My name is Lyra Daniels.
After graduating from high school and university, I was lucky to find a job.
I love my job but there's one thing that's bothering me.
For the past three years that I've been attending our New Years' Eve party, there has always been a guy who somehow manages to catch my eye.
The weird part? He would disappear and I would only see him each New Years Eve.

"Happy New Year!!"
Everywhere I looked I heard and saw everyone cheering, laughing, sending wishes and kissing.
Turning my head to wish my friend a Happy New Year, I was met with soft lips against my own.
It was the type of kiss that makes you close your eyes instantly and surrender completely.
When those lips left mine, I opened my eyes and to my surprise it was the mystery colleague in front of me.
I blinked to be sure and he was gone.

I look up at him, his face nothing but a hazy memory. His head is tilted down towards me and I think about how odd it must be for him too. If we kissed, would we find each other's lips? Would it be as natural as breathing? He's mere inches from me and just the presence of his body is suffocating. I don't even have to see his face to know how well he makes my body react. Goosebumps trickling down my arms, and the hairs on the back of my neck rising like sunflowers facing the sun. It's as if I can really see his face. His features and the looks he gives. It's so familiar, so in-tune with me, that I feel like I've always seen it. I can feel his eyes set on me, my figure under his gaze. I can feel the tension in the air and I'm not even sure if I'm breathing. "That necklace around your neck," he scoffs. "What about it?" I ask, my voice low. "I've seen it every single time I've seen you and it drives me insane. It's the one thing I can see below your face." Something clicks into place for me. The puzzle pieces align, and I feel alive. "Then take it off and put your hand there, I can wear that instead," I grin. __ Scarlett Moore. A university student trying to make it past the struggles of life, friends, and a love life labeled hell. But to her aid, a man from her dreams clouds her mind and a little too much of her heart. Every night he visits her, comforting her from a cruel world and harsh realities. The life she lives with him in her sleep becoming a little too real. Just how attached is she to a man who isn't even real? What happens when she can't tell the difference between a memory and a fantasy? __

It was just a normal day for the school's established rich and openly gay hottie, Kayden Parker, when all of sudden he gets a whole load of smirks, heated gazes and cocky smiles thrown his way from an unknown Greek God that was probably trying fuck shit up for him, he definitely seemed to be the type... ---I felt a heated glare on my shoulders, you know, that weird feeling you get when you know someone's watching you. I turned my head around to see Greek God staring at me, a smirk adorning his pale pink lips. Why does this guy have to smirk all the time and look so good while doing it? No! No, this is not happening Kayden, get your shit together, you are not into him. I realised I was staring when his smirk was set deeper than before. I blushed but I stared right back at him, I didn't want him to think I was weak because I know I'm far from it. Besides, he started it! He winked and turned his head away. Wait what? Did he just wink at me? Holy fuck!--- So, the question will remain unanswered, will Kayden Parker cave or will he resist? (So yeah hope you guys decide to read and enjoy it :) )Complete

Teach Me, Professor
"Teach me, then. Please, you are the only one who would understand. I-" He closed in on me, towering over me with his great brown dark eyes. Full of desire, hunger. He was fighting it. Just as I have. I could feel it which meant he could too. "You won't like it-" "Yes, I will. Come on Sebastian-" His hand came over my lips, pushing me up against the wall. Hearing an abundance of footsteps from outside his classroom. Once they had left, he released me from his hold. His fiery eyes setting ablaze in my green ones.

A Beauty In Darkness (completed)
"Don't you wish you could see the world?" Ryan asks me. "Sometimes, I wish to see who I'm talking to! But this is how it has to be." I whisper, I feel like I could memorize his facial features. "No it doesn't Faith!" He whispers. "Why do you care so much? I'm nothing special, You'll forget about me?!" I demand, as I stood up about to walk away. "Because you intrigue me! I want to help you see me! And you've made me fall in love with you!" Ryan says. "No you can't love a freak like me! You can have better people.

Unhinged
"Silly boy - you dare ask me that question?" I frown at him instantly - taken aback when he gripped my chin. Yanking me close enough towards him, our lips almost touched. The look in his eyes was one I've seen in wild animals who can't control their animalistic behaviors. Except this one was different...it held desire - which I wasn't for at all. "I became Unhinged because of you." That's when I saw him begin to lean towards me, and wasn't having this any longer. I shove my hand onto his lips right when he was about to kiss me. My eyes glaring into his despite the risks of me doing so. "I refuse for my first kiss to be from someone like you." I growl at him, his eyes widening in shock. That's when I push him back and got off of the couch. I saw him watching me with feral eyes that told me I probably angered him even more. Possibly heightening the chances of my removal from this horrid competition. Except I'm not like the other contestants here. Having him isn't my dream, my dream is helping my family - and being here does that. I could care less if he becomes Unhinged. Especially if it's because of me. *read "Prologue" for story description* 😊💕Complete
Finding Obsidian
He brushed his lips against my jaw, his dark hair falling over his brow. "Open your eyes," he commanded. "Look at me." I followed his orders and looked into the raven-black depths before me. I saw my entranced gaze reflected in his glaring one. "Tell me what you see." I kept on looking at him, searching for something, anything, that remained of the person he used to be. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. But his eyes were so dark, so empty . . . "Nothing. I see nothing," I whispered. He smirked, his gaze still on me. He pulled away, leaving me feeling cold. "Exactly. You see nothing - that's because there's nothing there." ** How much can a person change in just three years?
