Love isn't a right, it's a desire. It can be ripped away just as easily as it came.
Rayne is a junior at NYU and has had a rough past. She solves her problems with sex, movie nights, and her best friends. She also prefers to go through her days constantly denying the fact that she may not be okay. She has banished the mere thought of falling in love from her mind, she'd rather run in the opposite direction. Its less painful that way.
"No relationships. No feelings"
She's scarred and broken. She desperately tries to put the pieces of her wrecked past back together but nothing works. Nothing sticks. Not until him.
Atlas is a junior and a college soccer athlete and isn't your average player. He'd rather spend his time with his nose in a book. From the moment he first laid eyes on her and experienced her stubbornness first hand, he was hooked. He didn't know why that was, nor did he know how to stop it.
He'd never met anyone as alluring as her. He'd also never met anyone more willing to dive off a cliff than have a conversation with him. He was constantly drawn in, no matter how many times she pulled back.
That didn't stop his persistence to want her. To know her. To love her.
What happens when Rayne and Atlas cross paths and he is dead set on making her fall for him?
Will she be able to resist his charm? She has a witty, sarcastic, bitchy personality and refuses to let him in, so this will be difficult.
Will Rayne be able to stick to her pact with herself to not fall for someone? Will love be ripped away from her like she has experienced?
Does she even deserve to be loved?
"No, I don't. You deserve better."

Connections | ✔️
[COMPLETE] Sorry this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.

Futher From The Truth
And he rewarded me - with his mouth. It found the underside of my bra, dragging along the lace with unbearable slowness. His lips brushed the fabric, then parted. He sucked lightly, through it, eyes still locked on mine. My back arched off the bed with a sound I didn't recognize - part gasp, part moan, part plea. "Fuck," he growled against me, voice shaking now too. "You drive me insane." His hand gripped my waist, thumb brushing the sensitive dip between rib and hip, holding me steady as his mouth continued its path - tasting, teasing, retracing places he'd already kissed like he wasn't finished with them. Golden light poured over his shoulders, bathing him in fire. The muscles in his back flexed with every movement - tight, tense, like he was restraining himself from going too far, too fast. His skin glistened with a faint sheen, each dip and ridge of his body cut in gold and shadow. He looked otherworldly. Feral. Controlled chaos wrapped in a perfect body. And still, his hands were gentle. His touch was reverent. His mouth... devastating. _____________________________ Alani, a young, beautiful woman, has been abused her whole life by her father.

Love with strings detached
I put on a show only for him in front of hundreds of people. I bring one hand up to my hair flicking them to the other side, trailing that hand down to my sternum and then my boob as I keep swaying my hips from to side, bending my knees as I lower myself a bit to the ground before sharply standing up again and slowly spinning around, circling my hips. I run my hands through the back of my hair before nailing my gaze on his eyes, slowly walking up to him. I watch him as he wets his lips before biting his plumb bottom one, eyes trailing up my body. Once I reach him, I wrap my arms around his neck and run my fingers through his hair as I press my body up against his. His hands shoot out to grab me from my lower waist, pulling me even closer to him as he pushes a leg between mine, staring into my eyes. I turn my head to the side and brush my lips against his ear before licking and biting his earlobe the same way I did at the party before whispering a few words he was dying to hear.
