My Obsession #2
There's this silence between us that stretches longer than it should, and it wraps around my chest like a weighted blanket. My throat tightens. I stare at him like I'm trying to memorise the face of someone who shouldn't exist. A dream made real. My lips part before I can stop myself. "Were you sent by my dad to take care of me?" The question hangs in the air, trembling like the last leaf in autumn. Aiden's gaze softens. His lips tug into the gentlest smile I've ever seen. It's the kind of smile that could mend broken wings. "No" he whispers. "I volunteered." The words hit harder than I expect. Like a punch wrapped in silk. I gasp, air leaves me in a rush I can't reclaim. But before I can fully process what he's just said, he takes a step closer. His fingers ghost over my cheek, brushing away a tear I didn't realise had fallen. And then-he kisses me painfully slow. His hand cups the back of my neck, anchoring me to a moment I never want to end. And just when I think it's over, he pulls away just enough to look at me. His thumb traces the damp trail of tears down my cheek. He doesn't say anything. He just leans in again, and kisses them away. One by one. My tears. My pain. My silence. All kissed away by a boy who didn't come to save me because someone sent him. He came because he chose to.Complete
Substitute Wife For The Billionaire.
"Please fuck me," she pleaded, clutching my arm. Her bottom lip was sucked in. Words capable of unleashing beasts within me. I sucked my teeth as I hovered over her, yanking her panties off; no doubt she was dripping wet. I trailed wet kisses down her stomach to her lower abdomen. Rosaline quaked beneath me, her legs shaking just the way I wanted them to. She'd had her turn teasing me. It was my turn now. *** Rosaline Rivera, daughter of a multibillionaire fashion empire, had always been living under the shadow of her perfect sister, Julie, until she died. To make matters worse, her sister's fiancé proposed to her three years after the death of her sister. What happens when Rosa finds out she was just a mere substitute in place of her deceased sister just to save the family's business? Will she be the perfect daughter her parents want her to be and be a submissive wife to Gerald, her late sister's fiancé, who seems not to have gotten over her late sister yet? Out of spite as she decides to make her rules in the marriage, what happens when Rosa finds out the person who had killed her sister in the first place, the person whom she least expected? *** "Fuck, I need to feel you wrapped around me. I need to be inside you, Rosaline." He pulled himself out of my mouth and kissed me. He moved upward until his face was just mere inches away from mine. I moaned at his dirty words, "I need you too. I have...for a while now," I confessed hastily. My entire body felt amazing beneath his touch. It felt like he was the spark I needed to set my whole body on fire.

{ "I'm not letting you go again." He whispered. "Good." I said. "Because I don't think that I would survive it." His hand gripped my jaw again, thumb brushing my cheek. My fingers twisted in his shirt. He tilted his head, deepened the kiss, and sneakily trailed his fingers under my dress and up my thigh. "I want these off." He whispered in my ear, pulling on the waistband of my underwear. "You want to go somewhere else?" I asked, biting my lip playfully. } Alice Sinclaire was on a roll.

Guardians of Freecaster High #1 "That doesn't make any sense. You were the one who left me. You didn't care anymore."

Cross Examined Hearts
Two law students, Isabella Everly and Benneth Ashcroft have hated each other since childhood. Or so they thought. Forced to spend the week together, the verbal battles ignite like never before. Their banter is sharp, heated, and filled with tension. When the walls come down, passion takes over.
Love Me Like We Used To
They were inseparable - until they weren't. Now, they barely speak. Eighteen-year-old Amaria and Elias were childhood best friends. Late-night calls, secret handshakes, inside jokes - they knew each other better than anyone else. That is, until something happened in Year 13 that tore them apart. Whispers. Betrayal. Silence. Amaria is stepping into her first year of university-Year 14-with high hopes, a fresh start, and her best friend Zara by her side. She's ready to focus on her degree, leave the drama of secondary school behind, and grow into herself. But the past isn't done with her yet. Elias, the boy she ghosted after an emotional confession at the end of Year 13, is not only attending the same university-but he's in the same seminar group. What starts as stolen glances and awkward silences quickly reignites into tension, confusion, and the kind of chemistry that never really disappeared. Elias's older brother, Noah, is also on campus-more grounded and protective, offering occasional advice and support, especially when things between Elias and Amaria get messy. As Amaria balances her coursework, complicated emotions, and the realities of adulting, she's forced to reckon with the pain she left behind-and decide whether she's brave enough to stop running from it. Amaria's still guarded, still bruised by everything he didn't say back then. Elias? He acts like nothing happened, but there's guilt hiding behind his easy smile and that same look in his eyes whenever he's near her.
