"Kai would never forget the huge smile on Ivy's face when the waitress handed her the check and she paid for it, tip included with the cash from her wallet.
Kai promised herself she'd never take the simplest things in life for granted again. Not as long as Ivy kept showing her how some of those simple things were more wonderful than they seemed, if you shared them with the right person."
-------
Kai Brooks walked with her head high, which was to be expected considering she was a Tony winning actress with more money than she knew what to do with, but when she trips over Ivy Sutton, huddled by the entrance to her lavish apartment, trying to keep warm, even Kai's hardheaded facade couldn't keep her from pushing her head down to see the unlucky, yet strangely endearing girl sitting below her.

The High Life
Maddy, Cat, Isabelle and Lucy. Our lives are a whirlwind of parties, sex, drinking and drugs, all wrapped up in a billion-dollar bow. We're the it girls of New York, and it's not as glamorous as you think. People say more money, more problems, but for me, it's more money and one problem. One that I can't escape. *** I thought it was a cruel prank someone had played on me, but after going so long without one, I thought I had moved past it. I had done the work with my therapist, working through the constant anxiety, stress and paranoia I experienced after just two incidents. I thought I had managed it, that I had overcome it. But here I was. Kneeling on the floor, unable to move while my blood stained our new carpet. Right back at square one.Complete
WAITING ON YOU
There are girls raised to behave. And girls who learn how to survive. Elena Radcliffe wears perfection like armour-polished smiles, perfect manners, and secrets sharp enough to cut. She's careful. Controlled. And far more dangerous than she looks. Kai Murphy doesn't do careful. Reckless, magnetic, and completely untamed, he lives like he has nothing to lose-and maybe he doesn't. When their worlds collide in England, 2005, it's explosive. Hate turns into desire. Desire turns into obsession. And lines meant to stay uncrossed disappear fast. Because some fires aren't meant to be tamed. And the most dangerous women aren't born- they're provoked.Complete
You Belong to Me

Velvet Smoke |gxg|
Sienna Lux was the kind of woman you remembered. Not just because of her sultry eyes or the smoky laugh that clung to the air like perfume-but because she never looked back after she had you. She was the city's worst-kept secret, the whispered name passed between silk sheets and smoky lounges. Bartenders knew her drink. Ex-lovers still dreamed about her touch. Her stilettos clicked like a metronome of seduction through downtown Manhattan, where the nights never ended and the mornings didn't ask questions. Men had fallen for her. Women, too. And Sienna? She collected hearts like souvenirs-never cruel, never cold, just untethered. "I don't do forever," she'd say, lips brushing a collarbone, fingers tangled in hair. "But I'll make tonight unforgettable." And she always did. Her first love was a boy named Theo who tasted like cherry vodka and promised the world. He was her gateway drug. But it was Marla-older, dangerous, wrapped in leather and laughter-who changed everything. One stolen kiss in a nightclub bathroom, and suddenly, men were optional. Sienna chased women like smoke-impossible to hold, but intoxicating to taste. There was Camila, who wrote poetry on her skin with lipstick. Freya, who was married. And Alix, the tattooed bartender with heartbreak in her eyes and hands that didn't know how to say goodbye. But none of them made her stop. None of them made her stay. Until Jade. Jade was not her usual type. She was soft, a little shy, with eyes like spring and a laugh like something Sienna didn't deserve. They met at a gallery opening-Sienna in velvet, Jade in denim-and the moment stretched like warm honey.Complete![Our Secret [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/161892870-256-k74496.jpg)
Our Secret [Completed]
[Book 2 in the Secret series] "That's not what I meant..." I chew on my lip. "Well, what the fuck did you mean then?" He shouts. "When I'm there I don't have to think about you!" I yell back. Wrong choice of words again, Sophia. I curse myself. His form immediately stands and he strides over to me, he is now inches away from me, his body is so close to mine that I am forced to take a couple of steps backwards. My back is pressed up against the window. Noah's breathing is deep but he speaks softly, "when you're there all I can think about is you." He raises his hand and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. I step around him and head for the door, "uh I'm going to go to the hospital." I pick up my bag and rush out of the door leaving Noah in the room and saving myself from doing something I would definitely regret and make me change my mind about going back to Pennsylvania. ------------ 'I love you too,' were the last words Sophia heard before she was banished from her home city and she left without a second thought. If she didn't she knew she would be in danger. A month and a half later Sophia returns as a person close to her is in critical condition in hospital. Everyone's eyes are on Sophia, and they are looking for someone to blame. Will she return to her new life and forget about New York once and for all? Or will she fit right back into the McKenzie's life as if she never left? And as for her relationship with Noah, there might be a chance for romance after all.Complete
Business deal
Marissa- This engagement isn't love - it's a transaction. My father sells me off to tie our empire to the Riveras', and I smile sweetly while they pat my head like a good girl. They all think I'm soft. They think I'll break first. Hazel wants to make me beg. Cute. Let her think that. She's not the only one who knows how to ruin things. Hazel- "You sure you're ready for this, Belmont?" I murmur. My voice is low, my breath mixing with hers. She tastes like champagne and danger. Her chin lifts - defiant, proud. "I'm not the one who should be worried, Rivera." I almost laugh. I almost kiss her. Instead I drop my hand, stepping back just enough to watch her pull herself together, to see that tiny crack in her perfect act before she smooths it over.Complete
