As they navigate high school hallways, old scars, and ghosts they don't speak of, they're pulled back together slowly, painfully, beautifully. But love like their's doesn't come easily. Especially when the past refuses to stay buried, and the world keeps asking more than either of them are ready to give.

With parents who can't stand the sight of him and a heart full of things he was never allowed to say, he's learning to stay quiet. Cold. Alone. Feared. Until her Thea Solara moved in next door with paint on her fingers, messy braids, a mind full of stories and color no one else could see, and sunlight in her voice.

Her mother, gone. Her father, arrested. And Thea vanished with no warning taken across the country to live with the only family left. Ery never stopped thinking of her. Never stopped keeping her in quiet memories, in things no one would understand. Now, years later, Thea is back. She's different. Quieter. There's a shadow in her eyes that wasn't there before. But the light? It still shines. And it wrecks him all over again. This is a story about the quiet kind of love; the kind that waits in the dark for the sun to rise.

Sometime later the school moved onto other drama and gossip, things started to die down and people finally left Ace alone. He moved on with his life, convincing himself he was over Eleanor's death and as quick as the whole thing started, he returned to being lonely, weird, quiet nobody Ace. Just how he liked it.

It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it. If this is how being kissed feels like, then fuck, I've wasted a lot of time. ~^~^~^~ FEATURED ON: @Romance (Romantic Suspense) HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 Goodgirl, Darkpast #2 Badboy #5 NewaduComplete

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).
