Consume Me

True love doesn't exist. "Love" never lasts. I've witnessed it first hand but somehow, deep down, I still want a soul-linking, all-consuming, epic love. A love that never fades, overcomes all obstacles, and lasts forever. A love that just doesn't exist. How ironic; I'm named after one of the most influential female romance novelists of the 19th century and I couldn't be any less romantic.
I don't date, I don't do feelings, and I do not say "I love you". Summer hookups, meaningless flirtation, and leading men on- that's my specialty. Everyone knows that. Well, at least I thought they did. So why in hells' name is he on my doorstep at 2AM in his underwear, only his underwear.
_
Jane Green, daughter of two college literature professors, couldn't be more different from the parents who raised her. Being cynical, analytical, and critical of everyone and everything around her allows her to avoid being crushed by the reality of her unrealistic expectations of love. Casual hookups and her absence from the dating scene is what allows her to avoid hurting others.
So why won't her summer one night stand just leave her alone? That's what she wants to know too.

Zane Wilder
*SLOWLY BEING EDITED* Zane had a special mission to accomplish. No one could find out that he's undercover. No one. But with those hazel eyes and her smart mouth he couldn't stay away from her. She was making him feel things he never knew it was possible. Yet bringing her into his world was dangerous especially because of her sudden connection to his case. Katherine has a baggage full of insecurities and trust issues. She never had an official boyfriend and being 24 that's socially unacceptable. The danger those grey eyes emit should scare her away. He was trouble and she knew that but she couldn't help it. The attraction she feels towards him is scaring her. Is it worth taking the risk? ........ "Can you cook?" "I can" "Good, what about laundry and cleaning?" I nodded. "Fuck Angel, you're like the perfect woman and you still want me to be your friend" He joked and found myself laughing. "Because I am the perfect housewife?" I asked arching an eyebrow. "No, because you are the perfect combination of smart, beautiful, and skillful." I blushed at that and I wanted to look away but one of his hands stopped me and turned my face towards him. "Get used to hearing compliments because you're going to hear them often in the future. Now, about my offer..." He gave me an expectant look. I thought for a while. I still wasn't sure it was a good idea but I liked working at the shop and still wanted to work there for a little while. "Alright, let's do it," I said. "Now? Here? Damn Angel, first the fiancé thing, and now this. For someone inexperienced, you sure move fast" He joked and I laughed. *Warning ⚠️* Strong language, triggering topics such as body shaming, depression...Complete
