hexes for exes by nyxiekitsune

EVERY SUMMER, four families make their yearly exodus to the British seaside town of Briarville. For Livia Wong, the trip had been tradition ever since she could remember. Summer was always spent alongside the pristine beaches with the dreamy-hued sunsets. The trip is awaited with anticipation, not fear. Until this year. Livia didn't leave Briarville last year on good terms. It wasn't all her fault, of course not, but she was partially to blame. Being no longer on talking terms with your two closest friends is one thing. Having them as your neighbours for the entire rest of the summer, while your parents and other friends have no idea something is wrong? The plan was simple: Livia was eighteen, about to head to university. If she made it through this summer, she could leave Briarville in the distant past and never have to think about it again. But it was going to be okay. She might not be on talking terms with the Calvert-Egerton twins anymore, and she might have always been on horrible terms with Sarah Hepburn, but she still had Brie and Lila. And her little sister, Pamela. Still, eighteen years of friendship was never something that would simply go down the drain. Livia had some work to do if she wanted to make it out this summer unscathed. Her heart had been broken once, she was not going to let it happen again.

The Lighthouse: A Tom Hardy FanFiction by ScarletteDrake

"So, then you are who I think you are?" I ask. He pulls the scarf down again to expose his mouth and gives me a wry smile. "Depends on who it is you think I am, I suppose." His face gives nothing away but there's a twinkle in his eye. I bite my lip feeling shy all of a sudden. "Um, I'm Francesca. My friends call me Frankie." I tell him. If it's not him then I can be on my way and home in ten minutes and he'll be just a lunatic hiker who picked the wrong month to go explore the great outdoors. Then he'll freeze and die and I'll have a strangers death on my conscience and not the death of an A-list actor I've had a crush on for ten years. "Nice to meet you Frankie," he says. "I'm Tom. But my friends call me Tommy. I'd shake your hand but I reckon I might lose it you know? It's probably halfway gone already." He flexes his fingers to check the life in them. And I'm no longer calm. Ok. So this was happening. I'd been stopped by a hitchhiking Tom Hardy on a remote desolate island in the middle of a bloody snowstorm. You just never knew the minute did you? ****************************************************** Just a fun A/U FanFic about the god that is Tom Hardy. This is A/U. Tom is not married in this universe. In my fantasy universe he's married to me. In another universe he's a sexy pirate. In another universe he's the emperor of a kingdom of dogs (woof) ... you get the gist. IT'S A VALENTINES FANTASY.

Destined By Fate by LoraWhite6

Kendall has always lived a quiet life in a small town in Illinois with her family, friends, and boyfriend Jordan. Her life had been mostly happy other than when her best friend moved away when she was 10. It took her years to get over that loss. Then several years later, tragedy struck when her father passed away suddenly and Kendall was forced to move with her mom closer to Chicago where she could find a job to support the two of them. Little does Kendall know that she is in for the surprise of a lifetime. From the book.... As he catches up to me, he grabs my arm swings me around and with one swift movement he ushers me into a nearby empty classroom with the lights off. He cages me in against the wall. His close proximity is making me dizzy and my mind is thinking very dirty thoughts. Wait no. I can't think like that anymore. "Kendall." He says hungrily. "You are mine and only mine. You drive me wild and no one else can have you." He says as he attacks my lips. It feels so amazing I can't help but kiss him back. I run my hands through his beautiful hair and he groans into the kiss. Man I don't want this to ever end. I feel drunk on him. I don't think I can let him go. He stops suddenly to finish his thoughts. "No one can make you feel like this. Or kiss you here...." He says as he kisses down my neck. I moan and he smirks pulling his face impossibly close to mine. "..or touch you." He says as he takes his hand and brushes it lightly down my arm and he snakes it back around my back pulling me even closer if that is possible. He finally stops at my ass which he squeezes delightfully and I hum in response. Warning: Contains graphic sexual content. Read at your own discretion. You will not be warned ahead of time.

