Lilith Ashford was a name you'd easily hear in the hospital hallways but you wouldn't spot her easily until you were keen enough.
She was usually in the spotlight yet not clearly seen. No one concentrated enough on her until a new medic is hired and he begins showing up everywhere she is.
They say that he's cold and aloof, always minding his business and rarely interacting with the other staff but why does he keep trying to help everytime Lilith finds herself in a fix?

"My eyes," for a moment, my hands stopped shaking and my attention instantly shifted to him.
"Look into them when you get too overwhelmed," He uttered softly as he held the tiny palm of my hand against his.
I followed the pattern of his breathing, firmly grasping onto his hand and the edge of his white coat as the lift went up to the fortieth floor.
Not once did my eyes deter from his.

You're Like Heaven to Touch
"You don't really like to open up, do you?" The words startle me, seemingly jagged and impure in contrast to the light and beautiful atmosphere we were in. "I didn't say that." Asher snorted, "You didn't have to." I was quiet for a moment, looking out to the beach and resting my cheek on my knee. "It- It's not that I don't like to," I struggled to find the words good enough to explain. "I just think, maybe, I don't know how to anymore." Asher stares at me for a moment, eyes filled with an emotion that I can't put my finger on. I turn to face him properly, almost gasping when he appears much closer than I remembered. Before I can turn the moment into a joke, he speaks. "Well, if you ever want to learn again, I'll always be right here, Willa. I'm always right here." * Willa Montgomery didn't expect to be uprooted for her last summer before college, but two weeks in, here she is: Santa Monica, California. Willa hasn't had the best life as of recent, and with the impending damage of her parents messy divorce getting harder and harder to avoid, her mom decides the best place for her to be is anywhere but home. Enter Sylvia Edwards, Willa's mother's best friend since middle school, and Willa's godmother. Sylvia is more than glad to host Willa for the entire summer, opening up her beautiful home to her immediately. And with that beautiful home comes the beautiful Asher Edwards, and a whole bunch of memories Willa wasn't even aware she had. Living in a house with Asher, the sweetest yet most persistent guy to exist is both heartwarming and dangerous all at once, because soon enough, the barriers Willa spent years building around her fragile heart are coming down- and fast. Willa had never realized how frozen she was until Asher started to melt her ice. With eyes like oceans, a smile like honey and a touch like heaven. cover by @stylesoftimothee

Stung By You
I just close my eyes. Feeling him. Smelling him. Just existing close to him. My fingers clutch at his shirt, like it's the only thing keeping me from doing something reckless. Something completely, irrevocably stupid. Like kissing my son's best friend. And it feels so wrong. Oh God. So damn wrong. But then- His thumb shifts against my skin. A slow, lazy stroke. And suddenly, it feels so right. SO DAMN RIGHT. I breathe in too sharply. Mistake. He notices. Of course, he notices. His grip on my hips tightens. "You always this tense?" I force out a breath. "You always this annoying?" Leo laughs under his breath. "Only when I'm right." I tilt my head, and his eyes are already waiting for me-dark, unreadable, impossibly close. His fingers brush just above my waist. Barely there, but enough. Enough to make me hyper-aware of how easy it'd be to- "You wear this every night, don't you?" It takes me half a second to register what he means. The hoodie. His hoodie. *** 💔 She never expected to fall for him. 🔥 He never stopped waiting for her. 🏡 But some love stories don't follow the rules. Jenny Thompson moved to start fresh.

Every Shot of You
At Espresso Yourself, the cozy café tucked into the ground floor of Edenview Hospital, CEO and head barista Quinn Lockhart makes it her mission to brighten every customer's morning, with extra foam, warm hazel eyes, and an easy smile that rarely falters. Except with Dr. Ava Moreno. The hospital's youngest top trauma surgeon, Ava is a picture of precision and control, always early, always distant, and never without her large Americano, extra shot, no sugar. She never lingers. Never chats. Never smiles. But every morning, without fail, she comes. And every morning, Quinn waits for her. What Quinn doesn't know is that this isn't their first time orbiting each other. Years ago, in the high-pressure haze of med school, Quinn and Ava shared something fragile, unspoken, and burning at both ends, a secret situationship that was as real as it was undefined. Late-night study sessions turned into tangled sheets and unsaid promises. But just as quickly as it flared, it vanished, forgotten entirely by Quinn after a personal crisis and a sudden career pivot that pulled her out of medicine altogether. But Ava? Ava remembers everything. Now, years later, Ava watches Quinn behind the café counter, smiling like none of it ever happened. Like she's never seen her cry. Never kissed her in the dark. Never whispered her name like it meant something. To Quinn, Ava is a mystery she's just now beginning to unravel. To Ava, Quinn is a heartbreak she never got to mourn. As the slow-burn tension between them reignites, Ava must decide whether to keep pretending or finally confront the woman who once loved her, and forgot. Because some brews are meant to be bitter. And some love stories don't start at the beginning... they start again.Complete

