There's also the issue of timelines that don't add up and wrong names. I'm currently editing it in a new document. I hope it will be better. FP: 2017 C:2019

"Why do you feel the need to disobey me?" His voice made the entire room freeze over. There was a fire burning in the corner, but I had goosebumps over my dark skin. "I don't know." "That's not a good answer. You almost died tonight because you're stubborn." "I told you I'm a hand full." With one swift movement he was up and I was pinned against his wall. The pit in my stomach was feeling up with hot, wet desire and I bit my bottom lip. "You will learn that I am not a toy and you will not play with me. You will learn to respect and obey me. And if you don't, you will suffer." He disappeared out of the room and left me with only the fire and books to occupy the rest of my evening. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I let him in; I gave into my urges and loved him in every complete shape and form. His blonde locks as I ran my hands through them, his mesmerizing blue eyes that I couldn't resist and his adorning smirk. He captured my heart within, but I did what I thought I had to do. And I continued what I thought I wanted. I thought I knew, but I realized that it was always him. I let her in; even after the fucked up shit we've been through, she managed to put up with it all. Her beautiful skin and brown eyes couldn't keep me away. I could not stand not making her ignite with fury. I could not stand not being around her. I couldn't see her cry either. I thought I knew her, every inch of her, and maybe I did. But what I was sure about, that I was going to see her again. We would be together and I would not let her slip through my fingers again. "I look at her, the woman that my heart skips a beat for. The woman that I've fell in love with every single day. The woman that I've been through hell and back with. She's everything I want and absolutely need. I give myself to her completely. Whatever she wanted, I will gladly provide, because she has my heart in her hands." Continue on the heartfelt journey of the two characters you adore and want to shake some sense into all over again. Be sucked in by their love and life no one has ever known before. And be consumed by the past, present, and future of Nia Gardson and Aiden Thomas.

Have you completely tore up a room looking for something just for it to be under you the whole time. That was Lucas, he was always right under my nose but under the radar enough for me to never notice. He was a quiet storm, silent and deadly. ~~~~~
