A brooding man with a dangerous secret.
And a girl who just wants to forget about her grief.
After the sudden death of her sister, 19 year old Ophelia Collins wants to forget about her old life and her old town. So, what better way to do that than college. After receiving a scholarship to her dream school, her life is finally turning up, and she couldn't be more content with where she is...until she meets him. And with one encounter, he shakes her whole world.
He's brooding and cold. Scary and reserved. But for some reason Ophelia is more than drawn to him. Maybe it's the tattoos that line his body. Or the way his dark eyes stare into hers and leave her breathless. Or maybe, just maybe, he makes her feel more alive than she has in a long time...
"My heart is so full of you, I can hardly call it my own," he whispers on my lips. I close my eyes and relish in his words.
"I stole your heart?" I ask softly. My arms around his neck.
He pulls me closer, "I'm not letting you give it back. Ever."

SHORT AND FAST PACED STORY!!! ⚠️ "I've been trying not to do this" he whispers, his voice rough and low. "So stop trying" I whisper back. And then he kisses me. His lips are soft but insistent, coaxing mine open, pulling me deeper into him. One of his hands tangles in my damp hair, his fingers threading through the strands, tilting my head back slightly so he can kiss me the way he wants to. The other hand stays at the small of my back, his palm splayed wide, anchoring me against him. Chest to chest. Heartbeat to heartbeat. I lose all sense of time. All I know is the way his mouth moves against mine, the way his body curves into mine like it's always known the shape of me. The way his thumb traces lazy circles along my spine, sending shivers racing through my entire body. I kiss him back with everything I have, my hands fisting in the fabric of his shirt, pulling him closer, needing him closer. "This kiss just sealed the deal. You're mine and only mine now, Grace" Benjamin's voice is low and rough like gravel and laced with something primal.Complete

"You'll come back?" I just wanted him to assure me that he would be safe. He was strong yes, but I was conflicted. "Always, tulip." He gently stroked my hair as he extended his pinky finger. I extended mine too and his thumb pressed on mine in a promise and I relaxed slightly. ||Highest ranking|| #3 in protective 5/13/2023 #6 in humor 5/13/2023 #2 in adorable 5/20/2023 #7 in sweet-romance 5/22/2023 #1 in kind 5/25/2023 #2 in grumpy 5/30/2023 #7 in sweet 6/1/2023 #75 in love 6/3/2023 #3 in lovely 6/23/3023 #2 in soft 6/25/2023 #3 in slowburn 7/12/2023 #4 in sunshine 7/25/2023 #1 in smile 10/18/2023 #5 in cute 11/17/2023Complete
