Astrid was a whirlwind of colors-a vibrant artist who painted life's emotions onto her canvas. Her studio was a sanctuary, filled with the scent of turpentine and the echo of her brushstrokes. But amidst the chaos of hues, she craved connection-a love story that would blend seamlessly into her palette.

Enter Gwen-a quiet soul with Jet black hair, lost in the pages of old books. She frequented the cozy bookstore down the street, where the smell of paper and ink enveloped her like a warm hug. Gwen's heart thrived on stories-the ones she read and the ones she longed to live.

One rainy afternoon, their paths converged. Astrid, seeking inspiration beyond her canvas, wandered into the bookstore. Gwen engrossed in a novel, didn't notice the splash of color that entered her world. But Astid noticed Gwen-the way her eyes crinkled when she smiled, the way she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

Astrid struck up a conversation, her words like brushstrokes on a blank canvas. Gwen, startled by the sudden intrusion, blushed and stammered. They talked about art, literature, and the magic that existed where the two intersected. Astid's laughter echoed through the quiet bookstore, and Gwen's heart skipped a beat.All Rights Reserved

The absence of names fosters a unique intimacy, allowing them to connect on a level transcending conventional friendships. Bonded through each other's mystery, will their interests towards each other fade once they get to know each other a little too well?

Chasing Sunshine by C_RG_Novaek

As I looked over at her, it struck me how beautiful she was. Her hair was blowing carelessly in the wind, a halo on her head. I had the oddest impulse to reach out and touch it. See if it was as soft as it looked. Her lips were curled into a soft smile that radiated warmth. I wondered who or what she was thinking of and my heart skipped a beat imagining her smiling for me. It's crazy how I never noticed how blue he eyes are. Or how her laughter sounds like summertime. It's strange how I never really looked at her. And suddenly I couldn't stop staring. - You saved me. He saved me. She saved me. I saved me. I loved the three of you. I love the three of you. - Love and Lust series, book one.

She pulled me against her, her hands roaming my curves. I melted into her touch, my breath ragged. Before we went any further, Kali stopped me. "Wait," she said, looking directly into my eyes. "What is it?" I asked, concerned. "I need to know that you're sure about this," Kali said, her eyes filled with uncertainty. I looked into her beautiful eyes and knew that she was being sincere. "I'm sure," I said, my voice unwavering. "I'm very sure, Kali." Kali smiled a radiant, breathtaking smile. "Okay Bella," she whispered into my ear. She nibbled my earlobe, earning a moan from me. "Can you keep quiet or are you a screamer?" "Fuck me and find out," I demanded.

She is Fatal to Death (Standalone Story) by writeraliciagonzalez

She's dead by the third chapter. Okay, it's a bit more complicated than that. Okay, it's A LOT more complicated than that. Renata wants nothing more than to pay her bills through her mildly boring office job and figure out whether she is still in love with her best friend. The latter half of that desire is just a sneak peak into her messy life-and it's only getting messier. Considering the paranormal world she is about to dive head first into, she will come to realize that figuring out her heart may just be the easiest part of this journey. Well, the endless supply of supernatural hotness in this story may beg to differ-but that's besides the point. Either way, it's gonna be a killer time ;) EXCERPT Chicken tacos it is. Right as Renata grabbed the ingredients, she turned to put them next to the stove, where a clean, plastic cutting board awaited. But as she moved, she was confronted by a stranger, an intruder, standing mere inches from her. Before she could scream, he was on her, slamming her against the fridge. Her back flashed with sharp pain. Her eyes pricked with fear as she drank in his uncovered face. Deeply tanned skin. Ruby red eyes-ruby red eyes? Thick, slashing eyebrows. Flat, broad nose. Buzzcut. Handsome. That was as far as she would go in complimenting him considering this guy held a knife to her throat. When he spoke, his voice came out like thunder. It held a thousand threats and a thousand secrets. It held promise of pain if provoked. "If you scream," he warned, mouth pulled in a slight snarl, "this ends quickly." She didn't dare nod against the blade. He noticed and amusement lit up for just a second in those devilish eyes. Oh, whoever the fuck this was, she already hated him. Considering her predicament, panic was the most prominent emotion coursing through her at the moment. "Good." He removed his hand "Now you're going to answer my questions." °°MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT OF ALL KINDS, AND I MEAN ALL KINDS°
