⚠️♨️ GRAPHIC SEXUAL CONTENT. Smut w/ a plot. PERUSE AT WILL . ♨️⚠️

She walked into the pub...and right into his heart.

Samantha Sanders doesn't take shit from anyone, especially men. She's a voracious and self-determined girl with a past that's kept her from sleeping with the same person twice. She's anti-commitment, anti-domesticity, anti-submission (unless it's between the sheets), and anti-anyone trying to tame her wild spirit.

Daniel Sadler is also all of those things...minus the "anti" & add the "pro".

So when Samantha shows up at that particular pub that fateful night on his 24th birthday, Dan can't help the draw he feels towards her.

She inspires lovesick poetry in him & he inspires her to grow as a person. While Dan convinces her to stay in his life, Samantha convinces him to go pro with the music. They struggle as they get to know each other and when sex is added to the mix, well...no one said it would be easy.

His hopeless romanticisms scare her and her carefree, take-it-or-leave it attitude scares him, but as the friendship blossoms & the sex (often) takes reign, there's only a clash of heads.




This story is a prequel to "Dating a Tortured Artist" (fka "Haunt"), however "Sleeping" can be independently read WITHOUT "Dating", and vice versa. 

This story only came together because I've immersed myself so deep into these characters that I felt I absolutely needed to explore their 3 year history before the events in "Dating". (And for anyone wondering: while the smut in "Dating" is plenty & well-written, the one in "Sleeping" is far better...imo. 🥵) 

Happy reading! 😉




WARNING: This story contains extremely mature sexual themes and strong language that may not be suitable for some readers. I'll try to add an "18+" to chapters that are a little too "smut-like", but I can't keep you from reading this type of content if you're already determined to.

Proving I was good enough for her was the only thing I was worried about. I have Daddy issues. Mine wasn't around much, I mean like he's around just didn't give a crap about my brother or me. I'm not close to my Mother either so I guess I have Mommy issues too. I'm just a big blob of issues, I don't do commitments because of this. I've worked my ass off in school to be where I'm at now, and I don't need a man to mess any of that up. I'm not a slut, I just know what I want, and a relationship is not that. Then I had one night with him, that one night changed my entire life, it quickly moved into two nights then we were basically together all the time. I walked away from the best thing that has ever happened to me. Maybe I'll find my way back when I'm not so scared to ruin his life.

He finds her, and because of her dormant wolf, he thinks she's human. Soon she goes missing, because her pack members sold her to a rogue pack. Alex searches, and searches, but cannot find her. Her wolf has to completely go dormant, because it's just causing her pain and she would died of she didn't. Alex thinks that she's dead, because he felt the connection between them break.

"You have no idea how badly I want to make love to you," he responds with a shake of his head. "I love you so much," he continues and my heart melts. "I love you," I whisper back. "Okay, I'm going to make love to you now, Angel. It will hurt a little, so let me know if it hurts too much," he says and leans down to kiss me. "I'll be gentle," he tells me. Keeping his eyes locked on mine he shifts his hips forward slightly and enters inside of me. My mouth widens as he enters, and I feel a slight pinch. He was right, it does hurt, but it's not terrible. "Christ! You're the sun!" he calls out. I watch his face crumble. He buries his face in my neck and then he's above me again, his hands on my cheeks again. ... For 20 year old Alison Scott, love was never something she deemed herself worthy of.

This is a sequel of both my books, 'That One Flight' and ' Love In Belgrade', I'd recommend you reading them first (if you haven't) to make the storyline more clear. *This book has some explicit content* *EXTRACT FROM THE STORY* I look through my phone again and I see that Ana has texted me. I smile as I read through her messages. Ana: Hey, are you asleep, if so, I am sorry if I woke you up. I just wanted to say that I love you. Ana: And I miss you so much. Too much. Then I see she sent me another message, a short while after her last one. Ana: James, are you okay? Please text me whenever you can. I love you. I can feel my heart is beating faster. James: Hey baby, I am fine. But I'll be better if you were here beside me in my bed. ;) James: How is my birthday girl? James: Ana, I miss you so fucking much too baby. Just the thought of you makes me go so hard. I can't wait until I see you again, kiss you again, hug you again, lick you again, eat you again... fuck you again. Fucking hell, I need to see her, but in person. Ana: You know that me getting wet, plus being out in public does not go together all that well ;) She is wet? Fuck me... James: I am going to make you rain the next time I see you, that is my promise to you ;) Ana: That is not helping my leaking problem, you know that? James: I know... I am just saying what I will do to you the next time I see you. Ana: James! You are going to make me squirt in public... James: Oh... I can't let that happen... Ana: Thank you god... James: You can only squirt for me, only on me.
Our Own Summer. by fwjoogie

Personally, I never saw myself as an optimistic person. I never really had any friends, I didn't share feelings for people, I never really had any social life whatsoever. My life was always boring. Especially when I was younger. My parents were sucked up alcoholics, we never had the money to do anything due to my mom quitting her job and my dad being a selfish prick. Though, I'm now an adult; 18 years old. No longer in school. I have job at Walmart as a nightshift stocker; my mother's friend gave me the job. It's summer, so I'm not working as much. I have a small friend group, containing people of 4. Me including, Nathan, Carly, and Dalton. We've known each other since early middle school. I, Kyle, have known Carly and Dalton since grade school. It is rolling up to be Summer. Us 4, have decided to make this Summer year the best of our lives. Join me and the others in our journey, exploring our emotions and different places. Getting into tight scenarios. Explore it through our different pov's. It's definitely a train ride! kyle..wyaa - tiktok enjoy my story! im not an experienced wattpad writer, and im not natively english, so just try your best to make up with my language. I will most likely be making a sequel to this story with different endings and scenarios. And, probably a copy but in my native language. ( Русский ) This story does have NSFW in it, and some trigger warnings. I, of course, will make sure to put the TW at the start of the story of what could possibly be triggering to some. + A lot of songs are used in this story, which some include with the title. Some artist's like, Deftones, $lothboi, Glass Animals, Nirvana, even some rappers song's are included! So, if you noticed anything related, drop a comment on the chapter to tell me you noticed! I try to keep each chapter a single word name as well, sometimes I add a subheading to the chapter :). thank you for reading lovelys<3.

Melanie Davis is traumatized to put it shortly, her dad died, her moms an alcoholic and she was raped my her trashy boyfriend. She has no one. Until one day, she bumps into the one guys whos is can be frequently found in her thoughts for the past year. Melanie has learned to keep her head down and emotions in so the sudden appearance of a man who wears his heart on his sleeve and is trying to pull hers out is a bit, well... a bit much. And she's got some secrets that almost no one knows and the journey to trusting someone is a long one. But I guess we'll see how it goes. TW: Mentions of rape, alcohol, drugs, language, sex/sexual references, and high school partying. I'd put no one under 18 but I'm under 18 so that be a bit hypocritical of me. Hope u enjoy. 👍 But beware that I am still a minor and I'm still in school so I might not have time to update everyday, I'll try to at last once a week. Bit on the weekends I have no life so you can expect more from me then. Anyways if anyone actually reads this, it's my first story that came purely from me and only, others I've written (never posted) have been coped or largely inspired by a story someone else had written so be gentle with me, okay? (P.S. I have really bad spelling and grammar so I read over these thoroughly but if there are any mistakes please tell me so I can go back and fix them I really want you guys to enjoys this book). This is book is based off parts of ,y life and own personal experience, several romance and mental health books, and songs like One Day by Tate McRae and don't miss me by Claire Rosinkranz. Give them a listen. 👌
