Excerpt:

I lean back over. "I think about you, all the time."

He keeps his eyes down, attempting to hold back a smile. But when he looks up at me, one side leans upward, giving me a half grin that makes me feel like I'm flying.

His lips are on my ear again. "I really want to kiss you again."

He pulls back, waiting for my reaction, and he gets it in a subtle nod. I notice that in the sunlight shining in from his window, his eyes look blue, not the gray that I'm used to seeing. That's my last thought before his lips are on mine.




Set mostly over the course of one night, this story describes the relationship of Lilly and Aric, the ups the downs, the beginning the end, and everything in between.

Blue // Daniel Seavey by La--Petite--Mort
50 parts Complete Mature
A reflection. Do you like yours, love yours or hate yours? There's many people in this world who dislike theirs, not because of the physicality that they see in a mirror, but because they know what's lurking behind the eyes that stare. So much can be seen in yourself from your own pair of eyes, things that others don't seem to see. Do you know why that is? That's because no one knows you better than you know yourself. A pair of eyes could seem so kind, warm and innocent to the world, but only yourself could know the true darkness behind them. There's one person in this world who knows exactly what I'm talking about. He knows the infuriating, angering feeling of the painful suffering he experiences when his own eyes meet his reflection's. Deadly, severe, menacing: is what he sees. Everyone who looks into them simply see a bright pair of ocean eyes. Blue. That's all they see. But only himself knows he's drowning in the tidal waves of their deep ocean. And no one cares enough to notice, to help, or to save. Until her. She used to think fire was more murderous than ice. Little did she know, that would all change at first glance. She saw the eyes, she noticed their blue, she stared for a second too long, and now she knows that there's no going back. He'll claim her. ~If I take a step away from him, he takes a step closer to me. If I run, he'll find his way back.~ ~I'm trying my goddamned hardest to not act on the ache I'm feeling to place my lips on hers, just to have a little taste, because I don't want to appear as some sex-driven teenage boy who just wants to claim her body. Because I don't. I want to claim her heart.~ *Mature content: Strong language, aggressive behaviour, sexual content etc.* Note: Don't skip past the prologue. A bit of the dialogue or description in the first half of the book may seem slightly immature; I'll have to edit that when I get the chance. Started: 31/08/18 Completed: 02/04/19
Always & Forever (Nick & Bailey #2) by what-she-said
61 parts Complete Mature
If you have not read "Nick & Bailey" turn around and start with that! This is the sequel and will not make sense without it! "He leans into her, wanting to taste her mouth, but she leans back. "Now are you going to stop trying to convince yourself that I am not crazily and completely in love with you?" He smiles and brings his hand to her the nape of her neck. "Say you'll never leave me." She lets him guide her to him before whispering, "Never" into his mouth." Although Nick & Bailey have overcome every obstacle thrown their way so far, once they are officially in a relationship, and Nick's past and insecurities take center stage, it may too much to handle.

This is a romance story about a girl who falls in love with the new guy in town. I hope you enjoy, and please feel free to comment because I'd really appreciate it. Feedback is always welcome. Also, I've labeled it "mature" because there is one or two slightly graphic kissing scenes, but nothing too bad. Enjoy :)

I bit my lip, the warmth of his touch sending a jolt through me. I shook my head again, and his hand moved to my abdomen, "Here?" his gaze became intense. I gulped and shook my head. His hand continued its ascent, stopping in the center of my chest. I dragged a long breath in. "I bet nobody has ever touched you here," he murmured, his voice now husky and tinged with tension. I gulped, shaking my head again. Moving his hand up to my neck, he held it firmly from the side and yanked me closer. Our faces inches apart. "What are you doing to me, Liza?"

