auden blake dark heartthrob mentalhealth prepschool slowburn

Auden Fairchild can be described in one words: mystery. With her auburn hair and symmetrical face, she has the potential to be the most popular girl at Stratford High. So no one knows why she chooses to eat in the corner of the cafeteria alone or why she visibly flinches whenever someone comes within a few feet of her. No one knows why she chooses to live amongst the shadows when she could be the brightest burning star.

Blake Larson is the epitome of a hockey heartthrob. He's new to Stratford, all the way from Massachusetts and it seems that the most of his problems is the lousy hockey program at Stratford and the fact that he's single. Lucky for him, his blond hair and green eyes solve the latter. Every girl is attracted to him like moths to a flame. But though his pickings of girls are far from slim, he's drawn to the quiet girl who can't seem to get far enough from him. As he learns more and more about her, every part of him seems to tell him to get away from her, but his infatuation with her grows into something he can't escape.All Rights Reserved

You Are the Shell to My Tortoise | ✓ by LotteStarburst

Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.

WARNING: WHOLESOME, BUT SMUTTY AS ALL HELL (Read "The Camgirl" before this!) Blake and Liam are finally together. Blake is pretty sure she might even love Liam. When Blake gets some news that dredges up her past though, she worries. Liam is fine with her being a camgirl, but will he feel the same when he learns what kind of person she really is and how screwed up her family is? Blake has carefully kept that topic out of conversation, but Liam's been asking questions, and she knows it's only a matter of time until she'll have to tell him the truth. In Liam's mind, Blake is the best thing that's ever happened to him. But he felt that way with Marie at first, and that didn't end well. As wonderful as Blake make's him feel, Liam wants to take the rational approach and make sure there aren't any red flags that would pop up down the line that would make things even harder and messier than if he learned of them now. As Liam tries to get Blake to open up, however, she pushes him to be a big rougher with her, to take initiative more. While Liam is all for that, he struggles with it, and even thinks about asking for help... Marie is alone. Things between her and Blake are strained, and she never realized how much Liam had become a fixture in her life. She misses him, but knows he isn't going to take her back, so she spirals. When out at a club one night, she meets two girls. Both are gorgeous. One intrigues her and leaves her wanting. The other takes her home and gives her the best sex of her life, opening her up to an entirely new side of herself. As things heat up with both, Marie finds herself being pushed to choose between the two, but she doesn't know if she CAN choose, or stick to a choice once she makes it. Note: Chapters 1-12 are solely focused on Marie, catching her up to where we left off with Blake and Liam. Don't forget to check out my Patreon! (https://www.patreon.com/taylorstorms)
