"I think you just complimented my arse."
I blinked, a blank expression on my face. "What?"
He sauntered over to me arrogantly. "How's my 'ridiculously perfect arse' working for you? Or more importantly, how long have you been staring at it?"
Cassie Winters' life is not a simple one. With her mother suffering from cancer and its effects, her step-father struggling with depression and a large family to take care of, she is not having the best time of her life, nor one of a normal 17 year old. Finn Kensington, on the other hand, comes from a family well stocked on money, connections and academic brilliance. Still, with the pressure he is faced with as an only child, Finn has become somewhat rebellious and difficult to deal with.
In an unlikely event, the two strangers meet and from the off set about with a mutual dislike for each other. The rest of the population knows the reason for these two's hatred for each other, but will they come to find it out for themselves, or will it take something more than just love to push these star-crossed lovers together? I guess you'll just have to read on.
Uploads will probably be a Wednesday or a Thursday, seeing as Fridays are Children of the Elements days.

"Did you know that you just pull me in? I can't stop thinking about you." Kieran's eyes are shut, his head against the back of the couch, while making his confession. I guess he had moved in the few moments I'd been in my own thoughts. "Is that a bad thing? I feel it too." He opens one eye and grins. "No, I don't think so. I just don't know if I'm ready." "Ready?" It's silent for a few moments before I feel his warm, rough palm on my bare thigh. It's like all my senses are ignited when he touches me. All I can feel is his hand, all I can smell is his beautiful manly scent, and all I can see is him in front of me, the rest of the world invisible. "Is it okay that I'm touching you?" I let out a deep breath and lean closer, whispering near his ear. "Is it okay that I want you to touch me more?" Kieran's eyes open, his blazing blues stare into my dark brown ones, a slight growl coming from his throat.

Something More | Discontinued
[ Book 3 in the Something Real series ] "Not your style, Blaine?" He mocked, taking slow steps over to me. "No," I said. Hayden stopped, his knees nudging the edge of the mattress as he looked down at me. "What is your style?" He played along, placing his hands on the bed and leaning in a bit closer than I had initially expected. I took in a deep breath, laying back silently as Hayden brushed the strands of my now shoulder length dirty blonde hair from my chest. His eyes ghosted over me in the most riveting way; I could feel my skin heating up with every flick of his eyes. "I haven't found it yet." I whispered. The right corner of Hayden's mouth curved slightly at my statement. Without warning, he placed a kiss to my cheek that left me longing for something more. "You'll find it," he whispered back. "Give it time." - In Scarlett Blaine's twenty-six years, all she had wanted to do was find love again; and apparently, luck was not on her side.

Baby boy ✔️
"I'm like old enough to be your mum." I say to Jakob not even bothering to hide away how amusing I am finding the idea. "You're only ten months older than me." Jakob shoots back a hint of defence in his tone. Was he offended? "Still." I laugh out. "You could be my baby boy." I smirk sending Jakob a wink. - THIS IS NOT A SEX STORY!!!!! The characters are teenagers! (A/n so the main character starts off as a pretty bad person which is needed because this story is about PERSONALITY GROWTH so if you don't like reading that type of stuff then please don't read this book. It is only for the first 5 chapters and I'm not justifying her actions. She is a b***h) Highest ranking: #2 youngadult #2 teenromance #10 romance Started October 2018 Finished July 2019Complete
