Silence hung in the air, the distant hum of passing cars and crickets fading into the night. "Cause I have every intention of making you my wife, the mother of my kids, my everything. I want that. I want you. Understand?" Her eyes welled up, and her lips trembled as she swallowed hard, then nodded quickly, "I want that too." "That's what I thought, baby." ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ Cerise Rowan liked to keep things simple. Her days were a steady loop of sleep, eat, study, repeat. She told herself she valued comfort, though in truth, change terrified her. With change came anxiety, and her mind, already a delicate balance, struggled to cope.

Now, he's learning what it means to have goals, to want more, and to keep what's important to him close. So what happens when he walks into his parlor and is greeted by a new face? A very pretty face. One that stirs desires he didn't even know he had. Well, one taste of her is more than enough to set a few more goals.

Finley Oak's is ready to compete on her fourth season of the Challenge. With winning three times in a row, she's already been established as a threat, but having aligned with strong threats like CT, Johnny Bananas, and Wes doesn't exactly help. Follow her journey throughout the season. Disclaimer: I don't own the Challenge or any of the characters other than Finley, and the occasional mention of her husband, Lucas Marks. And she will being taking place of Jenny this season. This story contains strong language, and some strong descriptions. If you are not able to handle these, then I recommend you don't read it. Thanks. So, I might do a couple of prequels for this, I don't know, but since this season is on right now and I've been getting lots of ideas while watching the show I decided just to try this out. Wish me luck. Sorry the cover sucks. Didn't have much to work with.

I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!
