Lexi Taylor interests me like no woman has in years. Unfortunately, she's not interested in being more than friends. Very well then, I'll be the best damn friend she's ever had. The more I get to know Lexi, the more I'm convinced an adventurous passionate woman lies beneath her quiet placid exterior. Breaking through her fears and doubts, and convincing her that she doesn't have to watch the world pass her by, might be the hardest thing I've ever done. Just as she starts to trust me, demons from my own past come back to haunt us both. Caught between two people I care about, I make the wrong choice. I realized too late that in trying to hold on to the past, I might have lost the only future I want. Now I face my hardest task ever, convincing her that I don't just want to be her friend but that she's the only one for me.

Finding out we were going to be parents was supposed to be the happiest time of our lives. Instead, I feel my husband, Ethan, drifting away from me a little more every day. He's late coming home from work, he disappears for long periods of time, he's irritable and closed off, and nothing I say or do seems to reach him. As tensions between us mount, I'm discovering parts of my husband's past that I never knew existed. And when everything comes tumbling down, I'm forced to ask myself: how well do I really know the man I love?

Sang's storybook happy ending is just within her grasp. Now that everyone involved with the distribution of JH-14 and the whole money laundering scheme is sitting -not so pretty- in jail, Sang can finally concentrate on becoming a full Academy member. Her opportunity to prove herself comes when her boys get called in to help a team out in California for the next week. Sang just has to endure one week without them. One full week of her figuring out her own problems without the boys trying to jump in to save her. But no one predicted JH-14 to be massed produced with horrible adjustments to its chemical makeup. People always assume a zombie apocalypse would be created by Mother Nature. Not by people. Now Sang has to team up with a very unusual group of people to be able to stay alive long enough for her boys to find her. ** This story is a FanFic of The Academy Series, and I DO NOT own any of the main characters. They belong to the amazing CL Stone, but I have put a lot of my own creativity within her original story. So please be kind and ask if you want to use any ideas from the Crazies Series.**

"You don't look guilty," he murmurs, stepping in close. "That's because I'm not," I whisper back. His fingers brush my jaw, too rough to be kind. "No. You're worse than guilty." "Then what am I?" He smiles, cruel and gorgeous. "Unrepentant. And I like that. I want to see what it takes to make you beg for forgiveness." I smile back, just as cruel. "You'll die waiting." ----------------------------- Four boys. One lie. No forgiveness. I lied on the stand. Not by mistake. Not under pressure. I did it on purpose, and I did it for something I wanted more than justice. A billionaire went to prison. The world moved on. I disappeared. Now I'm back. Enrolled at the same elite university his son and his best friends attend. I thought I could stay quiet. I thought if I kept my head down, the past would stay buried. I was wrong. They remember me. They know what I did. And they want revenge served cold, cruel, and up close. So they drag me into their world of power, privilege, and manipulation. They move me into their house. Watch me. Corner me. Study me like I'm just another secret to uncover. But I've kept darker things hidden than they can imagine. And the more they try to break me, the more they start to fracture. Because obsession works both ways. And none of us are walking away clean. A dark, slow-burn reverse harem where enemies blur into lovers and lies are foreplay. No MM. No forgiveness. Just control, chaos, and the girl who never planned to survive, only to win.

Life Lesson #1: If you are planning on going to a nightclub in the middle of sketchy, dark woods, don't. Life Lesson #2: If there are too many attractive, healthy people in said nightclub, be alarmed and rethink Life Lesson #1. Life Lesson #3: If you were foolish enough to ignore rules 1 and 2, I suggest you haul ass. Aeress is one of those special people who obviously need a couple more life lessons... ----------------------------------------------------------------- He chuckled. It was dry but it was an addictive sound. "No," he brought his nose against her collar, "not at all." His lips skimmed over her exposed skin. She sighed at his touch, riding the sweet, overwhelming waves that came with. "You've barely touched me," Aeress had her hands skimming up the back of his neck and in between his strands. "And I'm falling apart." His voice was a little hollow and this worried her. "The bond we have is responsible for that." She tugged at him until he looked up. For a moment she just basked in how handsome he was. "I don't think so," she leaned in for a kiss, "I think that you are just about the most fascinating man I have ever met. And we have only just met. I don't think a bond can simply erase the will of an independent woman like me." His eyes came to life with a blazing fire. He closed the distance between them and kissed sensation back into her body, setting off every nerve in her flesh. Everything came to a boiling point, sizzling with need. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ °°MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT OF ALL KINDS, AND I MEAN ALL KINDS°° Highest Rank: #7 in Werewolf, #79 in Romance
