Missed Connection: I saw you standing there, and I was struck by your eyes. Gorgeous, but not as gorgeous as your smile.

What should have been a sizzling NYC summer has been hijacked by demanding bosses. To cope, I spend my nights cruising Missed Connections, dreaming of finding an uber-romantic entry all about me. Of course, the moment I finally find that Missed Connection, real life comes crashing down in a night of unbridled passion with totally off-limits Jack.

Best. Hookup. Ever.

Gorgeous and wealthy, hot as sin, Jack can give me everything I need-except an emotional connection. That I get from my Missed Connection, the romantic stranger who never fails to make me swoon. But there's only so much of me to go around. Torn between the bad boy I can't keep and the sensitive stranger who bares his soul online, my heart and body are caught in two very different relationships...or are they?All Rights Reserved

The Corner Store by The_Outkast

I fell for a boy with the kindest blue eyes, and a charming dimple. He made me feel loved, and cared for, and most importantly he made me feel safe in his presence. He came right in the middle of a tornadoe and managed to turn it into blue skies. He changed my perspective and gave me hope and strength." I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you. But then your perverted cousin made me feel super uncomfortable, so I went looking for you, just to be able to feel at peace again. And that's when I saw it." My heart beats skyrocketed, because this was the moment everything changed forever. "Saw what?" Asked Axel. I took a deep breath, and continued. It's now or never. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Sophia Grace is a 25 year old Forensic Science major who recently started working as a cashier at her local grocery store - "The Corner Store".

What About Us? by creatistx

I finally looked up at him and laughed. As soon as our gazes locked I think I was going melt by the intensity in his eyes. "Just promise one thing, neonata." Dylan leaned his forehead against mine. "You and I until the end." I nodded my head and smiled at him. "Me and you." Dylan raised his head and kissed my forehead. I rested my head back on his shoulder. Me and Dylan. *** Autumn O'Ryan is quiet. Very quiet. She just sits and watches everything that goes on around her. So, she certainly doesn't miss when badass Dylan Sawyer arrives on campus. He is also very attentive and Autumn notices this right away, of course. The two of them immediately cross paths, resulting in a strange yet comfortable relationship that can't be broken. I mean opposites attract....or so they say. When Autumn's feelings for Dylan take an unexpected turn, she slowly accepts the fact that she is falling for him. And she's falling fast. Unfortunately, Dylan doesn't feel the same way. He has his eyes set on Alexis Anderson. Dylan and Autumn go on and learn so many things about each other, letting each other in, becoming closer and closer. From family issues, obsessions, and...anger issues? Follow Autumn and Dylan as they realize even the most attentive people can be oblivious to anything.

Would Jai ever get over or will fall in the void deeper and alone. This is how it feels to love your best friend. TW: includes smut, smoking and very poorly written ( &so many grammatical mistakes so feel free to correct and teach me ).

TAMARA | COMPLETED by TaniaDlamin

"Stop lying you don't care about me." I was about to cry. Fuck these bloody tears. "I need to go" I was about to go but he grabbed my arm. "DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME OR YOU'RE DEAD" he still didn't let me go. I shook my arm to break free but he had more strength than me. "Why are you angry at me right now Tamara? Are you angry I met you? Who am I? God? I freaking plan on who I'll meet and like each day? Is that it?" He was looking at me closely now making me face him. I could even feel his breath on my face..................... Love isn't something Tamara is used to. She doesn't know how to express it or even how to handle it. Her whole life she's been used to hate and hurt, the only emotions she knew how to express so well were anger and hate. Will meeting Darin, a rich cute college boy, worsen her or finally teach her how to love? Is she even the only one with issues? Find out when you read!!!!!

3.1 | What we Fake by Evelynfrost23

❝I was crazy in love, and love makes you do crazy things.❞ "So, does that mean if I-if I kissed you tonight, you wouldn't feel a thing?" Emily barely reacted, focused on trimming her nails, but his question jolted her enough that she almost nicked herself. Without looking up, she replied, "No." Then, with a sharp breath and a smile, she met his eyes. "Absolutely not." ~*~ Liam Wyatt never had the life of an ordinary boy. Between his absent parents, a wildly popular twin, and an even more famous best friend, he always felt like the one who had to keep everything in order-even when nothing was. But despite all of that, he loved his life for what it was, imperfections and all. There was just one thing he wished he could change: the way his heart raced every time he saw Emily, his best friend, look at her girlfriend. He wished, late at night when no one was around to notice, that she would one day look at him that way. But Liam wasn't selfish-her happiness always came first, even if it meant pushing his own feelings aside. What We Fake explores the tender and raw complexities of unrequited love, self-identity, and the things we hide from the world-and from ourselves. In a world where we think we know ourselves best, sometimes, we're the ones wearing the best disguise.

Extra Credit by Xmintflake

"Why do you always avoid my questions?" "I'm not, it's just that there's nothing to say. Who would ever want to date someone they can't even talk to? It's not rocket science. My eyes are weird, and people get tired of me eventually. There's your one-page essay. Now please don't snow me to death .-." "What? All that you just said is a lie. And I should snow you to death for even saying that! I would definitely date you." "...Thanks." 🍒｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡🍓｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡ Dallas Addison had it all; being a talented swimmer and dating the star of the football team, she didn't think she lacked anything in any capacity. Sure, she and her boyfriend had minuscule issues, but which logical relationship didn't have their occasional ups and downs? After landing in Extra Credit class due to a series of mishaps with her grades and attendance, Dallas's turmoil became despair when she became paired with one of the most eccentric people in the entire class. Seriously. Who wore sunglasses to school, much less indoors? When weeks turned into months of working together, series of back-and-forth message threads started to hit closer and closer to home. Suddenly, Dallas realized that maybe her life wasn't as idyllic as she was previously led to believe. || Completed 2023 ✔️ || ©ReeseTory2022

Mr. Vincenzo | 18+ by inkedofstars

When my dad told me his best friend was finally returning back to his hometown, I expected him to be someone who got me bored with a word, not the one who got me wet with a look. I expected him to be someone I would rather ignore, not the one whose fantasies I pleasured myself to. I expected him to be an addition to my dad's drinking group, not the one I'd prefer to eat me out. I expected him to be someone my dad went out with, not the one who brought home my college bestie. I expected him to be more or less an uncle, never my hottest-ever one-night stand.

What starts as a forbidden attraction spirals into nights of rough, reckless passion, whispered moans, and a dangerous addiction neither of them can quit. The deeper they fall, the harder it gets to hide their secret. Can Meena keep control when Ravi is willing to risk everything for her? Can they escape the consequences of a love they were never meant to have? 🔥 Some desires are too strong to resist. Will you dare to step inside her classroom? 🔥

Only One I Call Home by _AnythingButOrdinary

I had to admit, he was cute. His eyes sparkled nervously and his lips were a lovely shade of natural red. He had his arms crossed over his chest, a gesture that could possibly get him knocked out in this place. He looked as though he could fake a tough guy but at heart he was gentle. I had good instincts and they were screaming to steer clear of this guy. Why? Because he would break my heart. Why is that all the best relationships happen at the strangest of times? Laurel meets Trey inside of a Juvenile Detention Centre and the two of them become closer than anything. For Laurel, Trey was the first friend in her life. But for Trey, he intended for Laurel to be his last. Trey is heartbroken when Laurel leaves the Centre and moves away from town, never to see him again. Laurel has runaway from her foster parents, changed her name and even the colour of her hair. She's created a whole new persona for herself and never wants to revisit the past, but what happens when the most unlikely thing happens? What happens when Trey moves in just around the corner?
