"You're mine and only mine." I swallowed hard. "Well, what if I had a teeny tiny crush on someone?" He slammed his hand on the table beside him, smashing his fingers through it. His hands were now covered in splinters and fresh blood. "That looked like it hurt. Do you want me to get the first aid kit?" "No." He rumbled. "Who is he? Tell me who has your heart." Lennon has been best friends with Rocky Tyler for years. Then a new guy who goes by the name Ash Sierra comes in, threatening to destroy their lifelong friendship.

When stickball champion, Slade Locklear, is denied financial help from his college to take his team to the World Series Stickball Games, he must ask his reluctant ex-best friend, Makaiyah Henderson, to help him fundraise enough money to go to the championship. *** Slade Locklear is Oklahoma's reigning stickball champion, and his team is closer than ever to competing in the World Series Stickball Games. There's just one problem-without funding, they're not going anywhere. After his college dean turns him down, Slade is forced to seek help from the one person he never thought he'd have to face again. Makaiyah Henderson. His childhood best friend. Makaiyah has always carried the weight of the world on her shoulders. Brilliant, driven, and fiercely protective of her Afro-Indigenous roots, she's dedicated her life to uplifting her community and fighting for representation in a world that never allowed for it. Helping a former stickball star who once broke her trust was never part of the plan. But when the opportunity arises to raise funds for the stickball team after her college denies them, Makaiyah agrees. Reluctantly. Through three fundraising events, Slade and Makaiyah are forced back into each other's lives. Working side by side reignites more than old memories, but unresolved wounds don't disappear just because feelings resurface. As the championship draws closer and the pressure mounts, they'll have to decide whether they can rebuild what was broken between them, or let the truth about their past cost them everything they've worked for.

Imani King, daughter to the man everyone knows on the streets as 'Low', is a force to be reckoned with. Raised by an independent mother, her father an enforcer of morals and loyalty, and her heart stacked high in a fortress. Her parents made the effort to show her what a real man is, what real love is, and she knew better, but then she met him and she didn't like how she felt. *-* Excerpt: His hand grips the door, knuckles flushing into a stark white, "Keep fuckin' playin' with me, Mani," but dare he threaten to step closer, they'd both do things they would have to take to their grave. *-* Disclaimer & Warning: There will be acts of violence and sexual themes, so mature audience recommended and this is likely the only warning. Also, 'BLEEP' is censoring for a word that I cannot use, but it's suited for the characters of the story. Nothing in this is real, not the places nor names, so it's purely made up-enjoy! *-* Milestones: 🥇in Messy on 02/23/26.

▪️FANTASY ROMANCE▪️ "I didn't know that I had the right to say your name." "You don't and yet..." The Orc King's words trailed off, his breath coming out in a rough pant. I found myself extremely curious about what he was going to say, so I bravely tried to get him to continue. "And yet?" I probed. "And yet, I find myself intrigued about what it would sound like coming from that insolent mouth of yours." **** Izara was not very happy to find out that she was to be sent to the Orc King as tribute, an apology for something her brother did. Not being one to allow fate to dictate her life, she figured that she could make the most of it. Having always been curious about the Orcs, she is eager to live among them. King Baldur, however, does not share her enthusiasm, finding humans to be selfish and untrustworthy. He does not hold back, and uses every available opportunity to remind her of such. Unfortunately for him, Izara sees this as a challenge and vows to prove her worth. When an incident in the forest leaves King Baldur seriously injured, he quickly realises that he misjudged Izara and even finds himself becoming attracted to her in ways that he never anticipated. There is only one problem though, the Orc King isn't called Baldur the Butcher for nothing. Can he find it in himself to lower his guard around Izara or will she become the next victim of his blade? 🔅Rated R: Contains thematic issues, adult language, MATURE sexual content, violence and possible triggers. ------------------------------------------------- Cover Photo: Edited by @KimberlyTanithMarie using an image generated from Midjourney © All rights reserved 2023 I DO NOT consent to my story being translated, copied or otherwise reproduced by anyone.
