Laughter swirled like perfume in the air, mingling with the scent of lilacs and expensive champagne. The glow of string lights danced across clinking glasses and polished smiles. But Jade stood still, her spine straight, fingers numb beneath silk and diamonds.
She saw him-Zion-before he saw her.
The ice started then. A slow, creeping cold beneath her ribs. Her chest hollowed as she watched him laugh at something-her sister Jane just steps behind him.
Her pulse thundered against her eardrums.
She moved forward, heels silent on the stone.
"Zion," she called, voice light, practiced, smooth as glass. "I didn't know you were here already."
He turned. A flicker of surprise, then the familiar mask.
"You were busy," he said. "I didn't want to interrupt."
He leaned in to kiss her cheek.
She tilted just enough to miss it.
The air between them turned sharp. Bitter.
"You should've still," she replied, eyes never leaving his.
His jaw twitched.
"You're being difficult," he muttered, only for her.
She laughed-empty, brittle. Behind him, Jane laughed at something else.
Jade leaned in, whispering silk-wrapped venom. "I guess I am."
His fingers wrapped around her wrist. Too tight. The world narrowed.
"Zion," she warned, smiling through her teeth. "Let go."

Moonlight Kisses
"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022Lengkap
His Favorite Investment
She felt the heat of his body at her back before she saw his hand. His fingers grazed her skin, just barely, as he found the zipper and slowly, so slowly, pulled it up. It wasn't just a zip. It was a claim. A warning. "I should break his nose for looking at you the way he did," he whispered at her ear. "But that wouldn't be enough." Her breath caught. He hadn't touched her, not really. But it felt like too much. Like he'd branded her. "And you," he went on, voice low, lips grazing the curve of her neck without touching, "walking around this place in nothing but that swimsuit... you knew what you were doing." She swallowed hard. "Maybe I did." His hands lingered at her waist, holding her in place. Possessive. Undeniable. "You like making me jealous," he said, voice husky. "But just remember, Chloe... jealousy makes me dangerous." ***Content Warning*** This story contains mature themes including sexual content, emotional manipulation, morally complex relationships, cheating, and adult language.

Tomorrow's Blues
~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all." If you like a good old slowburn, enemies (ish) to lovers, bonding over tragic backstories type beat then this story is for you, I promise :) #1 in #bestfriendsbrother (didn't note the exact date - some time in January 2021) #1 in #dealing with death (11/04/21) amazing cover by @sixty6ix !!Lengkap
Love that Burns!
"I know," Talia said, voice low. "But I don't want our first time to be a blur. I want it to ruin you." Mira blinked, stunned. "I want you clear-headed. Sober. I want you to remember how I touch you. How I taste you. I want you trembling under me, not swaying because of wine." ✧*✧*✧*✧* Talia Laurent is a 29-year-old gallery owner and elusive artist, wrapped in mystery and manicured precision. She commands every room with quiet authority, her intensity strong but always controlled. She rarely smiles, but when she does, it ruins people. She's built walls no one has dared to scale-until Mira. Mira Evans is 21, an art student who doesn't paint, but lives and breathes in creative spaces. She's free-spirited, emotionally brave, and effortlessly magnetic-a contrast to Talia's polished restraint. Mira loves fiercely, questions everything, and never plays safe. She's intrigued by the cold, unreachable woman behind the gallery walls-and unaware that her presence is awakening something possessive and raw in Talia. Where Mira brings color and chaos, she also exposes what's been buried beneath Talia's years of detachment. !

When Jade is confronted with someone from her past, she is torn between protecting her loved ones, and leaving the one she loves. Having no other choice, Jade must live through her worst nightmare in order to protect her loved ones, and hopefully make it out alive to be with the one she loves. ________________________________ SNEAK PEEK: "Wh-why are you doing this? What do you want ?" I questioned, staring deeply into his brown orbs, reminiscing how I used to get lost in them so easily. "Oh stop this act Jade, you're smarter than that. You know exactly what I want." He said, stalking closer, his voice smooth as silk, yet has a bit of a rough tone to it , as he placed his hand on on my cheek, and his thumb softly traced my bottom lip, causing a jolt of excitement to travel throughout my body, which I instantly scolded myself for. I shouldn't be affected by him, not anymore. "Well you can't have me!" I slapped his hand away, then pushed him causing him to stumble backwards. I then quickly grabbed my purse, and pulled out my taser. I pointed it towards him as I said "get out! GET OUT!" He seemed surprised for a second but then his face relaxed, as a smirk took place on his lips, he took a few steps towards the door then turned and said "Don't worry Jade, I will have you. Whether you want to or not, I will do whatever it takes to it happen. Mark my words Jade Christina Reaves, you will be mine, and that is a promise."Lengkap
