She may have let Philip go long ago, her determination to make him stay this time was chiseled in rock.

But the only problem, Philip was unaware of Daisy's emotional rollercoaster and sadly, visually impaired to see what her aching heart put to display every time he even looked at her.

Addicted by BD_Connoll

"You have no idea how badly I want to make love to you," he responds with a shake of his head. "I love you so much," he continues and my heart melts. "I love you," I whisper back. "Okay, I'm going to make love to you now, Angel. It will hurt a little, so let me know if it hurts too much," he says and leans down to kiss me. "I'll be gentle," he tells me. Keeping his eyes locked on mine he shifts his hips forward slightly and enters inside of me. My mouth widens as he enters, and I feel a slight pinch. He was right, it does hurt, but it's not terrible. "Christ! You're the sun!" he calls out. I watch his face crumble. He buries his face in my neck and then he's above me again, his hands on my cheeks again. ... For 20 year old Alison Scott, love was never something she deemed herself worthy of.

Heartthrob - COMPLETED by PositivumQuestae

In the quiet moments after her grandparents' passing, Abelia found solace in her own company. The loss had left a void in her heart, a void that she hadn't known how to fill. During the day, she was a corporate agent, handling negotiations and deals with finesse, but at night, she became a different person. Love, for Abelia, had always been a complicated matter. She had seen the tumultuous side of it, the way it could bring joy and pain in equal measure. Yet, she had never been one to actively seek it out. It was as if love was an enigmatic puzzle, one she hadn't yet figured out how to solve. Irwin Mcflurry, her beloved beau was different from anyone Abelia had ever known. He was patient, understanding, and compassionate - qualities that seemed almost otherworldly in the fast-paced, cutthroat world they lived in. Irwin saw past Abelia's tough exterior, recognizing the vulnerability that lay beneath. As they spent more time together, Abelia found herself questioning her choices. Could love truly be a source of healing rather than pain? Could she let someone in, allowing herself to be vulnerable again? Irwin's unwavering support and genuine affection started to chip away at the walls around her heart. As the nights turned into days and the days into weeks, Abelia wrestled with her feelings. She was torn between the familiarity of solitude and the allure of love. The pages of her story turned, revealing a complex tapestry of emotions, a struggle between the past and the present, between self-preservation and opening her heart to the unknown. The answer, like the turning of the pages, remained elusive, waiting to be discovered in the depths of Abelia's soul. The journey continued, and with each step, she moved closer to unraveling the mysteries of her own heart. Words Count: 80,469 (Chapter 1 to 47)
