Her eyes misted over as she stared at the happy couple. "Do you think that'll be us one day?" She sighed, leaning back into him. 

Leaning down, he nuzzled his face in her neck and wrapped his arms around her middle, breathing in the vanilla scent of her shampoo. "My heart beats for you and you only. I'll stand by your side no matter what, for as long as you'll have me."

She turned around in his arms in lightning speed, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Did you just propose to me?"

"It depends whether you want to be proposed to or not." He shrugged, pulling her closer to him as their bodies swayed to the rhythm of the slow song.  

She attempted to scowl but couldn't control her smile. "I guess we won't know that until it actually happens."

The song came to an end then, and all couples pulled away to clap for the newly weds whom had just finished their first dance. 

Once it had quietened down and the live band started the next song, he merely smirked in response, untangled himself from her and began walking in the direction of the open bar. "I guess so."

Love and War by dstry0515

"All's fair in love and war, or some shit, right?" He said, his smirk drawing to a slight sneer as he padded towards the open balcony. He rested his hands on the guardrail before letting out an exasperated sigh, thunder rolling behind it. The rain cascaded onto the tile in sheets, blowing the soft cream curtains back and forth. "Or some shit." I smiled, walking towards him. I could see the tension grow in his back and shoulders, his struggle evident. I placed my hand gently on his shoulder, trying my best to reassure him. I could feel his breathing hitch slightly at my touch; his response was all I needed to reassure me I was doing the right thing. My touch was welcomed. I leaned my head on his back, wrapping my hands around his waist. I longed to take away his pain; I hated seeing anyone this upset. She wasn't worth his time. He said so himself- he's never found a woman worth changing plans for. Maybe he meant since her, I can't be sure. I am, however, hoping to show him that, one day, that woman might be me. ****** Jeanie is a spunky assistant living in Atlanta. With a spotty past and a knack for telling it like it is, she's found herself stuck with a string of dead-end jobs and nothing to show for her sacrifices. She had always been an over-emotional, over-thinking, anxiety filled woman. The last 13 years of her life consisted of fear until, one day, it didn't. She took her life back. With the start of a new job, she moved thousands of miles from her home- from her past. Join her as she discovers the most important relationship she'll ever have- the one with herself. *This story contains mature situations and lots of swearing, proceed with caution.

"You wanted to say something." I knew why she was here, but I pretended to be surprised. Despite her intelligence and beauty, she seemed nervous. Her eyes darted around the room as if she were afraid to be overheard. "What is it?" I asked, urging her on. I studied her face, searching for clues. Her usual playful demeanor was replaced by a seriousness that intrigued me. "You've been avoiding me," I stated flatly. She hesitated, her eyes wide. "Hmm," she mused, "something really important." I nodded encouragingly. Her words were like a bomb going off in my head. My world tilted on its axis as she tried to explain the shocking truth. I was so stunned, her explanation was a blur. --------------------- "You're hot, you know" "I know." He said nodding in amusement and continued again eyeing me "But I didn't know that you can be this bold too." "I know." I said making both of us chuckle. I slowly came more near him and held his hands and placed my head on his shoulder. He smiled seeing this. I continued the conversation saying "We're equal now." He chuckled again and a comfortable silence took place between us. Out of nowhere I just wished to kiss him on his cheeks and did so. He was shocked for a second but again composed himself and arched his eyebrow on me while a small smirk playing on his lips. "Eager enough?" He said making me blush. "I don't want anymore dirty stuff with you." I said without seeing him in his eyes because I knew I will fuck up if I see him right now. "Yeah? Well, that is where I'm talented much more than this world knows." He said chucking. "So cocky you are." I said looking in his eyes with a bad face. "We know that babe." He said shifting his gaze from me to down of him. And when I understood what he meant, I shifted away from him making him laugh. "Go away. You're so bad. Don't touch me. Go. Shoo." I said, slapping his hands. #5 amendment on 7 June, 2024 #383 forever on 31 August, 2024 #104 Indian story on 2 August, 2024

Guilty as Sin by wcnda616

"Do I make you nervous?" she asked with a small teasing smirk. I shook my head in denial, my increased heart rate suggesting otherwise. She took a few steps closer to me and placed her hands on my desk, leaning forward to search my eyes for the truth. Neither of us said anything for a few beats until the smile on her lips grew and a darkness shadowed her eyes, my thoughts consumed with anything apart from the women in front of me. "If you don't breathe some time soon, you're going to pass out darling," she told me quietly. I let out a shaky breath through my nose and lightly bit my cheek, "I should go." She hummed and nodded, leaning further down, her breasts desperate to escape the hold of her tight shirt. My eyes shot down quickly before looking back up at hers. "Go on then," she teased, her eyes narrowing as I shook my head once more. The next thing I knew, her lips were on mine and nothing else seemed to matter. ___ gxg wanda x reader (irl setting) teacher x student