Like the ocean by SevernRose
11 parts Ongoing Mature
His gaze was piercing and endless. His eyes vibrant, blue and luminous; like the ocean. Every time he looked at me it was as though they resembled a hurricane, fierce and captivating. His hair was shining in the pale light of the rising moon and setting sun. It glimmered gold, like crisp leaves in Autumn and fell along his face. The water dripping, falling upon his smooth muscles. Everything about him made my insides go crazy, I couldn't think properly. The ocean crashing against the shore gave me a lulling temptation to just step closer. His face was chiseled by God himself, and his lips, oh his lips. They were pink and pouted; they looked so soft, so poisonously kissable. The desire was inextinguishable. The fire in my heart could not be burned out. I just wanted to know. I needed to know. I leaned in and our lips met in a kiss that felt like every bridge that had ever burned, had been burned for me. It felt like nothing imaginable, almost like time had stopped in place and we were frozen in this moment. No rest or peace was placed along those ominous eyes that resembled the chaos beneath the crashing waves. When he leaned in and closed them, they suddenly looked calm. Like the ocean.

R for Romance 💋 by AlmostPsycho

"What are you thinking?" I ask him. "You really want to know?" He replies in a voice so dark and full of warning it sends a shiver down my spine. "Yes." I say, being utterly brave. A small smirk lifts the corner of his lips as he walks towards me. His footsteps slow and calculative like a predator on hunt. Deliberately, he stops just an inch away from me and leans in so close to my ear that I feel his warm breath kiss my neck. "I want to tear off this tight little skirt of yours and pull your panties down with my teeth, all while you watch me do it." My eyes widen in absolute shock. Heat slaps my face and I turn red from his sensual comment. "This.. This is.. sexual assault!" I gasp, completely caught off-guard. We are in the office and he is the God-Damn CEO! "No." He shakes his head calmly. "You asked me a question, and I just answered it, honestly. Nothing less, nothing more. Completely professional." WhatTheFuckeryFuck!

Rossi One: Kian's Little Sky by Mary_Joye
98 parts Complete
Kian's heart raced as he beheld the girl's beauty, her delicate features stirring something profound within him. Her small nose scrunched in her sleep, and her soft lips moved ever so slightly, painting the picture of an ethereal being. Was she an angel in disguise? With great care, he removed her jacket, ensuring his gaze remained respectful, and draped his hoodie over her. He also changed into a fresh T-shirt, all the while marveling at her innocent allure. "You're so precious and adorable, my little bambina," he whispered to her sleeping form, a smile gracing his lips. Noticing the bruise on her cheek, a fingerprint marring her skin, rage simmered within him. Whoever had harmed her would pay dearly. Yet, as he gazed at her, a deep connection took root, a vision of a shared future unfolding before him. When her beautiful blue eyes opened and met his, he felt an undeniable bond, a love at first sight that promised so much more. He longed to pursue her, to understand the pain behind those eyes and witness the beauty of her smile. He imagined it would be the most divine sight he'd ever behold. Her voice, a mere whisper, broke the silence. "W-who a-are you? W-where are y-you t-taking me?" It was the sound of heaven to Kian's ears. *** MARY JOYE.
Melody's Crush by AloraDillon
32 parts Complete
Aren't one sided crushes fun? NOT! 18 year old Melody Jenkins has spent the last 3 years of high school crushing on one guy, Jake Kensington, who sees her as no more than a sister from another mister and best friend. Not wanting to risk their friendship, Melody has kept her crush a secret and her emotions in check whenever she's around him... which is daily since they live on the same property. It's her senior year and she has made it through the past three years of high school with little social psychological trauma. That's excellent considering she goes to a school in Los Angeles where the majority of the bored students graduating will have executive paying jobs the moment they walk across stage. If all goes well, she will graduate as the valedictorian with multiple offers from colleges on the East Coast, far away from California. But when the health teacher announces a "special" project that requires students to be paired and live under the same roof for one week, Melody's world gets completely turned upside down. She is forced to spend time with someone totally opposite of her and frankly, she can't stand... or so she thought. One night of catching a glimpse of the softer side of Kyle Warner, the school's most popular and arrogant quarterback, has her heart pounding and her stomach doing flip-flops. But when Melody shows an ounce of affection toward Kyle, Jake discovers feelings of his own as he tries to protect his best friend from the guy he knows Kyle can be. As the project comes to an end, Melody goes to homecoming... will it be a night to remember, forget or both? Be advised, this contemporary Teen / Young Adult Romance story has some strong language and strong sexual connotation.
