"Were you ever going to tell me you can play this well?" she asked Graydon, not bothering to hide her irritation. 
He shrugged and stood, retrieving his drink. 
"What? And have to fight over the piano as well? No thanks." he said, mockingly, though Eden was pretty sure she could swap the words 'the piano' with 'my grandfather's love' and get the true meaning of his words. 
"You're really good" she insisted, less abrasively "I'm serious, Gray.  I actually... enjoyed that." 
He cocked an eyebrow and laughed, mirthlessly and looked as though he were going to say something, but then changed his mind. 
"He used to play that with his mother." George offered, then to Gray he added "I haven't heard you play in ages, Gray.  Eden is right, you are really good.  You two should play together more." 
Gray downed the rest of his drink and eyed Eden's for a beat. 
"You're right, we should." he said, approaching the sideboard, and his unreadable expression gave her the impression his words might have had a second meaning, which caused heat to flood her cheeks "How about that drink, Nod?" he added, visibly enjoying her annoyance at his use of the old moniker. 
She still remembered the first time he had called her that. She had been forced to look up the damn word and she had not been impressed at the realization he had taken his pretentiousness to a new level by finding the word for the antithesis to the Garden of Eden. 
"Eat shit and die" she mouthed, but when he brought her a drink, she took it and sipped it thankfully. 
"Can't wait for the compelling dinner conversation," he mocked. 
"Likewise." she retorted and lifted her glass to him.All Rights Reserved

C O M P L E T E D "Date me," he spins the whiskey around in the glass and fixes me with a smirk. I roll my eyes the moment the words roll off his tongue. "Are you really that desperate?" I scoff in response, fighting back the ever prominent blush. His smirk widens as my face flushes red and he leans over the countertop towards me. I step back. "Name your price," he replies, his words cool and smooth like ice cream. Only I would reference food at a moment like this. Anger rolls around in the pit of my stomach; I may not have money but I have morals. "You can't buy people, Grant," The words fall out of my mouth and he recoils as if slapped. I'm glad. Stupid rich boy and his player ways. "Bet I can," I resist the urge to slap the smug look of his face and scoff again. "Right," I drag out the word, rolling my eyes. I step away from the counter and turn my back on him, desperate to leave. But he speaks again. "Date me. Two months. If you fall for me for my money, I win. If I fall for you for who you really are, you win." I consider this for a moment. I have nothing to loose and really not much to gain. But I'm so desperate to put the asshole in his place that I can't resist. I'm a sucker for a bet. "Deal."

Trying to be happy and making others happy while you are experiencing hardship was so hard but she'd rather die trying than not.

They are opposites in every way but Greyson will do anything to leap that gap between them and make Sunshine his. Forever. -excerpt- I was sitting quietly in the middle of Central Park when suddenly a flower appeared on my vision. I looked up and saw a redhead smiling widely at me. My hoodie obscure half of my face so I doesn't know if this strange woman saw my flat expression. "I am sorry. I've been staring at you for a while which I know was totally creepy but I swear I am not. I notice that you look lonely and sad so I picked this flower and hopes that your day will become a little bit lighter." She pushed the flower a little so I was forced to take it. "Huh you're still not happy. Wait please." The redhead run towards a bush that has a sign that clearly said "Don't pick any flowers. Fine $50." After she picked a handful. She runs back to me. "Here." she offered the newly stealed flowers to me. "oh I also have a chocolate bar. do you want one?" The only thing that's running on my mind was who's this strange woman and can I take her home? Another amazing cover from @Regina_Anais!

Where We Belong by jaiwantstocry

*********************** "You're the city kid who's parents kicked the buck- fuck. I mean shit. I mean hi." He stammers. The entire family stares at Jack in pure horror. I burst into laugher, still to their horror. "Good one." I chuckle. Jack raises his sharp eyebrows. "You're fucked up, City Boy." He says. "Kieran." I say. "Bless you." He responds quickly. "No that's my name. Kieran." I elaborate. "Like the coffee maker?" He asks. "What? No, not Kierig, Kieran." I repeat. "Key ring." Jack says. I sigh. "I'm bein' serious as all outdoors, I can't say it." Jack says. "Maybe because you talk like a weed whacker." I say. Jack looks taken back by my comment. "You're funny. I like you...Kerin?" Jack says. "Keep trying." I say. "Jack, why don't you help Kieran settle into his room?" Roger suggests putting so much emphasis on my name, I almost forget how to say it. "You mean my room?

