The Art of Almost Loving You
"Some loves are written in the margins. Ours was scribbled between the lines-messy, unspoken, and impossible to erase." Riya Sharma knows how to love-fiercely, foolishly, and with her whole heart. But when her high school crush rejects her, she retreats into the pages of dark romance novels, where love is all-consuming and endings are never simple. Reality, however, is less poetic... until Aarav Malhotra, the boy who once looked at her like she hung the stars, walks back into her life. Cold, brilliant, and ruthlessly logical, Aarav has always been an enigma. In school, he spoke to her in a voice softer than anyone else's, listened to her rants about books like they were sacred texts, and left sketches of her in his notebooks-though she never knew. But when Riya's indirect confession at their farewell party vanished into silence, she assumed he didn't care. Years later, fate intervenes. Riya, now an aspiring army doctor, crosses paths with Aarav-a prodigious engineer-during a high-stakes medical-tech campaign. The boy who built walls around his heart is now a man who builds bridges. The girl who wrote poetry about love now stitches wounds on battlefields. And the electricity between them? It never dimmed. As they navigate tangled pasts and fragile new beginnings, Riya and Aarav must confront the words they never said and the choices that tore them apart. But this time, walking away isn't an option-not when their love story might be the one worth fighting for.

It Wasn't Love ✔️
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape. "You drive me fucking crazy, Aria." ---------------------------- Aria Bailey finds it hard to fit in. Her parents are always busy and never have time for her.
