darcy hotel love romance thelonious university wattys2021

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.

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.*

Arranged: Betrothed by 0SatansLittleAngel0

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.

Paper Flowers by RandomKaahani

Featured by @Romance .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·. "Why do you make these paper flowers?" He asked, looking at her through the mirror. "They don't wither like the real ones." She replied, aligning the entire bunch of paper flowers. "But they don't have the fragrance." He politely challenged her. He was a soldier. Chivalrous was his middle name. "These paper flowers, they stay with you for as long as you want. You don't really have to throw them away like people discard the real ones. They pluck them for the fragrance and colors. But once that fades, they throw it away." She said, finally looking up at him. "Not everyone!" He added almost immediately, taking one more step forward. It could be his height or his longer stride, or maybe the room was too small as it only took him two steps to reach her. "Yeah! Of course! Exceptions are there, like poets and people in love." She walked in a different direction, putting those flowers on the table. He rolled his eyes with a defeated sigh. She was a teacher. Arguing with her was as futile as making a sand castle on a seashore. "You know, gone is the era when people used to preserve the flowers of their loved ones. We don't have people like that anymore!" She said as she faced him. "We don't have that kind of love anymore." He said looking straight into her eyes. She held his gaze through the mirror for a while, trying to read through him. "I agree." Murmuring under her breath, she turned around. Taking a deep breath, watching her retreating figure, he brought out his favorite poetry book from the shelf. After he was sure she was not looking, he ruffled through the pages till he found a dried Hibiscus. The very same one which had fallen from her bag when he first saw her. With a small smile, he cautiously caressed the petals. He closed the book with a fond sigh and found her looking at him. She couldn't hold his gaze for long and looked down, crimson covering her cheeks. He shook his head with a chuckle.

Hotel Transylvania - Zinged Fate by KaileyRose039

Based off of hotel Transylvania. Romance. Short Story. Book 1. The Count is the sequel to this story. - I tense up as Maven spins me around to face him. His eyes glistening with salty tears, or what I presume to be. Johnny stays hunched behind me, his shoulders shaking as he holds back his own tears. I stare at Maven, my heart felt like it was being crushed at the site of his broken expression. "Is it true? Are you a human?" I look down and sigh, the grayish pale makeup on my hands smeared showing my natural skin. "Yes." He sucks in a sharp breath as he places his hands gently on mine pulling them up between our bodies. "I don't care, I still wanna be with you." he lets go of one hand and cups my face in the other. I couldn't help but smile softly as his eyes lit up, a gentle loving smile on his face as he rubs a finger on my cheek. I look past him towards Dracula's fear filled eyes. I felt my throat close up when I realized what I had to do. I pull Maven's hand away from my face and release our laced fingers stepping back. I avert my eyes and glare at the ground. "I-I don't want to be with you. Because you're a blood sucking monster. I hate monsters." I seethe out, all the anger in my tone directed at myself. My heart in my throat when feel Johnny grab my wrist pulling me away from Maven, his eyes widen just slightly as a single tear drips down his pale face. "You don't mean that." he utters, his voice shaking. "Goodbye Maven." I force a stern tone to my voice as I don't spare him a glance, Johnny pulling me out of the ballroom. When the doors slam shut behind me I let my emotions go. I let out a sob that wracked my body in full tremors. I fall into Johnny's side as he sighs and squeezes my shoulder walking us both out of the main entrance to the hotel. - Viewer Discretion Advised, how? because I wrote it.

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.

"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