When You Came by littleponymagic

A little sneak peak of the story: He then reach my sweet spot and bit it harshly but the pleasure was overpowering the pain. My hands now moved to his hair and to his back, touching him. His hands were at the hem of my shirt and he slowly slid into them, he was caressing my stomach while attacking my sweet spot. He slowly pulled back and left me whimpering. He looked at me with eyes full of lust, I'm sure mine were the same. "Noah..." I begged. "Baby, I want to make you feel good." He said in a low husking voice. God that just made my lady bits do a little dance. I was stunned and just looked at him and slightly nodded. ❤ Aurelia dreaded going on the family trip to South Korea with her family for Christmas. The main reason being her pathetic excuse of a father wouldn't be present during the trip and would much rather be chilling with his mistresses than spending time with his actual family. She went to The Village to have fun but there's where she met those alluring green eyes. From afar, he looked so mysterious but once he opened his mouth and turned out to be an arrogant asshole, Aurelia had no choice but to dismiss him. But what happens when they meet again in Seoul? Is it merely just a coincidence or fate?

His Favourite War by Blossomquill33

My palm cracked against his cheek before I even realised I'd raised it. He froze, then smiled-slow, cruel, like he saw something ugly inside me I tried so hard to hide. And then his hand shot up, fingers sliding into my hair.... enough to make me meet his eyes. Enough to remind me how easily he could close the distance between anger and something darker. "You think this makes you brave?" "No," I said. "It makes me done being scared." "Do that again," his breath touch my cheek, "and I'll make sure you never forget how I'll ruin you." I laughed breathlessly. "You already did. You've been ruining me since the day I stepped into this place." He smirked. "If that's what you call ruined, Sunshine, you haven't seen anything yet." "Obsessed. Psychotic. You can't stand not being in control, can you?" He leaned in, voice cutting. "Control? No. I just hate losing. And I hate you more than anyone I've ever met." "Leave me alone... demon," I managed, "stay out of my life." hating the tremor in my tone. He stared at me. "Demons never let go of their prey." his thumb brushes on my lower lip. "Until you do what I say." He stepped back and took off his jacket and held the jacket out between us. "You want me to leave you alone?" He said slowly like a challenge disguised as mercy. I crossed my arms. "What are you doing?" "Making it official." "Official?" He stepped closer, so close I could feel the faint heat still clinging to the leather. "You'll wear this," his grey eyes locked on mine. "You'll wear my jacket. Every time you feel it, every time someone looks at you, you'll remember who made you take it. You'll remember me and I'll stay away." For a heartbeat, I stared at him, hated him for how much I understood his madness. How he twists me, questioning my own sanity, using every crack in me as a weapon. Would Elara choose peace over him? Tale of vengeance, obsession and defiance. Dark academia aesthetic. Morally heroes, slow-burning romance. Enemies-to-lovers.

Once Upon A Bus Ride by iamtheeamani

Morgan Hall is your average teenager. That is if you consider having a billionaire CEO of a world renowned company as a dad and a fashion designer of one of the most famous lines in the world as a mother average. Let's not leave out her singer/actress of a sister who's taking the world by storm. Morgan was no doubt born with a giant silver spoon in her mouth, but her life isn't always as perfect as it seems. Aaron Smith, quiet and reserved, admired my many for his good looks. He doesn't seem to associate himself with many people. Which is why it's so strange when he finds himself becoming friends with the rich, little, daddy's girl...at least that's what he thinks of her. Fate and chance are at work when they cross paths one afternoon on a bus. Throw in crazy lives and secret identities, and you get one hell of a ride on the road to self discovery. What Morgan doesn't know is that one stubborn move could land her a new friend, and possibly even more. ~~~~~ "It's amazing...magical even, how hearing one song can take you back to a single moment or a series of them, just so you can live it all over again," he said. "I think that's the best part about music. It's like time travel you know? Going back to the past, or sometimes even visualizing the future...what we could be." "What about the sad moments?" I asked softly. "Nobody wants to re-live those." "Maybe not, but that's the entirety of it," he answered, raising his hand to brush away the hair from my face before tucking it behind my ear. "There's always good in the bad, and bad in the good. Balance." His fingers trailed down my arm, sending shock waves through me. "Can I tell you something?" I asked softly. The corner of his lips curved upwards in a small smile. "You can tell me anything."

Soulless Seduction: Control by RhydianAdhaya

"Your parents don't know, do they?" he asked, walking around me like a cheetah cornering its prey. "What would they do if they knew their little princess was gallivanting around with two guys?" My mouth dropped open in shock, the words sticking to my tongue like molasses. Adonis's smirk grew wider, his eyes gleaming with mischief. He knew. But he didn't know everything. If anyone saw us outside, one could assume Roman was my boyfriend and Levi was a close friend. His threat was solid, but how could I give in so easily. "What are you talking about?" I blurted out, my voice shaking slightly. But the lie was a poorly stitched patch on a tattered dress. Adonis stepped closer, his breath hot on my neck as he leaned in. "Come back to me and your little secret remains as such." ➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿ Alina Collier never thought she would ever see the kinky side of her life ignited. She had been cautious of men since her last bad breakup, giving her almost five years of blissful solitude. But her new sexy neighbor had other plans, lighting a fire in her that she had long ago put out. Levi Grey never anticipated moving to a new city and sleeping with his neighbor hours before being invited to meet her family. Behind closed doors and out in the open, he had always been the dominant type. No woman said no to him, and Alina was no exception. Roman Porter, a man of few words and killer looks, has his eyes on both of them. Something about them intrigues him, drawing him closer to the past he so desperately wanted to leave behind. But even when things start going his way, the world seems to be against the future he wants to build. ©️ 2024 RhydianAdhaya

