The Good Ones

I realized how close our bodies were, and heat generated between us. His eyes flickered over my face, trying to read me. I licked my lips and his eyes lingered on them.

I had no idea what I was doing until it was too late.

I wrapped my hands into his wet curls and pulled his face to mine. Our lips crushed together, moving as if we had done this a thousand times before. His lips were soft and sweet, and I realized that I might be tasting the lips of the girl he just kissed. I decided I didn't care anymore, I just needed to feel something other than the pain I was in.

My tongue snaked into his mouth, and his slipped into mine. His arms wrapped around me, and in that amazing moment, there was nothing except us. My body pulsated from his touch. I deepened our kiss, trying to forget everything.

The day I met Henry Mercado, my entire life changed.

Masina Leon was having the typical college experience: parties and studies. After going a little too wild her first semester at University of Cali Riverside, she decided to have a much more calm spring semester.

Things did not go as planned when she met Henry Mercado, who Masina fell for the first day they met. Masina tried her best to avoid him, because love was never kind to her before. But when life kept throwing them together, she couldn't ignore her feelings for Henry any longer.

Everything was too complicated between them, as they both harbored secrets that threatened to surface.

Battling demons from both their pasts and present, will Henry and Masina find their happily ever after? Or will they be torn apart for good?
