Like most people, Lauren had a big crush on a celebrity when she was a teenager. 

Unlike most people, she met hers ten years later, learned how big of a jerk he was, loathed him, and wanted nothing to do with him anymore.

The problem was when she started her new job, there was an initiation: ask out the next guy who'll enter the room. 
The rules are as follows:
•	If he is married, ask the next one.
•	If he is in a relationship, one coffee date. Maximum twenty minutes.
•	If he is single, five dates.
•	And last, but most important, he must be willing to go on a date with you.

Little did she know that Axel James, her teenage celebrity crush, would be the one who'll walk in next. And he is absolutely willing.

"You don't talk much, do you? Don't you at least want to know my name if you can't see my face?" I asked him curiously.

I have a better idea." //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Francesca thought her life was set.

", I shouted at him. He has a tight grip on me, I am trying my best to match up with his long fast strides. He is really mad at me but in fact, it should be the real opposite, I am the one who is supposed to be mad. He took me to an empty room and pushed me inside and slammed the door shut behind him. Even without his hands on me, he had me in his grasp. "What are you up to? " my voice breathless and weak. He didn't answer, he grabbed my shoulder and pushed me roughly to the wall. His hot hard body molding mine so damn perfectly. "What are you doing? " I asked, trying to seem unaffected but failing miserably. "What are you doing to me? " he whispered, nibbling on my earlobe sensually, setting my blood on fire. "James" I whispered. I couldn't control myself. I always wanted him, my hand made their way to his broad shoulders to envelope his neck. His eyes immediately softened. " oh..damn it... Emily... What are you doing to me?

✅ Complete ✅ When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment. One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention. What could go wrong? ☲☲☲☲☲ ☆Brooks☆ My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly -- like she was scared the moment would pass away forever if she let another millisecond go by -- and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her. Something about my touch must have given her courage. ♡Campbell♡ The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train. I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just their new neighbor. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret. ☆Luca☆ Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly -- like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea -- and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy. And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat. ☲☲☲☲☲ Featured by: 📙 @Wattpad • Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) • Endless Reading Mode 🧡 (Jan 2024) • Summer in the City 🥵 (June 2023) 📕 @Romance • New Adult (June 2024) 📘 @Ambassadors • Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) Awards: 🥈 Romance runner-up (The Prime Awards 2023)

"Hey, love?" I jumped at the sound of his voice. He was leaning against my doorway in his t-shirt and a pair of boxers. Of course, he looked like one of those Calvin Klein models, except softer, more homey somehow. Ultimately making me struggle to not have sex with him right now. "Yeah?" I asked, walking up to him. His arms wrapped around my body, pressing me to him. His hands slid down my body, cupping every curve as they went. They stopped on my bare ass as he gave my bum a squeeze. Clay dipped his head, kissing my collarbone in a seductive manner, making me feel freshly turned on all over again. How was I going to contain myself, being around this man all the time? When he'd kissed up my neck, he drew small circles with his tongue, biting me lightly. He'd made it up my jaw, and when he was close to my lips, he paused. "Don't fall in love with me." He muttered quietly but made sure that I could hear him. My knees felt weak. Of course, I wasn't going to fall in love with the guy. - - - When Adalyn finally believed she had her life on track, of course, it decided to throw itself off the track when she least expected it to. Leaving her girlfriend was one thing, but then moving in with a man she barely knows? This was completely unlike her. She found herself falling for her newfound fling, who's also her new roommate...whom she specifically agreed NOT to fall in love with. It's pretty simple, right? All she needed to remember, though, was the fact that their relationship was strictly no strings attached.

But just before that, her landlord calls and tells her she is going to have to live with a roommate for sometime. What will happen when she discovers the truth about her roommate? Read to find out. King and Queen Mafia ****** I stepped back. He started coming dangerously close towards me. I stepped sideways knowing how this would end. I would obviously get pinned against the wall and god knows what next. "No cheating." he put a hand around my waist and pushed me roughly against the wall. His hot biceps caging me in his arms. He actually smiled a little this time, it was not a smirk. And his little smile was totally panty-dropping. "I'll take that as a hint." I smirked. "For what?" his lips hovered above mine. "Well, if you keep pinning me against the wall, you want to kiss me." I shrugged. But I was totally affected by this closeness. I felt tingles and goosebumps run down my whole body. "I do."
