Sins of Aiden by -honeycream-

"You know I'll find out who did that to you. And they better wish for a headstart." I snap my gaze up. His voice turned awry in my ears at the menacing promise. I stare at him, blinking.

Broken and Bent by VaehC3703

She puts on a mask that portrays that she's happy and everything is fine. But that's just it, everything is "fine". She's lived her life in fear, no wonder that's her middle name.

The Bad Boy Craves Me✔ by jhenny_pink

"Do I seem like an idiot to you princess?" he sassed taking another agonizingly slow step towards me. "N-no." I stuttered out a blabbering mess, unable to think straight with his sudden closeness. "Do I have to show who you belong to again Bella?" "I-don't know." I whispered out too far gone within the eyes of the silver eyed God like boy standing before me. "Then why do you defy me princess, or is it that you want me to punish you?" I was trapped within his beautiful orbs unable to register the utter madness he just voiced, the word fell off my lips almost breathless begging for him to take me. "Yes." His lips curved to the side showing his God forbidden mischievous smirk of his. I had just now registered the consequences of my stupidity. __________________ This book contains strong languages read at owns risk. UNEDITED.

Can You Keep My Secret? by moonprince87

"You know, most people wouldn't trust someone like me with so many secrets." "But you shared those secrets with me" Aiden murmured. "And if you trust me with secrets like those, how can I not show you the same amount of trust?" He couldn't see him, but he could hear the smile in Kazimir's voice. "That is true. But promise me one thing." "Anything." "You have to not speak a word of this ever. I'm no one and you don't know me" Kazimir whispered into Aiden's hair. Aiden nodded again. "I understand. Don't worry, Kazimir. Your secret is safe with me." Aiden finds himself caught in a tough situation when he catches a man carrying a dead body on his shoulder. Defenseless and clueless, he is kidnapped by the strange man and taken to an unknown place that appears to have no way out. Although he is curious about his kidnapper's story, he wants nothing to do with him. Or maybe he does and just doesn't want to admit it... Warning: Includes mature language, violence, disturbing scenes, and sex Pronunciation of Kazimir: Kah-zee-meer

Heartstrings by bossbitch3000

As two souls together intertwined And as two guarded hearts turned blind, What started off as hate, later served as a bind And now for them, all the stars and moons like fate alined. What ever happens and no matter life's pusillanimity Our heartstrings connect us to infinity ___________________________________________ It was starting to get warm. Still not breaking eye contact, Landon put one hand under my chin and lifted my head up. We were inches apart at this point. Due to our height difference, I stood on my tiptoes, in hopes of reaching his face, and he bent down to reach mine. I could feel his warm minty breath on my lips as he cupped one of my cheeks with his hand, but only after tucking a stray strand of hair behind my ear. Suddenly, Clyde busted the door open causing Landon and I to quickly fall apart. Clyde seemed out of breath and very agitated... #8heartstings (01/30/2020) #9mexican-american (1/9/2021) #9mayhem (04/17/2020)

"Who are you exactly?!" I growled angrily. She tried to free herself from my grasp, but I pinned her to the wall. She glared at me angrily as she kept pushing me. "I don't fucking need to tell you anything!" She spat. "I am not leaving until you tell me!" I whispered angrily as I leaned in closer. I felt her stiffening up, and as I felt she will reveal, instead she smirked as she whispered in my ear, "You don't want to do something Aiden, which you might regret later!"

Twitterpated by elutopia

Book #1 in the 'Roundabout Series' Twitterpated (adj.) excited or overcome with romantic feelings ;smitten ; love-struck _______________ "You okay? Your face is all red" Aiden stepped closer, concern swirling in that low lidded emerald gaze of his. Matias' heart rate increased at their proximity. He averted his gaze once more, suddenly not having the courage to look the beautiful brunette in the eyes as he stumbled over his words "mm? Yeah you're just hot, shit I mean I'm just hot. Yeah, I'm just getting hot" he clenched his eyes shut, placing a hand over his face as if that would save him from the embarrassment he was currently facing, aka, himself. When he spoke again, his voice was so soft, it may as well have been considered a whisper "it's just hot in here is all" _______________

Facade by polluxo

Alejandra Martinez had the perfect life until she lost her mom and childhood to a violent tragedy that she witnessed. As a result, her dad fell into many patterns of abuse, leaving her to deal with the aftermath of it all. She continued life as best as she could with little hope for anything and trust in absolutely nothing, turning into someone her mother wouldn't recognize, doing whatever she needs to do to cope as well as to protect herself. During her junior year at Lower East Side High School, she meets Gabriel Santiago. He's known throughout the halls for his association with the most dangerous gang in the city, as well as his ice cold demeanor, all at the age of 17. He's as heartless as it gets - at least that's what everyone thinks. The two know nothing about each other. Despite this, they still find reasons to dislike one another. But as time goes on, and they continue to cross paths, something changes. Both begin to realize that there's a whole different side of the other that nobody knows about, yet it's the side that they might not hate about one another. That's what makes it even more complicated. As they each dig deeper past the facade the other has created over the years, it becomes dangerous for everyone involved.
