Profile: Ash Cartwright 
(Self evaluation.)
College student with a steady job as barista at the Busy Bean. Isolated but that's due to her lack of want to create any lasting relationships. 

Does this come from her broken past? 

Yes it does and she's fully aware of this. 

Profile: Zach, last name still unknown.
(Evaluation by Ash.)
A seemingly average student, who fits in with everyone but doesn't connect with anyone. Able to appear without making a stir and leave the same way. Average in looks and height. 

There is nothing about him that should merit Ash's attention. 

Questions for consideration: 
If he is so average, why does Ash find him interesting?

Why can't she make sense of him? 

Most importantly, why did she ever decide to get involved?

Losing someone is never easy. Especially if it's your best friend. Being in love with that someone though, makes it even more complicated. * Harry and Elizabeth grew up together. They were best friends, each other's happy place. But 7 years is a long time, a lot has changed... Harry is now living his dream, basking in the glory of his success. No matter how big he gets though, he could never forget where he came from. He could never forget those big blue eyes and the hearty laugh that he was once so fond of. And Elizabeth... well, she grew up. She's not the naive little girl she was all those years ago anymore, she sees the world differently now. She does her best every day, trying to get into line and have a normal life like most of us. Running away from your past and building up walls can only work for so long though, and a certain curly headed rockstar might just be able to crumble them all down in an instant. When their paths cross again, the darkness just becomes a tad bit brighter. They eventually fall back to same old habits, the memories clearer than ever and suddenly it all just makes perfect sense again. *** "Love is friendship that has caught fire." //MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT//

His lips are dominating my own, as his hands travel down my back, and he tugs on my shirt, to release it from my skirt. His hands then caresses my bare skin for a few minutes, before he sits up. He brings me with him, and I'm now straddling his lap. His eyes are filled with lust, and I'm so damn scared, for completely different reasons than earlier tonight. His skillful fingers finds the buttons of my shirt, and he opens them slowly, while I lean back down towards him, to make our lips connect again. I might come to my senses if he doesn't keep kissing me. He tugs the shirt off of me, and his hands run across my bare stomach. He stops, suddenly, and I feel a sharp sting under my left boob. "What happened? Are you..." He trails off, as he looks down at my body, and I stiffen. Holy shit, I forgot all about that. "Ives... What is this?" he asks, and he pulls his hands away from me. 🌹 Ives has just moved away from her overprotective brother and their alcoholic dad to go to college. She is trying her best to put her past behind her, but it keeps coming back to haunt her. In this book we get to know Ives and her new friends as she struggles with her newfound freedom.

Apathetic |[D.S]| 1 by dozydaniel

"Shut the hell, your mouth!" Daniel's hands squeeze my waist as he pushes me against the wall, growing closer to me. The quietness striking me when the only thing I can see in the dark is my horrified reflection in his glowing blue eyes. I can hear my breathing as I place my shaking arms beside me not knowing what to do with them. I can hear my heartbeat going at such a fast rate, I wouldn't even be able to count the beats. My chest rising and falling against Daniel's chest. "Dan- "Don't fucking speak," he growls in my ear, "just don't." ~~~~~~~~~ College is an opportunity for a new fresh start and that's exactly how Lou sees it. For a start making friends isn't so bad with her popular roommate Kayla.

Deeper Healing by island_rose

"As I passionately kiss your lips and breathe all of you in, release your pain to me; let me inhale it and let my soothing touch heal your broken soul. -------- What starts as soft glares and innocent forehead kisses turns into something more carnal, deeper and wickedly tempting to explore. She isn't looking for true love, a concept she has given up on searching for. What her soul burns for is a man's touch to set her body ablaze and consume her completely in a whirlwind of intense pleasure and ecstasy. He desires a vibrant woman to do all the wickedly sinful things burning in his mind to, one who can unleash the dominant beast in him and torture sensually with all the pleasure he has to offer. She seems to be all he's ever needed and maybe someone whose heart he can heal and stitch back in place piece by piece until it can beat hard in her chest again and say his name. But nothing ever comes on a silver platter, especially with loads of drama and misfortunes tailing each one of them from sources closer than they could ever imagine. ⚠︎Warning: This story contains explicit sexual content, mentions of sexual assault, mild language, drama and is a slowburn

"There's only so many times I can put my heart back together" "Why are you so sure I'll break it again?" 🖤🤍🖤 Andrew had a perfect life. Or so others would think. Living under his father's control was a nightmare. Having his dreams ignored and being unable to make his own decisions suffocated him. Everyone expected him to be the perfect son and one day follow his father's steps. It was too much pressure. So he ran away. He was an outcast, and they made it clear he would always be, except for her. She was all the stars in the night sky and she wanted him. She was stunning; she was sweet, and she was easy to love. Determined to change everyone's mind about him, he brought down all their shields. Except for one. 🖤🤍🖤 Start: 07/01/2022 End: 03/07/2023 Achievements: 🥉3rd place Romance winner in The Savant May Awards 🥉3rd place Young Adult winner in The Heart Awards 🏅Featured in The Athena Project