"You believe you've seen the dark? Sweetheart, you are absolutely adorable." I said my voice dark and humorous. "Darkness is so much more complex. So much more... tempting." I said my tongue darting out, licking my lips. "It creeps up on you... and before you know it..." I paused and slowly walked around him massaging his shoulders. "It has taken a hold off you," I said and grabbed him by the throat from behind, tilting his head back, and made him look at me. He gasped as his eyes found mine. "What happened to You?" He croaked. A smirk crept onto my face. "Nothing sweetie. I'm simply showing my true colors." I chuckled humourlessly. .....

Evolved
"Do you know what you're doing to me?" He leaned his head forward and buried it in her neck, inhaling deeply before peppering kisses along her sternum. She was on fire now.

No one would think to look for her in an all-male military school. She hides among werewolves and is one of the very few nonshifters at the school. She catches the new instructor's curiosity, and her identity is threatened. He claims to be her mate, but she knows that her kind don't have a mate and desperately tries to avoid him. If he stumbles upon her true identity, she is screwed. "What are you doing?!" growls his highness, ripping the knife from my hands. It tingles as his fingers close around my wrist. Fresh blood flows from the wound, turning his hands red. Deep throaty sounds, rumbling in his chest. "You hurt yourself," he says softly, pain evident in his voice. I look up and frown. "It's just a small cut," I reply, annoyed. None of the other cadets get this kind of attention. Besides, we have to learn this to pass the exam. "Shhh, it's going to be okay," he says, pressing me close. My whole side explodes with sparks. It tickles me. "You have to stop hurt yourself. Why are you even here? How am I going to protect you here?" he asks angrily. "I don't need your protection!" I shout, pushing him away. I get an angry growl back. Quickly I grab another knife and throws it over my shoulder, hitting bulls' eye. He glares at me, and the room has gone completely silent. That's when I discover that I may have gone too far with the insanely possessive highness, even though I'm grateful for the extra lessons he gives me. Then suddenly everyone hurries out of the training area. Leaving me alone with the growling, red eyed alpha.

One Kiss Less
Mia Chrismen doesn't believe in fate, fairy tales, or the so-called mate bond that ties werewolves to their soulmates.

Alpha by birth, cursed by destiny, and haunted by the throne he must claim. To do it, he needs the heir of the moon-blessed bloodline. What he didn't expect? Her. The woman who doesn't feel their bond. The woman who challenges him, hates him, tempts him - and still refuses to be his . A slow-burn, soul-bonded, enemies-to-lovers saga where loyalty cuts deeper than knives, love is war, and fate isn't a blessing - it's a weapon. --- "Now talk" he murmured, voice rough, every syllable carrying a warning "Who was he ?" She gave him that infuriating little smirk , " you sure you want the details? You might get jealous." His jaw flexed , " I have been patient the whole night love " he said , low and lethal , " for your own good.... don't test me now " He shifted , instantly bringing her on his lap . His jacket - the only thing shielding her from his gaze , shifted with the movement, falling off the shoulder. She gasped. " Listen carefully MATE - " his voice dropped further, a sinful whisper in her ear " - try running from me once more and I will make sure you can't even walk for weeks." The words came off less like a threat and more like a promise. She scoffed even though her pulse was wild , " Empty threats Arker ?" He let out a slow laugh, " You love challenging me don't you ? " . . "C-Cain " she breathed but he only kissed her harder . As she let out a sharp sound again , he smiled , " But you should know I never back down from a challenge sweetheart ."

H E A L - the death cure
Book Three-Heal - "Hold on. We need to talk about this whole 'overprotective boyfriend' thing. It's getting a little old." He shrugged and shoved his hands in his pockets looking down to his feet. "You already know how I feel about you doing this and I know there's no convincing you so there's not really anything to talk about." He said not lifting his head. "Yeah but you can't be mad at me for this. You have to trust that I'll be careful and I know that's hard, but I'll be okay. You've got my back right?" She nudged his shoulder and then his forehead to make him look at her. "Yeah. I've got your back." - ThomasxOC Started-9/29/22 Finished-11/18/22 *i do not own 'The Death Cure', I only own my OC's and their stories*Complete
