As he stood there looking at the same brown eyes which played a starring role in most of his dreams for the past six years, all he could feel was numbness.
Numbness because he is surprised, befuddled and overwhelmed with the urge to pinch himself or beat someone's ass just to make sure it's real and not another one of his futile dreams.
He felt numb because he didn't know how to express it all at the same time. The most perceptible difference is that she is not the same girl he used to adore from a distance, not the same one who reminded him of winter and dew. Now, she is all grown up and reminds him of a thunderstorm who can shake his world into shattered pieces.
~~~~~~~~
A fate stricken saga of two souls unknown of each other's existence. Yet influencing each other's orbits into a beautiful loop of love and destiny.
Alarik and Raelynn, two opposite poles of the magnet...The Moon and the Earth... The fire and the air... The darkness and the stars. Irrevocable presence in each other's lives yet unknown to the entanglement of their fates.

Perseverance
{18+ COMPLETED} "I don't understand why you won't tolerate the idea when we're both about the same no-strings fun." "Maybe because I just don't like you," I argue. "I don't believe you." Ellis' voice startles me, not just by how low and husky it is, but by the close proximity, his breath fanning over my bare neck. Turning around I inhale sharply at the sight of his pale blue eyes boring into mine, his hands resting on either side of my head against the metal, muscles tensed as he holds himself off of my body. His body is easily double the size of mine, a notion that makes my breath almost stop as he continues to hover there, his face angled down as I trail my eyes over his facial features. Without thinking my lips part, his own mirroring my actions, a sign that he's just as affected by me as I am by him. ---------------------------------------------------- Spin Off. Can be read as a STAND ALONE book... however, it makes more sense if you read The Test of Time first. Becky Gordon has no time for men. Although, she does tolerate some hours with them; non-stop one night stands, one time excursions in the gym locker rooms, swift daytime quickies. She's always been the same, ever since high school. Only once has she ever considered the possibility of something more, but that idea blew up in her face, proving to her that she's better off alone. Yet years later, the very man who made her doubt everything is back, catapulting into her life like never before. He's determined to make things right and won't take no for an answer. She can't deny the things he makes her feel, their similar humor and quick wit, the lust that pulses through her at the mere sight of him. But she's resisted his womanizer ways since high school, and what's really changed since then? Can Becky continue to resist Ellis Wakefield? Or does having a little bit of perseverance really pay off?Complete
Hey, Stranger
From messy crayons in kindergarten to secret jokes in elementary, they were a pair the world couldn't imagine apart. Then high school happened. One day, he stopped talking. No explanation. No goodbye. Just distance. Sharp, confusing, and painful in ways she never learned to name. She tried to understand. He never gave her a reason. And slowly, they became strangers with shared memories. Years later, college brings them back on the same campus - not quite friends, not truly strangers. Different programs, but fate keeps putting them in the same room, the same meetings, the same moments that feel a little too familiar for people who lost each other. She looks at him and remembers everything. He looks at her and pretends he doesn't. But the silence between them still asks the question she once whispered to the universe: Now, surrounded by new lives and old feelings, they must face the truth they ran from - that sometimes the people you lose aren't gone. They're just waiting for the right time to find their way back.Complete

The Ride Home
'You hurt me, And I hurt you. We are forever even.' /// 'So why are you talking to me again?' 'Switch up the scenery,' he replied shortly. I frowned and took a small bite of my ice cream. Only a week ago I was crying in his arms with bruised knuckles at a bus stop. I had decided that would be the last time we would ever even be together. I had thought that it would turn into an embarrassing memory that I would always associate with his name. Yet here we were. He was sitting across from me with tinted lips from stained ice-cream. And this very moment caused me to wonder what more would come from that memory. I was a firm believer in avoiding violence. This is ironic since I was the one who punched a girl. But the more I thought about it and the more I took in Blake's presence sitting across from me, the more I came to the conclusion that maybe something good came from it. And to think, this entire thing was sprouted from one ride home. ~ ~ ~ WARNING: -This book contains profanity -It also has sexual dialogue and very suggested sexual scenes so it may get a lil frisky ~I have already pre-written most of this book so updates should be fairly quickComplete

Stay Where I Can See You (Original)
When her bestie's childhood friend Archer gets caught in a messy breakup that spirals into public drama, Amara is asked to keep an eye on him to keep him out of trouble. What she didn't expect was how quickly he'd start showing up everywhere-uninvited, unfiltered, and under her skin. ****************************************************** Archer had sprawled across her bed without asking, one ankle hooked over the other, fingers absently gripping the sheets like he owned the space. His hair kept falling into his eyes as he grinned at her - too casual for someone who'd just invited himself in. "If you keep looking at me like that, I'm gonna start thinking you like me," he mused, voice low and teasing, eyes flicking over her face as if searching for a crack in her expression. Amara exhaled slowly, the sound deliberate. She shifted in her chair, just enough to show she wasn't rattled, closing a little of the distance without moving closer. "I'm looking at you because you're sitting on my bed," she said flatly. His grin deepened, almost sheepish, a flicker of something vulnerable hiding in it. "Well... you didn't tell me to get out." She tilted her head, eyes narrowing, a quiet challenge behind them. "You didn't ask if you could stay." He leaned back on his hands, the pose lazy but his gaze fixed on her, heavy enough to thicken the air between them. "You'd miss me if I left," he murmured, the words half a whisper-like he was testing the truth of it more than making a joke. She studied him for a long moment, really studied him, as if peeling back the bravado to see what sat underneath. Her eyes softened, but her scrutiny didn't fade. She leaned forward a fraction. "Would you miss you if you left?" ❤️ Each character's boards available on my public pinterest account: https://pinterest.com/elliebcarterbooks
Happy Hour (A Romantic Comedy)
~~~~~ One thing that most definitely hasn't changed is the power of those bright hazel eyes to reduce me to a puddle of mush. And I can't help but think of the last time I was looking into them, right after he kissed me and walked away 15 years ago. Suddenly, all I can think about is how much I want him to kiss me again, and this makes me absolutely furious with myself. ~~~~~~ Em spent her last two years of high school fantasising about Chris. He seemed to hate her, though... except for that one time he kissed her out of nowhere and then disappeared out of her life. 15 years later, Chris is back. And it turns out that, even now they're both in their thirties, she still hasn't quite recovered from her teenage crush. Thrown together unexpectedly, she's either going to have to get over him... or *under* him. But does he feel the same???Complete
