Harley Sansson is as bright as the stars. Braydon Madrias is as dark as the night. She's a florist. He's a CEO and mob boss. She sees the good in everyone and everything with the ideology that everyone deserves a chance. He sees the flaws and weaknesses of others without fear of exploiting them. They live completely different lives. They're both content without having anything new. Until they get a taste of what being in the others' presence is like. She sees in him what others won't. He doesn't see in her what he sees in others. Suddenly, new doesn't seem so bad. Suddenly, new sounds like the way to go. Suddenly, new sounds tempting.

"You weren't kidding about loving the rain. I don't think I know many people, especially women, who'd turn their face to the sky rather than away when it's actively raining. Won't your glasses get dirty?"
She throws me a pointed look. "Well guess what, Braid, I'm not like many people. I know how to clean my glasses with my shirt if necessary."
"That you aren't. And did you just call me Braid?"
She twists her lips. "Maybe."
Cute. "So that's how it's going to be?"
She nods, her lips stretched into an extremely wide grin.
"Maybe if I feed you, you'll bully me less."
She faces me, walking backwards into the door I'm holding open for her. "Don't bet on it, Mr. Madrias."
I let my face fall blank before glaring at her the way I would Tanton.
However, she just smiles and sashays over to the line in front of the cash register.
Definitely not like everyone else.

Impress Me Not: The Architect
"Oh no," the blond shook his head. "Oh no?" another man asked. "What's oh no?" "Will has the look," he looked at his partner in horror. "The 'we're going to make the riskiest decision in our life' look." "Hey," Will winked at all of them and put up his bow, "It's not life without a little risk, right?" *** He needed her. He loved her more than anything in the world. She used to be his everything. He hated her. She took everything from him. She took his happiness; his memories. He just wanted them back. He wanted her back. There were so many thoughts that fought for control of his mind. A part of him told him to try and go back to her, regardless of a silly restraining order. He would do anything to get back those happy smiles and laughter. But there were more thoughts that told him to stay there, next to the fascinating man that gave him curt replies, yet struck him to his very core like an arrow through the heart. He had started to overcome his maddening thoughts more often recently. "Oh, by the way," the man roared his sports car to life, looking at him through his sunglasses. "Whoever she is, she sounds like a bitch." *** This is a standalone story to the "Impress Me Not" series. Book 2, if you want to read them in order. Completed!Complete
She Is Not Her
"So Andrea, do you remember me now?", he asked through gritted teeth, anger, frustration, hatred and slight hurt clearly heard in his voice. "I am not Andrea, and I don't fucking remember you", she hissed looking straight in his eyes and pulled on the restraints only to hiss in pain as the cold metal cut into her wrists. "You still don't remember me, love. Then I will make you", his threatening words were followed by her blood curling scream as the leather belt landed on her back, tearing her soft skin. "Do you remember me now", he asked, his body was vibrating due to anger. "No", her answer didn't change. His anger turned him into the monster, he never thought he would be with her. And her screams of pain echoed in the walls of the mansion. Yet she refused. Refused to say what he wanted to hear.

Lilah
She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)Complete
Stolen Love (A Cartel Romance)
"What is your name?" I asked, staring into her doe-like eyes. Almost immediately her face twisted in horror. Her eyes switched back and forth frantically like an exit would suddenly appear out of thin air. The sides of her lips turned downward like it was taking everything in her not to burst into a sob. Sure, she was scared--that much was expected-- but I could see the anger. I could see she was furious with me. Interesting. I thought to myself. As much as I wanted to explore how far I could push her until she retaliated; time was of the essence right now. I was staring at an unrecognizable girl. A mistake like this will get a lot of people killed. "I asked you a fucking question, didn't I? I don't like repeating myself." I growled as I grabbed her small face in my hand, making her eye shut in pain. "Harley. Harley Anderson," she spat softly like an angered kitten. Harley. I let her name roll over my tongue for a while. Every second that passed made my vision go black with anger. I looked away from her face before releasing the hold I had on her. I felt my jaw clench in anger and my fist flex in readiness as I stared off in the distance, trying to control my anger from making me lash out. However, I couldn't control myself. She is the wrong girl. We have the wrong girl. ------------ Harley Anderson was an average girl with an almost too simple life before being taken by the biggest cartel in New Mexico right in front of her best friend, Avery.

We Dream at Midnight (Ember 2)
Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).

June, 2, 2024: #1 in Action-Romance "If you choose to leave, I won't stop you cause I know that would be a sensible decision." He moved even closer to her, encircling her in his arms, her eyes shut at the electrifying sensation that enveloped her, "But I hope you'll stay." He whispered in her ears. A lone tear escaped her eye as she heard his pain stricken words. "I am scared" She confessed, her voice trembling. "I will never let anything happen to you." He assured her, caressing her cheeks. Silence settled upon the room as their gazes remained locked and he leaned forward, placing his lips gently upon her's. An unknown warmth filled her body and instinctively her arms wrapped around his neck, drawing him closer. He reciprocated, pulling her body closer to his and deepening the kiss. He kissed her like there was no tomorrow - passionately. Only when their breaths became ragged did he finally release her, resting his head against hers. The only sound that resonated in the room was of their heavy breaths until Scarlett whispered, "I'll never leave." ___________________________________________ Markus Hayes, A man you don't want to be up against.
