Cali and Chance have been best friends since the sandbox. She was always the bookworm, introverted friend that calmed his extroverted, charming ways. Cali's love for Chance bloomed from that friendship into romantic interest, even though she knows that he will never settle down and has never so much as had a girlfriend. She is sure that Chance is the one, she just cant seem to get him to see that. Especially when he suddenly decides to stop being a play boy and settles down with her roommate. Chance has loved Cali since before she even agreed to be his friend. She is his home, his safe place. The one that has accepted and protected him no matter what. When he starts to see her outside of their normal stomping grounds, and notices other guys noticing her, he starts to feel more than that old male friend guardian jealousy. He starts to want more from her than their normal hugs and banter. And that upsets him. He cant risk losing Cali just because he cant keep dirty thoughts of her out of his head. Can she get him to see her? Can he stop watching her? And when it's all said and done, will they still be Best Friends?

My best friend had one specific rule for her wedding week: 𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐝. It should have been easy. I'm here to be a bridesmaid, not a distraction. Then I met Caleb Calhoun. He's forty-four, runs the biggest ranch in Montana, and looks at me like I'm a natural disaster waiting to happen. He values order, discipline, and respect. I drive a rusted El Camino, drink cheap beer, and thrive on chaos. He thinks I'm just a reckless twenty-one-year-old with nothing to offer but trouble. So, naturally, I decide to be his trouble. I push every button he has. I call him 'Daddy' because I know he hates it-and because I know it makes him think things he definitely shouldn't. To top it off? I flirt with his son just to watch his jaw tick...until his son starts flirting back. His son Benny is freshly back from war, dangerously charming, and looks at me like I'm the first thing he's wanted in years. And the more I provoke the grumpy rancher, the more I realize this isn't a game. Benny wants to keep me. Caleb wants to tame me. And for the first time in my life, I might actually want to be 𝐰𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐝

Settling into the quaint, quiet neighborhood was supposed to be easy. Especially since her best friend Mia, lived just around the corner. Her plan was to introduce herself to her neighbors and build a friendly rapport with all of them. However, when she meets Noah McCarthy, she's flabbergasted by her (unconventionally) handsome neighbors crude attitude. He's a bad boy; there's no doubt about it. He's filled with tats, loves bikes, and has a complete disregard for societal norms and others feelings. This leads to a never ending feud between the two neighbors. The last thing Alicia will tolerate is disrespect! Eventually, lines begin to blur and these two enemies can't help but notice how attracted they are to one another despite the hatred they harbor and the differences in their personalities. Follow along the journey with Alicia and Noah as they navigate through their hatred, confusion, and their eventual love for one another.

I have rewritten small bits, added words, removed words, etc, because I think it would flow better (and FF.net doesn't make it so easy to edit old fics w/o re-uploading them).

Blind to his relentless gaze, Ciauna moves through her day, unaware of the noose tightening around her. It only took one glance-just one-for Obeye to decide she would be his. From that moment, he watched from the shadows, his patience unnervingly steady, biding his time and savoring the anticipation before he struck. By the time Ciauna feels the shift in the air, a chilling prickle at the back of her neck, it's far too late. He has her now, ensnared in his grip, forced to bend to his every dark whim-no escape, no turning back. But the worst part? A small, unyielding part of her doesn't want to resist him at all. ________________ As I reached the edge of his desk, his hands gripped my hips, the sudden contact making me gasp. His touch was firm, almost painful, as he spun me around to face the floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the city. "Look out there," he said, his breath hot against my ear. "See all of that?" I nodded, my eyes blurring with unshed tears as I took in the twinkling lights of the cityscape. "That's your world," he whispered, his grip tightening. "And I control it. Now, bend over the desk." 📚 Now Available on Amazon This story is officially published. You can now read the full, edited version on Amazon Kindle. (Link in bio)
