Being locked down with one of Melbourne's top football teams during a global pandemic was not how Paige Marino expected to keep her job. Determined to help the hotel avoid scandal, she is not prepared for the connection she feels with one of the team's top players, Nate Howard. As he fights to make her open her heart to him, will she unlock a secret that could end his career and leave them both adrift in an unsettled world?


'You shouldn't be in here Paige,' Nate said slowly, his voice gravely as he moved towards her. He hadn't expected to see her again, let alone in his hotel room. 
'I know.' She took a slow deep breath, her eyes darting between Nate's face and bare chest. Muscles shifting as he held back, approaching her like a hunter would an injured animal, reading her reactions. Only this time she didn't back away. 
'What are you doing here Paige?' His smile was feral, eyes darkening as they ran the length of her body, pausing on the curve of her hips. She could feel her face flushing, and the heat pooling between her legs. 
'I don't know.' Her voice was barely a whisper. Nate closed the distance between them, his arm circling her waist, the other cupping her cheek. He groaned, running his thumb along her bottom lip and sparking every cell of her body to life.
'I want you Paige,' Nate whispered against her lips, seeking permission. Her body was pressed against his, her breathing shallow as her hands flattened against his chest. The part of her that wanted to do the right thing was silent, and instead of pushing away she let her hands explore his chest, sliding up his neck and into his hair. 
His eyes darkened as she met his gaze again. 
'I want you too.'

[COMPLETE] Soz this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.

[Book 2 in the Secret series] "That's not what I meant..." I chew on my lip. "Well, what the fuck did you mean then?" He shouts. "When I'm there I don't have to think about you!" I yell back. Wrong choice of words again, Sophia. I curse myself. His form immediately stands and he strides over to me, he is now inches away from me, his body is so close to mine that I am forced to take a couple of steps backwards. My back is pressed up against the window. Noah's breathing is deep but he speaks softly, "when you're there all I can think about is you." He raises his hand and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. I step around him and head for the door, "uh I'm going to go to the hospital." I pick up my bag and rush out of the door leaving Noah in the room and saving myself from doing something I would definitely regret and make me change my mind about going back to Pennsylvania. ------------ 'I love you too,' were the last words Sophia heard before she was banished from her home city and she left without a second thought.

Everyone's eyes are on Sophia, and they are looking for someone to blame. Will she return to her new life and forget about New York once and for all?

"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god! What have I gotten myself into? •••• Aaron Steele, the CEO of the multi billionaire Steele's Company was the eligible bachelor of 25. He always had his way among girls and having blue eyes, a chiseled jaw and a hot body, didn't help either. With new woman on her arms every other day, he was obviously not planning on falling on that cliché word also called love, but would his thoughts of not falling in love still remain the same, after meeting her? Sienna Collins was a girl of 22 with extremely shy personality. After completing her graduation, the only thing in her mind was to get a good job and settle on her own, but what she didn't expected was a job at Steele's Company. This is a story of the innocent and the sinful. Read inside to find out what happens when two persons from exactly opposite worlds collide together. #I would suggest 14+ to read this story as some part in the book contains mature scenes. ~ # 37 in Romance #12 in humor *I am not a grammer nazzy, so there would be grammatical mistakes.*

"Can I give you a hug?" Is it possible to want and not want something at the same time? "Please?" he insists and I nod. He approaches me and my breathing becomes irregular, our bodies are too close. He doesn't hug me. Instead, his hands touch mine, brushing my skin. My fingers caress his. His head comes closer to me and rubs his nose gently on my neck, making me shiver. I hear him inhale, and I close my eyes. I can feel his warm breath on my skin and I'm already on fire. "You realize that I've never wanted anything so much in my life." I feel his lips brush my neck and go up to my ear. I sigh. "Peter ..." I manage to say. "Don't do that. Don't moan my name like that or I won't be able to pull away," he whispers in my ear and then he gently bites it.
