Into the Velvet by help-me-think-of-one

*EDITORS' CHOICE 2021*After falling for her senior year teacher, Louise learns a harsh lesson on what adulthood isn't. Louise has some trauma to unpack. Heartbreak's a bitch, and her first relationship had been anything but normal. Thinking herself mature for her age, her affair with Mr. Cain started swooningly well. Except things ended quite abruptly. It's a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. But who's really at fault for what happened? Who even is Mr. Cain, and what is he hiding? From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering. Every inch of me pulsed with an ache that began from the marrow of my bones. Fate had brought us here. At this crossroads of ours, there were a hundred different choices to make. A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."

Back In time by creammeier

"Well then, there must be a reason why you aren't able to keep your eyes off me in the market today, Miss Wellesley." He whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my back. "Don't flatter yourself," I took a step back, "it's just that you're the first person I think the word 'ugly' stands for." "Deny all you want, sweetheart." He inched closer and leaned into my ear, "but your face says it all." ___________________ Are you aware of how people lived in the 1800s? Well, I for one, do not.

I don't know what possessed me to do my next action, as I closed the inch of distance between our lips. Perhaps it was floating in the air or rushing through my blood, but just this once before the madness ensued I wanted to kiss him. Maybe I shouldn't have let myself give in for a single moment, but I was only human and he was unlike any man I had met in a long time. Our lips pressed together, eyes closed, arms pressed against his chest as he brought me closer. We moved in sync and this feeling made everything melt away. ________________________________________________ In the middle of editing so two of this symbol ~ . means that a chapter is fully edited minus the few grammar mistakes I'm bound to make, if there's only one ~ then it means that chapter is currently being edited so please don't kill me.

Pink Is The Color Of Infatuation by Ophelia_is_Knightly

Alexander Hugh was his grandfather reincarnate except for one thing...he was much more lustful. His quiet, calm demeanor gave those around him the illusion that he was exactly what he seemed. Handsome...harmless but little did they know that beyond his demeanor and his striking good looks was a man filled with carnal expectations, a raging libido and a heart bright as gold. Xael Beckwith was on a mission. A mission she did not agree with but a mission nonetheless. She was a happy, friendly person with eyes that sparkled and an avid love for the sun and all things warm. But when her family runs out of money not only is her home in jeopardy but her families name and reputation as well. When the two collide will love prevail or will they be too different to allow love to reign?

Once Upon an Us by Mummsy75

When her husband of fifteen years confesses to having an affair with a younger woman that spanned nearly two years, Madeline is beyond devasted; not just for her, but for their two young boys, Jasper and Hudson.

But when she encounters an old flame during a design consult, she's taken back to a time where life was once carefree and inhibitions were lost. Finding the courage to face Elijah Gallo, Madeline's awareness of his presence has a rippling effect, leaving her torn between her morals and her desire for a man who introduced her to limitless pleasures. Will Madeline resist and remain faithful to her cheating husband and try to salvage their marriage for the sake of their two boys? Or will she cave into temptation and walk down a path of no return with Elijah, turning her back on everything she's worked for and a family she loves above all else?
