In the end, the journeys we take comprises of several things; a beginning, a middle, and an end. Sometimes we cannot even tell where one ends, and another begins...

Kathryne Taylor is a senior in high school, just an ordinary girl who, in the eyes of her peers, is really quite the unfavorable character. But that's through no fault of her own. You see, Kathryne has issues; most of them stemming from her adamant desire to avoid what she believes is total bull.

Adrian Black doesn't want to give two cents about what other people think, but he has to. After all, if he didn't, they might find out what he's hiding from everyone else, and that could be very bad for him indeed. It's not healthy to know a vampire after all. Even less so to be acquainted with a vampire noble, but they don't need to know that.

What do these two have to do with each other?

“Oi! Adrian, you done yet?” Kathryne yelled, banging her hand on the door. “You have muscles, don’t you?”

... “You stare at them all the time, don’t you?” I’d never understand why she was bothered when I caught her staring, but completely fine with me seeing her naked. Someone needed to get their priorities straight.

When she didn’t reply to my comment, I gathered that she’d probably walked away from the door. So I flung the door open, not anticipating that she might still be standing there, fuming. The door rebounded back slamming shut with a loud thunk. Though the noise might have been more Kathryne falling to the ground than the door.

“Kathryne, are you all right?!” Immediately rushing out of the toilet to make sure I hadn’t done any serious damage.

“Dumbass!” She snarled, glaring at me. “Do I look O.K.?!”

(Note: The Story is in Kathryne's Point of View at first)

A Jerkwad doesn't do anything but get on your nerves. They don't stop glaring. They don't smile if it's not mocking. They don't do anything but look hot and act like their name. That's why it's a sin To Kiss a JERKWAD. ××× TRISTAN PAYNE is a slut. There, I said it. This boy knew he looked good and he wanted you to know that he knows that you know how good he looks. It's not like I was paying close attention to him or anything, but I see him every single morning when he leaves at 6 AM to go for a jog in the woods. The path he takes into the trees went right through the garden which my bedroom was fortunate enough to overlook and the best part was, Tristan Payne always jogged shirtless. Actually, he did everything shirtless. Because he's a total slut. Around breakfast was the time he usually got done showering and he'd only have a towel draped over his dark hair and his shorts would hang off his hips in that way, drawing my gaze to his V line and it would take all my willpower to not drool right into my Cocoa puffs. Maybe I would've been less affected if I'd grown up with him and watched him go through that awkward stage of puberty where boys started looking like orangutans because their hands and arms were growing faster than their bodies, or maybe even the stage where their voices would go up and down in pitch like Mariah Carey's 2014 Rockerfeller performance. But suddenly gaining a stepbrother who looked like a mix of Andy Black and Jake Sully's Avatar was not good for my whoremones at all. I don't know when I started hearing the call of the loins, I don't know when I even started listening, but good God, I'd been enlightened and now that my eyes had been forced open, there wasn't a single doubt- I liked what I was seeing. ××× [⚠️ SMUT WARNING⚠️] MOST IMPRESSIVE RANKINGS : #1In ADHD #1 In BWWM #1 In Comedy #1 In Omega #1 In Funny #1 In Main Character #1 In Comedy Romance #1 Werewolf Romance #2 In Funniest #3 In Humor

He is left intoxicated and the only word that comes out of his system is 'Mine'. ~~~~~ I tugged at her arm, and she stumbled into my chest. She smelled strongly of delicious rich chocolates. I craved to taste every inch of her when she was just inches away. "You want me to prove you?" my words came out much rude. "Your actions already did..." Her eyes radiated anger. She swiftly twisted her arm around mine and gripped my wrist. Whoa- Her nails were digging into my skin, marking me. "Kinky much" I smirked watching her blood rushing to her cheeks as she was fuming red. Hot as fire. Hearing my comment she let go of my arm but caught me off guard as she pulled me closer by grabbing my tie. "And don't you bloody ever dare touch me like that!" Her tone was deadly cold, which rather turned me on more. I just couldn't hold my smug grin to which she shook her head in disbelief. Yanking my tie, she walked off. Oh, lord moon! "See you soon, my human mate" I mumbled on her back while watching her silhouette disappear in the crowd. ♦♦♦♦♦ #2 werewolf (9april'24) #2 billionaire (9april'2024) #1 humanmate (25nov'21) #1 obsessed (30dec'21) #1 hotalpha (17sept'22) #1 werewolflovestory (17sept'22) Cover by - aditi_ad

I stepped forward and asked, "Where do you want me?" It took me a second to realize what I just said. Shit! I placed a hand on my crimson face and muttered, "Get your head out of the gutter! You know what I meant." He laughed, his voice sounded hoarse and deep even when he's laughing. I peeked at him from the gap I made between my fingers. He was close. So close. He grabbed my hand and took me to the bed. Damn! It did sound sexy. His shirt was loose. Too large for me, and it hung on me like a cloth hung on a hanger. He sat on the bed, criss crossed and pulled me to him. ♡♡♡♡♡ The thing about love is... its unpredictable. Even when you don't want love, it just happens.

At 24 years old, Audrey is slowly achieving her dreams. A teacher, working in a challenging, rough-around-the-edges high school, every day is different. Even if it means that occasionally the sports shed burns down, or the police have to make an almost weekly appearance. Her best friend is also a teacher, the life of the party, and the best person to debrief over a glass of wine or three with. She had a handsome and hardworking boyfriend, and a cute little place to call her own. Always ready to play by the rules, Audrey is reliable and respectable, if not a bit boring. But when her life starts to go off the rails, she has some scary decisions to make. She opts to do something completely out of her comfort zone, and just see where it leads her. And to who... A love story about second chances. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ "How dare you! I wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole!" How was he getting under my skin so easily? "That's a pity. I have a ten foot pole I was so keen to show you. I bet I could change your mind." He was enjoying this way too much, and I wasn't going to hang around and let him taunt me any longer. I turned and started packing my things, silently fuming that he was getting off on making me angry. I felt him moving behind me as I worked, and suddenly he was behind me, whispering in my ear. "It would be so easy to unbutton these silly little shorts of yours... and just bend you over the table right now." My body stiffened and stood straight up, my cheeks now the colour of cherries. I stood still, barely breathing, as he traced a finger down my spine. Then it stopped. I heard him back away. And then the library door jolted shut, leaving me in silence again.

Storm, Meet Raine  by Oneinamillie

"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. Will Raine start to see the light in Carson and accept him? We'll see.

"Clementine..." his voice is gentle, as though he's reading my mind. He searches my eyes, concern seeps through his features. I swallow the lump in my throat. I don't like this display of affection. I can take care of myself, I don't need his or anyone's help. "I'm fine. I can take care of myself," my voice wavers towards the end, making me doubt myself. Can I? If he hadn't been there, I could be dead. He steps towards me and tucks a hair strand from my face behind my ear, eyes still locked on mine. A shiver runs down my spine at his touch, I'm completely captivated. He nods and caresses the side of my face. I subconsciously nuzzle my face into the palm of his hand, his touch spreads a surprising warmth across my entire body.
