Three things I live my life by: parties, puck bunnies, and playing my heart out on the ice.

Becoming the new forward for the Cincinnati Cyclones means meeting new people, exploring a new city, and finding new things to occupy my time. Or, rather, people to keep me occupied. 

Falling for a girl never even entered the equation. Until I met Reece Reagan. Scars, tattoos, and a dark past all wrapped up in a neat little package of blonde hair and bewitching brown eyes. 

She's stronger than anyone I've ever met; makes my reasons for staying away from relationships seem shallow and insignificant. The emotions she triggers make me feel alive in ways I didn't know were possible.

If only I could convince her of that. Because, without her, my world just might shatter. 

**

Three things hold my life together: Sharpies, sweatshirts, and scars that remind me I'm alive.

Within the comfort of the Anarchy Immortal Café, I draw out the darkness that haunts me. Expel my demons and exorcise the pain from my heart. I keep to myself, resigned to the fact that while people come and go, they never stay once they've figured me out. 

Having a rough and tumble hockey player fixate on me was the last thing I expected. Bastien Killfeather is charismatic, sexy, and irritatingly determined to get my attention. 

Worse, he makes the fear I've coddled for so long feel like chains instead of armor. The feelings he invokes are terrifying. They also set me ablaze in ways I no longer thought myself capable of. Bringing color to an existence so confined in black and white. 

The problem is, I can't let him know that. Or else he'll bring my world crashing down.

Letters to Robin by ezra_is_stressed

In the aftermath of her twin sister's tragic death, Reagan Sinclair finds herself in a never-ending battle against paralyzing panic attacks and drowning in grief. Desperate to just survive each day, Reagan's world is turned upside down when Paris unexpectedly enters her life, offering her a chance to explore a world of dominance she never knew she needed. As Reagan delves into a journey of self-discovery and passion, she must confront her suppressed emotions surrounding her sister's passing and her growing dependence on Paris. Join Reagan on a gripping adventure of love, loss, and finding the strength to heal in the face of unimaginable pain. "Why not?" I whisper against his lips, I want him closer to my body, I want it so badly it's almost painful. The sensation spreads through me like a relentless throbbing, engulfing my entire body. Paris pulls away to look at me, and his eyes are darker, deeper. I swallow at the primal desire pouring from his stare, eyes widening when he wraps his hand around my neck, his thumb stroking as it bobs. Almost instinctively, I raise my hand and put it over his, making him squeeze tighter. Paris growls low in his throat, and I close my eyes, marveling at the way every single nerve ending lights up. "Why not?" I ask again, just wishing he'd close the space between us. Just wishing he'd touch me. "No. This is wrong and I'm sorry I let it get this far. I'm older than you, love. You're so fucking young. This is......no," "I'm twenty, not seventeen, and I don't care. It doesn't matter," it's the wrong thing to say because when I open my eyes, he's shaking his head, his eyes locked on the wall near my head with an unreadable expression on his face. He removes his hand from around my throat, and the other slides slowly up my side and grips my waist, putting me more firmly against the wall. "No, Reagan," he says through clenched teeth, turning around and going to his room. I flinch at the sound of his bedroom door closing.

The Hot Hockey Player by loulousjourney

🌸 So far, so good. Despite everything, Madeline's still standing, still living - though her life has been upended more than once. Moving from America to England wasn't exactly easy but oddly enough, the return was much simpler. With little more than the bare minimum from her parents, and diabetes always complicating things, she had to rely on her brother for real help. Now, as she steps back into Nashville, she wonders how this might realign her path. Somehow, everything feels like it's falling into place. She's exactly where she needs to be - though there's one complication : a boy. Something she didn't planned at all. And maybe he's part of the plan, too. Maybe for the better. 🏒 Hockey has always been one of Jude's greatest loves, ever since he can remember. And to be blunt, he's damn good at it. But don't mistake him for the typical player type you read about in books. He doesn't have girls lining up outside his door, and when there is someone, he treats her right - once, and only once. It's a rule he set for himself. He met his best friend Colin during a hockey game, both rooting for opposite teams. Colin was on the wrong side, of course, but somehow, they became inseparable. Colin has diabetes, so over time, he learned how to help. What he didn't expect was for that knowledge to help him with a girl. A girl more complicated than any genetic disease. But maybe that's a challenge worth taking. ° ° ° Welcome to this new book. Please don't forget to vote, comment and share ❤️

