"But Carmen said-"I whined but then he shot me a funny look and I remain silent. I just broke one of Carmen's rules. The number one rule. Never tell Josh anything. How was she going to help me now?

"Carmen? Why are you talking to my ex?? Josh asked, looking confused.

I drop my head and stared at the floor. This was not going to end well. Might as well tell the whole truth now.

"She said she was only trying to help me," I explained, feeling disappointed. I close my eyes so I wouldn't have to see the look on his face. Can't I do anything right?

Josh set his hands gently around my chin and lifted my head up a bit. He was no longer sitting but standing in front of me. Looking at me with loving eyes. Why haven't I notice that before?

    "Iva, Iva Iva," Josh said with a chuckle. "There is so many reasons why I broke up with Carmen. I don't know what lies she told you but whatever she said isn't true. She's always been good at making people feel bad about themselves and using it to her advantage."

"Carmen has her ways that didn't exactly fit my type. She had the looks for it but not the personality."

I was sad for a moment to hear him say that but he would let me put my chin down just yet.

"But you Iva, you have everything. You have the looks and you're so innocent and cute and a wonderful person to be around and it makes me happy to be around you. Don't let anyone tell you any different. This is exactly how I feel about you."  He explained.

Seductive Revenge  от AayjayM
12 Части Текущие Для взрослых
Nia Black was an innocent girl who believed in the concept of love and even lived it, or so she thought. She believed that love was a wonderful thing when she met Zaine Velazquez, a 22 year old rich billionaire who showed her the love she never thought she could experience, much less from someone that was way out of her league. But that all came crashing down when her boyfriend and best friend betrayed her in the worst way possible. A few years later, Nia isn't the person she used to be. She has learnt to be strong, both physically and emotionally. She has learnt that people should never be trusted, that they'll only fuck you over with time. She has undergone trials worse than death and came out stronger than ever. And...She has set out on a mission, to destroy the two people who ruined her life. By taking away the reason her best friend betrayed her, Zaine, while also planning to shatter his heart in the process, like he shattered hers. She wasn't going to show any mercy, that word was ruled out of her books long ago. Destruction was engraved in their fates and she would stop at nothing to achieve her revenge. And there was no stopping her. *** I subtly trailed my foot up his leg and felt him stiffen. I smirked internally when I saw his reddened face from across the table. I was enjoying this tremendously, more so when I saw the look on Dana's face as she tried her hardest to grab his attention, which was solely focused on me. I kept trailing my foot higher and higher, enjoying the look of anticipation on his face despite his desperation to keep himself composed. As my foot made contact with his dick, I realized he was already hard. Before he could comprehend what was happening, I removed my foot and continued eating as if nothing ever happened. I cast my eyes across the table just in time to catch the flicker of disappointment on his face before it disappeared. I smirked internally. Game on, asshole. *** Disclaimer: Mature themes.

42 Части Завершенная история Для взрослых
I had fallen head over heels in love with Hera King. I couldn't sleep without her by my side so I hadn't had much sleep in days. I couldn't breath without seeing her smile. When she said yes to marrying me, I couldn't control my pounding heart and felt even more proud to be marrying such a perfect woman when she stood up for my love to her entire family. She proved to me that she was willing to love me and let me love her back. I didn't know if she loved me back but I knew that I loved her. Hera couldn't die. We still had to spend our forever together. She still had so much to know about me as much as I had to know about her. Hell, I still had to tell her that I binge-watched a lot of TV and Netflixed almost every weekend as a hobby. She had to know that my favourite movie was 'Pitch Perfect' and that my favourite show was 'Two and a half Men'. She had to know that I had never travelled outside of the country, even though I was one of the biggest businessmen in the world. She had to know that I had always had a dream for cooking and I tried to bake a cake once and I ended up burning the entire kitchen down. She had to know that my family was using her family to get into the Mafia and that I couldn't go on with the plan because I had fallen in love with her. She was my soulmate. My true love. The only person who I saw myself with in a few years. Not with her in this hospital bed but with her hand in mine as we travelled the world and made a child in each country. Hera was a sexy woman. A true beauty indeed. She was definitely well-figured and inherited a lot of enticing features which I just had to explore. Kissing her was only the beginning. The things I wanted to do to her behind closed doors were illegal in a lot of countries. The amount of skin I wanted to mark as mine and the amount of passion I wanted to pump into her innocent flower was unimaginable. She aroused me even from blinking.

(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right. Her and her best friend, Aviary, lived together in a cute little apartment off the central part of the city, yearning to create new memories and important moments. Amelia always lived for the moments, taking in every little detail and savoring it like it was her favorite meal. She was an optimist, hoping to change peoples lives with her dreams. James Vallette was a 34-year-old CEO, building his company from dirt with the help of his brother. He was a realist, not really having time to deal with dreams or even love. He knew this the night he laid eyes on Amelia. It was only casual; what harm could a one-night stand do? Oh yeah, he's her dad's boss.

They met for the right reasons but at the wrong time. She was just about to graduate from college, and he was already a successful CEO/Businessman who is ten years her senior. A city love like no other. Enter the world of Alecx and Tristan, brought together by fate, only to be separated by unexpected circumstances. Will there be a second chance for them when they meet again 9 years later? A story about chasing dreams, friendship and love.... "A love story that will make you swoon. Definitely a fun, entertaining and feel-good read. " - A Reader's Comment Excerpts: 1) I saw her hug one of the guys in that department and kissed him on the cheek. I don't really deal a lot with our employees. I am mostly either inside my office or in the boardroom conducting meetings, so I do not even know who this guy she is smitten with. Just seeing her do that caused a twinge of jealousy inside me. I barely know this girl and yet, she is making me feel something I have not felt before. 2) I gave him a dagger look and tried to get away from his hold, but he did not let me. Instead, he put both his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. Our faces are just inches away from each other. He was looking at me intently. My heart is beating so fast. I feel like I am going to melt from his gaze. "I am just messing with you. I am sorry. Forget about what I said. Just dance with me. For old time's sake." He smiled at me. I continued to look him straight in the eyes. "Why did I ever leave this amazing man in front of me?" I asked myself regretfully. I set aside all my inhibitions and placed both my arms around his neck. Even just for tonight, I will enjoy this moment. I rested my head on his shoulder and nuzzled my face on his neck. I hope we can stay like this forever.

Meanwhile, Carmen is quite the opposite and deals with trust and committment issues. Carmen wants to be there for Josh and help him, but she doesn't know how when she can't even figure herself out. And so a journey of confusion and heartbreak begins... *WARNING* There is some mature language in some parts of the story This isn't a full on happy romance story The storyline may be a little confusing/complicated, but was made like that on purpose Characters and events = a mix of fiction and non-fiction Here are a few snippets... *** I looked at him sideways. "So, um, what are we?" I had to ask. Josh seemed taken aback but still answered casually. "What do you mean? Friends. Like always." I nodded again. Mm-hm. So friends who kissed. Yup, got it. Pretty clearly. "Alright." We headed upstairs to our second floor math class. *** "Yeah, but..." Joshua's voice was suddenly very quiet. It made me feel bad. "Realistically Carmen, we haven't been acting as 'just friends.'" He got louder. "In fact, for the past week or so, I've been considering you to be my girlfriend." He paused. "Is that wrong of me?" I sighed inwardly. "No. It's just, I think-" I searched for my words. "I think we're better off where we started. As two people who like each other and vibe well, but without a title to complicate things." I couldn't figure out whether I was just saying this as an excuse not to be with him. My mind was jumbled. "No title makes things more complicated." *** Enjoy!
