Excerpt:
""Hey, you're James, right?" she smiled at him. She oversaw registration of the Blood Drive her student org was hosting, and he happened to be registering to donate blood.
"Yes. Congratulations on your offer, really exciting stuff, Leila. Am I good to go?" he stated, almost toneless. She could barely make it out, but she could've sworn that it was there-the hint of disdain and resentment. Was he upset that she had gotten the internship and he hadn't? I mean, he ended up getting full-time, so what was there to be upset about? It worked out for him in the end, she reasoned.
"Ooh, who is that?" Christine, the Vice President of the student org, wiggled her eyebrows at Leila.
Leila laughed, "Trust me, it's not like that. We're just going to be working at the same firm."
"Is that why he's been practically gawking at you since he got here? Don't look though!" Christine looked behind her, undoubtedly, to see if he was still looking in their direction. One thing Leila- and potentially the entire human population- had trouble doing was complying when someone told them not to look behind them. And so, she turned her back to look in his direction. With that, she saw James rapidly face away, practically snapping his neck in the process. She dismissed it as him memorizing his target's face so that he could conjure it up in his mind whenever he practiced archery in his free time. Men with fragile egos could never handle a woman succeeding in their stead, could they?"

Little does she know, it turns out to be much more permanent than she had originally thought. After meeting tall, sexy, and mysterious Marcello Pietro, Brimmy finds herself having to make a life-changing decision and putting herself in a dangerous position she'd never imagined to be in. °•°●°•°●°•°●°•° "I love you." He says with no hesitation. It takes a moment for my hazy mind to catch up. I'm still in a daze, mesmerized by his perfections, and the deep dimple set in his cheek. I blink, "What?" "Don't make me say it again." He says, sounding frustrated, but I catch the hint of embarassment in his voice as he runs his hand through his hair and takes a step back. I grab a hold of the neckline to his shirt and yank him back within close proximity of me. "What if I want you to say it again?" I ask, studying his eyes. "Isn't it enough that I said it once?" He scowls, trying to pull back, but I restrain him from doing so. "Nope. Just say it one more time and I'll be satisfied." I state bravely, feeling a boost of confidence I didn't have earlier. He glances down, then looks back up into my eyes, allowing me to spot the vulnerability and uncertainty he feels. "I love you." He says, putting more strength in his voice than he looks to have. I grin, pulling him in for a kiss, but right before I do, I say the one phrase that will seal my fate, "I love you too, big, bad mafia boss." ••••• The story may be rough but the comment section makes up for it. ••••• Word count: 51,173 ••••• Written and published 2018-2019Complete
Alpha Mason
You want me to reject you?" He asked confusion flashing through his eyes. I moved away from him sitting on the bed. Acting nice doesn't fit him and its really weird for me. "You're pulling this on me now?" He still was confused. "You always talk about my mate rejecting me right?" I paused letting it sink in. "Well, fate made you privileged to do it. Just exactly the way you fantasized" I concluded laying on the bed. He sighed sitting on my reading table. "I don't like you no doubt but I'm not rejecting you. And watch that mouth I'm still in authority." He commanded but I kept my eyes close loving his scent and ignoring his personality. "No one should know we are mates, yet. Things remain how they are and running from me?,really" I sat up looking at him. I wished he was always this nice at least. ------------------------ Lucy a white werewolf and an omega gets mated to the one guy she has a crush on who doesn't even have any kind of emotion towards her.

Let Me Be
My back hit the table, signaling there was no where else to run. "I want you" he whispered huskily right by my ear, as he held me in place. "I want you so badly" he said softly and throatily as he gripped the back of my thighs, making room for himself in between my legs, and making me sit on the table. "That I don't care if you say no" he said huskily while rubbing his nose and lips on the side of my neck, making me gasp in fear, surprise, and the worst emotion of them all-lust. He grazed his lips on the side of my neck once more until it settled on the crook.

~My Teacher Hits Me~ (Book 1) [Rewritten]
~~~~~ "C'mon, cupcake. Why are you always trying to avoid me? All you're doing is delaying the inevitable." "And what's that?" Rylan spits, annoyed. He brushes her hair gently behind her ear. Rylan flinches when Blake's hand makes contact with her skin. "I enjoy taking what I can't have, especially when it's a challenge. I want what I want. And you...are something I desperately want." ~~~~~ "Do you think you're special, Rylan? Are you really so stupid that you think you're better than me--that you have a say in what goes on in my classroom?" Mr. Quinn asks in a deep, menacing voice. He glares at Rylan and digs his fingers into the skin on her forearms. "You don't. You. are. nothing. So you better get that through your thick, little skull." Mr. Quinn presses his face closer to Rylan's so she has to turn her head to escape his hot breath. He lets go of her left arm and grabs her chin roughly, forcing her to look at him. "I. abhor. you. And all students like you. I'm in the position of power here. You'd do well to remember that." ~~~~~ If Rylan had it her way, she'd be going to school, hanging out with her friends in her free time, and returning home every day to two loving parents and the safety of her home. But if life has taught her anything, it's that you rarely ever get to have things your way. Her school life is quickly becoming a nightmare. Her English teacher is emotionally unstable under the professional front he puts up and Rylan has managed to catch the eye of the resident "bad boy" and his cronies, which doesn't seem to be boding well for her. Rylan can't even count on her house to be a safe haven anymore--not while her nightmares can penetrate walls. It's not just her happiness that's at stake here. It's her life. But can she stand up to the people who scare her most, or will she end up just another statistic? --------- © 2015 Miranda JKComplete
