"How could you do this to me?" I all but shouted.

He flinched. "I'm sorry."

"You can take your sorry and shove it where the sun doesn't shine for all I care. We are done." I shot back, pointing a trembling finger at him. My whole body vibrated with the need to slap him silly for what he'd done but I didn't want to create more of a scene than I already had.

Deciding that he wasn't worth another minute of my time, I shook my head at him and pivoted on my heel, ready to leave. 

He held my elbow to stop me from going. "I'm sorry. Please don't go. I'd do anything to make it up to you. Anything." 

The raw pain in his voice stopped me in my tracks. As angry as I was, I wasn't completely immune to his charms. And that's exactly was he was doing. Using sweet nothings to coax me into staying. Looking back on things, I realized it was what he'd always done. 

But not anymore.

Steeling my spine, I wrenched my hand away from him. Without turning around, I said, "If I really was that important to you, you wouldn't have broken my trust as if it were nothing."

***

Falling for your best friend's boyfriend is considered a crime. And you'd probably burn in hell for an eternity for it. 

But what if the best friend isn't all you'd thought she was?

What if her boyfriend is so damn charming that you just can't help but fall for him? 

Is it justified then? No?

Bound By The Bond by Lillrah

"You are mine, little mate." A whimper slipped from my lips when Xander's mouth claimed the most sensitive part of my neck, his breath scorching my skin and heating my core. When I felt his teeth start to graze my skin, the fog cleared from my mind and I hurried to shove him away. He didn't budge. When those teeth started to clamp down, I cried out and moved my hands, sourcing the limited air in the room to use my power to push him off me. "Xander stop!" I shouted as he staggered backwards, his eyes black and unforgiving. "You are mine." "No," I whispered, ignoring the warm drops that slid down my neck. Blood. Not enough for a claim. But enough to make me wish it was. ----- Katalina wanted one thing in this world. Her mate. Or his death anyway. For years she had trained to become the perfect match for him and had meticulously planned every detail of her revenge so she could destroy him. For Xander, Katalina was his mate. For Katalina, Xander was her target. But their bond was a lie. A lie forcefully conjured by magic - not a bond fated by the Moon Goddess as Xander was led to believe. So, when a woman claiming to be his true mate comes into the picture, Katalina is forced to figure out if her growing feelings for him were true, or an unfortunate side effect of their forced bond. All is fair in love and war, right? Until, of course, it isn't. ----- *now updating weekly*

Don't Fall for Me by juliannav135

I was doing just fine my junior year of high school. I mean I did pick fights once in a while and my grades weren't the best, but I was doing okay. Xander was my best friend, actually my only friend. We didn't need anyone else, really. But then Ryker came back more badass than ever. I've hated him since we were children and apparently the feeling is mutual. We don't get along. He's cocky, arrogant, and downright mean. We were better off while he was gone. He should never have moved back. So, I stole his motorcycle. Then he told me not to fall for him. ~*~*~*~ I went over to the door and jumped back when it opened. Ryker came back in, pushing me up against one of the lockers. He locked his eyes on my lips and I gasped. He smirked. "Don't fall for me, Angel." With that, he stepped away from me and left again for good. What the hell? Did he honestly have the audacity to tell me not to fall in love with him? I clenched my fists, shoving the door open to confront the cocky jerk.

Perfect by akslate

*****In the past four years of high school there hasn't been a thing that I havent competed for with Dean Purvis, my best friend. Ninety nine point nine percent of the time, there wasn't a thing that I would compete for and not win. Just like my freshman year at Saint Mary's Academy, Dean and I both tried out for the one spot left on the basketball team and I did everything I could to beat him. Then, there were our grades. We both competed for Valedictorian and once again, I beat him by one little point at that as well. We both applied to Harvard University, he got shot down but I got accepted and then felt guilty about not accepting the scholarship that he so badly wanted. But, that is beside the point. The point is, I never let Dean beat me in anything accept one thing. The one thing he actually beat me in getting, is the only thing I ever really wanted. Emma Lancaster. ***** Emma and Beau have been best friends for the longest time. Though Emma always really felt more for him than he did with her, but Beau never could see past playing with womens hearts to really notice that he felt the same way about her. So what happens after graduation when Emma accepts Dean Purvis's proposal and Beau realizes that he is the one that is supposed to be with her? Will Emma play it safe with her perfect life? Or will she risk it all for the first boy she ever really loved? *Spin off between Emma and Beau from the books Running on the Beach at Night & Between Love & Deception*

Starting With You by AngieMahlke

Romance trope: best friends to lovers. "You're supposed to be my best friend, but all I can think about is kissing you again." TEDDY: I somehow got stuck in the unfortunate "one of the guys" category. It was on accident, naturally falling into this role since my childhood best friend was a boy. The crush on my best friend was also an accident. He's always seen me as one of the guys. That is, until the one drunken night he didn't. The one that nearly ruined everything a decade ago. JENSEN: It was much easier when I didn't notice how hot my best friend is. It would be even better if the rest of the jackoffs in our small town would stop noticing too. I can still remember all the details from our night together years ago. The night we never talk about, yet it's still so fresh in my mind. But will a secret scar from a past relationship ruin everything? [This is BOOK ONE of the WITH YOU series, a small town romance series set in Minnesota about the lives of the dysfunctional, blended Anderson family - with an interwoven mystery built into the background that spans the entirety of the series.] **Title formerly The Rest of Forever**

Buried Wishes ✔ by ObsessedwFiction

Warning: Mature Content. Outside, it was cold and breezy, with those familiar night stars that twinkled above us years ago. We walked side by side along the little path that ran across the gigantic grassy park at the center of campus. I held my breath every time my swinging hand brushed his, hoping to feel his warm palm in mine again. I just wanted more with him, but I knew it was wishful thinking. So I buried it. I buried it with the silence and the distant looks. I desperately wanted us to go back to being friends, before all the feelings showed up, before he embarrassed me in front of half the school by dismissing any chance at us being together. ~o~ Evelyn Martinez has had her heart broken exactly once, by Liam Saunders.