"There's a beginning to every story. There's an end to every beginning. This is how my story begins and ends." -Kate "These a soul out there that's meant for me. I just haven't came across it yet." -Bear My story doesn't the fairytale start however in the mist of everything; it has the fairytale ending. The princess who gets her Prince Charming. Or in my case, the VP of Creed MC, he's not a Prince Charming but he's Royalty to his club. How we met was by accident but I call it fate. Outsiders would be scared of such a brute, I wasn't one of them. When I moved here from Ashby with my daughter, I hadn't expected to catch the eyes of another VP. I promised to stay clear from any members of any clubs. I wouldn't risk my heart to be shattered by any outlaw criminal again. My luck, they'd be exactly like Viper and if they were... I would never recover. I made plenty of mistakes to get me to where I am today. But with those mistakes, I wouldn't ask for a redo. I wouldn't have McKenzie. I wouldn't be married to my savior. We wouldn't have our children, if I had asked for a redo in life. Having Mac was a miracle but falling for Bear was a blessing in disguise. He had his own son almost the same age as Mac. Our love wasn't off the bat, it was a slow pace. It took him months on top of months to get me to agree to one date. That one date turned into another, turned into two more, which turned into dating. Before Bear, there was many of mistakes. I was trying to fix the mistakes me mother created before she passed. My mother was a prostitute for the Viper's MC. She had sex with any of the member and thus is how I came about. I never knew who my father was, not that I cared. I tried to go down a different path but any path I chose when straight to the Viper's MC clubhouse. My story will be a rocky rollercoaster one that ends up in a happy ending. You'll laugh, smile, and cry. You have been warned.

The Traitors by Katalyn_Hellinski

The Mallard Corporation was one of the largest research and development labs in the Eastern Division. After several years of testing, they released a serum to the public said to enhance pre-existing traits within a person's genetic makeup. The distribution was a success, but the aftermath declared the serum defected. People were developing unnatural abilities and began reeking havoc within the city. A recall was in order and those who had taken the serum, now referred to as Traitors, were gathered up to be transported to a holding location until these Traits could be removed. While some had uncontrollable Traits, others had Traits which were easier to hide so they remained inconspicuous to the public eye. Logan Fierce was constantly battling the demons in his past. It had been three years since his release from Mal Corp, but the trauma he faced was ever present. Determined to fulfill a request left behind by a friend, he encounters Phoenix Monroe; a fellow Traitor who was predicted to change his life forever. Together, the pair jumpstart a series of events which would lead them down a path filled with cover-ups, mayhem, and the truth hidden within Mal Corp. Follow their journey in this dual POV as they discover the secrets no one was supposed to know and the danger that surrounds them. **This story contains adult themes such as: strong language, abuse, sexual situations, self-harm, and violence** Sensitive chapters which may be triggering for readers are marked with asterisks. *If any of the following are triggering for you as the reader, please don't read or read at your own discretion.

McKenzie Anderson is still trying to piece her life back together after separating from her husband, but she's dug herself into a slump she can't quite get herself out of.

Ethan Thomas is a straight shooter who knows what he wants, and isn't afraid to show it. He's got his eyes set on the feisty blonde, and he's made it his mission to show her love isn't hopeless. From their first wild night together, both Ethan and McKenzie felt the intense and undeniable attraction between them. The closer these two get and the more vulnerable they become, they have to wonder if there's more to their encounters than steamy passion. One thing's for sure, and that's that sparks will fly and hearts will be mended. ~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\ "What is it you want, McKenzie?" He demands, his lips on my neck nibbling and kissing their way up to my earlobe. His hand trails down my skin until it finally reaches the lace material separating my pussy from his fingers. Still staring intently into my eyes, he slowly moves the lace material aside and dips into my hot and ready core. I bit down on my lip, attempting to suppress my moans. This only motivates him to push deeper. His fingers begin to move rhythmically inside of me, pushing me over the edge. "I want you!" I finally release, fully giving into him.

SWEET REVENGE by monica23031

The exact words he threw at my face still haunts my dreams every single night and I think I'm starting to believe him. "Wish I've never met you I was so young and stupid, no wonder no one wanted to be with you, you are just holding me down and I honestly just got bored, needed a new chapter in my life that was the main reason I did what I had to do to keep myself happy. I just don't want to lie to myself anymore. I can't do this. I need to be free for once in my life. I'm so relieved that I don't have to marry you anymore, it's like a dead weight lifted from my shoulders. JUST LEAVE! GET OUT NOW! '' I just didn't know what to do that day I way so shocked, one minute we were one big happy family and the next he throws everything we build up as a family. I should had been warned by his actions the last month that we spend together. He knew that he was my first for everything and that gave him a push on his ego. Always bragged about being my first and claiming power over the situation. I was blinded by all of his charms and I see that now, I'm so sorry I did not listen Laura, you were just trying to protect me , that's what best friends are for but I chose him and I am truly sorry. I promise I will get a way to show him that I am not just a waste of space and I am going to do it all just for me and my baby girl. **WARNING** Sexual language and mature content Read at own risk ;) https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Monicanaude
