Arabella is a 21 year old single mother who is struggling to raise her son Caden on her own.
She's fresh out of a bad relationship with her ex and even though she's lonely, she just wants
to focus on her son and making it without worrying about a man. Cortland is a 23 year old
model who was left an entire ranch when his parents retired to Florida. Keeping up a ranch is 
hard enough for one person especially while managing a modeling career, a side job as a mechanic, and hosting tons of church and community events. Even though there's plenty of girls flocking around him and his friends, he doesn't really pay them any attention because he knows they're just there for his looks and could never handle his lifestyle. One evening at a local rodeo, Caden gets loose from Arabella and chases after a puppy. Cortland manages to catch him and when he reunites mother and son, it becomes the start of a crazy but beautiful relationship that neither one of them knew they wanted. Throw in some wild friends, an angry ex, and some less than friendly horse rustlers and you've got a tangled roller coaster of hearts and hoofbeats!

Ecstasy by xkatherine212
70 parts Complete Mature
Tyson Shelley is a very typical teenager: parties, girls, passionate about his garage band. Except he may have taken it too far. Whenever there's a party he's the first one with a drink in his hand, which would be all right, if he weren't popping pills as well. But what led him to this behavior in the first place? Perhaps it was his broken childhood, disturbed and interrupted by bouts of violence and loss? His missing mother, or his alcoholic father? Whatever it was, it's left him lost and without a purpose beyond getting trashed every Friday and Saturday night. Calla Stevenson however seems the exact opposite. The new girl in town with an average nuclear family and a little sister to be a role model for. She's never had the chance to act out, with the only truly obvious thing setting her apart is her taller than average height and her penchant for retro clothing. But then you look closer. The hairline cracks that have spread their way across her family have widened, and with her parents separating she blames herself for their unhappiness. In a new town, they were meant to start anew. But the change of scenery brings with it its own set of anxieties: a new school, new friends and the persistent daily struggle of dyslexia. Murwillumbah seems a sleepy enough town when Calla and her family moves in. But once she meets Tyson everything changes. She learns less about the cocky, guitar playing James Dean Rebel, and more about the gentle soul he is intent on destroying. Ecstasy is a story about opposites, and is told by two narrators. It reminds us that everyone has their own path but we can all walk in each other's shoes. Warning: this story may contain frequent us e of strong language, sexual scenes, and STRONG drug use. NOTE: I did write this many years ago when I was in like middle school or high school and I'm in college now. So there are errors every now and then. I did republish this recently and try to fix some errors every now and then.

And the next thing I know is that we're no longer yelling. I hadn't even noticed that we went closer and closer to each other until I felt his breath on my lips and his nose nuzzling against mine as he bent to my level, his body towering over mine. I pull him to me and smash my lips onto his and it barely took a second for him to respond to it. ~~~~~ Arabella Jhonson and Daniel Grey unite. How they met each other, you may ask? They met each other because Arabella's cousin and Daniel's father are dating.
