"So, you're saying that I don't affect you at all?" he asks, his tone disbelieving.

"That's exactly what I'm saying." I tell him, crossing my arms and looking up at him defiantly. "And you need to admit that you just can't come to terms with the fact that I see what you really are: an arrogant pretty-boy with an ego the size of Australia."

He laughs, not seeming perturbed by my comment. "So you think I'm handsome?"

I glare at him. Damn it, I really walked right into that one. I can't lie; he's unfairly attractive, and he knows it - which is one of the reasons I can't stand him.

He steps towards me, closing the distance between us so that we're practically touching. I resist the urge to take a step back, because I don't want to show any sign of weakness. I keep my eyes locked on his, my pulse speeding up at our proximity.

"I really don't affect you at all?" he says, more quietly, his voice slightly husky.

I shake my head slowly, ignoring my racing heartbeat. The fact that we're millimetres apart and yet not touching at all is driving me insane. Part of me wants to put as much distance between us as possible, but I also really want to just grab him and get rid of any space between our bodies.

"I don't believe you." he whispers, and we're so close that his breath caresses my lips. I exhale sharply, unable to stop myself, and something in his expression seems to snap as he pulls me hard against him and presses his lips to mine.

✦✦✦

Liv's life is turned upside down when she and her mother move in with Jack, her mom's boyfriend, and Miles, his seventeen year old son. Arrogant, cocky, but devilishly attractive, Liv tries to deal with living with the guy she hates, but is undeniably attracted to.

I feel the breath of air on the back of my neck. My limbs freeze and my breath catches in my throat. The male hands grab me by the hips. I can't move. His lips are by my ear, grazing the skin, his teeth tugging on my earlobe. His breath is hot on my skin, his lips moving down to my neck. My head tilts slightly. I shake my head. He doesn't have a weapon, I do. I turn in his grip, raising my bat. He catches the swing with one hand. He doesn't even flinch. "I wouldn't do that baby." His voice is like velvet, filling up the room. His lips are back on my neck, his tongue trails over the skin. The voice, the lips, are familiar. "You might mess up my pretty face." "Pretty face, my ass." I let the bat drop to the floor in-between the two of us. I should've known. "What are you doing here?" "Besides scaring you shitless?" "You didn't-" "Don't lie, I saw what you did to those poor hangers." *** It's a game of cat and dog. A game that's lasted four years. A game that expires in three short months. It's a battle of wits, of sarcasm, of teasing one liners, of sloppy kisses that may lead to more but nothing passed physical. It's a game with no rules. And they seem to be breaking them all. Thea Shaw and Ethan Michaels have a complicated relationship. One that neither wants to come to an end. But with college nearing and feelings developing what will come of their little game? He promises her one last summer of underage fun; parties, sunsets, long talks, sweet kisses, and no talk of college until it's time to leave. There are only two ways this summer can end. Either in each other's arms or the breaking of their hearts. #4 in New Adult [COMPLETED]

I felt her stiffening up, and as I felt she will reveal, instead she smirked as she whispered in my ear, "You don't want to do something Aiden, which you might regret later!"

Would these two completely independent people, go past their hatred for each other and depend on that one chance brought to them? *** "I just got started. Wait and watch how I ruin your entire existence." He narrows his eyes at me, challenging me to come at him. "Are you sure you didn't just walk into the wall when you were young? You seem to have had your head hit pretty bad considering the consequential brain cells loss." I say while crossing my arms over my chest to get my point across. "Take care of those heavy words, blondie. You might just have to pay for them." That seemed to anger him so I smirked even more, despite him calling me blondie. Trust me, I've got that a lot. "It's okay, I anyways don't deal with cheap stuff like you." I throw him the most sarcastic smile I could ever muster. Told you it's a love-hate relationship.

"I knew if I wanted a relationship, I should find someone else. But I didn't want anyone else and I still don't." I managed to take his arm from around my waist without waking him up. Sighing with relief I was about to move closer to the edge of the bed but he grabbed me again, muttering something in his half asleep state. I tried to release his grip again but he woke up, grinning as soon as he seen me. His sleepy blue eyes looked at me. "Where are you going?" his grin widened. "I have to go." I whispered quietly, looking around the room. I really did have to go, I was supposed to be staying away from him wasn't I? The sun hadn't come up yet, it was still in the early hours of the morning.

A story where people happen upon a friendship that can flourish into a budding romance if only.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He smiled that sickly innocent and genuine smile again. He was about to say something but I cut him off. "And if you so much as make my friend cry, I'll give you a black eye myself. Don't even think about breaking her heart... you will be a dead man." With that I got up. A dramatic exit was in order to show him just how serious I was. But hey! It's me. I don't get what I wish for and I ended up tripping on the carpet end, just as I was about to get to the door. So much for that. And just like the last time I fell, my face didn't get to keep its appointment with the floor. His arm was wrapped around my stomach and he pulled me hard against his chest. So hard that I managed to hit him and we ended up falling on the sofa together. Now isn't that a nice and compromising position you got yourself in? This can't get any worse. I tried getting up but I just ended up turning into him and found my face inches from his. He looked at me. He looked good and my hormones decided it was time to end a dry spell and started dancing about inside me. Wrong timing muthafvckers. Of course they didn't listen. I found myself wanting to kiss him. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sia Williams never expected anything out of the ordinary from life. A student with her gang just living life as it comes without any drama. But all of that changes when she meets Lorenzo Carter and Skye Addison. The new additions to her life bring drama, adventure and romance... and the best part of all, they make her boring love life not so boring anymore. But not all romances end how you expect them to.
