"Kissing James was like kissing a scared rabbit," Jen said.  We were all nervous, inexperienced and clueless once upon a time. This is the story of one young man's journey from a scared rabbit to a confident young man who knows what he wants. 

This novella is my first story. It's a romance and had a slow build up before it gets spicy. I hope you love the characters as much as I do.

While this is not a true story, the first line was the inspiration and did in fact happen. What can I say, I was not smooth with the ladies.All Rights Reserved

What starts with playful pranks turns into late night thoughts, missed chances and a silence that grows too loud to ignore. One misunderstanding changes everything. five years later, they meet again- older, colder and still unfinished. They were something. But can They ever become something again? one misunderstanding. 5 yrs apart. A love that never left.

Love Misunderstood by SophieLeo03

I only ever met one man I'd call truly noble. He was a man who was misunderstood and worthy of the world, yet everyone saw him differently. That was until I saw his true colours. The more I caught his eye the more he noticed me. We would pass each other, I would always stare a little longer at his back, wondering his story. People used to move out of the hallways if they saw him approaching whereas people would come and talk to me. He kept to himself, I was never alone, he had no friends, I was friends with everyone, I never saw him talk to anyone I spoke to many. we were polar opposites. At least that's what I thought until that day in the library, that is where I will start this story. Everyone is different, I hate the word "different", I much prefer the word unique. Unique is the only way to describe him. This is not just a story about love, it is about helping two souls who act differently but are the same on the inside, it shows the messy parts that aren't shown in movies, the tragedy, and the comedy but most of all the sizzling romance between two broken people who became one. Who is this story about? Caden James. But this is not just his story, It is ours.

The Slowest Kind of Love 1: Flirt First, Fall later [EmiBonnie] by mikazuki29__

Flirt, tease, repeat... until they fall. A sapphic slowburn where a shameless flirt meets her match who have a guarded heart. And one kiss that flips their whole world around. Bonnie is bold, flirty, and allergic to subtlety. Emi is calm, composed, and way too good at pretending she doesn't care. Years after a long-buried university crush, they end up working together. What starts as harmless teasing turns into late nights, stolen glances, and one kiss that changes everything. Now neither of them can tell if they're falling apart or falling in love. The first arc in my The Slowest Kind of Love series. The stories are set in the same universe, all about sapphic slowburns, missed chances, and falling in love when you least expect it. 📌✦ Author's Rights Notice ✦ This story is an original work.

THE ASSISTANT EFFECT ✨ by katcoon

Genre: Lesbian Romance | CEO x Assistant | Slow Burn | Office Tension l 9 years Age Gap She runs an empire with ice in her veins. Her new assistant runs on caffeine, chaos, and far too much heart. What happens when sunshine starts to melt steel? Margot Blake is everything the headlines say: cold, brilliant, untouchable. The youngest CEO in luxury branding history, she built Blake & Co. from sheer ambition - and froze out anything resembling a personal life along the way. Enter Chloe Quinn - bright, bubbly, and dangerously persistent. She's not the type of assistant Margot usually hires... or keeps. But something about Chloe's chaotic charm, awkward honesty, and maddening optimism starts to crack the ice Margot has spent years perfecting. They're opposites in every way. One has walls higher than the skyline; the other believes no heart is too frozen to warm. But in a world of power plays, secrets, and boardroom battles, falling for your assistant isn't just reckless - it could ruin everything. Slow burn. High tension. Sharp suits. Stolen glances. And a love neither of them saw coming.

THE KISS by Ruanshii

"When obsession meets possession, which path will she choose? Two men, identical in appearance, yet universes apart in her eyes. One consumes her thoughts, while the other seeks to claim her. Eshley, a strong-willed woman who's built her life on her own terms, finds herself torn between twin flames. Will she follow her heart or will destiny intervene? Dive into 'THE KISS' to uncover the thrilling tale of love, desire, and fate." Eshley, a 26-year-old accomplished lawyer and entrepreneur, had fulfilled her mother's dreams by establishing a finance company to empower women in need. Yet, a lingering memory from her past continued to haunt her - her first kiss. The kiss had been a lifeline, calming her panicked state, but she never saw her rescuer's face. The memory of his gentle touch, soothing fragrance, and the taste of his lips still lingered. Despite achieving professional success, Eshley's personal life remained untouched, her heart still yearning for the mysterious stranger. Driven by a burning desire to find him. However, fate had other plans. After exhausting her search, Eshley met a charming waiter and found herself falling deeply in love. The memories of her first kiss began to fade, replaced by the warmth of her new connection. But, just as she had moved on, destiny brought her past back to her doorstep. The man who had changed her life with a single kiss reappeared, stirring up forgotten emotions and forcing Eshley to confront the choices she had made.

Moonlight Kisses by chxrryskiwis

"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022

My Knight In Leather by AmouraLWright

Completed!! "I think that I might be falling in love with you, which shouldn't be possible since I barely know you and-" The feeling of something soft and warm covered my lips, and it took me a moment to realize that Adrian was kissing me. Dumbfounded, I stared at him with wide unmoving eyes as he gently pulled away. The kiss was short-lived, but it didn't stop the warmth I felt erupting from my chest. My eyes zeroed in on his lips, "... Do that again... " I whispered, leaning in as my eyes fluttered closed, "... please? " His minty breath fanned my face as he let out a heartfelt chuckle, "Gladly... " Gently grabbing my face in both of his large calloused hands he kissed me once more. Ever Monroe was abandoned in the middle of nowhere by her boyfriend and was found by Adrian Wolf, a street racer with a past he doesn't like to talk about. What happens when he lets her stay the night with him? Will they become close or will they go their separate ways without a second thought?

We Sleep at Sunset (Ember 1) by immoralLaurel

His hand shifts under my sweater cuff, sliding up to my forearm. ''Tell me you don't feel it.'' I brush my fingers over his collarbones, just above the worn edge of his shirt. Beneath it, I feel the faint shift of muscle, the stutter in his breathing. He kisses me hot and hard. Like a collapse, His hands slide under my clothes to my neck and my hair where they make fists. My scalp prickles. He lets me taste a future with him, to feel it in the thrust of his tongue and bite of his teeth. I'm panting, and aching, and still, we know this won't change anything. Still, he kisses me bruised. 𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙨 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙨 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙩 BOOK ONE C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ sexual/mature content ❤︎ violence/abuse/trauma ❤︎ flawed characters (and development) Copyright © 2018-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).
