He swallows, taking a small step forwards towards me, "I know it's really hard to believe my words right now. But I would never intentionaly hurt you like I did. I keep my promises, and I uphold them as much as I can. And I meant every word of my apology Eliza, back then at the rink, and now at your door."
 
"Your apology can't change the past, it can't heal the wounds you made." I reply quietly. 

"No, but time can. And I am going to do every fucking thing I can to prove to you how much I meant what I said." 

"It's a waste of time."  
 
"Not mine," He lets a singular heartbeat pass before continuing, "I think you're worth every second of it."

- the first few chapters are a teeny bit cringe, but my writing does develop as the story progresses :)
- I will come back once I've finished the story to re-edit and improve earlier chapters!

~This book is currently finished but is ongoing for editing and changes~ I continue to look at him and his dark, blue eyes were burning through me, maintaining contact with mine as they didn't dare move away. He sure knows how to hold contact. My body was burning, every inch of it, I could feel it. It was getting way too warm in here. This man was making me feel things I didn't even know that was capable. I needed him. I certainly wanted him. I watched his gaze move down onto my lips as he pulls his bottom lip between his teeth. I didn't even notice how close he was to me until he stepped forward, closing the gap between us. I'm also baring in mind that my brother and his friends are literally right next door and here we are, being this extremely close to each other. That's what makes this even more nerve racking. One hand was holding my hip and his other hand was secured on my thigh, preventing me from falling down from the counter, his nose beginning to lightly touch the tip of mine as he lowered his forehead closer to me. The low part of my belly was aching him. I wanted him to do something. To fulfil my needs. I don't know where the hell the courage came from as the next two words fell out of me. "Kiss me." *** Aurora Rianne. A girl with painful memories from a troubled past that she does not like to be reminded of. But she can't help it as the nightmares continue to remind her of them when she falls asleep. She tries so hard to run away but they always reach her. Lyle Anderson. A man, also with a troubled past that's led him to have insomnia, but he does not like to talk about it. Nobody knows. He's never opened up to anyone. Until she came into his life. He finds himself feeling comfort in her presence and opens up, something he never thought he was capable of. When Aurora and Lyle meet, they don't know that the solution to their problems was each other. *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes

"W-we can't d-do this." I said shakily as he locks the door behind him and it immediately shut off the noises of the drunk adults laughter. "We've been over this Jess, stop acting like you don't want me as much as I want you." he said as he walks towards me but I back up a step and he stopped. "Are you really going to fucking test me Jess?" He said with anger clear in his voice. I felt the anxiety in me rise up and tears brim my eyes at him getting mad because I know what that leads to. "I want you on the bed with no clothes and if you disobey me." he let out a dry chuckle; I almost ran at how dark it came out. "Well, you know that part, don't you?" •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• This story covers the youth of Jess first and the later chapters is where she blooms......
