Chapter 1: The Serendipitous Encounter
The first hint of autumn had touched the air, painting the small college town of Maplewood in shades of amber and gold. Emily Carter, a junior majoring in English literature, was walking back to her dorm from the campus library, her arms laden with books. She loved this time of year-the crisp air, the vibrant leaves, and the sense of new beginnings that came with the fall semester.
As she turned a corner, she collided with someone, sending her books scattering across the sidewalk. "Oh no, I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed, bending down to gather her things.
"No, it's my fault. I wasn't looking where I was going," said a deep, warm voice. She looked up to see a young man with tousled brown hair and striking blue eyes. He was holding out one of her books, a lopsided grin on his face.
"I'm Lucas," he said, handing her the book.
"Emily," she replied, her cheeks flushing slightly. "Thanks for helping."
They stood there for a moment, an awkward yet charged silence between them. "I've seen you around the campus library a lot," Lucas said finally. "Do you spend a lot of time there?"
Emily nodded. "I practically live there. I'm a literature major."

Short Story: One COMPLETED and EDITED She was there every weekend, with her nose buried deep down in romantic books. She was oblivious to almost everything, even to the Man who visited that place, even though he had no interest in books, only for her. _________________________________________ She smiled shyly, and muttered, "You know me so well." "Of course I know. I know almost everything about you." He said the last words in a whisper while tucking a strand of her hair. Her heart beat raced, cheeks became hot and tips of her ear full red. She didn't dare to look at him. He cupped her chin and pulled her face towards him softly, making her look at him. "You have no idea how beautiful you are, in and out." He whispered looking in her eyes intently, with so much love for her. She was panting slightly by now. He cupped her right cheek, brushing it with his thumb slowly, feeling the softness of her skin. She leaned her face towards to his palm, loving the touch and the warmth it was giving. The feeling was new to her. The touch was new to her. ************Complete

Landing on my knees, I kneeled back against the bottom of the cold door, letting it cool my hot skin. "Good girl."

Never forget the way you feel right now, Madie." **MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY** This story contains sensitive topics such as abuse, violence, and explicit sexual content.Complete

Connections | ✔️
[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.

"No you're fine you just drank too much. We were trying to sober you up, then we found you at the bar drinking shots!" It was really a funny sight as I recalled. " Lucas ?"
