Ari Booth is a lovable and sweet 17 year old who on the outside, appears to be flawless. She's pretty, gets on with everybody and it always smiling. It's not surprising she's got everyone convinced that everything is okay.
On the inside she's hurting.
She's extremely insecure, lonely, and facing overwhelming anxiety. In fact, it's eating her alive. Trapping her, consuming her, dragging her down slowly every single day that she's so close to giving up.
Until..
Meet Ryder Ellis. Super hot, 6'4'' footballer from Australia who just started studying at Lakewood private and boarding school. He's flirty, confident and all the girls love him. It's hard to believe he wouldn't follow the attention, but all he seems to see, is her.

The Rival Hypothesis
Aria Foster has always stood out-not just for her sharp wit and unapologetic confidence, but for dreaming bigger than anyone around her. For her, science is more than grades; it's a way to change the world. But college isn't just experiments and lectures. It's relentless rivalry, especially with Ryan Clark-the brilliant, precise, awkward genius set on joining NASA. They've spent years battling over test scores, research grants, and the spotlight. No one pushes Aria's buttons quite like Ryan, and he's never let anyone challenge his logic-until now. She's daring and unpredictable; he's orderly and disciplined. Both stand on the edge of their dreams, unwilling to lose to the other. One challenge. Two enemies. And a dangerous hypothesis that could blur the line between rivalry and desire-an experiment neither of them is prepared to survive. ✧✧✧ "You love testing me, don't you?" he mutters, grip tightening around her waist. "Maybe I just like watching you lose control," she teases, her lips inches from his. His breath hitches, but his tone stays dangerous. "Careful. You won't like what happens when I finally snap." She leans in, whispering against his mouth. "Try it. I dare you."

Summer, school, gossip, and jealousy collide, and Ava learns the hard way: loving Ryder Hale isn't safe, it isn't easy... and it's absolutely, irrevocably, burning hot.Complete![My Endless Road [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/27886735-256-k365722.jpg)

The Beast's Kryptonite
"Mine." His low growl of possession took my heart and the fate of my panties. They were soaked through with arousal. Damn it. I stroked his face as he sniffed the air. I prayed he couldn't smell my body's reaction to his. His hand slipped from my waist and traveled to the rip in my dress. "I can smell how much your body craves mine." My breath catches as his hand finds it home at the front of my panties. "Why don't you just submit yourself to me? Accept that you are mine and mine alone?" His hand was traveling lower, and he found my clit rubbing it through my underwear. I couldn't help but lean my head back and moan out at his skillful administration on my pussy."Moan, my name, my innocent mate. Tell everyone who is making you feel this pleasure."He had ripped my underwear off me and threw them across to hit another tree. He propped me up against the tree, causing me to hold onto his shoulders for support as his fingers took advantage of my spread legs, my dress completely exposing my pussy to him."Absolutely Ravishing." One of his thick fingers pumped its way into my hole, causing me to moan loudly into his ear. "Seth." ********* Seth Knight was not one for romance; everyone at Quillwood High School knew that.

It Wasn't Love ✔️
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape.