Trapped In Love ✓ by StellaAdamsHere

"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god! What have I gotten myself into? •••• Aaron Steele, the CEO of the multi billionaire Steele's Company was the eligible bachelor of 25. He always had his way among girls and having blue eyes, a chiseled jaw and a hot body, didn't help either. With new woman on her arms every other day, he was obviously not planning on falling on that cliché word also called love, but would his thoughts of not falling in love still remain the same, after meeting her? Sienna Collins was a girl of 22 with extremely shy personality. After completing her graduation, the only thing in her mind was to get a good job and settle on her own, but what she didn't expected was a job at Steele's Company. This is a story of the innocent and the sinful. Read inside to find out what happens when two persons from exactly opposite worlds collide together. #I would suggest 14+ to read this story as some part in the book contains mature scenes. ~ # 37 in Romance #12 in humor *I am not a grammer nazzy, so there would be grammatical mistakes.*

Paradise To Hell///Book 2 by FallenKen

Laurance(MyStreet) X Reader I woke up to hear mumbling. I looked over at (Y/N). Her hands had tighten into fists. This has been happening a lot the last week. She had tears on the edge of her eyes. I brushed a lock of her hair off her beautiful face. Her breathing was becoming irregular. I grabbed her hands and rubbed circles into them. I learned from my past experiences with this to just loosen the tighten muscles, to relieve some of the stress instead of waking her up. She sat up quickly, pulling her hands away from me and placing them over her heart. Her breathing was heavy as she took in deep breaths. "Are you okay?" I asked. She glanced over at me. "Yeah. Just another dream..." some of the tears ran down her cheeks. "You ready to talk about it?" I asked, playing a hand on her back. She tensed. "N-No. Not this one..." she trailed off. "Okay... you do know I love you... right?" I asked. She nodded. "Good. You also know you don't have to be afraid to share these thing with me." "I know..." she sighed.

What I wished was true by kamiB11

"BET! Now leave me alone and don't ever talk to me again!" I say with hot tears running down my face as I slam the car door shut. Kameron walks out the door while Jake goes in. "Don't ever try to control me when I did absolutely nothing!" I throw at Kameron. I run up to my room and cry on my bed until I hear a knock. I hear footsteps and feel Carter's warm hands on my cold arms. "Go save another damsel in distress," I mutter. "No because that would be disappointing." I sit up and look Carter in the eyes. "You idiot. You shouldn't have listened to me. You should've taken me to the hospital for stitches hat morning you should've-" I'm cut off when he kisses me. It's a soft kiss yet, it felt like he'd been inside of a hole and this was his only way out. He pulled away after 25 seconds or so, smiled kissed my forehead, and left my room. Follow Embry and how her life gets all kinds of twisted up.

Meanwhile her lips pouted as partly the song's line jingled in her ears by sighing. All of a sudden, the common's room double doors opened as the younger man was walking towards the blonde by drawing her attention, transfixing her gape at his as her mouth was agape. "He kept his promise?" A rhetorical question echoed in her mind by widening her pair of hazelish-brown irises. "T-Timothy!" The former sister of the church murmured timidly as soon as he offered her a benevolent smile. "Good morning, Jude!" He placed his mammoth, surprsingly warm hand on the top of her shoulder by ushering her to get from her seat as she took a final drag of her cigarette, before stubbing it out in the ashtray. "Morning, Timothy!" At the moment, he took off his thick coat by drapping it on her shoulders as he dangled a muscular, strong arm around her shoulder as she was accompanying him out of the common room. She obediantly held the coat by the lapels, without peeling like a snake of her frail, trembling of the cold climate skeleton as she was dressed up in nothing more than her amber cardigan and stone blue patient, rigid gown. "Why thank you!" She expressed her gratitude as they were pacing in the long, abysmal hallway of Briarcliff. Slight, radiant smile curled up in the corner of her lips. Jude lost almost everything but not the hope of being rescued. Timothy keeps his promises as he resigns from the church, flee along from Briarcliff's morbid madness and at last but not least, moving somewhere to create their own family and spend the rest of their days as family people. How their lives will change? Will they accomplish genuine happiness together?

