That is until she runs into Dominic's old teammate, Loïc, who invites her to the rugby house's annual back-to-school party.

She smiled sweetly in return, "Now, what could I possibly want from you?" His eyes roamed over her face for a minute before his arm shot out and wrapped around her waist. She let out a surprised gasp as she suddenly found herself pressed up against him. She shivered involuntarily as she felt his breath fan her face and stiffened again as she realized how close his face was to her own. •••••••• A story about a group of friends going after the boys they've been secretly in love with for all of high school.

A year after falling in love far from the noise of fame, Billie and Elodie's relationship is stronger than ever. Tucked away on a peaceful ranch, they've created a sanctuary where music, horses, and quiet mornings are the norm-but so is passion, devotion, and building something bigger than themselves.

As tourists arrive and the ranch blossoms into something new, Billie and Elodie must balance intimacy and ambition, private kisses and public praise, and the delicate beauty of planning a future together. But love like theirs was never meant to stand still. A proposal is on the horizon. So is the dream of starting a family. And with it, Billie begins to gently step back from the spotlight-because her biggest dream isn't another award or tour... it's building a life, a home, and a future with Elodie. With whispered confessions, playful teasing, secret projects, and spontaneous affection, this sequel is a celebration of love that's no longer hidden-love that's ready for what comes next. Because when you find your forever, the only thing left to do is build it.

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.
