No!', Alexis lamented as she changed every news channel. There can't possibly be a lockdown, not when am here', she cried out. Every news channel seemed to be carrying the same news, the broadcast was not in her favor. She threw the remote on the white leather chair. I can't stay here and not in this house, she whined.
On Thursday Alexis had taken a midnight plane to Houston to pick up her certificate which she had left behind the night she left his house for good. She decided to go on Thursday and leave on Friday morning knowing that he would be back on Friday night for the weekend

His footsteps closer, how would she face him? How would she survive under the same roof with her ex in the middle of a pandemic?

THIS BOOK IS UNDERGOING MAJOR REWRITING... READ AT YOUR OWN RISK A squeak left my mouth involuntarily as the hands scared me out of my daze. Turning, I came to face to face with a caramel tinted face. His tanned skin contrasts his green and honey colored eyes that were boring into mine. His hold on my waist disappeared and I took this opportunity to edge my way away from the window stopping against the wall to slow the pounding of my heart. What the... He's completely topless his jeans hanging so low off his hips. I swear if they were any lower I'd be looking at the top of his.. you know... The heat rushed through my cheeks at the thought of the word. He looked over at my face a smirk evident. Shit. I'm staring.. 'Like what you see?' Oh God.. Alexis is human. What else would she be? She's been read the fairytale stories and tucked in at night but it's all just fiction right? What will happen when she goes head to head with a boy who's not human at all? Oh.. Did I mention she is his mate? Lies, deception.. Love is a battlefield right?? 'May the odds be ever in your favour.'

Blissfully Trapped Online
Coronavirus is widespread, forcing civilians to stay at home. They were worried, indeed, and it's better not to risk their lives anyway. The story was different for the extremely extroverted 17-year-old Gon Freecss, who's been dying to leave and talk with his friends. Alas, his aunt was overly strict about the topic. So, he finally was introduced to the online world that every introvert appreciates. He didn't know that Online relationships can be this strong- he didn't know that he'd fall in love with someone, who didn't show him a face. He loved Killua under the name 'Electrified' and wished for more every time they text, wished for more every time he teases, wished for more every time Killua fumbled with his keys because of embarrassment. It was Gon's fun time to tease the boy, have fun, forget about COVID-19. He didn't know that he'll appreciate someone online and love him truly anyway. Phone sex, nudes, and more, Gon had his ultimate fun teasing the boy over the screen. But, both of them cherished every moment without them knowing... ••• "Mito! Please open the door! I have to meet him! Please!" Killua yelled, his suitcase rested beside him outside the doorstep. He was knocking harshly on the door, noting that Mito is a few steps away but not responding. "Killua, leave." Responded Mito. The grieving tone in her voice broke something inside the stubborn boy, who knocked harsher on Gon's door. "No, Gon needs me. Please, I want him to know that I am here! H-He has to know!" Protested the wrecked Killua, sliding down on his knees, his hands and head resting on the door. "I will tell him that you came to visit..." Said Mito, finalizing any possibilities to go inside... ••Notice: Explicit Scenes will be skipped on Wattpad. The story will be deleted at some point.

a thousand instincts (#1)
Life Lesson #1: If you are planning on going to a nightclub in the middle of sketchy, dark woods, don't. Life Lesson #2: If there are too many attractive, healthy people in said nightclub, be alarmed and rethink Life Lesson #1. Life Lesson #3: If you were foolish enough to ignore rules 1 and 2, I suggest you haul ass. Aeress is one of those special people who obviously need a couple more life lessons... ----------------------------------------------------------------- He chuckled. It was dry but it was an addictive sound. "No," he brought his nose against her collar, "not at all." His lips skimmed over her exposed skin. She sighed at his touch, riding the sweet, overwhelming waves that came with. "You've barely touched me," Aeress had her hands skimming up the back of his neck and in between his strands. "And I'm falling apart." His voice was a little hollow and this worried her. "The bond we have is responsible for that." She tugged at him until he looked up. For a moment she just basked in how handsome he was. "I don't think so," she leaned in for a kiss, "I think that you are just about the most fascinating man I have ever met. And we have only just met. I don't think a bond can simply erase the will of an independent woman like me." His eyes came to life with a blazing fire. He closed the distance between them and kissed sensation back into her body, setting off every nerve in her flesh. Everything came to a boiling point, sizzling with need. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ °°MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT OF ALL KINDS, AND I MEAN ALL KINDS°° Highest Rank: #7 in Werewolf, #79 in RomanceComplete

Salazar's Caged Love
She was just an ordinary girl from today's world- a routine life, a beating heart, a future she thought she controlled. Until the night he came for her. Salazar. An ancient vampire king born in a world far older, darker, and colder than time itself. A creature carved from shadows, bloodlust, and laws written long before humans learned to speak. He steps through her century like it's nothing- breaking rules, bending time, crossing worlds- just to steal one terrified girl from her ordinary life and drag her into his. She wakes up in a place where the sky roars in crimson colors, where magic runs beneath the earth, where creatures bow at his feet and tremble at his silence. She is his captive. His forbidden fascination. His weakness in a world where men like him are not allowed to feel anything at all. She fears him. He tastes her fear like hunger. But there's something else in her scent- something soft, something pure, something he never expected: innocence. And for a monster who has lived centuries bathing in blood, her innocence is the sharpest temptation he has ever known. She wants to go home. He has no intention of returning her. Because in his world, time is power. Magic is law. And once a vampire king chooses someone, the universe bends to obey him. She didn't enter another world by accident. She was taken. Claimed. Bound to a destiny written long before her birth. And Salazar? He is ready to tear apart worlds, timelines, and kingdoms just to keep the girl who wasn't supposed to be his- but now is.Complete

The Rose Garden (3) - Taylor Swift
