All I Ever Knew by __Lati_

"He picks me up and puts me on the table. I watch him as he undoes his belt, reaching for my pantie, but there's nothing there. "Oh," he says. "I hope nobody saw anything while you were dancing." "If they did, good for them," I say while laughing, but I stop when I realize I'm the only one laughing. I guess he didn't find that funny. I think to myself as he pulls me closer to him. "I place my hand around her neck while kissing her. As I go inside with a groan" It all started with Colin, a rich and popular guy with a bad temper who doesn't listen to what anyone says. He and his boys decided to go to this new nightclub that had just opened. What will Colin do when he sees a girl who captures his attention? Unlike every other girl Colin has come across, she's not just looking for a one-night stand.

LUCAS I sat next to her on the couch and brushed her hair from her face. She was all sweaty. " Lucas ..?" She hummed. " I'm here.." " I'm sorry, I'm an embarrassment..." I chuckled. "No you're fine you just drank too much. We were trying to sober you up, then we found you at the bar drinking shots!" It was really a funny sight as I recalled. " Lucas ?" Her eyes pried open again and she stared at me. "Yeah?" " Will you stay with me tonight?" SKYLAR He hugged me again. I could never get enough of his hugs, and still I wanted more. I wanted more than that with him. It hurt so much knowing that it could never be so. "Don't be sorry, I'm just happy I got to you in time." Lucas' voice was so gentle, so sweet and sincere. If I didn't pull away from him I would start to cry again. I held my breath, my hand pressed a little more on his back. As I did this though I felt him tense up from my touch. "S-sorry," I stammer and attempted to pull away, but he brought me back into his chest. "Don't." his voice was firm. "Don't...let go." ********************************************************************* Their near death experience on a flight to NY causes two strangers to meet.

Barry's life by irisekkeri

Two people fall in love in unlikely circumstances. They have a lot of psychological issues and mistrusts in the order of things to prevent them from finding themselves and each other. I am a reader of crime novels and hard science fiction almost exclusively, and yet this story, which I have been writing for a long time, is a love story, I can't explain it even to myself. The characters will have to work through hardship and evolve to be able to surrender to the magical things around them and the flow of the universe and the love of other people. This story still is a work in progress, it has holes and it is to be continued

Broken and Bruised by Vixenn404

When you are bartending, substituting for a friend and a frat boy slides you a fifty, hoping you'll spend a night with him. Instead of going completely feral which would be the most expected outcome and understandably so. You tell him your boyfriend just arrived. So you saunter your butt in tight black jeans up to a tall dark and dangerous, asking him to be your pretend boyfriend. The inked grump stares down at you but acts like he hasn't heard your request so mortified beyond belief, you are about to slink back to the bar. That's when he moves. He grasps you by the belt loop of the jeans and tugs you close and goes ahead to then then kiss the breath out of you. You are so consumed by this stranger that when you hear his companion chuckle, you pull away, embarrassment coating your cheeks red. The man let's you go and says, "he's gone." You head back to the bar and a regular, aka your bestfriend stops you and asks, "Do you have any idea who you just kissed? " ***** And that ladies and gentlemen is how I met HIM, My saviour.

Taking Chances [18+] by StephanieWithAnA

"If you're so sure you're not the guy for me, then why do you keep coming back to me?" "Isn't it obvious?" Chance groaned. "You're too good to give up on." "Too good?" I echoed. Chance nodded and grinned down at me, lowering his mouth to the neckline of my dress where the top of my breasts were exposed. "Too good," he mumbled against my skin. "You taste too good," he licked his lips and moaned softly. Brushing his nose up the side of my neck, he murmured, "You smell too good, too." .... The first three chapters of this story are about a threesome between 2 women and a man. I left the ending open to continue on with the story. If you choose to only read the first three chapters, that is your choice. If you want to read a racy romance full of sexual tension, feel free to continue.
