This is Carter.

It's become Ava Collins' mantra since she met him in college. A way to remind herself that she isn't like all of the other women falling at his feet for just one night with him. A reminder that she can ignore his rogueish good looks and infamous history with women because she knows the truth of the man beneath.

This is her brother's roommate. This is her coworker. This is her best friend.

But after a decade of cuddled-up movie nights and building a business together, there's something new developing in this friendship - lies.

She had never lied to Carter before, not once. But ever since a missent text message had sent her running to his apartment for an unexpected night with the city's most accomplished playboy, lying was all she seemed to be able to do around him. Lies about their friendship, about the new benefits that came along with it, and about just how much she was allowing it to affect her heart. Because, though Ava would never admit it, she was pretty sure she was falling in love with her best friend.

But she couldn't be. After all...

My Beautiful Liar by CYDream1

Paul Matthew Rivera, a successful Chief Creative Officer of a famous clothing brand, may have finally met his match.... Who would have thought that his former young talented student will be his new boss - Cassandra Arkin, formerly known as Cassandra Guevarra. A fun, feel-good romance story.... Just try not to be caught with Cassie's lies! :) Excerpt: "Ssshh.... enough of the talk. You already had me. If you're changing your mind about this, it's already too late. Cassie, I wanted you badly from the first moment I saw you." His lips suddenly moved to my ear and his warm breath sent shivers all over my spine. "Sin with me. If you're going to cheat on your husband, cheat with me. I don't care anymore. I can be your boy toy." He grazed his teeth on my earlobe, and I felt my body tense with excitement. I couldn't think straight anymore. He stared at me again with intense lust in his eyes and held my face with both his hands. "You're so beautiful, Cassie. I've always wanted to taste those lips." He then lowered his lips to claim mine.

Period! by amna_riaz

"I... Am here to see you.", I told him as I placed my hands around his neck. I could feel my heart beat getting faster but I had to keep it strong if I had to survive this scenario. "What?", Brandon asked completely startled. I leaned in more closer to him. The only good thing in this entire scene was that he wasn't pushing me back due to my creepy behaviour. "Oh... Bran, I was missing you so much, I just... I needed to see you.", I said as I came up with lie. "Are you drunk?", Brandon asked as he leaned in closer trying to smell my mouth. Thank God Fel had given me her mint gum only moments before I went commando and came inside the locker room. "What?", I scoffed still standing extremely close to Brandon. "I just.... I was missing your gorgeous face.", I told another lie. But wait? His face is gorgeous so that isn't a lie. And was I not missing seeing him? I noticed Brandon who just had his eyes popped out of his socket with bewilderment at my words. I decided to peck him on the cheek before I storm out of the locker room. I leaned ahead to peck Brandon who moved his face in my direction and instead of his cheeks, our lips crashed. Brushing against each other, our lips touched. I could feel fireworks exploding inside my entire body. With my neurological system not responding anymore. ******* Depicting the hostility and vulnerability of a young woman to a society the story centers around a normal sophomore, Amy Cole, who had a normal life.

Her life takes a complete turn as her childhood crush, Brandon Mayhew, the Mayor's son, who once broke her heart, rushes back into her life through a series of events. With new friends, shifting thoughts, confused feelings and fighting anxiety and standing for the right thing. Amy makes her way to the top. Only to get at the top of everyone's hate list.

The Rise of Raven (18+) ☑ by Zondra_Allison

(Steamy) This is a standalone spin off from the Distorted Windows Trilogy. You do not have to read them first but is recommended. THIS IS AN EROTIC ROMANCE! IT IS RECOMMENDED 18+ for vulgar language, very explicit sex scenes and some violence. (I tried to post an excerpt from the most tamed part of the book. Hahaha. The sex scenes are intense.) Excerpt: My hands moved to his hair, my fingers sliding through the thick locks, urging him to move where I wanted to feel him most. Placing soft gentle kisses down to my inner thigh, he then moved his head to the other leg, repeating the process. The teasing was becoming too much, my legs parting as I gripped his hair, trying to tug him towards my center. His soft chuckle caused hot breath to fan over my folds, a gasp escaping as my head pushed back against the pillow under my head. "Please Kai." "Mm, I love the sound of you begging." His tongue flicked out, sliding up and down my slit at a slow tortuous pace. "Tell me what you want, Raven." Panting, my hands fisting his hair, my hips thrust forward. "I need more." He growled, a delicious feral sound as he buried his face between my thighs. *** Lilly Vanderbrooke and her twin brother are both running from a past that they would rather forget. Moving back to the hometown and the house that they were born in, they quickly become acquainted with their new neighbor. Quiet, reserved Lilly discovers that her new neighbor is awakening something in her that has been dormant for years. Kai Carter comes from a troubled childhood and has done some really shady things in his past. He may have a less than desirable reputation, but there is so much more than meets the eye. When he first lays eyes on the gorgeous Raven-haired beauty, something deep inside instantly draws him to her. From their very first encounter, sparks fly, and the connection is intense on both sides. Join them on their journey of growth, self-discovery and electrically charged sexual attraction!

My Next Door Neighbor by Martinez_Moon

"Listen I know we've been flirting and shit but that doesn't mean I like you, okay" I cross my arms again and slightly smirk. He smirks down at me and he opens his beautiful mouth. "If that's true, then why did I hear you using the dildo while moaning my name?" Son of a bitch. ____________________________________ Being friends with your neighbor isn't that bad. Need milk? He's got it. Need sugar? She's got it. Ever since she moved into the apartment next door to him, they got close and eventually became close friends.

If you had nothing to lose... •••••••••• "Yes Ally?" she heard him husk in her ear suddenly. She stiffened before forcing herself to relax and turn to face her best friend. "I didn't call you over here," she told him calmly. "I know but you were staring so hard I figured you needed something," he told her with his infuriating smirk. She smiled sweetly in return, "Now, what could I possibly want from you?" His eyes roamed over her face for a minute before his arm shot out and wrapped around her waist. She let out a surprised gasp as she suddenly found herself pressed up against him. She shivered involuntarily as she felt his breath fan her face and stiffened again as she realized how close his face was to her own. •••••••• A story about a group of friends going after the boys they've been secretly in love with for all of high school. It's the end of year senior party and it's now or never. They might not get the guy but they'll still have each other in the end.

Connections | ✔️ by CxTannir

[COMPLETE] Sorry 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.
