"I can't be just friends with you," he whispered bringing his hand against my cheek cupping it slightly.
"McCormick," I sighed. I leaned in a little to his touch. Probably making the situation worse but I couldn't help it. It felt so good.
"One last kiss that's all I ask". He said before leaning in slightly. His eyes grazed to my lips and back to mine.

After a long summer of trying to get over heartbreak, Kennedy and her friends are back for more. It's senior year and more than anything Kennedy wants to put her past behind her and ignore all of her feelings for her next door neighbor Cal McCormick.
This school year has more in store for Kennedy than college acceptance letters and school dances. Will she continue to swim past the lingering feelings she keeps trying to bottle up or will they come to surface causing her to sink further into the deep end?

Catching The Playboy | ✔️
When a girl gets a complete makeover, the hot guy is supposed to start liking her. Not Forrest Stephens. He merely gave me a once-over, said "nice outfit", and walked right past me. Maybe being his friend was the problem. But now that other guys started noticing me, he's gotten protective-demanding I don't date them without his permission, and touching me in ways that makes everyone think I'm off-limits. · · ─ ·✶· ─ · · "Spencer," his caress over my name brought the smallest blush, the events of last night flashing through my mind like a movie. His knuckles brushed my cheek. Angling his head, he studied me, eyes narrowing in a way that was uncomfortably critical. "You're blushing," he noted. He was so close I caught a whiff of his wintergreen gum. In that moment I wanted to disappear. "I'm not," I denied. "You are," he countered, leaning in. "Your cheeks are pink. You're not into me-are you?" 𝚃𝚘𝚙 𝚁𝚊𝚗𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜: #1 𝚓𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚢 #1 𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚢𝚎𝚛Lengkap

COMPLETED 5.14.18 SEQUEL TO MY BROTHERS BEST FRIEND Book 2/4 of the Adam's series - "I promise, I will ask you soon enough." He kisses my lips gently before smiling again and letting go. "What?" I ask, confused at why he had stopped kissing me. His grin becomes larger, "Sorry, I'm just imagining what our kids would look like and holy shit, those are some cute kids." "Well, the faster we get married, the faster we can have a baby. I'm down to have a kid or kids with you Garrett." "I should have recorded that for blackmail," he chuckles before kissing my neck gently making my body tingled at his touch. His phone starts to buzz in his pants, "Damnit!" He pulls it out and clicks the answer button. "Yes?...Okay?...Now?...Okay...I'll be there soon." He ends the call before collapsing on top of me.

Into the Velvet
*EDITORS' CHOICE 2021*After falling for her senior year teacher, Louise learns a harsh lesson on what adulthood isn't. Louise has some trauma to unpack. Heartbreak's a bitch, and her first relationship had been anything but normal. Thinking herself mature for her age, her affair with Mr. Cain started swooningly well. Except things ended quite abruptly. It's a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. But who's really at fault for what happened? Who even is Mr. Cain, and what is he hiding? From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering. Every inch of me pulsed with an ache that began from the marrow of my bones. Fate had brought us here. At this crossroads of ours, there were a hundred different choices to make. A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."Lengkap

