Ailis was expecting a simple night out for her last night on land. She'd go to a bar, do a little flirting, and go home to get some sleep before shipping off on a two-year ship deployment around the world with the Navy. She'd never planned to meet the love of her life, but from the first moment Mia smiled at her across the room, Ailis was sunk on her. A night of passion and falling in love was all they got before she had to sail away, not returning for years. Life moved on, but Ailis never forgot the woman who stole her heart.
Six years and a career change later, Ailis finds herself face to face with Mia again, this time with a little boy with Ailis' ears and eyes. Will true love conquer all of the trials this life will throw at them? Or will it be a sinking ship?

Waiting Until Dawn {Mike Monroe x Reader}
"Back to this hellhole, huh?" "I wouldn't call it a hellhole" He mutters. "Oh, but I would." I snap harshly. He almost flinches. "(Y/n), I'm sorry. It wasn't supposed to get out of hand like that..." I cut him off. "I know. But I can't believe you would ever think of doing that. It's cruel!" He looks away in shame. "I'm sorry." He says again. "It's not me you should have apologized to." I say, hot tears threatening to spill. I didn't know who to feel about him. I was so completely in love with him, maybe I still am, but they were my best friends. I just wish everything could have been different.Complete
Method Acting || Joe Keery
Charlee is a writer for the show Stranger Things, when the production team somehow rope her into becoming an actor on the show. As Charlee struggles with her career change and being caught between her passion for writing and acting, she also has to deal with the mounting tension and chemistry with her Co-Star Joe Keery, and the deal they made to have no physical contact while filming to enhance their performance. Can they stick to the script? A sneak preview: ""Do you hate me?" Joe asks me. "No, Joe," I tell him softly, looking right into his eyes. He moves closer to me. "Do you hate me?" I ask, my lip trembling a little. Joe moves closer so we are inches from each other. That electricity between us feeling thick and dark, like it could turn into something dangerous any minute. "Not at all," Joe whispers. I can feel his breath on my face. I move my hand up to touch his cheek, and he moves away. "No touching. Remember?" He says, before opening the door and slamming it and leaving the room without a goodbye, or even a look back." (I do not own the copyright to Stranger Things and it's characters)Complete

Two girls, best friends their whole life since birth. All they know is each other. But what happens when new feelings start to arise between them both? ... "Avery.. what are we?"

Avery whispers as she moves her hips slightly on my hardened member. "Fuck you." I grunt as I feel her move against me. "So tell me, what are we?" Avery asks as she bites down on her lip, her hips moving in a rhythmic motion underneath me.
The Art of Breaking Hearts ✓
[Highest Rank; #3 in Humor 3/27/17] --- I was unable to keep myself from blushing. "I'm not his girlfriend." "Yet." Ryder and Benjamin said simultaneously. "Oh, so the conceitedness runs in the family?" I asked with a roll of my eyes. "I'm afraid so. Now, tell me more about yourself." "Well, I like playing soccer a lot. And if I were to choose between my books and human beings, then I choose books. Also, I think your brother is annoying and has too big of an ego. But wanna know something?" He nodded. I stopped the car at the traffic light and turned back to him. Leaning into his ear, I whispered loud enough for Ryder to hear, "I think I like him." --- The art of breaking hearts is an inscrutable, prepossessing, abstract art. Never ever will you go through with breaking someone's heart without having your own broken. And it would be very eccentric if one did not go through the process of having their own heart shattered into millions of pieces when trying to do the same to another. Unfortunately, I learned that the hard way. --- [extended description inside] Copyright ©2016 sadreadingchick All rights reserved.Complete
BROKEN VOWS (Lucas & Emilia Book 1)
Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. It's why I left the small town where I grew up and vowed never to return. I'm no longer the "golden boy with a bright future" they all remember. Instead, I carry the scars of a tortured past. A broken man deemed unfit, even by the Navy SEALs he'd dedicated the past decade to serve. What was supposed to be a quick trip to sell my parents' property turned into this twisted journey that forced me to confront my demons. And then there she was. My first love, and deepest regret. The woman who still owns every piece of my blackened heart. When she asked for my time, I couldn't refuse. Now I can't walk away. Not after hearing of the danger her husband, a missing FBI agent, has brought to her doorstep. After everything, I owe her my help. It's why I offer to protect her and her two little girls from the danger circling them. It's a vow I never should have made, given the trail of bodies I've left in my wake. Like the harbinger of death, I'm the last man either of us should trust. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lucas & Emilia's story begins here: Book 1 of their Broken Redemption arc. Each couple's love story in the Broken Redemption Series is told over multiple books and forms a complete arc within this collection of connected romances set in the small town of Ruby Creek.

Lucas & Emilia are the first couple, followed by James & Annelly, whose story begins with Broken Misery (Broken Redemption Series - Book 1 of their arc).Complete
