Around this area, nobody wanted to be out past nine, and it was now 11. I was used to coming back alone, so much it became second nature. What I wasn't used to was the dull thud of flat leather slapping flesh, the roar of anger and satisfaction, and the piercing scream that followed.




Fate had seemed to deal Alexander Matthews with the worst card in its deck. In a house that was barely more than a roof to rest her head under and an almost complete lack of parental figures, she grew up hard and fast in a neighbourhood where survival was key.

When shit hits the fan, she's presented with another chance, another card at life. It's a chance she grabs, but fate, as it would seem, had other plans that awaited her on the glistening, sun-kissed shores of Miami beach. Plans that involved a past she wanted to forget, and a heart to open up.

Maverick by weirdokyla

"I need a surf board, please." The voice was so quiet and musical that, for a second at least, I couldn't register the order. I looked up slowly, dragging out the moment that my eyes could rest on his. "Sorry?" "A surfboard." l couldn't comprehend this relatively straightforward command. I was so sidetracked by his face. It was long, slender; dotted with freckles and the colour of fresh caramel. The cheekbones stood out prominently from his face, and his jaw was so deep set that it appeared as if he was permanently grinding his teeth. The boy's eyes were hard, but soft somehow; the exact shade of burnt sugar, and they bored into mine questioningly, surprised, as if he were completely unaware of his beauty. I doubted that very much. I had just torn my eyes away from his hair: blonde, curly and tousled, falling over his eyes perfectly, when he coughed. "Hello any day soon?" His voice was deep and scratchy now, and it was directed right towards me. Still dazed, I reached over for the clipboard with all the rentals. "Okay, in my defence, I just started working here." He laughed, and it was so attractive that I got the heart-in-throat feeling I had only experienced with Oscar before. The boy shifted from foot to foot as I surveyed the rest of his appearance: white shirt, shorts, and an earring just poking it's way out from a curl in his hair. He fetched the surfboard and put it on the counter. The money was suddenly thrust in my direction. "Maverick." he said, not quite meeting my gaze. "Reece." I returned.

What the waves remember by ElleMc10

⚠️ Content Warning: This story contains sensitive themes, including childhood sexual abuse (not graphically depicted), addiction, mental illness, and emotional trauma. These topics are explored with care and are not meant to glorify or romanticize harm in any form. What the Waves Remember is a raw, emotionally charged family novel about love, loyalty, and the unspoken damage that lingers beneath the surface. Ava Portwood has always been the dependable one-her mother's helper, her brothers' quiet anchor, and the daughter who never disappoints. She's studying to be a nurse, trying to keep everything afloat while their mother slowly loses her battle with cancer. Her twin brother, Sam, was once the pride of their small coastal Florida town: a gifted surfer, a golden boy with a magnetic smile and Olympic dreams. But after a career-ending injury at seventeen, he spiraled into addiction and self-destruction, leaving behind a trail of wreckage-and questions no one dared to ask. Now, freshly out of rehab and back home only because their mother is dying, Sam is a hardened, quieter version of who he used to be, and the house feels smaller with all of them under one roof again. As old tensions rise and family secrets fester, Ava tries to hold together what's left of their fractured world. But the summer has only just begun, and nothing stays buried forever-not grief, not guilt, and certainly not the truth.

Warning: DARK ROMANCE Story contains detailed mature scenes possessing dubious consent not recommended for age group below 18 years old. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Prologue Shadows engulfed his angelic features oozing devilish intentions. It wasn't until he took a step towards her did the gravity of situation descended upon and even then she couldn't do anything but shake in fear. She knew making a run for it won't do a thing, calling was not an option and if she screamed...she opened her mouth to shrill but a meek plea came out. Her body's lack of response terrified her, tears gathered in her orbs with horrible anticipation. With his each step nearer she gripped the frame of her window tighter hoping to keep her balance. It took him three steps to be inches away from her body. He slowly took his suit jacket off, making himself comfortable as he amusingly watched her shaken face. She was so horror-stricken to even look at his face. She gulped as his hand cupped her neck in a gentle grip, guiding her eyes to his. His eyes slipped from the hold of her eyes to her lips in a second. She grew self conscious all over again. His heated gaze on her lips was unwavering. In the moment of bewilderment and growing self awareness her tongue unconsciously wiped her lips wet and it was all it took for him to descent on her lips. Description Had it been upto him he'd have broken her down to pieces and never put her togather, instead, he let her build herself, he watched her collapse and stand, die and live, float and drown all the while playing her body like a putty in his hand. Her husband had never been gentle, his ways was one of his kind. He read her like a book and used her spells against her. She was vividly aware of what she was getting herself into but nothing could prepare her for the don who brought everyone on his feet and she was no exception. How would she survive his ways or even would she?

