*Check out the audiobook on Youtube* Emma has sworn never to fall in love, but when circumstances force her to move in with her brother's best friend there are definite sparks. Like when he accidentally picks up her vibrator... Or when she walks in on him naked in the shower... Maybe... maybe they should just do it once... to get it out of their systems. Knightley has been her brother's best friend for as long as she can remember. And now they're all at the same university. It's not until she moves into his apartment that she notices just how grown-up he's become. He's no longer the scrawny boy she never paid attention to. Ripped and handsome, he's no stranger to taking women home. But he never lets them stay the night. Knightley never expected this. Somehow, he's ended up living with his best friend's little sister. And she has turned hot as hell. He does not need the image of her with a vibrator taking up space in his head. She is off limits. Of course she is. No matter what kind of feelings he has for her. This is a brother's best friend, roommates-to-lovers with a secret relationship and steamy benefits. (❤️18+ recommended❤️) It's unedited, so there might be mistakes throughout. Thanks for your understanding! Book 2 in the Benefits series. This is a standalone, but it follows Pride and Hate with Benefits. (Both are inspired by Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Emma.)

Trying Not To Love (COMPLETED) by Books_and_nerds

I stepped forward and asked, "Where do you want me?" It took me a second to realize what I just said. Shit! I placed a hand on my crimson face and muttered, "Get your head out of the gutter! You know what I meant." He laughed, his voice sounded hoarse and deep even when he's laughing. I peeked at him from the gap I made between my fingers. He was close. So close. He grabbed my hand and took me to the bed. Damn! It did sound sexy. His shirt was loose. Too large for me, and it hung on me like a cloth hung on a hanger. He sat on the bed, criss crossed and pulled me to him. ♡♡♡♡♡ The thing about love is... its unpredictable. Even when you don't want love, it just happens.

That night had been the first time Tristan told her he loved her. Their courtship had started fast. It took four hours for him to get her into bed and take her virginity and one night for her to fall head over heels in love with him. The year leading up to their final night together had been full of twists and turns, ups and downs. But she'd thought they had finally gotten to a place where they full understood and valued one another. So what happened? Why did he leave? And why had he come back today of all days? Her wedding day. To his former best friend and band mate, Nyle Wentworth. Nyle has been there for Serenity ever since Tristan left her heart in irrepairable pieces. Nyle loved her back to life and in spite of her love for Tristan, she found herself drawn to him. Now they're about to get married.

He and Tristan were friends but that's all in the past. And that's where he intends to keep it. All Serenity wants to do is to marry Nyle, be happy, and go on with her life but the reappearance of the love of her life is making that more than difficult. Tristan is back, he wants what's his, and he doesn't care who he has to destroy or kill to have it. Now that Tristan's back, Serenity finds herself torn between what her heart wants and who her head knows is the better choice. **For mature audiences only (18+)
