Kimmy is a small town girl who led an oppressive life since she was born. But despite her sad upbring, she grew up to be extremely talented and ambitious. She was determined to make it in the world of stars but she didn't anticipate all that goes on behind the bright lights. It seems she jumped from the frying pan right into the scorching heat of passion - and with passion came hatred, jealousy and violence. Will she make it out unscathed?



"Maybe you shouldn't make assumptions about people." Nate said his voice going even lower - if that was possible.

Kimmy just shook her head sadly. "Everyone has a price, Nate. Even you."

He gazed at her for a moment then in two huge steps he was in front of her. "But you have a price too." He rasped his deep voice causing tremors in her stomach.

"I don't want anything from anyone." She whispered taking a step back but was surprised to find a wall behind her and it seemed Nate had stepped closer too. It was suddenly difficult to breath and she didn't dare look into his eyes lest her own eyes betray her.

He snaked his arm around her waist and with his free hand,stroked her chin before lifting it gently so she had no choice but to get lost in the depths of those blue eyes. Nate pulled her closer even and her breath hitched when he began to lower his head slowly. It was like time stood still.

As his face came closer, Kimmy's eyes drifted shut and of its own accord, her body arched up and into his as she lifted her lips to meet his.

At the last possible moment, Nate paused and said, 
"I don't think that was entirely true."

By the time Kimmy opened her eyes, Nate had released her and was stepping away from her with a smirk on his devilishly handsome face.

He had made his point.

Please let you continue to behave like a spoiled child without any consequences?" Okay I Stop now. Sufyan sighed, running a hand through his hair in frustration.

He froze for a moment, caught off guard by your unexpected move. His heart raced as he felt your lips against his, and his mind struggled to process what was happening. I remove my lips from him. Sufyan stood there, his mind still reeling from the unexpected kiss. He licked his lips, tasting your kiss still on his mouth. His mind was a whirlwind of emotions - confusion, surprise, and a hint of desire. I lay down again. Sufyan's heart was still racing as he watched you lay down on the bed once more. His mind was still processing the kiss you had just given him out of nowhere. He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself and collect his thoughts. He couldn't shake the feeling of your lips against his. The memory of your kiss lingered on his mind, and he couldn't help but wonder what had possessed you to do such a thing. He stood there, watching you lay on the bed, his mind racing with a hundred different questions. I close my eyes. It was as if you were deliberately trying to make him lose his mind. He watched as you closed your eyes, lying there on the bed, completely indifferent to the effect you were having on him. His heart was still racing, and his thoughts were a whirlwind of confusion and desire. Follow me and please vote 💞

*SLOWLY BEING EDITED* Zane had a special mission to accomplish. No one could find out that he's undercover. No one. But with those hazel eyes and her smart mouth he couldn't stay away from her. She was making him feel things he never knew it was possible. Yet bringing her into his world was dangerous especially because of her sudden connection to his case. Katherine has a baggage full of insecurities and trust issues. She never had an official boyfriend and being 24 that's socially unacceptable. The danger those grey eyes emit should scare her away. He was trouble and she knew that but she couldn't help it. The attraction she feels towards him is scaring her. Is it worth taking the risk? ........ "Can you cook?" "I can" "Good, what about laundry and cleaning?" I nodded. "Fuck Angel, you're like the perfect woman and you still want me to be your friend" He joked and found myself laughing. "Because I am the perfect housewife?" I asked arching an eyebrow. "No, because you are the perfect combination of smart, beautiful, and skillful." I blushed at that and I wanted to look away but one of his hands stopped me and turned my face towards him. "Get used to hearing compliments because you're going to hear them often in the future. Now, about my offer..." He gave me an expectant look. I thought for a while. I still wasn't sure it was a good idea but I liked working at the shop and still wanted to work there for a little while. "Alright, let's do it," I said. "Now? Here? Damn Angel, first the fiancé thing, and now this. For someone inexperienced, you sure move fast" He joked and I laughed. *Warning ⚠️* Strong language, triggering topics such as body shaming, depression...