Bad Boy Stole my wave (Old Version) by Molly12writing

*old version find new on my profile* "Hey Ash, can I borrow a kiss I promise I'll give it back?" Here come the pick up lines. Yay what fun. "Go do you self." "I would rather you join me. Or are to hooked up on Noah." I didn't have to see his face to now he was smirking right now. "Neither, now shut it or get sun burnt, I don't think that look will look good on you." "Every look, looks good on me princess. Do you know roses are red, violets are blue, lets sneak to the bed, and I'll join you!" I slap his back hard. "Ouch! Kiss it better will ya!" "Your an ass." "A beautiful ass, yours is nice to." Suddenly I have an idea and start to carve letters in the sun cream on his back.....

Scarred Beauty [Completed] by Love_Em_Peeps

Normal isn't a term Olivia Hernandez is familiar with. Her mother is dead to an abnormal disease, leaving her wallowing in scattered memories. Her father is abusive and never sober, leaving her treading through glass shards of beer bottles. There's too many unclear secrets her family has, and so she can only act as if that's "normal". Her eyes are bright, and yet, her skin is littered in scars. Olivia meets Alex James, the son of her mother's best friend. And where do they meet? A graveyard. How oddly compelling. When the two find each other at her mother's grave, Olivia can't help but feel close to him, even with his harsh and yet somewhat caring atmosphere. Not only are his pretty bluebell eyes alarmingly alluring, but the memories he brings back to her are even more appealing. They had a hidden past, tied together by Olivia's deceased mother and toxic father. They had a hazy future, tied together by Alex's bastard of a father and Olivia's childhood nemesis. This was their reality. A reality for a boy with the prettiest bluebell eyes and a girl who would forever be a scarred beauty. ~~~ "You told me that you loved me," I said quietly as we walked across the golden fields, out of the nightmare of a territory. I peered at him to see his eyes half-closed, as if he was fighting and struggling to keep them open. "You told me to trust you." His blue eyes glanced at me for a moment before falling back to the ground. The sun began rising behind us as we continued on our path, shining rays of gold and orange light on us. I sniffled and smiled lightly, but it was without humor. "But I don't know if I can keep this up anymore..." [ DISCLAIMER: This concept was developed during my middle school years. The plot may be seriously underdeveloped, so unless you aren't looking to read a picture-perfect book, you're not where you should be. ]

Dipping in the River 《Editing》 by StefaniJoans

"Are you sure about this?" "Oh my God, just kiss me already!" That's all it took for him to embrace my body and take me in for a deep kiss that sent fireworks burning up my skin pleasurably. Our hands were running against each other as things got more heated by the second. He felt around down my stomach and started to slowly run his hands up my shirt until he was able to make all of my insecurities start to float away and disappear. I was left with just my bra and sweatpants on. He ran his tongue and small kisses along my body from my jawline and neck to the top of my breast. He sucked down on my collar bone making foreign noises escape from my mouth. He disconnected his lips from my body abruptly and looked into my eyes with no emotion showing on his face. I looked back at him with a breathless and puzzled face. "I love you, you love me, we're a happy family." "Huh?" I looked at him with complete and udder confusion. "With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you-" I frowned when I realized what was happening. Everything went black for a moment and it lead me to open my eyes only to see the ceiling of my room. I sat up and reached over to shut my Barney song alarm off. ----- ⚠️ Mature language and mature scenes ⚠️ ----- I worked very hard on this book and I doubt you will regret reading it.

Roman, I Love You by LiterateLovers

~Completed~ "Why are you being so shy?" He whispered. "I've seen, kissed, tasted every inch of your body. There is nothing to hide." I averted my eyes feeling heat in my cheeks and hoping that he could not feel it under his fingers. He made a frustrated noise then ducked down and pressed a kiss to the base of my jaw. The fingers previously on my cheek were now tilting my head back. "Scarlett Summer," he said into my ear, "sometimes you are the most infuriating person I have ever met." "I'm sorry." I whispered. "God, why are you apologizing? It is me who should be sorry for all of the unspeakable thoughts in my mind pertaining to you. You know I was not kidding when I said I was a dominating person. I know you've experienced it first-hand. I'm too rough with you I know that. You're just so, so breakable." He whispered the last part in my ear with so much behind it. "Sometimes I think I want to break you. Just shatter you into tiny pieces." His voice was shaky as he made his confession. "Do it then." I challenged with guile, devoid of self-preservation. ********************************************************************************* Scarlett has got some issues to say the least. She lives her life in her past and she is always waiting to die. There are a few things she enjoys, like her family, but even they are a compilation of bad memories and sore spots of her past. Roman enters her life through her brother-in-law, and also ex-boyfriend, and forces just about everything to change. Love is the last she wanted. ********************************************************************************* There are some mature or triggering themes. Please be cautious and look at my tags to ensure that you are comfortable with the content. Much love xoxo -Lyse

Lilah by AshlynPope

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)
