In the bustling city of Cebu, amidst the vibrant streets and towering buildings, there resided a girl named Serene Adrielle Ybañez. With a heart as delicate as the ocean breeze that graced the shores of her beloved city, Adrielle navigated through life's complexities with a quiet grace.

As a transferee student from the prestigious University of San Carlos, Serene Adrielle carried with her a blend of humility and intellect that set her apart. People knew her for being outgoing and loving everything girly. She was also recognized as an outstanding student in her batch. Her intelligence shone brightly, garnering praise from peers and professors.

Despite her outgoing nature, Serene Adrielle remained focused on academics, often prioritizing her studies over nonsense things most teenagers do. This dedication to her education was evident in her daily routines, where she could be found buried in books or engrossed in scholarly discussions. Admirably, she had made it clear that she was not interested in relationships, choosing instead to channel her energy into her academic pursuits.

She lived a sheltered life, shielded by her brother's protective embrace. Her brother's watchful eye kept potential suitors at bay. What her brother didn't realize was that while he was busy guarding Adrielle, his best friend, French Trevor, was slowly but surely winning Adrielle's affection right under his nose.All Rights Reserved

When in Rome by lalalalawriting

Love with strings detached by M_scorpioxx

I put on a show only for him in front of hundreds of people. I bring one hand up to my hair flicking them to the other side, trailing that hand down to my sternum and then my boob as I keep swaying my hips from to side, bending my knees as I lower myself a bit to the ground before sharply standing up again and slowly spinning around, circling my hips. I run my hands through the back of my hair before nailing my gaze on his eyes, slowly walking up to him. I watch him as he wets his lips before biting his plumb bottom one, eyes trailing up my body. Once I reach him, I wrap my arms around his neck and run my fingers through his hair as I press my body up against his. His hands shoot out to grab me from my lower waist, pulling me even closer to him as he pushes a leg between mine, staring into my eyes. I turn my head to the side and brush my lips against his ear before licking and biting his earlobe the same way I did at the party before whispering a few words he was dying to hear. "Take me back to your place." ---------- Theo is a 20-year-old university student with a bad temper. Letting go of the past can be a difficult thing to do but a much-needed one to move on.

Getting recently out of a toxic relationship, a new one is the last thing she's looking for. Can you love someone that doesn't allow themselves to be loved? A romance filled with drama, passion and love.

The Guy in My Spanish class by molliepollie2

This time, I can't help but flinch as he touches me and pulls the other strap down .. baring my other shoulder to his eyes. "Anthony .. you can't say those things. We .. we're supposed to be best friends." As I try to reason with him, he begins to kiss my shoulder .. making the words come out so much more weaker than intended. Anthony stays quiet after what I say, or rather he ignores me, instead using his other hand to play with the skin on my stomach exposed from the top. "I know .." He trails off. I hold my breath, anxious as I wait to hear what he's going to say next. "But I genuinely don't know if that's enough for me anymore .." Anthony moves my hair to side, and the words he speaks are paired with a slow kiss to the nape of my neck. Beatrix thought she'd never trust another guy again. After having her heart broken and being bullied out of her high school, when an opportunity to leave takes the form of a scholarship to a private university, she packs up and accepts happily. Everything was supposed to start over that year, all she had to do was lay low and maintain a focus on her studies to graduate. Until she meets a guy in her Spanish class. Beatrix's world is turned upside down as she explores new friendships and begins to open back up to the world. She begins to navigate her new life on campus, filled with arduous exams, study sessions, hard decisions and of course .. a little drama and excitement to make things entertaining. This is a slow burn!!!

Connections | ✔️ by CxTannir

[COMPLETE] Sorry this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.

With Things We Can't Have by MrsMolinaaa

"Fuck you," I cried out, retracting my hand to inspect my injured finger. The small, throbbing pain was a reminder of our confrontation. "See? You can't help but play the damsel in distress." His large hands enveloped mine, inspecting my injured finger with surprising gentleness. Victor's touch ignited both irritation and an inexplicable warmth within me as he rubbed the sore spot with a tenderness that caught me off guard. "You just can't help it." He pressed a soft kiss to my palm, leaving me momentarily stunned as he released my hand.

Crushin on you. by OgWriter06

"I really should just focus on base-" Adel cut him off while laughing, as she stood up from her place in his bed. "Calm down, Dude. This was a hookup, I'm not gonna confess my unconditional love for you or anything." A cute blush came to his face, before he cracked a smile."W-well okay then." She smiled too, while quickly throwing on her shirt. "Okay then." With that, her hand reached for her phone that sat against his nightstand. Parting her lips, she started to tell him goodbye, until he asked her, "Can I walk you home?" After her first one night stand in college, Adel finally felt ready to take on the world; Until, a revelation causes her to keep a secret from her best friend, out of fear that it will ruin their friendship.

Serena by ariesaf

I look at him with bewilderment. Emotion floods through me as he looks at me with boredom lacing his eyes. His entire body is calm as he leans against the brick walls and stares down at me. " Oh yeah? Then why did you ignore me today after that moment at the beach? " I say crossing my arms. " What fucking moment? We were all just having some fun. I didn't ignore you, I was busy getting ready for my date. I didn't know the princess needed attention twenty-four seven. " This whole time I have been imagining things? Imagining that he feels the same electricity I do? Growing angry , I take a step forward and our noses barely touch. " Princess? " 2022 #1 in Lust
