We walk into the conference room, and i feel the room oozing with male testosterone, as i join the six men already in their seats. I walk with Silas to a couple of empty chairs, and make myself comfortable. Then two more people walk into the room after us, and it appears it's who everyone was waiting for, because the room instantly quiets down. I look more closely at them and my heart nearly beats out of my chest, when i recognize one of them.....Marco. I have to do a double take, just to make sure I am seeing right, and this time.....our eyes make eye contact as he sits down, and I swear, I see his lips twitch a little. My mouth goes dry, and my ears start ringing. It's him again! Fate is clearly playing a dirty little game with me. Suddenly, it feels like the room is shrinking in size, and we are the only two people in here, because I swear, i can feel his gaze on me. But I choose to focus on the tablet on the table reflecting the agenda instead, and the someone starts updating the information, as the meeting progresses. "Marco, what do you think?" someone asks, and interested, i follow everyone's line of sight to him. Suddenly it dawns on me. I look down at the screen again, and swipe to the list of attendees, and read his name in full. Marco Bishop. Wait, 'Marco Bishop?' as in 'Bishop', the name that is displayed in bold letters on the front of this multi story building? I look up and find that he is no longer talking, but looking at me with a satisfied and proud look on his face, as if he can read my mind. Shit! ***** Marco Bishop is the youngest of the Bishop brothers, he is wealthy and privileged, and maybe a bit too impulsive for his own good. For Antonella, there is no place for a man like Marco, and everything he represents, in her life. ..but after a chance meeting one winter night on a building rooftop, Can either one of them really walk away.

‼️ She doesn't do jocks. ❌ He doesn't do second chances. Pixie Duval is a freshman at SDSU with one rule: no athletes. She broke it once. One summer. One basketball player. Sweet where he should've been arrogant. Gentle where he had no business being. Then she vanished without a word. Now she's been assigned as social media assistant for the men's basketball team. Practices. Games. Road trips. Content days. And Theo Lawson. He's not that boy anymore. He's SDSU's star shooting guard-six-two of cold confidence and earned cruelty. He won't look at her. Won't say her name. But he plays harder when she's watching. Hits meaner when she's courtside. She thinks he's moved on. He needs her to believe that. She hates that he's hotter than she remembered. He hates that she still gets under his skin. Because underneath all that cold-he's still the boy whose heart she shattered. And he'll burn this whole season down before he lets her see it. One summer. Two years of silence. One basketball season that's about to destroy what's left.

She likes fashion, dating, not being on time and getting what she wants - until she meets Sean, who is like the clock striking midnight; he erases all her magic power. He is as mature and sophisticated as the dark roasted coffee he drinks, while she is like a lollipop: colorful, dazzling on the outside but empty calories and artificial sweeteners on the inside. The attraction is instant, but getting a kiss is only the first step. To keep their fire burning, they must accept each other's differences and decide if what they're building is strong enough to survive trials, jealousy, expectations, and the fear of becoming someone they no longer recognize.

Completed • First Draft - not edited. || "You gonna sit there all night?" Luka glances at me, smirking. I glare back. "I was enjoying the last few seconds of peace before having to spend an evening pretending to like you." "That's funny," he says, unbuckling his seatbelt. "Why?" I snap. "Because I was thinking the same thing." || The rules? Easy enough. 1. Pretend to be the perfect couple. 2. Keep it professional. 3. And whatever you do, don't. catch. feelings. Simple, right? Sofia Calloway never planned on going viral for throwing a drink in Luka Mikhaylov's face. But one video, one pissed-off hockey star, and one furious university later... she's suddenly stuck in a fake relationship with the guy she can't stand. He needs to clean up his image before the NHL draft. She needs the free tuition that comes with the deal. All they have to do is smile for the cameras, hold hands at the games, and act like they don't want to strangle each other. Then come the late-night arguments that last too long. The stolen glances that feel too dangerous. The moment where "pretend" starts looking way too real. Because when you break the rules, someone's bound to lose. And this time, it might be both of them.

Mia Cherie X Aaron Valentino I gasp into his mouth, my hands fisting in his soaked shirt, pulling him closer, needing him closer and needing to feel every inch of him against me. His tongue sweeps into my mouth, and I moan, my knees going weak. But he doesn't let me fall. His arms wrap around my waist, holding me up, grounding me, anchoring me to him. The rain pours down around us, but all I feel is heat, his body pressed against mine and his hands in my hair, on my back, everywhere. When he finally pulls back, we're both panting, our foreheads pressed together. "You're mine" he murmurs, his voice rough and possessive. "Say it." "I'm yours" I whisper. "Say it again." "I'm yours, Aaron." Tropes: Badboy x Goodgirl Rich mmc x scholarship student fmc Kill anyone who touches her (literally) 👀 HEA
