Amara stood in front of Zion, her hands trembling. "Zion, why are you doing this? You won't let me in. I don't understand."

Zion didn't respond immediately. His eyes were distant, his jaw clenched tight, and for a moment, the silence between them felt suffocating.

"I can't keep guessing what's going on in your head," Amara continued, her voice breaking. "I've been patient, I've been understanding, but you keep pulling away. I need to know, Zion. Why?"

He finally looked at her, his gaze sharp and unreadable. "What do you want from me, Amara?"

Her words caught in her throat. She hadn't expected him to ask that. "I-I want you to trust me. I want you to let me help, to be real with me."

Zion stepped back, the tension in his shoulders clear. "You want me to trust you? But what about what you're hiding? What about your own walls?"

Amara's heart skipped. "My walls?"

He took a deep breath, his eyes narrowing. "You're just as scared as I am, Amara. You want me to open up, but you haven't shown me the real you. So tell me, what's really going on with you?"

Amara stood frozen, the weight of his words sinking in. She had expected to get answers from him, but now, it seemed like she was the one who needed to come clean.
-----

The Prayer of My Heart follows Amara, a passionate Christian singer who has been praying for the right man to enter her life, someone who shares her faith and values. When she meets Zion, a handsome man recently released from prison, she's drawn to him despite the emotional walls he's built. Zion is haunted by his past, struggling with trust issues and a desire to redeem himself. As Amara grows closer to him, she begins to question her own fears and doubts about love. Together, they must navigate their personal baggage and past mistakes, learning that true love requires vulnerability, faith, and forgiveness.

Alayna moans desperately, gripping my shoulder blades as I slowly guide myself inside of her. We're both gasping into each other's mouths, and my hands are in her hair as I push a little deeper into her. Alayna's eyes flutter to a close and her head rolls back as I edge out and thrust back into her, as gently as I can. I take one of her hands into mine, threading our fingers together as my chest glides across her breasts as I push into her, multiple times. We're moaning and groaning and Alayna is clawing her nails down my back, leaving a trail of sweet pain and marks. My face is buried in her neck as I press soft kisses to her skin and Alayna's thighs tighten around my waist, causing me to fall deeper inside of her. ------------------------------------------------------ Alayna Camila wasn't prepared to see a boy being beaten up behind college grounds. She also wasn't prepared to recognise him as the quiet boy at the back of the classroom. When she helps him, she realises that they're not as different as they thought they were. Dawson Anderson didn't think anyone saw what happened that night and wasn't expecting to feel a pull towards Alayna. A girl who his family would despise. As they get closer and as they console each other in the pains of their past, both Alayna and Dawson fall deeper and deeper into a love that consumes them. But, Dawson is too broken to be loved and knows he won't be able to love her back. Alayna is willing to put everything at risk to show him that he can be loved- with catastrophic results. Can Alayna and Dawson fight against all odds and prove that they belong together? 🫶 First book in the 'Devotion Series'. Can be read as a standalone. Started: 23 June 2023 Completed: 22 March 2024

[My nubile body ripened with lustful desire for every inch of this Seraph of a being. Finalizing our orally initiated bliss he steps back as his nimble fingers gracefully prance across the fleshy meadows of my thighs. My orbs soaking up the beautiful illustration of Maverick before me. My blood rushing through my body like Grand Rapids, drowning out any argument to stop, slow, or refrain from fully engaging his scrumptious body with mine. His black sweat pants gracefully serving my greedy eyes every inch of his swaying appendage, like a waiter serving the finest hors d'oeuvres. I willingly accept, being the only guest in attendance. "I missed you mama." Lust and desire threaded through his words like a needle and thread through the finest of silks.] Fuck a get even in New York we one up a bitch.

"Calm down, just calm down." He thought to himself as he tried to even out his labored breathing, it it seems to just have made it worse. His breathing became shorter and harder causing him to clutch his chest as the bitter December air seemed to attack his throat. "Ji- Hu." A soft voice rang out, though his head was still pounding. It caught his attention, "Ji-Hu, you have to calm down, take deep breathes. I promise you're okay." He didn't feel okay though, it wasn't working. "I'm trying." He gasped clenching his eyes shut, he balled up his fist hitting his chest before falling to the ground. Suddenly he stopped, everything stopped. Ji-Hu Kim or JAY is a 24 year old man living his everyday life in Chicago, Illinois. He's not satisfied but he's not complaining, however he feels that he should be doing more. Though he has no clue where to start, so he's settled for now. One fateful New Years Eve dared to change the course of his life for the better, and for the first time in his life he just might let it. Junni Sauveterre, a 21 year old woman supposedly in her 'prime.' Though she doesn't really know how true that statement is. Because frankly? she doesn't really know where she's going. But as long as God guides, she's decided to follow faithfully. She's been following Christ full heartedly for a few years and it seems to be a new lesson everyday. Not that she's complaining, maybe just a smidge. However, what happens when these two just so happen to end up in the same situation on a bitter New Years Eve night? Disclaimer; This is a Christian, FAITH BASED story, I welcome all to read. But, if you know that is not what you like, please be respectful and move along, God Bless! 🤍

"I may not remember much, but I do know that I had the best time with you last night." Charlie drops his hand from his mouth and lifts his head to stare into my eyes, pushing his hair back from his face at the same time. "And I know this is awkward now, because I'm pretty sure we were both naked together in bed last night..." I choke on air, trying to dispel the imaginary object from my throat. Charlie reaches out and lightly grasps my hand; my eyes slide from our interlocked fingers to his shining pupils. "...but I still wouldn't change a single thing about it. So, I really do look forward to hearing from you later, Kaiydeen." It's like I've been taken hostage by his electric stare. I don't want to look away. I never want to look away. The busy noises of the street and the honking of the traffic fade as I lose focus, nothing strong enough to force my attention away from this boy. Finally, Archer loudly clears his throat as he flings his door open and plops into the car with a huff, breaking the trance between the two of us. I look away as I withdraw my hand from his grasp, trying to figure out what the hell just happened. This is going to be a long 6 months. ●●● Kaiydeen has always known what she wanted, more like who, but she never knew exactly how to get it. So she's complacent with biding her time until it, actually he, comes to her; no matter how long that takes. But then one day she crashes into someone she doesn't expect. Someone that has always had an eye for her, and he isn't satisfied with biding his time until she's his. But when the one person she's always wanted admits he wants her, too, she's forced to make a choice. Should she go for the boy she just met or the boy she's always known? There is some use of mature language in this story, so if your eyes are innocent and you want them to stay that way this might not be the story for you. Credit to @slueths for the incredible cover!!