Meet Me After Class by LeighFrankie

So who will it be for this hopelessly unromantic girl? The brooding best friend? Or the young and unquestionably attractive substitute teacher? They say every person is worth the potential heartbreak of relationships not working out. That's why people still take that leap. But not me. Never been kissed, never had a boyfriend-I was pretty convinced by now that I was one of those mega-rare exceptions to the rule; the unlucky sap was just not worth the risk. And I'm totally fine with that. Romance and heartbreak? Not worth the hype in my book. Until life decided to get all snarky on me. "Fooled you, idiot! You'll get your love story...just not at all how you wanted it." Before I know it, I'm swept up in romantic turmoil more dramatic than anything my wildest playwright fantasies could dream up. Getting these very real, very adult feelings for the first time is bloomin' confusing. Lines will blur, tough choices will be made, and hearts will be deliciously broken. So who will it be for this once-hopelessly unromantic girl? My brooding best friend? Or my young substitute teacher?

Blindsided by beauty7665

COMPLETED Burton High is not a white-collared, run of the mill school. We've got the art kids, we've got the weird goths that hang around one particular place as though they're a pack of wild animals. We've got the druggies and the cheerleaders and the jocks. I guess I would consider myself a jock; I definitely would not consider myself a cheerleader. Let me rephrase; I am a jock. I may have boobs and long, blonde hair that my mom begs me to curl, but I would rather slap my toes into a door frame on repeat than resemble a young lady at all. So yes; I am one hundred percent a jock. ~~~ Paige Miller is determined to earn her spot at one of the best hockey programs in North America. But her boyfriend is counting on that exact same spot. After a fight that leaves Paige wondering if there's anything left to save with her boyfriend, she flies 2000 miles with her best friend Simon to see the school that's pretty much willing to do anything to get her on their team. In this steamy love story, sparks fly when they aren't supposed to, relationships are broken, and hearts are left torn.

2:29 AM by RoseAndBone

"Okay, you know what? You're such a jackass and I never should have kissed you," I say. Colton stands up. His green eyes are just as angry as mine are. "Then why did you?" he asks. "I don't know!" I yell. "Why did you kiss me back?" "Hey, you kissed me," Colton says. "We already established that! God! It's like talking to a wall. Whatever I say just fucking bounces right off of you!" I yell. "Do you have any idea how maddening you are?" Colton looks at me. "You don't think you're infuriating?" Colton asks. I narrow my eyes. He starts to walk towards the door. I grab the M&M's and chuck them at Colton. He whips around, his eyes blazing green. "Where the fuck are you going? We're talking!" I yell, crossing my arms. He rubs the back of his neck where the M&M's hit him. "You wanna talk? Fine. Let's talk," Colton says. "You're obviously messed up from all of the shit your mom did." "Maybe I am! It's not your fucking business!" I pause. "Why do you even care? You're just some manwhore, right? A fuckboy?" Colton laughs dryly. "Is that what you think I am?" he asks. He takes a step closer to me. I'm two seconds away from kissing him again. Andy Reed-Collins has never fit in. With both of her parents being doctors, she's grown up in the hospital and has more friends there than she does at her high school.

But, when they become Biology partners, everything changes for Andy. As she spends more time with Colton, she can't deny their growing attraction to each other. The harder she tries to resist it, the more she's drawn to him. With his endlessly green eyes and knowing smirk, Colton sees through all of her walls.

Eleanor Nicole Knight, otherwise known as just Ellie to her friends and family, had one little, yet bizarre, dream in mind since she was a little girl - and that was to become a professional wrestler. She went by the ring name of ❝The Dark Angel❞ Scarlett Knight. Alongside her best friend and partner-in-crime, Lillie Cortez (otherwise known as ❝The Anti-Angel❞ Lillie Luna), they are about to take the WWE by storm. Now, however, Ellie is insecure and reserved, almost innocent-to-the-touch, driven girl. However, she has a bad past that she can't seem to run away from, but that's before wrestling came into the picture, of course. But when she's thrown into an on-screen love/hate relationship with an seemingly nice Colby Lopez (famously known as Seth Rollins), she doesn't know what to think, considering the fact he's a total ass towards her off-screen. She can't wait until she gets away from him every night. Despite being so rude and cocky, while she forms this sort of soft hatred towards him, he goes out of his way to protect her in and outside of the ring. Something starts to drive her completely up the wall about him and she can't seem to figure out why. When the lights go out and the spotlight's on just them two, it ignites a burning passion within the both of them. It's something neither of them have ever known before. Ellie is bound and determined to get deeper into Seth's past the best that she can before it's too late... Before he pushes her away permanently. Unless, perhaps, this could be the burning passion love they have been seeking all along... ▹ COMPLETED AS OF 09|12|17 ✔

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 :))
