"Fucking hell, Bernadette."

I throw Alaric a smile, pulling myself up to the next ring.

"Come on, live a little." 

He peers up at me, a frown gracing his features.

"Get the fuck down before you fall. I don't want to deal with a broken Bernadette right now."

"Then come and get me." I taunt.

Alaric runs an irritated hand through his hair before taking the first ring.

"If I die, this is on you. Trust me when I say you won't like the punishment." He acknowledges, his voice almost breathless as he climbed the ladder. 

"Hm, that's a little kinky." 

"You'd be the type to like it."

My mouth drops open and he shoots me a smirk.

"Look at that, I left you speechless." Alaric hauls himself up onto the ledge of the flat roof next to me. 

"You wish."

Hollow Vale: The First Rift by SuzanaMatondo
14 parts Ongoing Mature
Five friends decide to go camping in a forest a bit farther from their hometown, Hollow Vale - a small place where nothing ever happens, half the year shrouded in fog, forgotten by everyone. One night, as they danced and enjoyed their youth like any normal teenagers, creatures that shouldn't exist appeared. Before they realized what was happening, it was already too late: one friend's body was pierced by a hand with sharp claws; behind it, eyes darker than the night. For their relief - or despair - two mysterious brothers suddenly appeared to help. One said, "I don't care if the rest die, except for the hunter - she's our mission." The other disagreed, giving him a hard look. After getting rid of the first monsters, more appeared, and amid hysteria, horror, and chaos, one of the girls awakened a dormant power she never knew she had - and saved them from death. The vampires exchanged a surprised look. One of them smirked, stepped closer to Liora, and said, "We're here for you, Liora Hale." N'Yara, the friend who had awakened the power, collapsed, caught in Lucien's arms. In that moment, they all knew their lives had just changed. Only time would tell whether for better or worse - as they stepped into a supernatural world they never knew existed. ⚠️ ATTENTION New chapter every week (or biweekly during revisions). Book 2 is already in progress.

"You're just too much fun to mess with," he jokes, his smile transforming into a glowing smirk. My cheeks heat, but this time with anger. My tolerance has worn completely thin. "Would you let me go?" I ask spitefully. I feel like a broken record. He pushes off of the desk and takes a step back. Before I even realize what I'm doing, I slap him square across the cheek. Shock is plastered on his face, and I'm sure it is on mine too. I stand there in awe of what I just did. It was so sudden I'm not even sure I decided to do it but rather my indignation controlling me. Steadily, Damon's face morphs from shocked to entertained. I immediately regret my action, but I'm not completely stupid; I race for the door like there's no tomorrow. "You'll regret that!" I hear Damon yell as I'm running away. ~Sugar, spice, and everything nice~ A story about drama, sarcasm, love, and twists, with a little bad boy guilty pleasure mixed in between.

Connections | ✔️ by CxTannir

[COMPLETE] Sorry this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.

▪️FANTASY ROMANCE▪️ "You call it madness, but I call it love," Alaric mused. With a scoff, I replied, "What would you even know about love?" His gaze softened, a hint of melancholy brushing his features, "More than you might think, Golnar. We Fae are not as detached as you would believe." "And yet, here we stand, half orc breed and Fae King, worlds apart..." **** On the Isle of Wrobel, where destinies are intricately spun by the threads of ancient magic, the Fae have been regaining their power. Alaric reigns as the formidable Fae King, steering his people towards a war against the orcs. But as the clash of armies commences, destiny takes an unexpected turn-Alaric's path crosses with Golnar's, revealing a connection that transcends anything either of them could have expected. Alaric's heart finds its solace in the presence of Golnar, a unique hybrid, half-Orc and half-human. Amidst the fading echoes of battle, a delicate bond blossoms, defying the odds and challenging the conventions of their world.

My Brother's Best Friend✔️ by Storiesfromthelads

"You're going to pay for that." I whispered to her, making sure to graze my mouth across the spot that makes her breath hitch. When I saw her remain unfazed, I leant behind her and switched on the shower... causing a small gasp from her beneath the chilling water. Placing both hands either side of her head, I leant into her and hovered my lips above hers. Neither of us moved until she finally breathed the words that made my knees weak. "Oh, just fuck me already." ~~~ A plane journey was all that stood between Rebecca Brooke and Ashton Miles. One hour and 20 minutes in the sky was all that it took for her to arrive at her perfectly planned summer in France. However, falling for her 'Bestfriend's Brother' and 'Brother's Best Friend' certainly wasn't on that plan. Suddenly her whole month away, that she spent caught up in steamy romances with Ashton, began to feel so right. Yet somehow, so surreal... ~~~ ••🦋MATURE SCENES🦋- she a bit smutty ;) ••⚠️WARNING⚠️ ~this starts off as you average romance but nothing is as it seems~ ~~~ ~BEST TAGS~ #1 in brothersbestfriend #1 in childhood #1 in bliss #1 in holidayromance #1 in jealousy #1 in hotness #2 in boyfriend #4 in badboy #4 in player #6 in handsome #11 in badboylovestory #12 in mature #20 in brothers #28 in crush #34 in steamy #35 in teenfiction •Started 22nd December 2020• •1k Reads 28th December 2020• •10k Reads 7th January 2021• •100k Reads 20th May 2021•
Blue Strings - Will You Fall In Love, With Time? by Annieven04
34 parts Complete
(under editing, interested ones may reach out to me) In the symphony of love, their melodies intertwined, yet fate's chorus whispered no promise of forever. In a journey where hearts yearned but souls wandered apart, they discovered that true love sometimes meant embracing the courage to release, for the sake of finding happiness in the echoes of what could have been. ... SNEAK A PEAK Never have I ever thought that one day, I'll wake up to hear these words from a person I love the most, romantically. I pushed him back, I held him by his shoulders and pinned to the wall. I know I wrongfully confined him, but how dare he? 'You dare question my love for you?" I raised my voice. He is surprised, he widened his little eyes, those I would love to stare at all day or may be he is shocked as well. HAHA!! I Find it annoyingly funny how easily he quoted 'Thank god, You didn't love me too deep in the ocean', "Oh darling, wait till you drown inside and ask for my help when you can't swim to the shore" I retorted and defended my love.
