Adrian & Genevieve - Book I of the UCC Series

One night, my roommate dragged me to a party at the basketball's 'all-star team' house. A spilled drink and huge argument later, I have the team captain giving me a personalized nickname and longing for my phone number. Not how I planned for my sophomore year to go.

Genevieve 'Gigi' Laurence prospers through her freshman year at the notable University of Central Chicago, only to be met with an unruly sophomore year. Filled with parties, booze, and basketball, she's introduced to the team's captain and notorious womanizer, Adrian Castillo, causing her focus to shift. With the opportunity to secure an internship, she hopelessly tries to stay on track but with Adrian's eyes on her, it's less than possible. Unfortunately for her, she becomes intrigued by his hot-blooded, seductive, and asshole behavior. Finding herself in a compromised situation she needs to ask herself if she'll give in or stay on course. 

Adrian Castillo is beginning his senior year of college with a serious relationship being the last thing on his mind as his life is under less than ideal circumstances. With the NBA draft coming up, playing in March Madness as three-time team captain, and worst of all dealing with his broken home issues, he's filled with stress and pressure from all sides of his life. But, when he meets Genevieve Laurence, he's captivated by her books, beauty, and gentle soul. The idea of a committed relationship soon purviews his mind and as the center of attention on campus, in the college league, and by the people around him, his rock-solid aura needs to remain solidified.All Rights Reserved

I Don't Mind by gabedavisbills13

[boyxboy] Adrian Sanders has had a crush on Derek Peterson for three years in high school. They played on the same side of the field, locking up any receivers that tried to get receptions on them. Adrian is the only person that knows that Derek is gay, but Derek doesn't know that, until Adrian sees something that will change their relationship completely. WARNING: There are massive spoilers for Teammates With Benefits. If you don't want a book full of smut, then this book can kind of be read as a standalone, but I would not recommend it. There will most likely be smut, but this is going to be a slow burn. Homophobia will be way more present than it was in Teammates With Benefits. My updating schedule will be the exact same as it was for Teammates With Benefits. Every Monday and Friday at 7 AM PST/10 AM EST. This will be consistent throughout the entire book. This book will probably be under constant editing, similar to Teammates With Benefits. Again, the schedule of these football (American football) games will not be the same as it is in real life. In real life, college football ends in January, but in this book, games will go until May. This is most likely not going to be the only sequel/spin off I write off of Teammates With Benefits. I'll see where all the characters are by the end of this book, decide if I want to or am at least motivated enough to write another book with these characters. I most likely will be.

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.*

I can see my breath puff in front of me as I walk. My body's rigid and stiff with each step, having spent hours in the gym last night, thoughts racing through my head. As much as my team doesn't want me to think it's my fault, I know it is. I should've done better. Should've pushed harder. It's my fault we lost. My fault I missed the last shot. Pulling open the doors I let the warmth surround my body. Closing my eyes as I let out the breath I hadn't realized I was holding. The sound of basketballs hitting the ground in the gymnasium just a few steps away fills my ears, the comforting sound easing my mind. Pushing open the double doors my shoes squeak against the wooden floor, the doors close behind me and the basketballs, laughter and chatter come to a halt. The eyes of the team are on me as I walk across the court. And that's when I hear it. The most amazing laughter I've ever heard fills my head, my thoughts. And my eyes find her. Her long brown hair shines in the light of the gym. Her smile brightens up everything around her. My gosh, she's beautiful.

"Your big mouth needs to be punished for spitting in front of your Boss," before I could apprehend his words, I found his lips on mine. ** "I had a dream this afternoon. You spanked me."

Connections | ✔️ by CxTannir

[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.

Nobody But You by mskaydanae

To Adriana, her last year in college couldn't get any better - she was in the top of her class, her school radio show was ranked the college's most listened student-ran show, and she was already getting offers for jobs. Her life was stress-free, especially since she had one thing NOT to worry about - a boyfriend. Unlike most girls, Adriana never expressed feelings for wanting a boyfriend. She actually never planned to date. And after a few bad experiences, she knew why. To her, guys were just immature and never knew what they wanted until the one they felt they needed was already gone, and she didn't have time for the drama. But, after one great moment with Samuel Davis, University of Southern California's hottest male student, and their star basketball player, she thinks she may have a change of heart. What will happen after these two have a few interactions? Will Adri give LOVE a chance, or will she remain the same? Copyright © 2016 by Kayla Angel
