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."

"You won't f*cking call him?!" She yelled, her voice evolved in a new level of dangerousness and antagonism. I kept on sobbing and shook my head but she just laughed like a psychopath. "Really? You dare defy---" "Stop it please! Calling him is like asking me to kill him. I can't carry his blood on my shoulder forever he's my f*cking boyfriend! My man!" I snapped and what she did next stole breath away from me. She grabbed a handful of my hair and tugged. She pulled me a few feet across the cement floor and I could hear Amina's scream in the midst of the chaos in my mind. "God she'll pull my hair out of my head" I thought I whined as one of her men threw me in the middle of the floor and I crashed to the ground. She finally grabbed my left upper arm and pulled me up to stand on my wobbling legs. Natalie slapped me hard on my face and I fell back on the floor. "I am sick and tired of your brave front! What a stubborn bitch. You've gotten enough on my nerves and I have no choice but to kill you. Now say your goodbyes to this unfair world Miss Conway"Complete

He crossed his arms over his chest, aligning his muscles and raising his ash polo shirt, giving her a great view of his Calvin Klein boxers. Being a chicken, she avoided his steamy gaze and gave an excuse to use the toilet. She ran into the master bedroom and stared into the mirror. Her flushed reflection didn't deflect the daring gaze Jonathan had burned into her. "I thought people only ran when they were chased." He spoke from the door, his lean body relaxed against the frame. His voice teased her and pleased her. He moved closer before she could utter a lame excuse. He stopped less than a foot away from her. She cranked her neck to look boldly at him. She could feel his breath on her face, but he still didn't touch her. So why could she feel him everywhere? *------------------------------------------------* Best Rankings on RTF: 26/08/2021: #3 Romamcereads2020 06/07/2021: #1 Africa 23/01/2021: #2 Amazon 22/02/2020: #1 Phoniexquill2019 03/05/2020: #1 Taa2019 #1 Projectnaija #5 Amazon #1 Assassin 20/05/2020: #5 BestBooksOnWattpad 14/06/2020: #1 Africabookclub #5 Hotline 16/08/2022 ~ 1/11/2022: #1 Proudnigerian Edited by ©IgweSharonstone ©IgweSharonstone.2019 Disclaimer: the picture in the cover photo doesn't belong to me in any way.Complete

So amazing carved face, top two button of his shirt was open showing the outline of his hard chest. Rinky gulped hard, his nearness always makes her weak. "Like what you see?"

He looked down at her his eyes landed on the V of her shirt, he wanted to caresses and kiss those creamy smooth skin but he shook this thought and slightly leaned on her "why are you stuttering tigress, are you scared of me?" he asked in a low tone his lips touching her ear lobe. "Rinky Khanna is scared of Karan Oberoi." He laughed winking at her.

"No I am not; I am not scared of anyone" she said proudly. Karan arched his brow "I dare you, say yes for this fake engagement and prove me wrong my little tigress" he said in low voice, he looked down at her, his voice was serious and his eyes were daring her to say yes and prove herself.

What the Heart wants (BWWM) | Wattys2016
Elizabeth Brooks Sam's restaurant, LA "With love comes happiness and heartache. If it's done right, it'll be worth the entire trauma and the pain. If it's done wrong, it will stay with you forever. "Remember, you can love a fool or let a fool love you, but never let love fool you. You are stronger than you think. You are wiser than you illustrate and you have more passion than your heart is able to handle. Are you listening, Lizzy?" Sara looked at Elizabeth from across the restaurant table after scanning the menu. "Sorry, my ears reject all bullshit. Love isn't real, it's an illusion. Only pathetic losers fall in love, remember that!" she spat, signaling the waiter. Sarah looked at her best friend with sadness and pity in her eyes. Jake Carter CarTel Inc., LA "Jake" Jason called as he spotted his exit from the elevator. "What is it now Jason?" Jake asked not bothering to look over his shoulder. He collected his messages from his secretary and entered into his office. "I need a favor" Jason smiled guilty "When do you not?" He sighed, sitting behind his large desk. He rested his leather briefcase on the ground beside his chair and turned back to his best friend. "What?" "Can I get the rest of the day off?" "Did you finish the Lodge Hotel proposal?" Jake wondered. "That's where the favor comes in. I'll have it for you tomorrow early in the morning but I have to get somewhere..." Jake placed his head in hand and groaned "I should fire you" Jake muttered. "That's the beauty of a partnership, you can't. Plus, you're lucky I'm giving you a heads up instead of just leaving" Jason chuckled, sitting on the front of Jake's desk. Jake leaned back into his chair as he bit down repeatedly on his pen. "I feel so fortunate. Tomorrow, I'm serious Jason. No more fucking a round. I need this done." Jason raised his palms up in defense "you have my word." He promised standing to his feet.Complete
This Town |NH|
"I want to dance with you in the middle of this street." She laughed at me, "Why on earth would you do that?" "Because I said I would." I twirled her around and pulled her back to me as I began to sing softly into her ear, "If the whole world was watching, I'd still dance with you; Drive highways and byways to be there with you. Over and over, the only truth: everything comes back to you." She pulled away from me and looked at me. "Niall--" "Siobhan, stop. Before you say anything, please let me say this first. I've been wanting to say this to you for I don't even know how long. And it's something I should've said a long, long time ago." She let go of me and stepped back. She looked at me inquisitively before saying, "Okay." I looked at her, she was finally going to let me say everything I had been longing to say. Now was my chance, and whatever the outcome, I would force myself to be content with it. I took a deep breath and began.....Complete

Dear Significant Other

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.Complete
His Bride
When negotiated marriage turned out to be more than that... Just a little tiny sneak peek: Declan seemed to have trouble expressing himself. I was glad he managed to show his real feelings to me. I pulled Declan to me and wrapped my arms around his waist. He returned the hug; his breath tickled the side of my cheek, "Thea..." "I know," I breathed, "I know," I felt the wedding ring sitting on my finger. I wasn't ashamed to admit that I was falling hard for Declan. ____________ I groaned when she grind her lower part on my hard-on. She smiled when I response. "Thea, that isn't fair," "What's fair?" She retorted, kissing down my neck and I let out a satisfied groan, "Alright alright. You win, he stays!" I was going to bring it further but she pulled back and jumped away from me with a teasing smile, "What should we name him?" I glared at Thea, "Tease. Name him Tease,"Complete
Shut Up And Kiss Me (Loki x Darcy)
Darcy has a habit of making questionable decisions, but when she's offered a job that she'll actually be paid for -- and by the Avengers, no less -- she accepts without hesitation, hoping to advance her career and maybe be taken a bit more seriously too. But she didn't realise the job consists of basically being a glorified 'babysitter' (or Mischief-Minder) to Loki, who has returned to Earth with his big brother. Needless to say, neither of them are too impressed by the situation, especially Loki, who's virtually under house-arrest and now at the mercy of a taser-happy intern. Then the most unexpected thing happens. The pair actually start to get along. This is set after Thor: Ragnarok but in an AU (we're just going to forget about all that Infinity War business for now!) Highest relevant Wattpad Rankings: #1 Darcy Lewis #1 TaserTricks #2 LokixDarcy *WARNING* Contains some adult content (scenes of a sexual nature) and infrequent use of mildly strong language.Complete
