"Hi! My name is Adeline. What's your name?"

"Adeline." I almost sigh. He has such a nice voice and he says it so softly I almost forget how rude his voice can be. 

"And you are...?" I motion to him.

Still nothing. Maybe he's partially mute or something?  

"Conversations need at least two people to put in some effort." I smile at him.

I sigh. "I really would appreciate it if you could be a little nicer to me if I haven't done anything wrong." I step in front of him so he stops.

"My name is Easton." He walks around me and I let him. 

I'll count that as a small victory.

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights. He has countless tattoos covering his body. And he doesn't care about anything or anyone else. Layla Stevens is your average seventeen year-old girl, just trying to get through high school, with the friends she loves and doing the things she loves. When these two cross paths accidentally in an unusual way, they leave and never expect to speak to each other again. But fate has other plans. Layla finds her way into Reece's life and Reece doesn't know what to do about it. This ray of Sunshine suddenly meant something to him. She understood him when it seemed like no one else did. And he protected her from everyone who tried to hurt His Sunshine. Get ready for a story filled with bad pick-up lines, twin telepathy and a lot of fighting. Like, a LOT. Thanks for that one, Reece.

Gang life (Book 1)

80 parts Complete Mature

Completed ✅ *BOOK 1 in the Gang Life series. * "You are mine! Do you understand?" He says. His soft lips are right up against my ear, his hands either side of my head and my back is up against the cold wall behind me. I roll my eyes at him, looking away. He slams his hand into the wall, making me jump and the white paint crack and chip. "Did you just roll your eyes at me?" He asks, voice dangerously low. "Don't do that... unless you want to see how I handle it" He groans, his dangerous dark brown eyes bore into mine. *** When young African-American girl Adeline Carter is faced with possibly one of the most interesting business deals of her life, how will she handle it? Will she rise above the challenge? Or will she crumble to his charms first?
