"We can't do this." I whisper as our lips re-connect, a tingling fire surging through my body as his hands ravage unexplored lands; my innocence dissipating away with every peck he trails down my neck. "I know we can't. That's why it's so exciting." He replies through kisses. His effortless charm intoxicates me; drowning me; hunting me; devouring me. "What if my brother finds out?" The perpetuated patter of the rain unable to subdue my groan as he digs his nails deeper into my skin. "Who cares." ********** Welcome to my story, where an innocent boy finds a not so innocent boy in his bed; where they do not so innocent things. - YOP

"So you really don't talk Little Miss Mute?" There was a thud as Noah Karters fell to the floor clutching his nose. I looked down at my balled fist, my senses slowly returning, and I bolted through the halls, pushing through multiple onlookers. Then, I decided to turn around, only to see Jadia Fryer crouching down beside him, fanning all over his face, but his steel gray gaze was burning straight into me. I glared and spoke with as much menace then I've ever spoken to anyone. "Never call me mute." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ladley Lynn Ciders has an intricate past and has learnt over time how to build walls and just how many people you should let in. One person she didn't expect to have to let in would be Noah Joseph Karters, Stratton Guarder High's infamous bad boy. But before you click read or scroll past, you should know something.
