The perfect man just proposed and what was my answer? NO. 

Why? I'm too scared to get my heartbroken AGAIN. 

Spontaneity led me to the worst heartbreak of my life. A heartbreak that no matter how much I try to forget,  remains with me.

I must distract myself by focusing on running my restaurant and making sure my best friends have the greatest wedding on earth as their maid of honor.

Simple, right? WRONG.

Guess who re-enters my life after 5 long years? My heart-breaker ex. He's the best man. And he's not about to make things easy for me.   

Despite the hole in my heart, did I mention how bad I want to rip his clothes off? 

I'm in BIG trouble.

I REFUSE to let him break me again. I WON'T make the same mistake twice. I WILL resist him. 

Wish me luck. I'm going to need it.

★★★ "Tell me what you want," he murmured, his words sending a shiver down my spine. "I want you," I replied, my voice filled with longing. "I want you to fuck me." He chuckled, his eyes meeting mine with a heated gaze that made my heart race. "Come again, baby?" he teased. As his thumb brushed over my bottom lip, parting them slightly, I softened my gaze, giving him a look that I knew would drive him wild. "Fuck me," I said, my voice more commanding this time, the urgency pulsing through every word. "God," he breathed, his voice slightly higher as he hid his face in the crook of my neck, his kisses growing more intense with each passing moment. ★★★ 𝐀𝐕𝐀 ( 𝐍𝐎𝐇 𝐉𝐈𝐇𝐘𝐄) - After her fallout with her best friend, it seemed like her life had taken a turn for the worse. Despite her successful career as a model and background dancer for many successful artists, she was still unhappy. Not only was she dealing life without her best friend by her side, but she was also struggling to cope with a recent and unexplained break-up, which made it difficult for her to move forward. Although her financial situation improved, her mental state definitely went downhill. Until...? 𝐊𝐘𝐀𝐍 -From dancer to fighter. Not only did he have to deal with the love of his life suddenly disappearing to another city, he also threw away his dancing career after falling for a scam involving his whole family. His stubborn mother offered no help, and although he hated to relive his past, he saw no other choice but to return to dancing. The stress was unbearable. Then, when he saw his best friend again, looking down at him with disgust and disappointment - thanks to Alex calling her at the wrong time - he came up with a deal that made him want to punch himself. A deal that not only served to relieve his and her stress but also maybe get the love of his life back. Or perhaps she had always been there? - started: feb 28th 2024 - ended:

"Brandon..... You're hurting me.", I hissed at him as he tightened his hold around my arm. "I don't give a fuck!", He hissed back digging holes inside me through his gaze. The person who stood in front of me, wasn't even a smallest, single fraction of the Brandon I loved... the Brandon who loved me. "Now listen carefully....", he dragged me as he pushed me against a wall hurting my back still holding my arm tightly. "I'm warning you for the last time.", He hissed closing the distance between the two of us to zero. His closeness still had an effect on my heartbeat that raced manically but little did it effect Brandon who stood digging holes into my entire body through his death glare. "I'm warning you for the last time... Don't test my patience. Try and act smart again and I'll show you how I can ruin you, your entire family and that little business of yours and the families of hundreds of your employees. Trust me, if killing you was an option I wouldn't have waited for a single second to get rid of you... So don't get on my nerves before I decide to change my mind.", He said out loud glaring directly into my eyes. There wasn't a small hint of sadness or sorrow but pure hatred and annoyance in his eyes as he uttered those words rendering me rather shocked. He let go off my arm and walked out I stood still, frozen at the thought of how can he hate me so much? My heart still flattered at his touch and here he was...

✅ Complete ✅ When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment. One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention. What could go wrong? ☲☲☲☲☲ ☆Brooks☆ My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly -- like she was scared the moment would pass away forever if she let another millisecond go by -- and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her. Something about my touch must have given her courage. ♡Campbell♡ The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train. I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just their new neighbor. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret. ☆Luca☆ Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly -- like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea -- and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy. And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat. ☲☲☲☲☲ Featured by: 📙 @Wattpad • Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) • Endless Reading Mode 🧡 (Jan 2024) • Summer in the City 🥵 (June 2023) 📕 @Romance • New Adult (June 2024) 📘 @Ambassadors • Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) Awards: 🥈 Romance runner-up (The Prime Awards 2023)

#150 in short story "Mariana, please for crying out loud, stop this game. They both don't deserve this," I said while walking toward her. "They wouldn't find out. Don't ask me to choose because I can't and won't. I love Eben and I'm doing Richard a favour by not breaking his heart. You should've looked at the guy who begged me to give him a chance. Besides he's rich and is always there and available whenever Eben ignores and rejects me sometimes." "Goodness!!! What do you need? Your family has it all. You cannot do this to Richard. He's a good, kindhearted and a handsome young man. Don't take his love for granted. He needs someone who will love and cherish him." I told her with so much anger. Mariana stares at me for a while and asked the question I have been hiding from her, "Roselyn, you have fallen in love with him, right? Is that what this is all about? Answer me!!! Isn't it? Am I correct?" Even though I thought I'd see her hurt or betrayed, my heart told me she looked like she wanted it to happen. ***** Mariana and I have been best friends for more than four years now. She was always sweet and lovely until Richard showed up. He was everything a lady will need in a man. I fell for him the very moment I set my eyes on him but he already liked Mariana. It was sad always seeing her play with Richard's heart. I could give him more and all my best friend could give him, was nothing but lies. I have to cover up for her all the time, which hurts me more than anything else. I am being torn between my best friend whom I have been together with for more than four years and a man i barely know and who only sees me as his girlfriend's best friend.