"We share a fucking bed!" He follows me out of the bathroom, grabbing my wrist when I had turned my back to him. "What's fucking wrong with you now? You threw a bitch fit when you were at the hospital, and now when I compliment you, you're mad at me." "Maybe you shouldn't give compliments with the hope of getting me on your dick!" I snatch my wrist back, turning around to face him, but I smacked into his chest. He took that as an opportunity to grab both of my arms and hold them together behind me. "If I wasn't raised better, I'd spit on you." "And if I wasn't raised better, I'd kick your motherfucking teeth out," he gritted, shaking me when I struggled in his hold. "Would you stop!" He raised his voice, causing my insides to quiver, and my limbs stopped moving. "What is your problem?" "I'm not one of them," I spit angrily, "You can't make me look stupid before charming me. If you think you have to force yourself to compliment me in order for me to spread my legs, then you don't know me," I breathed harshly, my chest brushing against his body, and momentarily, his eyes flickered downward. "I'm offended. You think I'm trying to 'charm' you," he uses air quotations before slamming me against the wall right next to the bed, "When all I have to do is wink to get you to flood your underwear." "I'd like to see you try." I grind out, causing him to smirk at me. A different one this time. One that unsettled me. His lips curved up nicely, yes, but his eyes weren't sparkling with mischief. He didn't seem too happy with me calling him out the way I did. "Bet," he inhaled sharply before backing away from me, his smirk lifting higher, and it morphed into a beautiful smile. "See you at practice, bitch." Carson 'Storm' Speros and Raine Carter have a long way to go, battling through the abnormalities of their unique college and the tough time sharing a baseball team. Will Raine start to see the light in Carson and accept him? We'll see.

She knew his identity. He didn't know hers. She just wanted to have him around. He didn't. She knew they could not be together. He didn't. She didn't plan for longer. But he did. What will happen when he comes to know her real identity? Will he be able to stop himself in time from falling or will she have to face his wrath for hiding the truth. __________ "Do you believe in love?" He whispered in her ears making her jump. He was close, no, too close. She could feel his breath and hear her heart beat pounding very fastly. She took a few steps back to get her personal space secured. "You scared me." "Sorry, that was unintentional and I did not know that you are that weak." He smirked at her. "I am not weak.. That..." she saw him taking a step towards her. She gulped and then continued. ".. is a..." Another step. ".. normal.." One more step closer. ".. reaction." Another step. By now, he was again within her personal space. "I think we should go and see if Natey is done with her books." She whispered and laughed nervously and turned back only to be hold and pulled back to a hard chest. He had purposely swirled her along with him, changing their position. His front was dangerously touching her back. "It's a weak who always run away showing back." He whispered in her ears, his breaths touching her neck. His hands were placed just below her breast and touching most of her abs part. ___________________________________________________________________________ This is my first attempt at writing.

"In a world of shadows, she hid her true self, while he buried his emotions deep within. They were both running from the truth, yet unknowingly running toward each other." <No one notices your pain until it turns into anger, and then you're the bad person> __________________________________________________________________________ *SCENE* A mischievous smirk plays on his lips as he strides towards me, his eyes glinting with a mix of challenge and desire. As he approaches, the crowd around us begins to quiet, sensing the tension in the air. I stood my ground, my posture stiffening as i noticed his intent. With a sly grin, he invades my personal space, towering over me, using his presence to unsettle me. "I see how much of a 'pick me' you are, let me fulfill your desire then" His voice drips with mockery and seduction as he taunts me, playing up the scene for the onlookers. Without warning, he leans in closer, his hand brushing against my waist in a bold, provocative gesture, trying to 'God knows what to do?' in front of the gathered students. The crowd murmurs, some watching with bated breath, others with amused curiosity. But before he can take it any further, my eyes flash with resolve. In one swift motion, I bring my fist up and lands a solid punch on his nose. "Argh" The impact is immediate-a sickening crunch followed by him staggering back, clutching his nose in shock and pain. Blood trickles down his face, and the hallway erupts into gasps and whispers. My gaze fierce as i glared at him, voice steady and cold. "Don't you dare try that ever again," i warned, turning on my heel and walking away, leaving to nurse his bruised pride and bloodied nose, while everyone watches in stunned silence, the tables turned in a way no one had expected. "You'll pay for this" I heard his fading voice, while walking away from everyone, a smirk formed on my face thinking 'well! I do have lots of money'. [Not edited]

I shout nearly falling. He catches me as soon as I fall. "Ms. I call for no trouble-" "Are you always this huge?" I said interrupting him. He guffaws for a moment then he replies. "Ma'am I am always this huge. But could you stop drooling on me?" We both looked down and that wasn't drool. I accidently peed on his shoes. My face turned a faint pink. He didn't look so amused by the action though. "What the hell woman?! You just ruined my-" Lexy hurries over seeing I am in trouble. Her eyes dart to me angrily. After it seemed like hours of her staring at me she gives the buff guy a puppy eyed look. "Sir I am so sorry. My sister is just well as we can both see very drunk." He looks at her with annoyance in his eyes. "Well no fucking kidding." He says then he storms off to somewhere. Lexy gives me a 'I am going to kill you' look. "Kay how on earth do you manage to pee on someone without knowing- you know what never mind don't answer that question." She says with a very irritated expression on her face. We turn to leave but the buff man is back this time he looks more pissed than before. "I will send you the bill." He says as he gives Lexy a paper. But my stomach was turning and I felt like crap at this moment. I was too dizzy to see what they were doing at this point. My eye sight faded to black and I fell into a deep sleep."
