Everyone at Ohio State University knows about Blake Andrews, the infamous all-star quarterback of the football team and rumored insomniac. Most refer to him as crude, egotistical, and cold. 

It isn't until he meets Elena Madison that his world is suddenly flipped upside down. She brings the dark past he has tried to keep hidden for years up to the surface, risking pulling them both under for good. 

Undeniable attraction radiates between the two clashing souls and he begins to wonder if she can save him from the darkness within him. He'd never met someone with such an irritating personality, her persistent desire to know more about him despite his exhausted efforts to push her away.

She is about to uncover what's hidden under his rough and cold exterior, whether she's ready for it or not.

After all, eyes are the window to the soul.

- 

"Thank you," he murmurs sleepily, raising his hand to bring it to my cheek. His thumb slides against my soft skin slowly, it burns hot at his touch.

"For what?" I question, my eyes feeling very swollen and heavy now.

He takes a deep breath and swallows. 

"For being my light."

Sweet as Syn by ReeceMezei
38 parts Complete Mature
She's heart-meltingly sweet. He's deliciously sinful. Greyson Decker is your typical jock; God in the bedroom, king on the field. His brooding glare and shredded body terrifies as much as it turns on, and that gets him as much attention with women as it does with NFL recruits. Synamie Blake is not your typical cheerleader. Forced to be hardened by her past, she is tough and smart; two things that don't get you far in the college social scene. When their worlds collide, Greyson becomes a protective friend who ups her social rank and pulls her into his world of parties, great friends, better teammates and something much, much dirtier. I mean, her name does rhyme with sin... Syn hated the idea of being under Greyson's daunting wing, especially right after escaping the claws of her past, but he is nothing like his bad boy reputation perceived. He rips her from her nightmares, she seeps into his soul, and they become so hooked, not even the entire span of a football field could keep their burning passion in check. But their path to becoming friends to lovers might be harsher than the fire between them. *** He looks irate, and for some reason, that makes me burst into hysterics. "Do you get enjoyment from my pain, you demon child?" That only makes me laugh harder. "You're a grumpy old man," I inform him. I'm grinning up at him, and I'm glad he has my arms pinned to my sides because I want to pull his lips into a smile, and right now he'd probably bite my fingers off if I did that. And then he says, with a dark glare and a deep scowl, the sweetest words I have ever heard. "Fine. If I have to go infertile for you to smile at me like that, then so be it." And that's when I knew, in this weird, hazy, drunken moment, that Greyson Decker was undoubtedly the best thing that has ever happened to me. *** Cover model: Chase Mattson

Fighting for Rose by whitetigerpaw
43 parts Complete Mature
-Blake- Rose stands not too far in front of the ring looking at me, her face is pale and my gut twists in ways it never has. She shouldn't be here, why the hell is she here? My hands drop to my side, the victorious feeling once flowing through me is replaced with one of dread. She saw me fighting. ------- -Rose- "Alright. Time for you to go." He says. I feel the pull on my arm as he tries to take me away but my feet feel like they are glued to the ground as I continue to look at Blake. He has a little smirk on his face as he looks over the crowd. A look so completely different than any of the ones I saw the other day. Then our eyes meet, and his smirk drops. He drops his hands that were just held high in victory and looks at me like he's seeing a ghost. The guard pulls harder on my arm and I go flying back into his chest. "Listen here, I don't want to manhandle you, so do as I fucking say. Move." He growls as he pushes me into the crowd of celebrating people. I do what he says and start walking towards the exit, but I look over my shoulder one last time before I'm too far in the crowd to see anything. Blake's hands are fisted by his side and his face is red with anger, his eyes are focused on the hands that are on me pushing me away from him. ----- I am the original owner of this book, please do not copy.

Unintended Consequences by eim1993

"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.

In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was. Meet Vaughn Cooper, his best friend. The guy is the epitome of every girl's dream. Godlike handsome. The quarterback. He's got the looks, and he's got the brain. Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school. How could a guy who worked that hard and deserves nothing more but adoration be labeled as a bad boy? Yeah, the answer is simple. The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as I stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, MY nightmare. Calm down, heart.

Losing the love of my life taught me that inactions have consequences. My new bookkeeping job teaches me that numbers don't lie, but people do. Sharing yoga with others is my refuge from the darkness pulling me to stay home. A ginormous pro football player barging into my classes isn't in my rehab plan. Worse, it's the cocky jerk who treats me like I'm too insignificant to remember. If only I could say the same. Sam Pearson is Houston's golden, champion-winning quarterback. He's arrogant, rude, and reckless. His agent, my brother, thinks I can rehabilitate his injured shoulder and spiraling ego to achieve a long-term contract. I think Sam needs a reality smack in his handsome face. I should hate his rebellious distractions, but I can't stop challenging him out of his comfort zone. After losing most of myself along with my other half, Sam's woken me up inside. He challenges me, irritatingly, which is exciting and scary. He's dangerously close to cracking open my closed-off heart, revealing the secrets holding me back. And yet, he might also be the second chance at love I thought I didn't deserve.
