Maya applied pressure to my wound. I hissed from the pain. "Stop fucking around." She rolled her eyes at me. Maya finished tending my wound, wrapping it with a bandage. As she got up to put the first aid away, I stopped her. My thumb rubbed against the cool skin of her hand. I pulled her to sit on my lap. My fingers ran through her hair. "You're doing it again." I ignored her, sinking my chin into her shoulder. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I placed small pecks on neck. Her breathing turning heavy. "Stop. Someone could walk in." "And? You think they want to watch? Shit, I would." _____________________________________ ~Maya Castillo~ Escaping her traumatic past, Maya and her brother, Santiago, run to New York.

Obsession.
If you like fantasy/romance you should try my story The Flower Longed Death. It is written a LOT better than this one is! -------------------------- "You must've got the wrong impression if you keep expecting to get away with shit like this, so let me make things clear," He says with a calm smile. He moves his face closer to mine, losing the lighthearted grin that had previously cooled my nerves. I get a better look at the scar across the bridge of his nose, and the vague one X'ed onto his lips. Now I want them even more. -------------------------- Eighteen year old Mileva never thought her past would catch up to her after leaving years ago to live in New York City. She didn't think she wanted it to. However, she also didn't think she would cross paths with a guy like Valen, the Italian Mafia's heir. He's only twenty three, but he's somehow the most attractive and intimidating man she has ever met, let alone heard of. Mileva battles her anxiety adjusting to this new life of hers, while Valen is just getting comfortable with his new obsession. -------------------------- Word count: 110,000 There is a lot of graphic content, so please read carefully! List of specific warnings can be found in the introduction. The writing gets better as the story progresses, I promise.Complete
Unspoken Words
Alyssa Bronx is just like any other teen trying to survive junior year. She spends most of her days keeping her head low, waiting for graduation to finally come. With a distant family, the grief of losing her dad, and the scars left behind from a cheating ex, she believes there's nothing good life has to offer. Aside from her two best friends, the girls who pulled her out of the loneliness she's lived in for so long. To Alyssa, they feel like the only people she has left. One late morning, she lands herself in detention, where she finds herself next to her brother's best friend. The boy who doesn't even remember her, and the one who won't stop staring at her. He's nothing but cocky, smug, and way too good at making her uncomfortable. But detention leads to conversations, and conversations lead to things she never saw coming. ****** This book has been mostly rewritten. If you previously started reading, I would suggest going back so it makes sense. **Contains swearing. Touches on topics such as eating disorders, sexual themes, and abuse.** Not edited.
The Hierarchy
THIS IS THE SECOND BOOK IN THE GOOD AND THE BAD SERIES. IT IS NOT REQUIRED THAT YOU READ THE FIRST ONE BUT I RECOMMEND THAT YOU SHOULD. *** "I'm not going to make you that girl." he tells me rubbing my back. "I'm not making you some play toy Reece. You're more than that. We're more than that. I can't promise to change over night or completely but I can promise to try." Those are really all the words I need to hear from him. That's he's willing to try. "I love you." I murmur into his shirt. "I love you too, babe. We're going to be okay." "Yeah," I agree nodding. "I know." ** * Caprice Hunters-Valentine, the daughter of Bronx and Damien Hunters-Valentine, is known as the queen bee of the school. with her piercing blue eye and nappy attitude. No one would dare cross her path. She left the dance school at age nine and transferred to a prep school and ever since, things were never the same.

Hudson Kingston plays that role in her life. No one dares tries to double cross, Reece. But what happens when Liam McCormick, her rivalry, decides Ms. Prom Queen needs a wake-up call? Literally. After a class camping trip, everything goes south for the royals of Highland High and eventually, someone will be at the bottom.Complete
