I never imagined I'd ever fall for the leather loving bad boy. It was always so cliche.
I meant don't get me wrong every girl has that fantasy that a bad boy will be good just for her but I never imagined it was real.
Let alone that I would fall for the "brooding bastard that is cassian james".
However lies are what break us and trust is what relationships are built on so if there isn't honesty? If there isn't trust? Is it worth it?
Was it worth it?
Knowing him made me question everything loving him made the uncertainty feel like home. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes along with darkness.
And though he was darkness he was beautiful.

Worth the Risk
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 :))Complete
CRIMINAL
COMPLETE "I don't love you anymore, Kane." I lie as I try to look him in the eyes. This however makes Nekane grin as he looks at me with amusement. "If you didn't love me anymore, you would've fucked different men in the past year," He says, taking a few steps closer. "If you didn't love me," He's now standing in front of me, his face close to mine. "You wouldn't have let me fuck you raw last night and you certainly wouldn't have let me cum inside of you," He says, his gaze falling to my lips. My breath hitches and I can feel my heartbeat speed up. "if you didn't still love me, you would've never let me get this close," He smirks as he blows a little air in my face.

Arranged Marriage to my Mate [Completed but Editing]
[Completed] Taylor Daniels. Average name, average face, average girl. What about her life? Well, that's a bit complicated. Finding out her werewolf heritage was not part of the seemingly normal life Taylor lived. She'd always been the strong but silent type, concentrating on getting good grades and pleasing her mother. But all that changes when she's merely picked up and dropped into the world of werewolves. She'll have to dust herself off and learn to live with the fact that her life was a lie. What's even more deranged is that her life is at risk. And who can possibly help her? Her so called "mate" Leo Knight. A forced marriage between the two is the only thing keeping her safe, but what happens when this little compromise turns into a whirlwind of attraction, hate, jealousy, and possible love? Can Taylor hold on to her only hope of sanity, or be whisked away in the world of werewolves, where her family, herself included, are a bunch of overgrown dogs? Taylor may seem shy on the outside, but dealing with a sarcastic, rude, arrogant mate has her standing up for herself and ultimately, facing her crazy consequences. Despite her situation, the confusing part is the possible attraction she has to Leo. And to think, it all started with two simple words..."I Do." THIS BOOK IS CURRENTLY BEING EDITED!

Forever is Crashing Down on Me (Austin Carlile)
"Forever?" I asked him, watching as his features all shined through with happiness. I tilted my head to the side as he let out a small laugh. "Forever," he agreed, evoking a smile from me. When Austin said it, I believed it, I believed it with every single fiber of my being. I didn't believe it with anyone from the past, not even Stephan, my ex fiance. I don't know what it was about Austin that made it believable, and I hopped that nothing would be able to take him away from me. I knew it was a lot to ask, and I would be fine if he decided to leave me. Austin was good for me, he really was. There wasn't a doubt in my mind that he was good for me. He made me happy, I made him happy (as far as I could tell). He made me want to be a better person every day. I knew that he was more than what I wanted, and I was glad he was mine, that he has been mine for over a year. It would be hard if I had to leave his house one day knowing it would be the last time, but I would be able to deal with it. ~~~ {Note that I suck at writing descriptions so I kinda just put an actual part of the prologue as the description, sorry not sorry. Also warning for smut. There will be smut and that's a promise. It'll be terrible smut, but still smut of a sort. I do not own Of Mice & Men or any of the songs mentioned in this story.

Chasing December (#wattyawards2015)
There was something about him. Or maybe there was something about me. I didn't want him in my life but he ran into it; literally. He liked to hide in trees, irritate me, and read books; despite the fact that it went against his image. He was more than meets the eye. Although at first I didn't want to know more. He lured me in like an unsuspecting moth to an open flame. Knowing the dangers I went in, wanting to know more. It could hurt me but it was too irresistible and I was drawn in. This isn't how the bad boy made me bad or about how I made him good. This is about how we changed each other lives. In good and bad ways. Whatever that means. "I don't bite.... hard." He smirked at me, winking one of his bright hazel eyes at me. It only made me more frustrated. "Yeah but Hunter, if you did you'd probably give me rabies." I rolled my eyes looking back at the book in my hand.Complete

A quiet job in a quiet town, a routine that never hurt, and a heart too careful to fall for anyone too fast. But then he walked in. The new hire. Mysterious. Impossibly attractive. He had the smile of a gentleman and the presence of a man who'd burn the world to keep your attention. He said all the right things. Held doors. Knew how to make her laugh. And when he looked at her-it felt like she was the only girl in the universe. But love, she learns, can be blinding. And not all monsters hide in shadows. Some wear suits. Some call you "baby." Some hold you like you're a prayer-then break you like a curse. Because he has secrets. Dark ones. Dangerous ones. The kind of truths that can't be buried without blood. So now the real question is... Will she uncover who he truly is-before it's too late? Can love survive when it's soaked in lies and obsession? And when she finally sees the monster behind the man... Will she run? Or will she stay?Complete

"Gods... Someone really ought to put you in your place." Cassian Blackwood has spent his entire life fighting his way through poverty, doing whatever it takes to keep his family alive in a city that couldn't care less if they lived or died. So when he was offered an unusually well-paid position as the personal servant to the crown prince, his entire world changed. The prince, Thalric Morrow, is everything Cassian despises: cold, entitled, and unbearably arrogant. A monster born into power who treats everyone with disdain. Especially his new servant, who he looked down upon from the very beginning. Cassian, however, is not afraid to stand his ground and give the prince a sharp tongue. They absolutely despise each other from the start, but hatred has a way of turning into obsession, and obsession into something far more treacherous. As Cassian is pulled deeper into the royal court's web, he realizes there's more to Thalric than just blood and cruelty. But in a kingdom built on centuries of lies and violence, getting close to the crown is a dangerous game. And falling for the crown prince might be the most dangerous game of all. . . . ⚠️ CONTENT WARNING ⚠️ graphic language, sexual content, extreme violence, blood, death & murder, heavy mental themes such as depression and abuse, sexual identity struggles, homophobia ⠀ . . .
