"Ace," I whispered, feeling my breath hitch, as goosebumps covered my skin.
"Hmm," he replied, burying his face into the crook of my neck. He took a deep breath, sighing in content, while his hands moved up and down my bare waist. I closed my eyes shut, curling my toes.
"Someone... Someone will see us," I managed to squeak out, trying to push at his hands. He took my wrists and pinned them to the wall on either side of me, leaving me helpless.
"And?" He pulled away to look me in the eye. I bit my lip, able to hear my own heart beat as his hot breath traced against my lips.
"We'll get expelled," I said softly. His eyes flickered to my lips momentarily, before he gave me a small smile.
"No one is expelling us, Ava. And when I'm this close to you," he whispered, leaning in even closer, "getting expelled should be the least of your worries."

After losing her family in a tragic accident, Ava Clayton shifts to Hillcrest, to start a new life. New town, new school, new friends. Everything would become normal. Or so she hoped. The very first day, she catches the eye of the bullies of Hillcrest High School, who call themselves the 'Wolves'. When they decide to make Ava their new target, she realizes why it was so important to steer clear of them.
So what happens when Ava not only challenges their authority, but also ends up punching the leader of their group - the sexy bad boy every girl in Hillcrest High dreams of dating? Ace Argent wants revenge, and he decides the best way to get it is by shifting to her dorm room, as her new roommate, and make her life hell. Little does he know, the fragile girl is much more stubborn than he thought. When secrets are uncovered, and pasts catch up, Ava realizes the impossible: the bad boy has a heart, and she has unknowingly, stolen it. But his love comes with a price.
Ace Argent is possessive. And she is his new belonging. When the Devil falls for the Angel, what could possibly go wrong?
"He doesn't see you the way I do. He doesn't see the broken girl inside, a soul that just wants to be loved, protected, needed. But I do. I see you because I've made it my every damn mission to." His eyes held mine with a piercing stare. My breath caught in the back of my throat. "And you know what? I'd do it again, and again, and again, until you realise just how fucking badly I need you."
Avery Watkins hasn't always had it easy. Growing up with both parents struggling with addiction and trying to find her place in the world, she doesn't have much trust in others. So when Sonny, her current boyfriend comes along, he is positive, caring and everything she thinks she needs.
That is until she comes head to head with Sonny's flatmate, Harrison Shaw.
Harrison is a lot of things but positive isn't one of them. He is quiet, mysterious and equally as guarded as Avery. Not only that, he forces Avery to dance with the ghosts of her past whilst also uncovering his own.
But Avery soon finds out that what she has needed all along is right under her nose, or more specifically, in the bedroom next door.
And the wall between them may not be as thick as she believes.