Everything changes when Liam reveals his own feelings and the truth behind why he hurt Ev. Commitments and loyalty become a house of cards in a hurricane as truths start to spill, leaving their chances at happiness to hang by a thread.

Half of My Heart ✔️ by koolkenz

how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems. One: her older brother goes to the same college, and it seems like he's everywhere, keeping her from doing everything she hoped to do as a college freshman. Two: her brother's devastatingly handsome best friend also seems hell-bent on ruining her college experience . . . but in a different way. Their paths keep crossing, and Scarlett is reminded of the powerful attraction that they've both ignored for far too long. Not to mention, a new face begins to occupy everyday Scarlett's thoughts. When Scarlett is paired with an allusive, darkly handsome stranger for a film project, her world begins to open in ways she never thought possible. But as his mystery unravels into dark secrets, she wonders if she's falling a bit too hard. Before long, Scarlett is forced to realize that balancing the hearts of two boys at once just might result in the breaking of her own.

Once Again by AEDAvis7211

Sarah and Rhys are childhood friends who throughout life discover love, loss, and each other once again. **Mature Content** Excerpt: "I'd say you know why, but I think you need to hear it." He leans forward, steeling his eyes, daring mine to look at him "For...being a shitty friend. For not picking up a phone. For everything." I chew on my bottom lip holding back the emotional words I want to unleash on him. I don't want him to think he still has that power though so I just shrug. "Why now? I mean I think I have an idea but I'd rather you tell me." He runs a hand over his face wiping at the tension that now etches it and I feel a twinge of guilt. "I know how it looks...And you're right, ok? Whatever you're thinking is probably right, at least partially." "Then tell me what's partially right and what's not." I challenge looking him in the eye this time. He opens his mouth and then closes it. Unlike me, he seems to not have rehearsed any of this. Go figure. "I know I hurt you. It was a dick move and I was immature and...only thinking about my own feelings. I know this. By the time I realized it though...it was kind of too late..."

Love with strings detached by M_scorpioxx

I put on a show only for him in front of hundreds of people. I bring one hand up to my hair flicking them to the other side, trailing that hand down to my sternum and then my boob as I keep swaying my hips from to side, bending my knees as I lower myself a bit to the ground before sharply standing up again and slowly spinning around, circling my hips. I run my hands through the back of my hair before nailing my gaze on his eyes, slowly walking up to him. I watch him as he wets his lips before biting his plumb bottom one, eyes trailing up my body. Once I reach him, I wrap my arms around his neck and run my fingers through his hair as I press my body up against his. His hands shoot out to grab me from my lower waist, pulling me even closer to him as he pushes a leg between mine, staring into my eyes. I turn my head to the side and brush my lips against his ear before licking and biting his earlobe the same way I did at the party before whispering a few words he was dying to hear. "Take me back to your place." ---------- Theo is a 20-year-old university student with a bad temper. Letting go of the past can be a difficult thing to do but a much-needed one to move on. Love is his greatest fear, something that's so beautiful yet can be so painful at times. Can you love someone even if you fear that feeling? Daisy is a 20-year-old university student with bad romance luck so far. An ugly breakup can put you off love or it can make you more determined to find the real deal. Getting recently out of a toxic relationship, a new one is the last thing she's looking for. Can you love someone that doesn't allow themselves to be loved? A romance filled with drama, passion and love.

His lips trail down my neck, sending shivers all over. "I love looking at you," he breathes, brushing the hair off my shoulders. "Will you let me look at you?" My heart hammers, a wild thing seeking his. "Yes." So he does. And I feel it. For a long moment, I just feel his eyes. Then, his hands. They skim down my spine, bowing my body into his. When his lips find my throat, I lean back into his hands, my eyes closing. He kisses between my breasts, then across them, taking my nipples into his mouth, swirling his tongue, sucking, and kissing, always kissing. I gasp lightly, my fingers curling into his hair. His response is a smile against my skin. He explores the expanse of my chest, my stomach, my shoulders. He pulls my arms out to kiss them, all the way to my wrists...all the way back. He presses affection into my skin, injects trust into my veins. Then he eases me to my back and does it all over again. ******* An obscure tutoring opportunity brings Camila closer to three friends: Noah, Jed, and Fox. After hiding in the shadows for so long, Cam is coaxed to the light. 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙚 STANDALONE NOVEL C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ sexual/mature content ❤︎ violence/abuse ❤︎ found family H I G H E S T RANKINGS: #1 romancestories #1 completed #1 collegeromance Copyright © 2024 immoralLaurel.
