Running. It's all Kiera King has ever known. The art of escape, the freedom of movement, and the refuge of the next destination. As a travel writer, she's made it her career, constantly chasing new places, new stories, always outrunning something-until she ends up in the rugged, windswept highlands of Scotland.

There, she meets Elon Sutherland, a tall, grim Scotsman who believes in roots, in grounding, in staying put. His world is a stark contrast to hers, and when their paths collide, it's nothing short of a brutal clash. His rudeness hits her indifference, and neither one is willing to back down. They're not polar opposites, but their worlds are so far apart that they might as well be. They weren't meant to cross paths. Or so they thought.

But life, as it often does, has a way of throwing two people together when they least expect it. As their lives become more intertwined, Kiera begins to feel something she's never allowed herself to-something she can't run from. A forbidden feeling begins to bloom in her heart, the idea of staying, of not running away for the first time in her life. But what happens when a heart that only knows how to be fickle is confronted with the possibility of something real?

Kiera is forced to face the one thing she's spent her whole life avoiding: staying. And as the pull between her and Elon grows stronger, she must decide-will she continue to run, or will she face the hardest challenge of all: staying for love?

------- He loved the girl that can't love him.....And now he can't love the girl that loves him -------- ** "Don't worry.." I say, getting up off the chair and walking around him on my way out, my scarf running through his fingers lightly until it slips out. He tilts his head back over the back of his chair in a lazy laid back way, his thumb and fingers now holding his chin, as he watches me leave, still with a small smile on his face. "I won't break your heart." I turn around and say lightly, jokingly, just to tease him. His smile fades. "You won't...because you can't break what's already broken." He says more seriously. ******* Once bitten, twice shy Such is the case for Aaron Bishop, who after a failed marriage, decides that love and all things related, is not worth the trouble. So he moves forward with his future, making sure that no woman is unclear about his intentions about love, or carries any hopes of marriage and happily ever after..that is not in his destiny. It's really simple actually: -Nothing lasts forever... especially love. -Nothing is long term... When it comes to his relationships. -Everyone is replaceable... So don't get too comfortable. But that is not to say that the ride will not be exceptionally enjoyable, while it lasts.. But such an arrangement, is not something Raquel St Patrick can wrap her head around. Whimsical, Peculiar, Optimistic, Independent, Eccentric, Deviant...are all words one can use to describe her, Her very nature is to go against the odds. For her, it's all or nothing. Can Aaron convince her to jump along on the ride with him on his terms....?

"You have no idea how badly I want to make love to you," he responds with a shake of his head. "I love you so much," he continues and my heart melts. "I love you," I whisper back. "Okay, I'm going to make love to you now, Angel. It will hurt a little, so let me know if it hurts too much," he says and leans down to kiss me. "I'll be gentle," he tells me. Keeping his eyes locked on mine he shifts his hips forward slightly and enters inside of me. My mouth widens as he enters, and I feel a slight pinch. He was right, it does hurt, but it's not terrible. "Christ! You're the sun!" he calls out. I watch his face crumble. He buries his face in my neck and then he's above me again, his hands on my cheeks again. ... For 20 year old Alison Scott, love was never something she deemed herself worthy of.

If You Love Me by sunflowerboulevard

In the first second that I laid my eyes on you, everything that I have ever wanted out of life flashed right before my eyes. I could envision us going on picnics, stuffing our faces until we felt sick, holding hands until there was nothing but sweat between us, and introducing you to my parents in hopes that they would love you just an ounce of the way that I loved you. I could see us fighting over the remote only to end up not paying attention to the television program at all. And most of all, I could see you meaning something special to me- being that one consistent person in my life. But that second soon ended and I did not even know your name. Avery Davenport is an artist chaos. On the outside, a girl with her head in books, paint on her fingertips, and one foot in front of the other. On the inside, a girl with hate in her heart, regret in her veins, and self-loathing in her every system. Following a tragic turn of events, she begins to spiral. A tragic and fatal ending that she didn't have the answers to completely causes her to unravel. Pain slowly begins to be masked in the beds of the boys she meets, in her dark and quiet room, and subsequently on the ledge of her dorm room balcony. She didn't believe in hope or happy endings, never having conjured up one for herself or others, not until she met him. Dean Carter is all things remarkable. On the outside, a boy with ironed clothes, hair always perfected, and an ever dashing smile that could melt one's every sorrow. On the inside, a boy with cognizance in his brain, hope in his veins, and loneliness in his heart. Everything in his life has happened according to plan. His every happiness stems from medical books, sunsets, and seeing his loved ones smile. He has never been in love, never so much as thought about a girl beyond what left her lips, not until he met her. Please read the foreword for trigger warnings and disclaimers.

Heartthrob - COMPLETED by PositivumQuestae
50 parts Complete Mature
In the quiet moments after her grandparents' passing, Abelia found solace in her own company. The loss had left a void in her heart, a void that she hadn't known how to fill. During the day, she was a corporate agent, handling negotiations and deals with finesse, but at night, she became a different person. Love, for Abelia, had always been a complicated matter. She had seen the tumultuous side of it, the way it could bring joy and pain in equal measure. Yet, she had never been one to actively seek it out. It was as if love was an enigmatic puzzle, one she hadn't yet figured out how to solve. Irwin Mcflurry, her beloved beau was different from anyone Abelia had ever known. He was patient, understanding, and compassionate - qualities that seemed almost otherworldly in the fast-paced, cutthroat world they lived in. Irwin saw past Abelia's tough exterior, recognizing the vulnerability that lay beneath. As they spent more time together, Abelia found herself questioning her choices. Could love truly be a source of healing rather than pain? Could she let someone in, allowing herself to be vulnerable again? Irwin's unwavering support and genuine affection started to chip away at the walls around her heart. As the nights turned into days and the days into weeks, Abelia wrestled with her feelings. She was torn between the familiarity of solitude and the allure of love. The pages of her story turned, revealing a complex tapestry of emotions, a struggle between the past and the present, between self-preservation and opening her heart to the unknown. The answer, like the turning of the pages, remained elusive, waiting to be discovered in the depths of Abelia's soul. The journey continued, and with each step, she moved closer to unraveling the mysteries of her own heart. Words Count: 80,469 (Chapter 1 to 47)
