blackpeople dangerous hoodlove innocent killer

Lunden had always been the picture of innocence-bright-eyed, soft-spoken, and the kind of girl whose report cards never carried less than an A. She lived in her own quiet world, untouched by trouble, believing the best in people and keeping her heart guarded. Then she met D-Low. He was everything she'd been warned about-rude, ruthless, and feared by almost everyone who crossed his path. Yet, there was something magnetic about him. His brown skin seemed to glow in the light, his dimples cutting deep when he smiled-though he rarely did. Diamond grills glimmered when he spoke, a flash of dangerous charm behind every word, and his long dreads framed his sharp, confident face. He was the storm to her sunshine, the chaos to her calm. And somehow, when their worlds collided, neither one would ever be the same.

She Blushes, I Bite: A Lost Boys Fanfiction

She Blushes, I Bite: A Lost Boys Fanfiction. FINISHED AND COMPLEATED. This is book 2 of Looks Can Be Deceiving. If you haven't read the first book, I recommend starting with it to avoid confusion. It's published and completed on my account, but feel free to read this one first if you prefer. In Santa Carla, monsters don't hide beneath beds. They wear mesh and white leather and flirt like it's foreplay. Paul is the kind of nightmare you don't wake up from - tall, bleach-blond, swagger laced with sin. His clothes shouldn't work, but they do. His jokes shouldn't land, but they sting. He smells like trouble and tastes like it too. There's blood on his breath, humor in his cruelty, and a slow-burning hunger stitched into every sideways grin. He's immortal. Predatory. And completely uninterested in rules. Nina's everything he's not. Mortal. Fragile. Wrapped in oversized sleeves and jittery breath. Her hoodie's her shell. Her glasses slide down her nose as she tries to disappear between apologies. She stutters through sentences and flinches at compliments - soft, sweet, and utterly human in a city that isn't. She doesn't know what Paul is. He knows exactly what she is - prey with potential. He jokes about murder. She laughs, half-confused. He bites with words. She blushes like it might be affection. She's afraid of everything. He's only afraid he might ruin her too fast. Their chemistry is cruel - opposites igniting across damp boardwalks and flickering neon. She tries to walk faster. He keeps catching up. And somewhere between the blushes and the smirks, a game begins. She's not meant for his world. But she keeps choosing his orbit. And he's starting to like how her heartbeat sounds when she's scared.