The Preston Playboys
I think that sometimes the universe likes to play sick jokes on people. Like sometimes you drop the ice cream you've been craving on the floor before you're able to get a bite or you crack the screen of your brand new cell phone. Or sometimes you get the first detention of your life on the same day your middle school bully comes back from a delinquent school and get locked in the library with him and his brothers (who you haven't talked to since the 8th grade.) Yep. The universe just loved playing sick jokes on Thea Caruso. ~~~ Thea Caruso had spent her entire childhood with her 2 best friends Kevin & Devin Preston but like every young friendship it slowly got to the point where they wouldn't even acknowledge each other in school. She didn't hold anything against them. It's just how things go. Strangers to Friends to Best Friends to Strangers. There is one Preston that she does have ill feelings for. Marc Preston. The troublesome younger triplet that had always made Thea's life a living hell and he's back and ready to start his reign of terror. There's only one problem... Thea Caruso isn't the same girl he picked on in 8th grade. She isn't scared to bite back now. { Book 4 of The Preston Series }Lengkap
The Hookup (Book #1)
***COMPLETE*** Book #1 in the Hookup series "You're incredibly sexy Emily" I feel sexy, especially when he's looking at me like that. I could melt into a puddle right here from the way his body is pressed so close to mine and the way his eyes are taking me in. "Hunter," I say in warning as his hand snakes further up my thigh. "Tell me to stop and I'll stop," He says as he pulls me down and nuzzles my hair. "But just remember this is a one-time thing and nobody has to find out about it if you don't want them to." By nobody I know he means Tara. She would literally disown me if she ever found out something had happened between me and one of her brothers. It's girl code, right? You can't sleep with or have any sexual relations with relatives, exes or anyone that your best friend deems unfit.

Trust the timing
'Spending almost two years imprisoned instead of enjoying college life wasn't at the top of my wish list. Coming back home to my sisters' birthday party and finding her dancing with Kate Banks, her best friend, was... I wanted her to be waiting for me, I wanted her to jump in my arms as soon as she saw me. That was till I saw her kissing Ethan Moon in front of everyone. That's when I knew that what happened two years ago before I left hadn't shook her as it did me. I told myself I could live without her, or at least I thought I could before realizing I was going to share the same class with her...' *the story has dual povs *this story contains mature language and content ❤️🔥 *note that English is not my first language, so, please, bear with me while reading 📖 *cover pic from Pinterest
Bad Timing
"How could you do this to me?! I trusted you! You arrogant, selfish, asshole!!" I shouted with teary eyes and sadness in my voice. I looked at his face and was covered with nothing else but anger. He grabbed my shoulders and pulled me roughly against his body. That's when he crushed his lips to mine. His kiss was urgent, claiming, rough. His lips claimed mine with anger as he was like punishing me for what I said. No! That's when I snapped. I pushed him away and started hitting him in his hard chest. He leaned his forehead against mine still holding me tight like he's was afraid of letting me go. He let out a breath and signed. "I couldn't.. I..just..did" he blurted out without looking me in the eyes with pain in his voice the heartbreaking, unforgiven truth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Angel is the definition of the 'girl-next-door'.

Stung By You
I just close my eyes. Feeling him. Smelling him. Just existing close to him. My fingers clutch at his shirt, like it's the only thing keeping me from doing something reckless. Something completely, irrevocably stupid. Like kissing my son's best friend. And it feels so wrong. Oh God. So damn wrong. But then- His thumb shifts against my skin. A slow, lazy stroke. And suddenly, it feels so right. SO DAMN RIGHT. I breathe in too sharply. Mistake. He notices. Of course, he notices. His grip on my hips tightens. "You always this tense?" I force out a breath. "You always this annoying?" Leo laughs under his breath. "Only when I'm right." I tilt my head, and his eyes are already waiting for me-dark, unreadable, impossibly close. His fingers brush just above my waist. Barely there, but enough. Enough to make me hyper-aware of how easy it'd be to- "You wear this every night, don't you?" It takes me half a second to register what he means. The hoodie. His hoodie. *** 💔 She never expected to fall for him. 🔥 He never stopped waiting for her. 🏡 But some love stories don't follow the rules. Jenny Thompson moved to start fresh. A new neighborhood, a new home, a new beginning. What she didn't expect? Leo Mitchell. Her son's best friend. Fifteen years younger. And looking at her like she's something he's never stopped wanting. She tells herself it's nothing. She tells herself it can't happen. But then- 💬 "I don't know how to stop wanting this." 🔥 "Then don't." 📖 A slow-burn, emotional age-gap romance about love, healing, and the risk of wanting more. ** Taboo. Age gap. Off-limits tension. A love that shouldn't exist-but try stopping it.**Lengkap
