She convinces herself she is protecting him. Dylan loves without knowing where to stop. He stays when it would be easier to leave. He calls it devotion. He does not realize it is slowly costing him pieces of himself. When honesty finally breaks through, love is no longer soft. It is heavy. It is breathless.

Black Lace
I get lost in the moment as I grind against him, and I can feel him getting hard. A smirk appears on my lips as I drop it low and slowly move back up, making sure I press my ass harder into him. A groan erupts from the back of his throat, and I know I'm doing my job right. He turns me around and pulls me closer to him, our chests pressing against one another. One of his hands is still on my waist, the other holding onto my face. We stare into one another's eyes as we continue to dance, never once breaking contact. He leans forward, as if he's going to kiss me, and even though I don't know him at all, I still want him to press his lips against mine. To see how he tastes. But instead, I ruin the moment and step back from him. "I need another drink!" ~ 21 year-old Callie Davis has never experienced real passion before.

DAYLIGHT - A Tayvis-inspired love story
In a billionaire superstar's world, where genuine connections must be untangled from the brightness of spotlights and the shadows of fame, Taylor's heart was guarded stronger than ever, yet brimming with light and kindness, but also quiet sadness -like a summer meadow under a sky full of stars, like midnight rain drenching the earth. Meanwhile, Travis' heart was open and steady - like a quiet ocean of warmth, unshaken by storms, like sunshine reflecting on a clear, blue ocean. It was the kind of love she hadn't dared to trust, until now. Their first connection - a bold, slightly silly gesture involving a friendship bracelet with his phone number woven into the beads - was sweeter than fiction, charming and just a little awkward. Though it never reached her that night, his attempt to get her attention marked the start of something extraordinary, neither of them would have expected. Like ever. Fate's invisible strings pulled them closer, unraveling the barriers between their worlds. Love bloomed softly at first, like the golden rays of dawn peeking through the night, until it shone with the golden promise of something lasting - like daylight -, and suddenly everything had changed. But the road to daylight wasn't without its shadows. Fame, fear, and the weight of two very different worlds stood between them. Yet with every step, love found its way, glowing brighter than they'd ever dreamed. But in a world of spotlighted chaos and hidden fears, will this love be enough to light up their way? ***** WARNING: My stories are cheesy, dramatic, and made out of romance. I love exploring how people get to know each other and fall in love (and this will take a while!), I adore the shipping, the journey to connection, and the way characters interact, including all the nuances of their relationships and the smut - everything about it! If that's not your cup of tea, then "DAYLIGHT" might not be for you.
