Friends don't kiss like that.
What do they know?
But later that night, when it was just the two of us again, his lips pressed against mine with something softer, something hesitant - like even he wasn't sure anymore.
And maybe, deep down, I wasn't either.

More Than That
"Rule number two - no kissing," Sage said. Fred opened his mouth with an incredulous look to retort but she continued before he could speak. "Or at least not without a purpose." Fred processed the information for a moment but then grinned his typical, Cheshire-cat grin. A mischievous look took over his eyes and he scooted even closer to her on the bed until their bodies were pressed together. "A purpose, hmm?" he asked directly into her ear with a low voice, sending shivers up and down her spine. "So if I kiss you it means it's going to lead somewhere?". He then brought his lips to her neck and started to softly press kisses upwards until he neared her mouth, his hand starting to wander up her bare leg. "No, Fred," she said breathlessly and pushed her off of him once she finally regained her senses. "At least wait until we set the ground rules." ~~~~~~~~ Sage had always had a somewhat odd relationship with her best friend's older brother Fred. They were good friends, yet they hated each other at the same time. Fred was always picking on Sage; always playing pranks on her and teasing her every chance he got. She absolutely hated it. When they took their built-up tension and passion and used it for something better -- somehow striking up a 'friends with benefits' arrangement -- will it all work out? Will they be able to release their pent-up hatred (and deeply rooted attraction) for each other and maintain their friendship, or will their feelings get in the way?Complete
Orizon Stars
" I don't know how to kiss.." I whispered and avoided his intense stares. "This is my first time.." With a groan Parker cupped my face, his forehead meets mine. His eyes were shut but mine were not. I indulge with the delicate aftershave scent and the beauty of him. His voice was deep, as he spoke, "Then let me teach you how to kiss." ~ A woman. Kind of old school type but not that much. A man. Kind of bad guy type but not that much. When old meets bad, both their universe exploded scattering pieces of each other around their sky like stars. Orizon stars. Which didn't exist but you believe it did for no reason. Because love doesn't find reasons.Complete
The Bet. The Fall. The Ruin | 18+ | MR x OC
I should've known it was too good to be real. The way he touched me. The way he looked at me like I was more than just another girl in the hallway. Mattheo Riddle doesn't fall. He plays. He wins. He walks away. And I-I was just part of a bet. I didn't scream. I didn't cry. I just stopped showing up. Because if he could lie with his hands and kiss me with his mouth full of secrets- Then I could leave without a word. And now we're back, on the same train, heading toward the same castle. But everything between us is gone. And the worst part? I still look for him.

When Sebastian heard about the arrival of the new fifth-year, he hadn't paid it much mind. So if you told him that she would soon best him in a duel, cure his sister of her curse, and completely and utterly steal his heart-well, he wouldn't have believed you, quite frankly But, here he is.Complete
A study in Reverence (Theodore Nott)
Their love story isn't loud. It's carved in margins. Whispered in rune translations. Found in the crooks of elbows, in the lingering silence before a hand is pulled away. "They will hook me up to a polygraph and ask me if I love you, and I will say no but the needle will jump and sputter exactly how you laugh." This is a story about what comes after ruin. About the holiness of being seen.Complete
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
