READ AUTHOR'S NOTE IN DESCRIPTION BEFORE READING.
(Excerpt from the prologue--I suck at descriptions)

If you asked me when I fell in love with Ryker, I wouldn't be able to tell you, but if you asked me what I loved about him, I could talk about it all day. We've known each other since kindergarten, and no one knows me better than he does. I can't say whether anyone knows him better than I do, because even 15 years later, it seems like I learn new things about him every day. I know about the heart shaped birthmark on his chest, right above his actual heart, and I know all of his insecurities. The one thing I swear I'll never know is how he truly feels about me. 
     He touches me as if he loves me, and he swears that I'll always have a part of his heart, regardless of how small it might seem. I question everyday if he means that, and seeing him with other women will always hurt me. I'd give him anything he asked of me, but deep down, I know that when he says the same he doesn't mean it. Even if he thinks he does mean it. Maybe in the moment he does. But do words mean anything when actions never change?
     I don't believe in soul mates, and if it weren't for him, I wouldn't believe in love either. He's a hopeless romantic, and it doesn't take much for him to fall head over heels. At one point in time, I used to be the same way. One kiss from him changed that, and it wasn't even supposed to mean anything; we were high and playing spin the bottle at his best friend's sixteenth birthday party. 
     It wasn't supposed to mean anything, and yet-to me, it was everything. 
     I only wish it were the same for him. 



Author's Note: intended for mature audiences and has sexual scenes, along with mental illness depictions (Astrid has borderline personality disorder and self harms). No self harm scenes (ew, who does that in 2021???). I don't recommend reading this if you are uncomfortable with any of these things.All Rights Reserved

"Didn't you--Didn't you say you liked... when I overpowered you." I gnawed on my lip as my eyes fluttered to a close when his large hand sensually groped at my bare breast, thumb rolling my hardening nub under the digit. "I said I was a switch Sunhee." A low growl sounded directly in my ear, breath fanning the skin. Lips took my earlobe in his mouth, a playful tongue flicking at the flesh every so often. "𝙄'𝙢 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖 𝙨𝙪𝙗 𝙞𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙙." ꒷︶꒷꒥꒷‧₊˚꒷︶꒷꒥꒷‧₊˚꒷︶꒷꒥꒷‧₊˚꒷︶꒷꒥꒷‧₊˚ Hybrids and their soulmates. It's a simple concept that many humans have grown to understand over the years. A concept many crave to become a part of. Albeit, that doesn't guarantee the simple success in finding their mate. In fact, it's a process that can easily span for several years--several years with a large gaping hole in the center of their heart. And in Sunhee's case, she had seven aching holes, seven colorless marks that reminded her daily that she was mateless. For two years, she's been without any of her mates, and she had started to get pissed off with the universe for not even sparing her one. So when she gradually began to find her soulmates, she became the most ecstatic hybrid of them all. Her days of being romantically alone had came to an end, and she was undoubtedly content with her new beginning with them. She just didn't realize that they were kinda... ravenous. And clingy. And too fucking fine. TW‼️: This story will--eventually--contain HEAVY smut, so if that's not your cup of tea I'd highly advise against reading this! Frequent cursing, violence, kinks (bdsm, exhibitionism, etc.), and mild sexual assault will also be present. Viewer discretion is advised!

Jazmine: CEO's Temptation by crazy_writer_97

*Book 1 of CEO series* "Am I a villain?" Mr. Martinez probed, pinning me with his intense gaze. "Yes!" He chuckled and instantly he took two large steps and stood in front of me, "If I am a villain," trapping me, Adrian placed his hands on the table on either side of me, "I wouldn't have stopped that night with just a kiss even when I wanted to do more with you. Even when you were in a completely vulnerable stage to let me have you the way I want, Miss Jazmine Garcia." ** Adrian Martinez, a CEO of the multi-billionaire company, Martinez Constructions. Holds the top rank in the business world. He was known for being a workaholic, cold-hearted, well-respected, and the most eligible bachelor in New York. Women flatter him but since he saw Jazmine he was head over heels for her. Jazmine Garcia is a 23-year-old girl with many responsibilities on her head. A very kind-hearted but reckless. No matter what, she doesn't let people disesteem her. But no one had a glimpse of her crush on her bestfriend's brother, Adrian Martinez. But things will get wild when Jazmine steps into his life as an intern at his company. Little did she know that Adrian's intention was not just to make her work or pay her salary but something else. The thing she never imagined in her rarest dreams gave her pleasure and Adrian soon turned out to be her only craving. ** "And it would be better if we keep a professional relationship. Just like a boss and employee. And never try to manhandle me the way you are doing now." And I turned around. I approached the door, but Adrian whirled me and pinned me against the door by my shoulders. "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." Adrian laughed, "You dreamed of me spanking you." I nodded my head. "And you thought my punishment would be that simple." And his words made my breath stuck in my throat.

Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt) by fanoshkaflippo

Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book. It shows you how they both work on changing for the better, while trying to overcome the obstacles in their relationship and fight for each other till the end. ** Warning!! Some chapters contain sexual scenes, but there's always a warning at the head of the chapter. Do not read them if you're under 18.** * Also, please beware that this story contains a lot of swearing.

The Journalist, The General, and The Pirate by Acid5801

Decades. He'd wasted decades of his life doing what? Chasing the minuscule sparks of passion to ease the aching void in his chest? Wasn't there something better? Someone to guide him away from the misery? Distract him from the life he couldn't escape from? There were days he didn't know which way was up and where the sea began. Where the skies collided with the dirt and delved into the inferno of the hells. The whispers of creatures that should have had no interest in a mortal caressing the shell of his ears. Beings he believed to be just as mortal as himself and if one observed their flaws they might have been. Walking the city grounds and sailing the oceans as easily as anyone. Blockades of fire and ice prevented their hands from intertwining. Now he balanced atop the wall. Grabbing both with shaky arms and keeping them close. Please don't leave. Fangs and claws used to claim him. Gentle kisses and caresses to calm him. Breathless words pulled him deeper into the madness. Further into inky darkness speckled with blinding light. Granting him everything he never knew he'd wanted. A dream come reality. Strange how love could spark from pain. How fickle. And how much he only wanted more. ((Heelloooo, thanks for clicking. :3 Its been quite a bit since I've written anything but I wanted to try something new. Been into making my own novels and stories and this ones an au based around the chars of my current works. This is gonna be a m/m story. Well theres three of them but who doesnt love a love triangle.

Maybe by IronyDreams

An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever. Or perhaps she fears him. Fears that he'll leave her again. Will their lives ever return to normal after everything they've endured? "Maybe?" "Maybe yes. Maybe no?" --- Started: 8 November 2021 Ended: 19 December 2022 Rewritten: December 2024 --- ### Rankings Goals So Far: #1 Adolescente #1 given up #1 blinddates #1 pretend #10 twistedromance #50 high school romance --- ### Notice: This is my first published story, and it contains numerous grammatical errors and bad editing.

I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy by Beautiful_Tragedy8

CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.

His Heart, Mine by venuserve

She swears she hates him. He's convinced he hates her more. But when secrets, lies, and late-night whispers begin to blur the line between enemies and something they wouldn't even consider, neither of them is ready for what's coming. *** Aliana is loud, impulsive, and dangerously unpredictable. She lies when she's scared, smiles when she's breaking, and keeps everyone away with her endless sarcasm and sharp tongue. She doesn't need anyone. Especially not him. Ali is silent storms and cold stares. The boy with the bad reputation, a past no one talks about, and a temper that makes people flinch. He wants nothing to do with drama, especially when it wears red lipstick and calls him names. They can't stand each other. So why do they keep ending up alone in the same room? Why does every fight feel like foreplay? And why does hating him hurt more than it should? ~~~~~~ He kisses me, again and again, raw and consuming, and then pulls away; I can feel his green eyes piercing my soul. "What you told me last time, say it again," he whimpers breathlessly. "What?" I manage to ask, confused, and reel him in again for another kiss. He pulls back again, his breath hot against my skin. "That you hate me, tell me that you hate me." "I hate you," I tell him almost instantly, the lie burning on my tongue. He kisses me harder and more hungrily, and the words slip out again from my tongue: "I hate you. I hate you. I hate you." His murmurs deepen into groans, and at this exact moment, I ask myself how I'm still standing, still breathing, still present. ~~~~~~

But, this whole 'playing hard to get' is getting old." He smirked. "Wow" I rolled my eyes scoffing "great logic! Will that be all for today or-" "Nope I have one thing left to say" as he stepped closer to me, whilst I stood firmly. "Ok, enlighten me." I sarcastically remarked.

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.
