's salvation... or his ruin? *** Everyone in River Avelle's hometown knows about Grayson Maddox-the troubled bad boy who almost killed another student in the middle of the school hallway. Those who look into Grayson's eyes only see pure fury and hatred. They all think he's beyond redemption, even Grayson himself. But not River. As the seemingly perfect good girl, River saw something more in those alluring grey eyes. Something worth holding onto. From the first time their eyes connect, both Grayson and River feel the intense, undeniable attraction between them...but neither of them understand what's pulling them together so fiercely. The closer they get and the more vulnerable they become, River has to wonder: is she saving Grayson from his darkness? Or is she just pulling him further into hers? *** He tips my head toward his with his index finger, keeping my eyes trained on him and driving me crazy with the primal look on his face. His grey eyes look heavy, filled with dark desire, and a shock runs up through my core. Everything around us disappears and all I can sense is him and the hardness pressing between my legs. "What are you doing to me, River?" he whispers, his voice raspy and utterly captivated. His face is lowering and I'm closing my eyes, waiting for soft lips to press against mine. My whole body is on fire as I hold my breath for his touch. *** Cover by @strayin

THIS STORY IS DISCONTINUED AND BEING REWRITTEN. You can still read it lol but don't expect any updates to this version. "Kai. Good to see you again." She smiled at him. "Nya!! Now I get to beat you in school too!" Kai smirked back. Wu and Aspheera glanced at each other. They hoped they had made the right decision. A certain event has been on Lloyd's mind for quite some time-the Merge. In a world where special boys and girls go to different schools to become the heroes (or villains) of tomorrow, funding for Darkley's and Darkla's has dropped tremendously, and Headmasters Wu and Aspheera have to (with the advice of Cyrus Borg) resort to merging the schools. With both genders now forced to stay in one school, it can only go downhill. A battle of the sexes, hormones, and unfriendly competition, the boys and girls of now Ninjago Technical College must learn to get along, and hopefully gain a little compassion along the way. Class is in session, and you don't want to miss it. Aka, A Ninjago High School Au (I know so original!!!!) where everyone's worst enemy is probably the opposite gender. (No, there will not be any graphic smut scenes! A slight mention of attempted rape is involved, and intimacy will go as far as lime, or just implied. Everyone is about 17-19. (if not already one of the adults)) [🏅#1 in Llorumi - 7/27/24] [ #1 in Llorumi - 11/11/24]

"How's the marriage coming along...?" Lloyd looked away with a disappointed sigh, trying to dodge Kai's gaze by staring at the floor. "I haven't even found a ring. Not a wedding, nor an engagement." He put his hand to his face. "I gotta be the worst boyfriend ever." It's been a few months since the two have moved into their new house, and life has changed more than ever. Harumi is now the CEO of her father's company, and Lloyd feels as if he's falling behind. He can't even propose right, but does he even deserve to? Harumi wants nothing more but to ask Lloyd to start a family, but it's near impossible with their schedules and her fear of Lloyd rejecting it. To solve both their dilemmas, Lloyd looks for a new job, and with a suggestion from Skylor, the two foster an interesting pair of children. Arin, a boy who lost his parents and was given away at a very young age, and Sora, a girl who ran away from home after years of neglect and abuse. Almost spitting images of the two. Now they have to handle the struggles that come with the future, and help the kids out of the same situations they were once in. (Credits to @Adslank and @nanabmz24 on Twitter!)
