Sometimes the best love stories begin with,
"Who the fuck are you?"
***
Lyra Donovan has been through enough hell and then some; so she enjoys the more predictable things in life. A good cup of coffee, sunsets and the fact that she hates math. Love is something to be read about, watched from afar and another thing that will disappoint her.
Aiden Romanov was born to hell and brings it along wherever he goes. He likes his tea and playing dirty to win. For him, love is of little importance, it happened to others but it has, thankfully, avoided him. He is also really good with numbers.
So obviously, they meet.

Don't Pull Me In (bxb)
When you hate someone, you ignore them, hate them quietly and build up reasons to stack that hatred. What happens when they shove a way into your life? They highlight your problems, the things that are breaking you and you can't do anything about it. What happens when that person is the only person that cares enough to reach out, to help you, to show you that they care? When they pull you in, you push away.. right? Right? ~ Otis Kaifer is doing great! He's got a sports scholarship, he's the co-captain of the soccer team in college. He has a loving girlfriend who loves him and a best friend who would die for him. But with life, somethings wrong. Rumours are floating about, people are talking and Otis refuses to confront it, he can't, his perfect life that he strives for would be broken. He just can't. So, Chase Sorinas doesn't really care about Otis' whole thing. If anything, the only connection that they both share if that Otis is dating Darcy Glossm, and her twin sister: Lexi Glossm is Chase's best friend and maybe they have a friends with benefits thing going on. Too many names, too many connections and Chase.. shouldn't care. But seeing someone trying to put their life back together with used tape with crumbs on the sticky side.. yeah it made him feel bad. And if Lexi is so adamant about helping.. maybe he could move the walls around a bit and see where they go. It wouldn't hurt to try right? To pull someone in, to learn a new way to love, even if it hurts. Even if you have to wait. Maybe it's worth it. ~ (WARNING: This story contains: sexual language, sexual activities, underage drinking, substance misuse and possibly much more. Read at your own risk.)
