Fay is a secretary in a scientific research facility. To everyone around her, she's forgettable. But behind her silence is a perception sharper than the systems she serves... and far more dangerous than anyone realizes. Sirius is an alien kept behind reinforced glass, studied like an anomaly and treated like a threat. He doesn't speak. He doesn't cooperate. Not until her. And he will tear through every sealed door, every armed guard, every rule of human science just to make sure she stays his.

Some flowers are never meant to be touched. ‎‎Like the wild ones, the kind that grow beautifully in places they shouldn't survive. ‎ ‎People stare at with desire, before warning others not to go near it. ‎ ‎She was that kind of flower. Beautiful enough to tempt, dangerous enough to ruin. ‎And I made the mistake of wanting her anyways. At first, it was harmless fixation. ‎A lingering glance. A fascination buried beneath silence and restraint. ‎ ‎But forbidden things have a cruel way of growing. The more you tried to look away, the deeper the roots spread beneath your skin. ‎ ‎Until wanting became longing, longing became hunger. And hunger became something far more unacceptable. ‎ ‎An obsession. ‎ ‎A terrifying kind that follows you everywhere, the kind that turns patience into madness and devotion into your destruction. ‎ ‎Once you've tasted the beauty of something you were never supposed to have. ‎ ‎How do you stop wanting it? ‎ ‎How do you escape it... ‎ ‎When it has already consumed you whole? ‎

****warning: contains mature themes and vivid sexual descriptions**** Asha Daniels learns that she's in love with her best friend, Colton Whitman, who just doesn't see her in that way. Or so we think.

My best friend Greyson McNamara and I have been partners in crime for a while now. Pranks, sneaking out to go to parties, joy riding in our parents' cars, all that crazy teen stuff, we made a pact to do together. And surprise surprise, dating each other was never on that list. I mean it's not like Grey is a bad looking guy or anything. Wink wink. Now back to that no dating thing. For years, we heard about how we would be a cute couple and how we are perfect for each other. Of course, we always laughed it off until one day we didn't. Our senior year has ended with two back to back breakups and all we can think is that we have nothing to lose. That includes us thinking that it can't hurt to try to date each other for the summer before college. We made a promise to each other that we'll stay friends no matter what. Like I said we have nothing to lose. But what if I'm wrong?

"We share a fucking bed!" He follows me out of the bathroom, grabbing my wrist when I had turned my back to him. "What's fucking wrong with you now? You threw a bitch fit when you were at the hospital, and now when I compliment you, you're mad at me." "Maybe you shouldn't give compliments with the hope of getting me on your dick!" I snatch my wrist back, turning around to face him, but I smacked into his chest. He took that as an opportunity to grab both of my arms and hold them together behind me. "If I wasn't raised better, I'd spit on you." "And if I wasn't raised better, I'd kick your motherfucking teeth out," he gritted, shaking me when I struggled in his hold. "Would you stop!" He raised his voice, causing my insides to quiver, and my limbs stopped moving. "What is your problem?" "I'm not one of them," I spit angrily, "You can't make me look stupid before charming me. If you think you have to force yourself to compliment me in order for me to spread my legs, then you don't know me," I breathed harshly, my chest brushing against his body, and momentarily, his eyes flickered downward. "I'm offended. You think I'm trying to 'charm' you," he uses air quotations before slamming me against the wall right next to the bed, "When all I have to do is wink to get you to flood your underwear." "I'd like to see you try." I grind out, causing him to smirk at me. A different one this time. One that unsettled me. His lips curved up nicely, yes, but his eyes weren't sparkling with mischief. He didn't seem too happy with me calling him out the way I did. "Bet," he inhaled sharply before backing away from me, his smirk lifting higher, and it morphed into a beautiful smile. "See you at practice, bitch." Carson 'Storm' Speros and Raine Carter have a long way to go, battling through the abnormalities of their unique college and the tough time sharing a baseball team.
