"Are you finally admitting that you did, indeed, flirt with me when we first met?" Aaron interrupted, his eyebrows raised and lips curling into a smirk I knew all too well.

Taking a deep breath as if steeling myself for what I was about to say next. I lifted my chin up to face his intense gaze head-on, and provoked, "What if I did? What then?"

He seemed taken aback by the hinting challenge in my tone, and his eyebrows flattened as he released a sigh.

"Well, then I guess you must have found me attractive that day." The humor was back in his tone but there was a strained undercurrent to our conversation that had me on my toes. His eyes seemed to darken as they pinned me in place.

"I wasn't the only one flirting that day," I replied, my eyebrows quirking up in defiance. For a moment we paused as my silent dare was thrown into the air. We were closer now than we were before and I could have counted his eyelashes at our distance.

Trapped In Love ✓ by StellaAdamsHere

"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.*

The Opposition by BookNerd1818

"The answer is 'A,'" I say, keeping my voice light and kind. Carter snorts from beside me. "No, it's 'C.'" Bingo. I was hoping he'd say that. "The question clearly asks you to round to the nearest tenth. If I'm not mistaken, which I don't believe I am, answer 'C' has two decimal places." I smirk as his mouth twitches into a frown. We're still standing. "Very well, Miss. Jones," Mr. Neilson says, projecting another question. "I can't stand you," Carter mumbles in my ear. I turn my head towards him, pressing my lips against his ear. "Then sit the fuck down, Conners," I whisper. "I'm winning." ... Fairridge Prep is for the best of the best. Sadie Jones, stubborn and clever, is set on being the best. Returning from winter break feeling, more so than ever, that she has stolen her sister's dream, Sadie is determined to spend the rest of Junior year proving that she deserves everything she's worked towards. Carter Conners, notorious flirt (only when it comes to Sadie), will do anything it takes to not spend the rest of his life working at his parents' diner. Whether it's running for the track team or debating, Carter is always competing, and competing to win. Sadie and Carter have been rivals since freshman year, constantly bickering and trying to best each other. But when the rivals are thrown into a week long debate competition that, along with getting the top spot on the Principal's List, will guarantee one of them the title of Valedictorian next year, they find themselves enjoying each other's company more than they would've ever expected. And it leaves them wondering: "Do we really hate each other?"

Stole My Heart 💕 by honeyvsbunny

I could hear her footsteps running behind me; so I intentionally made long steps. When I stopped and turned around she bumped into my chest and about to fall. Suddenly I urged myself to breakdown her fall. But she closed her eyes and got ready to take the fall; she looked like a baby in fear, it's kind of cute.I grabbed her with my arms around her slimy waist and her little hand too. She fits right into my arms. My heart skipped a bit when she opened her eyes and looked at me. Her eyes went wide when it captured mine. Her eyes sure have some magnetic power. I can't take my eyes away from her. We both are too close; that I could feel her breath. When reality hits I slowly made her stand on her own and moved back. I threw the book at her. She looked at me with confusion. I showed my anger at her for acting like an innocent person. I know the reason for my anger is that she disappointed me when I thought that she was different. But to my surprise the one who left the book at car was Hanna. I can't make myself to say sorry to some idiotic random girl. So just walked back when I suddenly heard someone calling me by my name. "Nicholas" she yelled. I turned around to see the same small girl standing there. How dare she call me by my name? She gave me a grin with her hand folded to her chest. She tries to act like tough girl but it's too cute to watch. So I just stood there. But she went out off limits and questioned me if I like her? Me? Like? Her? No way ! Here comes our protagonist Candice called Candy - Chatter box but cute and friendly to everyone. No one could hate her except Nick. Nicholas called Nick- Handsome but arrogant, college senior who thinks the earth revolve around him. How do these two opposite poles have them attracted????

Moonlight Kisses by chxrryskiwis

"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022

The President's Heart❤️ by Glazabesties2911

Synopsis "Hey, I want you to write a couple of essays for my project. How much is your pay?" I blinked twice to be sure that the almighty rude Shanelle is right in front of me asking for my help. "Hmm, but you don't look like you want to get it done" I smirked as I look up to see her scan the cafe with her beautiful blue eyes, just like her brother's. "Bitch don't try to feel important, I'm only doing you a favour here so cut to the chase and state your price, we both know you need the money desperately" Shanelle replied. What she said got to me but I wouldn't let her see that, because I truly need the money to support my sick dad. I just smiled and say "what's it about?" "I'll text you my address, come over to my place tonight and we can talk it over in my room, no one is allowed to know that you're helping me" Shanelle said quite bossy. I scoffed and say "Do you find me that intimidating?" "You wish" she said and walked away. Does that mean I get to see Romans, I mind screamed.

An Unexpected Moment by caromerri

... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!

Breathing Blue by NourrIsTyping

"What? Cat got you tongue, Everleigh?" He smirked, his jet black hair swaying over his piercing blue eyes as he chuckled. Aaron cupped my chin and made sure I looked him in the eyes, an amused expression taking over his features. "Do you never give it a rest, Romano?" I rolled my eyes, feigning composure. I refused to let the bastard get a grip over me. I had allowed a slip up in the car that night, but I sure as hell wasn't going to again. "I've apologized I don't know how many fucking times, Havoc... You can't keep denying your feelings for me," He muttered as I caught a glimpse of his tongue piercing. A small, ashamed part of me wished that I could feel the cold silver brush against my tongue again, making my jaw clenched slightly. "You always apologize, but you never change," I breathed out deeply as he rolled his eyes before pushing his dark hair back. "Look, I'm willing to compromise here. For fuck's sake, Havoc... can we forget about these past few months?" He whispered before tilting his head to the side innocently, the movement making my heart flutter. "Why would you want that when you have Jasmine to keep you company?" I said sarcastically as his face grimaced. "She's not you." *** This year was supposed to be normal, as far as being a college sophomore in L.A. goes. Havoc Everleigh had a simple plan: make memories, pass exams... not exactly what another certain someone has in mind. That certain someone had a flair for disruption, due to the hefty past that had molded him into the perfect definition of an asshole. The asshole in question was Aaron Romano, the blue eyed, dark haired contemptible mystery on campus. Was he witty? Yes. Was he the definition of a man whore? Yes. But was he also incredibly sexy? Hell yes. Both turn out destructive to one another, and yet, the more they push each other away, the deeper they find themselves pulled into a spiral of hatred, lust and sexual tension.
