Following Elijah's obsession with a younger woman, who is stuck in a dysfunctional relationship while being filled by desire to branch out

She watched him with admiration, something confrontational in her gaze. She seemed to be searching beyond the surface with her dark eyes at all times, diving though whatever depth hid behind the gaze of the recipient. She saw beyond what showed on his surface, always looking for something to understand him better. 

She was like a drug, soaring through his veins and attacking all systems in his body while removing every ounce of sense from his being. Elijah would relapse on her everyday, if it meant he could as much as dream of being the one she looked at that way. His yearning for her, his Delilah, grew with every day that passed, and became harder and harder to contain.

The Inceptive Flame⎪✓ by IAmEmmaHey

"Do they not say that a good friendship builds on a ground of lies?" I joke, lightening the mood immediately as his green eyes glint in humor and a smirk falls on his familiar lips. "Do you kiss a lot of your friends, love?" The underlying tones threaten to provoke a blush on my cheeks, but I get myself together. Smirking at him, "Well, of course, is that not the norm?" *********** Dakota Moore is the perfect example of a beautiful disaster. Her wisdom is ready to knock anyone down, her self worth is an exact replica of the way her father raised her, and her pain so intense it screams over every building. She refuses to show anyone what's going on behind closed doors, especially when her lovely father gets the traumatic news that he has an incurable disease. Elijah Black is the spur of the moment kind of guy, he's the one no one ever settles with because of his angry outbursts and rude ways. Even though he throws everyone off, except for when they want sexual advances, he still can't help but feel enthralled by the freckled girl who's hiding so many secrets behind a fake smile. As they clash and try to reject the obvious rush, will they accept their attraction, or is everything just too much? After all, how can two ruined teenagers manage a youthful love without destroying themselves in the process?

3.1 | What we Fake by Evelynfrost23

❝I was crazy in love, and love makes you do crazy things.❞ "So, does that mean if I-if I kissed you tonight, you wouldn't feel a thing?" Emily barely reacted, focused on trimming her nails, but his question jolted her enough that she almost nicked herself. Without looking up, she replied, "No." Then, with a sharp breath and a smile, she met his eyes. "Absolutely not." ~*~ Liam Wyatt never had the life of an ordinary boy. Between his absent parents, a wildly popular twin, and an even more famous best friend, he always felt like the one who had to keep everything in order-even when nothing was. But despite all of that, he loved his life for what it was, imperfections and all. There was just one thing he wished he could change: the way his heart raced every time he saw Emily, his best friend, look at her girlfriend. He wished, late at night when no one was around to notice, that she would one day look at him that way. But Liam wasn't selfish-her happiness always came first, even if it meant pushing his own feelings aside. What We Fake explores the tender and raw complexities of unrequited love, self-identity, and the things we hide from the world-and from ourselves. In a world where we think we know ourselves best, sometimes, we're the ones wearing the best disguise.

a tragedy of some kind by vannah_

P.S. I wish I never loved you. Oh how I wish -Delilah He burned like the sun, blazing from the tips of her fingers to her toes. He was like a weed that entangled her obtruding ribcage, intertwining her lungs, drawing out every ounce of breathe. She was the colour of the small hours, those periods of transformation that separated sombre from divine. She lived for the shadows of darkness and stalked beneath the immortality of the moon. She was sublime. But even the wildest spirits find their way behind gilded bars noticing, only, when it's to late. Because nobody is invincible, despite their belief to the contrary.

His gaze burned into mine, and I sensed the struggle within him to maintain control. His eyes, like dark pools, drew me in, and I felt myself drowning in their depths. My breath caught as his gaze lingered on my face, and I knew he was fighting the urge to reach for me. My own desire rose to meet his, and for a moment, we simply stood there, our hearts pounding in unison. Then, with a visible effort, he tore his eyes away, his voice low and husky as he spoke. "We should go inside." The words were a thin veil over the raw passion that threatened to consume us both. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I realized how close we were to surrendering to our desires.

Let Me Explain by yourdaddydearest

"You're quiet." Easton took notice of my usual demeanor, recognizing that being quiet or detached wasn't something that I normally was. "Because I'm in a car with a stranger." He glanced over, left hand still resting on the steering wheel as his brown eyes met mine for a short second. "Do you kiss strangers?" "You kissed me." "You kissed me back." "I didn't want to be rude." I lied, knowing I liked it. I also knew that my response would irritate him, so I kept my eyes on him. The passing streetlights illuminated his features, allowing me to analyze and read every reaction that would become visible. A smile touched his lips as his tongue pressed the side of his mouth. He turned to meet my eye when we stopped at a red light. "That's why you moaned in my mouth, right?" I paused, being caught off guard as words weren't able to form in my mouth. Instantly, I broke eye contact with him as I switched my gaze to the windshield, staring straight. "What?" A teasing smile still playing across his lips. "Is this situation suddenly not funny anymore?" **********
