2023 Watty Winner! 🖤🤍💜❤️ Happy endings aren't one-size-fits-all. It's the first day of senior year and Dot just heard the most perfect piece of news: Joshua Jameson, the guy she's madly in love with, is single. While Dot's fantasy life with Joshua has been building with intensity since the two of them swam naked together the summer before eighth grade, she's been denied the 'real deal' for years, thanks to new girl Ali swooping in, stealing her dream lover, and keeping him captive for an eternity. Dot finally has a chance to make something happen, but her friend group's constant demand for her amateur therapist skills, Joshua's angsty post breakup healing process, and her own lack of romantic game in the 'real world', is making that nearly impossible. So, when Bud shows up, with his special brand of social awkwardness and sexual ambiguity, Dot discovers she likes being distracted by the quirky guy who isn't projecting sex fantasies in her brain 24/7 or asking her to solve all his problems. Bud vows to help Dot get the guy she's always wanted, but the two soon find their budding friendship blossoming into something more. And just as Dot starts to lose herself in funny love with Bud, he takes a big step toward understanding his own romantic identity, leaving Dot to wonder where she fits in a love story that leaves out a key ingredient in her recipe for a happy ending: Sex. Brimming with heart, humor, and a hefty dash of heat, "See Dot Smile" is a scintillatingly sweet story about a tight-knit group of teens navigating their last year of high school together, and what happens when one girl's quest for love and sexual conquest takes an unexpected turn into uncharted romantic territory. Content Notes: This story contains profanity and sexual situations.

It took every ounce of my willpower not to reciprocate his kiss. Our lips moved in flawless synchrony. I trembled as I felt his tongue tracing my lower lip. My legs turned feeble, and I clutched his shirt for support. Suddenly, his hands released mine and firmly seized my waist, simultaneously drawing me closer. I could perceive the fervent heat emanating from his body. His heart throbbed rapidly beneath my hands. I withdrew my hand and exerted a forceful push to separate us. "Soaf... please," he implored, his azure eyes locked onto mine. "I... I have to go," I responded, taken aback by the unexpected situation. ************ Sophie Esinberg embodied the typical nerd, often seen with glasses perched on her nose and her arms clutching books tightly as she made her way through the school hallway. However, it wasn't always like this for Sophie. She used to be confident and outspoken. So, what changed her? The answer lies in the relentless bullying she endured, without anyone to stand up for her. Ever since her childhood best friend, Daniel left town, Sophie resigned herself to a life of solitude, embracing her status as a loner. Everything takes a tumultuous turn when fate thrusts her into a project alongside the school's renowned bad boy and heartthrob, Raymond Reynolds, also known as Mr. Popular. Sophie's world crumbles as she discovers that she's developing feelings for the cocky, extraordinarily attractive, and irresistibly charming Raymond. However, deep down, she knows she's insignificant in his world-a mere speck of insignificance. Will she fight against her instincts and let him break her heart? ****** Highest Ranking #1

His rich, velvety voice sent thrills down my spine as he spoke my name. His intense, mesmerising gaze focused on mine, making it impossible to look away. As he drew me closer, his powerful arms wrapped around me, and I could feel the warmth of his breath against my skin. The aroma of his fragrance, a seductive blend of spice and musk, filled the air, making my heart race and my senses whirl. It's as if every aspect of him is intended to captivate and enchant me, keeping me completely entranced. "Release me." I blushed as I neglected his look. As I mentioned, he released me promptly, it appeared that he had forgotten to do so. We stood silent for moments, and then he broke the silence. "So, why were you ignoring me?" he complained. "Why would I ignore you ?" I lied confidently. "I noticed you ignoring me, you were trying to hide me " he protested again. "Well, I don't have reason to confront you", I showed a fake attitude. "As you had reason to hit on those boys from swimming pools!" I felt humiliated, but I maintained control. "Well, I can hit on you too," I get closer to him and sniff his collar. He was astonished, then chuckled. I also smiled. "That was unexpected," he said with surprise. "You'll find out how unexpected I am if you keep bumping like this", I warned him with a grin. "Whoa, is that so? Then I think I'll try to bump into you". ******** Fate brings two strangers together in a chance meeting that leads to an unexpected romance. As Sarah and Zayan get to know each other, they find themselves falling deeper in love despite the challenges that come with starting a relationship with someone you barely know. As the two navigate the complexities of their new relationship, they must confront their situations and navigate the ups and downs of falling in love with someone you barely know. Will their newfound love be strong enough to weather the storms of life, or will it be a fleeting passion that burns out as quickly as it ignited?"

Kendall has always lived a quiet life in a small town in Illinois with her family, friends, and boyfriend Jordan. Her life had been mostly happy other than when her best friend moved away when she was 10. It took her years to get over that loss. Then several years later, tragedy struck when her father passed away suddenly and Kendall was forced to move with her mom closer to Chicago where she could find a job to support the two of them. Little does Kendall know that she is in for the surprise of a lifetime. From the book.... As he catches up to me, he grabs my arm swings me around and with one swift movement he ushers me into a nearby empty classroom with the lights off. He cages me in against the wall. His close proximity is making me dizzy and my mind is thinking very dirty thoughts. Wait no. I can't think like that anymore. "Kendall." He says hungrily. "You are mine and only mine. You drive me wild and no one else can have you." He says as he attacks my lips. It feels so amazing I can't help but kiss him back. I run my hands through his beautiful hair and he groans into the kiss. Man I don't want this to ever end. I feel drunk on him. I don't think I can let him go. He stops suddenly to finish his thoughts. "No one can make you feel like this. Or kiss you here...." He says as he kisses down my neck. I moan and he smirks pulling his face impossibly close to mine. "..or touch you." He says as he takes his hand and brushes it lightly down my arm and he snakes it back around my back pulling me even closer if that is possible. He finally stops at my ass which he squeezes delightfully and I hum in response. Warning: Contains graphic sexual content. Read at your own discretion. You will not be warned ahead of time.
