"You have no idea how badly I want to make love to you," he responds with a shake of his head. "I love you so much," he continues and my heart melts. "I love you," I whisper back. "Okay, I'm going to make love to you now, Angel. It will hurt a little, so let me know if it hurts too much," he says and leans down to kiss me. "I'll be gentle," he tells me. Keeping his eyes locked on mine he shifts his hips forward slightly and enters inside of me. My mouth widens as he enters, and I feel a slight pinch. He was right, it does hurt, but it's not terrible. "Christ! You're the sun!" he calls out. I watch his face crumble. He buries his face in my neck and then he's above me again, his hands on my cheeks again. ... For 20 year old Alison Scott, love was never something she deemed herself worthy of.

Something More by StarryNight1983
31 parts Complete Mature
A pact is made. An alliance formed. Instant besties. You don't expect to go on a reality dating show to find a best friend. For Kiera and Bobby, that's exactly what happens. Bobby's here for a summer of fun. He knows it's slim, but he really wants to win the money. Kiera's hoping for lots of steamy bits with the Villa hotties. Things aren't always as they seem. One of them isn't being honest about their feelings, putting their entire friendship in danger. Days of torture ensues as these feelings grow stronger and stronger. Is it even possible though? Could they ever move past friends and have something more? COMPLETED BOOK!!! This is a standalone book! It has no association to my other Love Island series. I just couldn't give up Bobby McKenzie yet!! I started writing this story after I finished book one of my Love Island series, My Sweets. (My Sweets, Tears of our Ruins, Searching for Myself). I've been working on this off and on these last few years when I needed breaks from my other stories. I never intended to share it, but I love how it turned out. This Bobby McKenzie is different from my last one. This story focuses more on his insecurities. It was fun to explore the friendship aspect of this, instead of fast lovers like my other one. This book follows the main concept of the now unavailable, season 2 from the Love Island app game. Operation Nope. Casa Amore. Judge Bobby. The kissing scandal. It's different though. Most of the challenges are completely different games. A sexy new character will be introduced to stir up the Villa. Plus, prom is cancelled!! I hope you enjoy this familiar story that's just different enough to add more interest.

If only it was an Illusion! by Aafrynn

"you're no one to me", his words echoed in my ears but what was it all when he kissed me; merely an illusion? It felt so real and lively. "...and just so you know, you're not allowed to leave this job until or before 6 months", he flung the contract papers in the air. I had signed the papers, the terms and conditions clearly meant that I was supposed to work for his company and had no right to leave it until his consent. "Leave my cabin for now", he ordered as he turned behind. ********** Amanda Waters is your typical College student who happens to face a lot of financial difficulties and as a result, is made to earn a living. She's blunt, She's sensitive but she is also accompanied by two of her best friends in this story: Gina Sullivan and Francis Rutherfold. The enterprise which she works in is different, very different. In fact, the 'CEO' is not just another Happy go lucky male lead of the company. Aaron Reynolds- Rude, Arrogant, Harsh, and Stubborn. He's what they call an eccedentesiast. They say that a person who defines negative adjectives has a lot more inside them, the darkness in that person may overrule all the Positiveness. Well, with Aaron, it's hard to say. But...What if Amanda already had a face-off with 'The CEO' before working in his firm? What if she had already drawn a thick line of hate? What if egos of the same level collide? What then? True Love? More like an illusion! An illusion that poses a life threat. An illusion with the ability to make you believe in non-existent things such as; fairies, demons, fate, and even destiny! Ironic is it not? What we as humans happen to rely on.