Book 2 "Anything?" He whispered smirking again. "Yes." She whispered shakily, knowing what the possibilities could be. "I want children." He stated, continuing to caress her neck with his lips. She bit her lip as they trembled. It was the one thing she didn't want yet, but if it meant she would be allowed to go to University then she would do it. She nodded in response, unable to say the word. He stopped and grabbed her hand, tugging her up to their room. She obediently climbed on the bed and laid down in the middle, closing her eyes tightly. Samir straddled her thighs, biting his lip as he stared down at his wife. She was beautiful. She wasn't skinny, but she wasn't fat either. She was somewhere in between, her stomach had a soft curve to it and she was gifted at the top and bottom. He spread her legs, pushing his muscly thigh between hers, leaning over her again. Behind her closed eyes, she could feel tears of fear forming at what would happen. He was touching her rather gently, she preferred if he would just hurry and finish the process, but it seemed he had other ideas. "I'm going to impregnate you one after the other baby-doll." He whispered in her ear, biting her earlobe. She gasped, opening her eyes wide. "I won't be able to study!" She stated shocked as she felt his warm fingers tickle her stomach. "Too late. You already agreed." He smirked against her neck. ♡°•●○___________________________○●•°♡ Zahara, a sweet girl who has just turned 18, was very bright and had a lot of hopes and dreams for her future.

"Marry me Tzuyu" "so what's your answer soon to be...?" "Hey, I heard that we will have a new principal." "An old man again? "No, I heard he's in his early 20s and he's hot as f-ck." "To be honest if he's that hot I wouldn't mind doing that" Elkie admits while Tzuyu gives her a disgusted look. "Hello, students. I'm your new principal and the great-grandchild of the founder of the college Jeon Jungkook." Tzuyu looked up to see the person she wasn't expecting to see him. "Saranghae," He said, connecting her lips with him "Nado saranghae." Tzuyu opened her eyes to see Elkie waking her up, Tzuyu noticed the surroundings and smiled sadly "it was just a dream..." "break up with Jungkook" "I'm sorry but what are you saying?" "I hate you," Tzuyu said as she chugged the whole bottle of Soju. Tzuyu was walking, taking each step on the pillar. "titanic" Natalie whispered into Tzuyu's ears. "Titanic," he said instantly as soon as he saw the pose "GIRLS! Slap her NOW!" one of the minions came forward to slap Tzuyu. "S-Sir. She w-was lying." Tzuyu's heart is beating abnormally while butterflies are dancing in her stomach. " well your flight is 8 pm so you checking in at 6:30, basically you have 5 hours left" Jungkook nodded and called his maid to tell her to pack his clothes. " Jungkooks office to settle things between us," Tzuyu said. "so wait you don't know?" Tzuyu halted her steps Tzuyu didn't want to waste any time, time had been wasted already Tzuyu had no time to spare, Tzuyu grabbed Elkie's motorcycle keys as Tzuyu started running towards the exit "but you can stop him" Tzuyu immediately looked up confusingly while he smiled and looked at his watch The word Tzuyu heard made her heart stop "plane 1307 took off" The security lady loosened her grip on her hands as Tzuyu fell to her knees, tears continued to stream down her eyes like a waterfall as it started to stain her dress, Tzuyu looked through the window looking at the empty sky.

Dear Significant Other by RandomKaahani

Featured by @AmbassadorsIN .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·. "I don't think we will meet, ever! You are just messing around." He texted, frustration evident from his text. "I swear on my camera. This assignment came up last minute! I am so desperate to see you! SERIOUSYL!." Proofreading wasn't her thing. "You mean 'seriously' ?" He added the 'eye roll' emoji. "See! You get me! Now, do you believe me? I ain't fooling around!" She smirked while adding the same emoji. "But I wanna fool around!" He inserted three wink emojis, making his intentions clear. She rolled her eyes, but a pink hue on her cheeks said a different story altogether. "I think we should do this..." She typed as she lay on the couch. "Shoot!" "Whenever we meet, we meet for the full day. From morning to evening, sunrise to moon-set, we can do whatever we feel like doing! We either stay in or go out, whatever our hearts say. But that'd be our first and last meeting!" She hesitated before hitting the send button. "And then we never meet again?" "Nope." "You're suggesting what exactly all guys want from their 'first' dates!" He grinned. "Some girls like that too ;)" She shook her head and backspaced. "I don't know about all boys." "Are" "You" "In?" He could feel her smirk across the screen. Without meeting her or watching her face, he knew her well enough to understand her emotions. "I'm so in! 24 hours and then never again. Sounds so perfect!" "Final then! We only meet once and then never see each other ever again!" She blushed another pink while typing. He smiled reading that.
