He was supposed to be just a fling.
Just six months of sneaking around, stolen touches, and silence in public.
But when Ben shows up at the first party of the summer looking as hot and unreadable as ever - all muscle, mystery, and that same damn smirk - Allie realizes this story isn't over.
Not even close.
He says he doesn't care.
But his eyes tell another story.
And when his hands are on her, they say everything he refuses to admit.
Now she's caught between the need to move on and the undeniable tension pulling her back in - harder, deeper, and hotter than ever.
But Ben's hiding something.
Something that could wreck everything.
And the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes to love him.
⸻
Enemies with chemistry
Mysterious, emotionally unavailable love interest
Smut, banter, and so much tension you'll scream
A past that won't stay buried
This isn't love.
It's a game.
And neither of them are ready to lose.

However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy.

After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college.

Worth the Risk
August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))Complete

My Obsession #2
There's this silence between us that stretches longer than it should, and it wraps around my chest like a weighted blanket. My throat tightens. I stare at him like I'm trying to memorise the face of someone who shouldn't exist. A dream made real. My lips part before I can stop myself. "Were you sent by my dad to take care of me?" The question hangs in the air, trembling like the last leaf in autumn. Aiden's gaze softens. His lips tug into the gentlest smile I've ever seen. It's the kind of smile that could mend broken wings. "No" he whispers. "I volunteered." The words hit harder than I expect. Like a punch wrapped in silk. I gasp, air leaves me in a rush I can't reclaim. But before I can fully process what he's just said, he takes a step closer. His fingers ghost over my cheek, brushing away a tear I didn't realise had fallen. And then-he kisses me painfully slow. His hand cups the back of my neck, anchoring me to a moment I never want to end. And just when I think it's over, he pulls away just enough to look at me. His thumb traces the damp trail of tears down my cheek. He doesn't say anything. He just leans in again, and kisses them away. One by one. My tears. My pain. My silence. All kissed away by a boy who didn't come to save me because someone sent him. He came because he chose to.Complete
Fascinated by Him
Faythe was used to being the shy one, the quiet girl. She only bothered to go to parties when her best friends dragged her there. She preferred to stay home, read a book, and get lost in it. Spending most of her time with her brother, the girls, or some of Ben's friends. At least, that's what she always did. until she takes notice of her brother's best friend, Lucas. He's everything she's not. He's obnoxious, sinfully hot, and a bit of a player when it comes to the girls. I guess that all comes with being the quarterback for her schools' football team. There more she was around, Luke, the more she started to take notice of the little things when it came to him. Something about him fascinated her. She always figured he was just a womanizing player who never gave a crap about anyone. There was just something about him that drew her in. Maybe... it was his beautiful green eyes, or maybe it was something she could see in him that she could see in herself. But in the end, it doesn't matter... she couldn't let herself fall for her brother's best friend. Or could she? -- A/N -- It starts off a little slow, but I swear it gets better. Also, there is some swearing and mature content. I would advise younger readers to take note of this. You have been warned! Enjoy! -- Reached #67 in Teen Fiction!
