"Grace-" he whispers, his voice a caress that sends shivers down my spine.
"Don't," I warn, taking a step back. "Don't say my name like that."
"Why not?"
"It's taking everything in me just to be in the same room as you. Please don't make this harder than it has to be," I whisper. "I'm his now."
"Hmmm," he murmurs, stepping dangerously close. "Then why are you here?"

When these two connect, as if they were set on the same path, light creeps in through the cracks, and for or a moment, the tunnel seems to have a way out, but what if it collapses before they make it? - "You saved my life." The words come out as a whisper, I've been dying to say that. I thank god every day that he came into my life when he did. "Fuck Vivian, you don't know how much I needed you." I tear up just a little as he speaks, I don't know the last time I cried happy tears. I bring my hands up to cup his cheeks, resting my forehead against his. "No matter how much I push, I don't mean it. Please don't give up on me." My words seem to relieve him in some way as I feel his shoulders relax. "Even when I'm gone, I'll be by your side, forever." He brings his hand, sticking his pinky out. "pinky promise."I wrap mine around his, placing a kiss on his lips. Warning before you read!! This is my first book!

[Book 3] With him, she loses control. With her, he finds it.💜 ************* Becca Chen did not trust people. She did not rely on them. She did not fall for them. And she definitely did not let anyone close enough to hurt her. Lewis Reynolds tested every single one of those rules. The guy with the smug face and lazy grin had made it his personal mission to get under her skin. He called her Princess. He treated life like one big joke. And somehow, without permission, he was stealing her heart. She should hate him. She told herself she did. But hate was not supposed to feel like this. It was not supposed to spark every time he stood too close. It was not supposed to burn like fire when they fought. And it was definitely not supposed to leave her wanting him even when she swore she felt nothing at all. Lewis knew he should leave her alone. Becca was prickly, stubborn, and impossible. Yet he found himself addicted. Addicted to her sharp eye rolls, to the fire in her voice, and to the way every argument felt like foreplay. Becca Chen was chaos wrapped in sharp edges. Lewis was helpless against the pull. He had sworn he would keep things light. With her, light had never been enough.Complete

Love in any order
One day, my whole life got flipped upside down-all over one tiny little thing. It was December. I remember it perfectly. Well, mostly... After that, I wasn't just that weird, lonely student anymore. No longer that nerd hiding out in her own bubble, where science was the only thing that made life worth it, and the only source of genuine affection came from a childhood friend. Just like that, I became one of the hottest names on campus, with all the glory and the shadows that came with it. And I owe it all to one person. Calum Hughes. Rich kid, totally obsessed with racehorses, who promised me the moon and made the stars seem within my reach-even though I was just some regular girl from Louisville, Kentucky. I fell for him, hard. He was magnetic, pulled me in without even trying, swept me off my feet, and I thought for sure I'd hit the jackpot, just like my dad was telling me. Then, overnight, Calum flipped the script on me too. He shut me out, treated me like I was nothing. Turned out, I hadn't bet on the right horse, no matter what my mom believed. But I was stuck to him, chained. I couldn't leave, so I had no choice but to endure his two-faced games Since he crashed into my world, I've hit rock bottom more times than I can count. Yet, weirdly enough, he's the one who's always pulled me back up too. Now, I've got the chance to shake everything up again-but I'm not even sure I want to anymore. My name is Rhiannon Carter, and this is my story.
Worth the Risk
August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))Complete
