Jasmine Green has been unlucky in love for as long as she can remember.  When she is dumped unceremoniously by text three years ago, she decides to only focus on friends, work, and law school.  While on her first girls' trip to Essence Fest, she bumps into Montana Keyes, a handsome, charming, NBA player with the Knicks.  There is instant chemistry between them and they enjoy a passion-filled weekend.  She is content to leave their weekend as a pleasant memory while he promises a future.  Although she finds herself drawn to him and wants to see what could happen, past hurts resurface.  Can she trust herself enough to take a chance on love?

Excerpt:
   Montana focused on my lips. "Like, I said, I'm in front of you right now."
  "Oh, so you trying to tell me you still want to be with me?" 
   "What do you think?" He leaned to kiss me slowly and the moment his lips touched mine I was lost in emotion and I welcomed his kiss. We kissed heavily for a while as the ocean continued to wave around us. Montana then began to use his tongue and had moved on top of me in between my legs. It was almost like we were naked since his pants were thin and I could feel his hard length directly against my center. I had both hands rubbing the back of his head enjoying the kiss and the passion he could evoke from me. He ran his hand up my bare thigh toward my apex and toyed with the edge of my thin fabric. Then reality dawned that soon he would be inside of me and I wouldn't be able to leave him again.
      I pushed him off of me before I succumbed to my need for him. "Please, stop. It's me and not you, okay? You have done nothing wrong but I can't do this. " 
    "Damn it, Jasmine!" He cursed in frustration. "Why are you such a coward?"
     I flinched at his anger and quickly got up and took off running in my bare feet back to my suite. I could hear his footsteps behind me and I only ran faster. I couldn't let him catch me...All Rights Reserved

Worth the Risk by KateRavenaw

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 :))

One night was all it took: Season one by brandon61386

**WARNING**18+ AND THERE WILL BE MANY SEASONS She meets the woman of her dreams...except she was never into women...until now. Love has no boundaries and this dirty lesbian romance proves that. Meet the group, and fall in love with this world of crazy excitement. One step at a time, I walk toward her. "He kissed me, and I kissed him back. But, in my mind, it was not him I was kissing. He tried hard to sleep with me. I pushed back and said no." My hands squeeze my keys to the point that I can feel the pain in my palm, but I ignore it. Shaking my head, I scoff again, growing angry and confused at the same time. I do not know what's happening to me. "I pushed back because all I could think of was you!" I say, wanting to scream at her. "You were the only person on my mind when I was with him. I felt gross and disgusted. But when he kissed me, I saw you and it turned me on. This wave of emotions pushes through me with every press of his lips, because...I saw you in my mind." My face is growing warmer, and I have to force myself to look away. My ears feel like they are on fire. I am grateful and confused at the same time. My mind seems twisted. I do not understand what is happening to me, or why these emotions are running through me. She looks at me like I am the crazy one. Her confused look grows. She steps down the two steps and walks toward me. "You are not lying? You truly left him and came home?" "Yes! Damn it!" My tone is loud and rude. Taking a deep breath, I close my eyes. I can feel that wild lust or love or whatever the hell you want to call it. It burns madly through me the closer I get to her. "What did you do to me, Natalia? I have always been able to walk into my house. Tonight, I could not because I was scared to go to my bedroom, because all I could picture was you and me in that damn bed. I'm not supposed to be like this! This is not...damn it!"

"How dare you!!" His stare and cold voice made me step back with fear scared of what he will do "You clumsy woman!! Keep those disgusting hands of yours steady or go die somewhere!! How dare you hurt her!! Do you even know who she is!!" "Alessandro..stop..it's alright.." Andrea pleaded from behind but he continued "Lowlives like you don't even deserve to step into a place like this bit we were generous to offer you this job....but You being an ungrateful brat couldn't do one thing right.......Hell you can't even walk properly how come you were hired for this job!!" Endless tears were flowing down my cheeks as he continued to reprimand me "Alessandro..please...stop" "No Andrea I will not stop..can't you see what she did.....You are too innocent and generous... you don't know girls like her.....they envy you and when they can't compete against you they engage in these dirty tactics .....bloody disgusting people...." I looked up into his eyes ....my eyes asking him if this is what he thought of me... I was never this low... How could he even think I did this deliberately! "Oh my god...your hand..." Andrea said looking at my hand I looked down to see my entire hand turned red with blisters everywhere. I felt numb earlier but now as I saw my wound I started feeling the suppressed pain I was controlling. My tears betrayed me not just because of his words but also from the pain of my burn. Andrea rushed towards me with a worried look on her face "Maria..bring ..the coolant hurry..we need to call the doctor.." She was something else So pure and caring My eyes lifted to see Ando He had a expression I couldn't decipher His eyes were fixed on my burn but I couldn't tell if he was worried or not. But soon that expression was gone as he turned around and left. I looked at his retreating back wondering since when did he become so heartless. Everything is fair in love and war And this my friends is a war of broken hearts. Also on Amazon #19 romance 12/9/2020

Touching Shadows by BronT86

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.

Contract Marriage: I've always loved you ✅ by mehaklovely

He fell in love with the girl he had a one-night stand with. When her true nature revealed, he hated himself for loving her and decided never to see her again. However, his fate took an unexpected turn and entangled him in a contract marriage with her, turning the girl he despised into his temporary wife. Will their love-hate relationship lead to a deeper connection, or will it keep them forever bound by the terms of their contract? *** As I spank her, Grace questions in a surprised tone, "What was that?" "That was for leaving your husband alone in the pool," I respond in a teasing tone, seizing her waist and pulling her towards me, stealing her breath. "But, my dear husband, you're pissing me off. Just move away." She tries to break free from my grasp. "Stop moving, Mrs Grey!" "No, I won't listen to you, Mr Grey. You told me you don't want me, so why are you here again?" "I didn't say that I don't want you," I whisper, closing the distance between us, my lips nearing my angry wife's. "It means the same!" She rolls her eyes. "I want you so damn much, okay? And I'm ready to regret it again and again for doing this. Today, I'll show you how much I desire you, my wife." I confess, my fingers playing with her wet hair, and my hand still firmly gripping her waist. "So tell me. Who is stopping you, husband?"