Contract Marriage: I've always loved you ✅ by mehaklovely

He fell in love with the girl he had a one-night stand with. When her true nature revealed, he hated himself for loving her and decided never to see her again. However, his fate took an unexpected turn and entangled him in a contract marriage with her, turning the girl he despised into his temporary wife. Will their love-hate relationship lead to a deeper connection, or will it keep them forever bound by the terms of their contract? *** As I spank her, Grace questions in a surprised tone, "What was that?" "That was for leaving your husband alone in the pool," I respond in a teasing tone, seizing her waist and pulling her towards me, stealing her breath. "But, my dear husband, you're pissing me off. Just move away." She tries to break free from my grasp. "Stop moving, Mrs Grey!" "No, I won't listen to you, Mr Grey. You told me you don't want me, so why are you here again?" "I didn't say that I don't want you," I whisper, closing the distance between us, my lips nearing my angry wife's. "It means the same!" She rolls her eyes. "I want you so damn much, okay? And I'm ready to regret it again and again for doing this. Today, I'll show you how much I desire you, my wife." I confess, my fingers playing with her wet hair, and my hand still firmly gripping her waist. "So tell me. Who is stopping you, husband?"

BETWEEN THE LINES - BOOK 2 by PriscillaIntern

"Well," she said sweetly, fake as hell. "Jude's a great guy. You know, polite and handsome. Such a gentleman." "That so?" I muttered, voice dark. "Too bad I don't give a fuck what kind of gentleman he is." I leaned in, lips ghosting hers. Close, but not touching. "But we both know he can't get on his knees and eat your pussy like I do. Can't fuck you the way I do. Can't make you beg. Can't make you scream. Can't break you the way you like it." I dragged my fingers up her thigh, slow, stopping just short of her slick center. "In case you've forgotten..." I didn't finish the sentence. I wanted her to feel it. I wanted her to fucking remember. She sucked in a breath, tried to play it off with a smirk. "You're so full of yourself. If you were that good, I wouldn't have wandering eyes." I grabbed her chin firm, but not rough. "You don't have wandering eyes," I said, low and dangerous. "You're just a greedy little slut who gets cranky when I'm not around to fuck the attitude out of you." ~~~~~ She made the rules to protect her heart. He is about to break every one. After a single, reckless night that defied all her boundaries, Shaina Valentine is running. Oscar was supposed to be a forgettable fling, but the memory of his care is anything but.

And absolutely, no falling in love. It was meant to be a safe way to explore their connection. But how can you stick to "just friends" when every glance feels like a promise? Now, in a battle between a love that could heal her and a fear that has defined her, Shaina is about to discover that the most dangerous rule to break is her own. INTENDED FOR MATURE AUDIENCES (18+).

Step Brother 2: Jealousy (Completed) by LveeSarahK

Mature themes, and strong language! 18+ only. It's been 10 years, since Kate chose Logan. 10 years since she broke Rome's heart. As I make my way back, I accidently bump into a man. "Oh gosh, I'm sorry." I say apologetically. "It's fine. Don't worry." His voice. I know that voice. "Rome?" I say in disbelief. The man pulls down the hood on his jacket, revealing his face. It is Rome. He looks older, he still looks good, but I can see, he's not in a good place in himself. He's smiling, but behind that smile, his eyes are full of sadness, and anger. "Hey Kate." He whispers sheepishly. My mouth opens to reply, but no words come out. I'm in shock. It's been a little over 9 years. He's the same, but he's not. "H_how have you been?" I say stuttering a little. "I've been good. How are you?" Our eyes meet for a split second, there's something there, I don't know what it is, but his eyes are trying to say something. "I've been.. Good." I shrug. I'm not lying, but I suppose right now, things could be better. What else could I say? Oh, me and your old best friend, you know that one that betrayed you? Yeah well him, we kinda had a fight, because we were about to have sex, and he didn't want to use a condom, he wants more kids, I don't. So I've been searching for him. I can't find him though. Yeah. No. I won't say that. "Where's Logan?" He says looking around. Ugh, what am I supposed to say? "Oh, he.. He will be back soon. He went for a walk." Such a bad liar. "Want some company, while you stroll around?" He says so innocently. I know I shouldn't, but I can trust myself, and Logan should know he can trust me too. So I just nod, and we begin to walk. Little does Kate know, meeting Rome after 10 years, will begin a rollercoaster ride. One that brings the good, the bad, the ugly, and a wolf in sheep's clothing.
