You aren't easy to love everything is complicated with you and I hate it all. I hate how I don't feel good enough. I hate that you have given up. Forgotten what you stand for. Allowed your flame to die away yet I still want you. You are my first love Aleksandr Huxx and I want you to also be my last love.
- Tallis Annabel Sharde
The last thing that was on Aleksandr and Tallis's mind was finding love. The cards the two have been dealt have given them little wish for it.

Keep the peace for his mother's sake and not beat the living hell out of his brother Will. Who more than deserved that and more. Then there's Tallis a women who's still fighting her demons living a sheltered life in the old studio on the Huxx property with her dog Bear. Tallis wants nothing more but to be like other women to be bold and daring. Neither of them are looking for love but maybe they can help each other heal their wounds?

She ceased her coloring and stood, straddling my lap, her gaze fixed on the hope tattoo nestled between my collarbones. Her fingers traced the tattoo with a purple marker, her touch firm, like someone I loved used to do all the time. I hated...but at the same time loved...that she reminded me of him sometimes. I wasn't trying to replace him. I was just simply trying to survive by holding onto her instead. Her hair was cascading over her eyes and I reached out to tuck it behind her ears. "Show me your eyes, gorgeous." I murmured as she met my gaze. She continued to stare as if searching for something within me to reassure her. And then in a moment that felt like a dream, her lips met mine, her fingers gently caressing my face. It was the first time she had initiated a kiss and it was as if I was experiencing my first kiss anew. I responded immediately pulling her closer by her waist. By now, I could feel her tears amidst our kisses but she did not pull away until she sadly did, looking at me one last time with her sorrowful green eyes before wrapping her arms around me. "It helped," she whispered.

Lay me Down to Sleep
She had lived a life that wasn't her own. Every decision was made for her. At the end of the day though, she was still the one with the blood on her hands. To have the weight of abuse on your back is miserable. Especially when you're falling in love. She had been controlled by manipulation and religion her whole life. Her soulmate being a woman was unthinkable. With the constant humiliations of her life, she believed she was exactly what everyone wanted her to be. A power-hungry whore who wanted to steal someone else's mate. Life can be a cruel thing. A life that is not your own is even worse.

Blind Promises
A lonely girl from a small town in Oklahoma finds herself in the middle of Seattle, Washington. What she didn't know was fate was about to deal her a hand that she needed to help put all her demons back where they belonged, locked away for good. A war hardened soldier, blinded in an attack while doing a black ops mission, was sitting there with his friend at a movie night of all things when an angel walked into the room. What little vision he did have gave him the notion that an ethereal being had just graced his presence. Little did he know, she'd be stuck with him for the foreseeable future after an unexpected attack. At first she was drawn to his service dog, but then it wasn't long before she couldn't keep her mind off of him. Which was good because he had no plans of ever letting her go. Sight unseen, he'd decided she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever met. He knew he had issues she didn't deserve to have to handle. She knew she had a past that he wouldn't want to deal with. But fate had other plans for the two lovers, a blind promise. Can they work through their differences, their mental health challenges, and the dangerous situations that come their way?Complete![Taking Chances [18+]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/218168784-256-k606072.jpg)
Taking Chances [18+]
"If you're so sure you're not the guy for me, then why do you keep coming back to me?" "Isn't it obvious?" Chance groaned. "You're too good to give up on." "Too good?" I echoed. Chance nodded and grinned down at me, lowering his mouth to the neckline of my dress where the top of my breasts were exposed. "Too good," he mumbled against my skin. "You taste too good," he licked his lips and moaned softly. Brushing his nose up the side of my neck, he murmured, "You smell too good, too." ....

The Girls with the Flame Tattoos
In this society, everyone has a soulmate. And the way to find yours is just look. Along with a soulmate, everyone has a small tattoo on their cheek with a symbol. Some could be a star, a flower, a yinyang, a fish, or even waves. There are so many people that the symbols are almost limitless. The tattoos don't care about gender or number. There could be gay matches, and there could even be polyamorous matches. The tattoos will tingle when you are near to your sm. And they will glow if you have found only one of your sm's if your match was poly. The trick is, you don't get the tattoo until you are 16. And even if you are near your match, as long as one of you are not of age, your tattoo will not tingle. Also, they are normal tattoos (except you don't get it or choose it, it just appears) so you can get rid of it. But if you do, your sm won't die but they will get very sick. The main characters of this story, Violet West (18) and Harper Black (20), both have a flame tattoo on their cheek. They live in the same state but for 4 years Harper paniced because she couldn't find her match. She wasn't sure if it was because her sm wasn't of age yet or if her sm lived far away. For 2 years Violet also paniced but she knew that some people don't find their sm for 5-10 years after they come of age, so she wasn't as scared as Harper. One day though, they feel their tattoos start to tingle. ____________________________________ *Will they be happy with who their soulmate turns out to be? *Will they recognize each other? *Will they be happy? *Will they break apart? -Read to find out. :) ____________________________________ This book is rated mature because there is a lot of talk of depression and self harm.
