We Dream at Midnight (Ember 2)
Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).

The Saint Jones [Completed]
A tough-love story, built by insecurities, gets stronger and more passionate in the midst of the ocean. Two different hearts, two different lives, but the same pain. --- Cher McBroom is a young woman with insecurities that goes over her own will. Life has crushed her bad, very bad. She was sadly a victim of a 'natural disaster', as she names it, and this disaster has led to other disasters in her life, creating a rift between her and her future. After years of torture, sadness, and being rejected by all who she thought were her 'friends', she decides to seize her baggage and her pain and embark on an adventure she has never experienced before She wants one thing, loneliness, but a first frail encounter with a young man makes her feel things differently. The mysterious man who wears sunglasses every time is what might be able to allow Cher to live a bit, at least, a tiny bit. Sether, on the other hand, is a young man who has his future in the fog. He doesn't care much about the world, he doesn't care about the women who approach him all the times, he doesn't care about the mockeries he receives regularly because of his hideous sunglasses, he doesn't mind, because he knows the pain, he knows it deeply. Both are solitary birds seeking a shoulder to lean on without even knowing it. They will meet, they will feel the same, they will probably fall passionately in love, but the secrets within them have the keys to their future together. --- Started: 14/11/19 Completed: 5/07/20 Hope you'll love this!

Olive Branch
Olive wanted something to happen, but she didn't really know what. One of Kit's hands released its grip on her hair, sliding instead to cup her face, his thumb resting on her chin just below her lips. "You've never kissed anyone, have you?" he asked lowly, and his voice sounded different. Gravelly. Darker, almost. She shook her head as much as she could in his grip, which wasn't much, but didn't dare look away from him. "No, but I..." she trailed off, feeling like saying 'but I want to' would make her sound too eager, too desperate. ** Olive is still grappling with the recent loss of her father, while also trying to navigate re-learning how to live after her brother was arrested for murder. Lacking a social life, self-confidence, and any semblance of normalcy, she returns to college. She hopes to keep her head down and stay under the radar, but soon discovers that getting noticed by the group of friends she always sits behind at lunch may not be a bad thing after all. Especially when one of them is tall, tattooed, and keeping secrets... Cover by @fuzziwrites
Mafia's curvaceous love.
Kaya Emerson has spent her entire life being made to feel like she's too much, too big, too emotional, too unlovable. Raised in a house of cruelty where her stepmother's venom runs deeper than blood, Kaya's only goal is to survive the day, shrink herself, and never be seen. Until she witnesses a man being murdered. And the killer turns to look at her. Cold. Dangerous. Beautiful in a way the devil himself would envy. 𝙉𝙞𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙨 𝙍𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙤 - mafia king, calculated killer, a man who turns bloodshed into an art. She runs. But he hunts. And when he finds her... he doesn't kill her. He keeps her. "You think I'll let you walk away, tesero? After you saw me at my worst? No. Now I need you to see me at my darkest... and still beg for more." Locked in his penthouse with secrets, diamonds, and demons, Kaya finds herself fighting not just for her freedom, but for her sanity. Because the man who should terrify her makes her feel seen. Wanted. Desired. Protected. Worshipped. Even as he drags her deeper into a world of violence and obsession. "I'll ruin you for anyone else, Kaya. They'll look at you, and you'll still be dripping with my name." He's possessive. Ruthless. Addicted to her curves. She's broken, insecure, and dangerously close to falling for her captor. And the scariest part? She's starting to like the way it feels to be his.

His thumb caressed the spot as her heartbeat quickened "See" his eyes met hers "I didn't even touch you yesterday, but you already have a bruise. What do you think will happen when I finally make you mine?" She gulped hard but refused to give up to a person who was practically a stranger to her "I'm not yours" she breathed out.
