Alana-May Fletcher had always felt insecure in her skin, longing to be loved for her personality, not undesired because of her weight. She was gorgeous with a heart of pure love, but no one would be able to see that under *what felt like* her bubble of a belly that just couldn't fit properly in jeans without her feeling disgusting. The lump left just above her crotch made her gross, the way her arms would flop if she raised her hand too fast-- it all felt like an everlasting nightmare to her in high school, she couldn't remember self any other way. She didn't know that others did see her for how gorgeous she was inside and out, but she would soon find out as she headed off to college. She met a boy who she thought wouldn't even look in her direction with a second glance. He showed her just how desirable she was by being her prince in a lifetime of rumplestiltskins. Constantly playing with her emotions and using her empathy to make her feel small from their own insecurities, May lost hope for ever finding true love. This prince came just in time, or did he?All Rights Reserved

Mahogany Doll by NJNJ14

(COMPLETED) "What... do I make you nervous your honour?" He asks into my ear, his tone enough to make my stomach flutter. "I'm not a judge yet, you heathen" I giggle. He gets impossibly closer. "Yeah I know. But you will be. We both will. M'kay?" *** Aaliyah Oriento-Miller. A sharp witted, but introverted lawyer. Aged 28, she knows what she wants and nothing will stand in her way. In her head, feelings only get in the way and 'premature' commitment breeds lack of productivity. In contrast, fellow lawyer and best friend Elian Deogene, age 28, is loud, extroverted and animated. He has no problem showing his feelings. Commitment is a show of strength and unity. Often nicknamed the 'mahogany doll' for remaining expressionless, will Aaliyah learn how to crack the mask?

If You Love Me by slybatspidow

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023

Please tell me you have this seat pushed back for another reason" I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. "I don't know you tell me" he repsonded and I give him a disgusted look. "Ain't no way you letting me sit in the seat you banged a bitch in" I cant "It's clean and you acting like you never had car sex before" he chuckled. More like none I stayed quiet and his eyes were on me. "Wait...you're a virgin" his eyes slightly widened like it was a shock to him. "Stay out of my business" I mugged him and fixed the seat. "With a face and body like that no doubt I would smash" he looked me up and down. "Except you ain't never gonna get a piece of this" I glide my hand down my chest with a smug look on my face. "We'll see"

The Other Side of Ordinary by childishgenius

In The Other Side of Ordinary, 18-year-old Elias Garcia has always felt like he lives under the weight of his own reflection. Born with a facial birth defect, he's been accustomed to the stares, whispers, and the feeling of not quite fitting in. Growing up in a small town, Eli was never able to shake the constant sense of being "different," and he doubts anyone could ever see beyond his appearance to the person he really is. Now, starting university, Eli is ready to keep his head down, focus on his studies, and avoid the social pitfalls that plagued him in high school. But when he meets Amara, a spirited and kind-hearted art student, he's caught off guard by her warmth and curiosity. Amara doesn't seem fazed by his appearance; in fact, she seems drawn to his sharp wit and gentle soul. For the first time, Eli begins to question whether he's truly unworthy of love and acceptance. As their friendship grows into something more, Eli is forced to confront his deepest insecurities and the walls he's built to keep people out. Through laughter, shared struggles, and small acts of courage, Eli learns that love isn't about being flawless- it's about being seen. And maybe, just maybe, he might be brave enough to let someone see him for who he really is.

For An Azalea To Bloom Again by ari_writess737

"Have you ever been inlove?" I asked curiously, honestly wanting to hear his response. "I don't think I deserve it." His eyes were on everything except me, as if looking at me was a crime.

Azalea Evans was finally better, for the most part, and everything was going just fine. Amazing friends, stable job, dream college, the perfect life. Until Theodore Black comes back into her life, everything starts to fall apart and all the things she worked for feel useless. But what happens when he wants to make things better between them? What happens when old feelings resurface? (ONGOING)

We Dream at Midnight (Ember 2) by immoralLaurel

Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).

[My nubile body ripened with lustful desire for every inch of this Seraph of a being. Finalizing our orally initiated bliss he steps back as his nimble fingers gracefully prance across the fleshy meadows of my thighs. My orbs soaking up the beautiful illustration of Maverick before me. My blood rushing through my body like Grand Rapids, drowning out any argument to stop, slow, or refrain from fully engaging his scrumptious body with mine. His black sweat pants gracefully serving my greedy eyes every inch of his swaying appendage, like a waiter serving the finest hors d'oeuvres. I willingly accept, being the only guest in attendance.
