In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was. Meet Vaughn Cooper, his best friend. The guy is the epitome of every girl's dream. Godlike handsome. The quarterback. He's got the looks, and he's got the brain. Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school. How could a guy who worked that hard and deserves nothing more but adoration be labeled as a bad boy? Yeah, the answer is simple. The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as I stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, MY nightmare. Calm down, heart.

She's been one of us. But when on New Year's Eve, she brings along a stranger. A stranger she's been preaching to us, for years. I finally get to meet her. Zara Lincoln. Penelope's dear baby sister. Off-limits. Like a moth to a flame, I crave her honey rose and vanilla scent. That Stygian black hair flowing behind her, those feminine curves, big-ass thighs. So fragile, breakable and shackled by the cuffs of her protective family. Too bad, they introduced the precious princess to the big bad wolf. Poor Zara. THE RELUCTANT MUSE - 𝗭𝗔𝗥𝗔 --- I've always been insecure of myself, for years. Being the youngest in the family, protected by everyone and having a wall of people surrounding me. Recently lost weight and still carry all my curves, so when I was invited to my sister's friend's New Year party - I was sweating. There I met him, the dark and brooding presence. Val Lawrence. I wish I would've declined and sat at home binging on Netflix that night. He's always so towering and huge. He's built like a building, which adds to the menacing persona. Always watched me, rarely talked and his heated eyes set me up on fire. They all warned me to stay away, but what could I do? None of them saw anything. He made sure I was the only witness to his wrath and cruelty. Only me. ---- More chapters coming soon. This story is a work of pure fiction and no copyright claims.
