Change.
There is probably not a lot of words that would contest it for being more loved by the people.
It has a nice ring to it. It sounds full of hope. It is often implied as progress, improvement, success.
But what if some people were already happy with the way things are?
When they thought they had everything they could ever ask for?
What if the word is taken by its actual definition? To simply become different?
How is difference any good?
Would change still be desired when things already work the way they are?
Enter the world of an only child of a rich family, Alex. His childhood friend and butler, Joshua. And a third friend from high school with secrets and a past to keep hidden.
In a series of events that would eventually reveal each of their true intentions and feelings towards one another, will things ever stay the same for everyone?

Heirs Of Aurous
❝ They say, who loves first, falls hardest, but what if this story is she fell first, he fell harder. ❞ Truths hurt, lies are a blasphemy in a relationship. But have you ever felt it? When everything feels like they're infinitely stretching your soul and tearing it into tiny pieces of who you once were. For me, my past hides my mistakes, and in my future, she's the only one I see. But do I even deserve her? For me, smiling is no better than a sin. Love seems like a punishment. Falling for someone again feels like a luxury. So why am I getting a second chance? For me, Love always feels like a gut-wrenching feeling, all-consuming and unattainable. But is it really that far? They say hate and love are divided by just a fine line. As they both stand on either side, am I really letting go of the hand I once held dear?

Irresistible
I looked up at the man in front of me. He was HOT. But he was also forbidden fruit. He was Alex's brother for God's sake! My boyfriend's brother, none the less. I shouldn't feel at all attracted to him, but the way he was looking at me right now... This wasn't right. He leaned closer though. I was losing all control right then. He pressed his lips to my jaw and my mind went completely blank, like it always does when he was this close. This was wrong. This was wrong. I knew it, but I couldn't bring myself to find the reason. Then it came to me. Alex. Alex would be angry. Now I seemed like a whore. Another kiss, on my neck this time, and another thought slipped away. This is still wrong... Why though? Think Beatrice! Alex came to mind again. Alex came to mind again. I knew there were more reasons than that, but I couldn't think of them at the moment. He moved his lips again, this time peppering kisses across my collarbone and he stopped at the hollow of my throat. I gasped softly. Now my mind was empty. I wasn't even thinking clearly. The only thought that passed my mind was that I wanted more of this. More of him.Complete

I quickly turned away from him, to get the hell out of the room. But he caught my arm and pulled me back into his chest. Shit. Fuck.

I didn't reply. This is exactly the situation I didn't wanna get into, cause I know I melt when he says shit like that. ❝You gonna give up resisting me now?❞ His lips barely touching my ears.
