His lips cupped mine, and a swell of warmth unfurled in my heart. It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him.

He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips.

"Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave.

With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips.

He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest.

At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it.

If this is how being kissed feels like, then fuck, I've wasted a lot of time.

Worth the Risk

August & Colin | WRU series | book 1

We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control.

I took a risk. I paid the price.
I made a mistake. I felt the guilt.
I lied. I lie.
I loved. I try not to.
I hurt. I still do.
I lost control. I'm losing again.
I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life.

But one domino fell and the rest just followed.

"We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us.

"Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away.

"I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine.

Colorless Hearts

"He was the dark night.

She was the bright day.

But their hearts were colorless, and yearned for the same change."

-

REVIEWS:

"Colorless Hearts is an amazing story that shows that it doesn't matter what race you are. With all the terrible events going on in the world right now, Colorless Hearts can serve as a beautiful reminder that there are still people like the main protagonists who only see each other as human beings, not as someone of another race or, overall, different as them. It shows that there are people whose hearts are colorless, and that's something that the world needs to hear right now. A beautiful story that has hope, dreams, and most importantly, love." -@Eris345

I cleared my throat with more force. Harper opened one of his eyes and looked at me. He still didn't let go of her nipple.

He raised an eyebrow but didn't stop thrusting.

Oh God!

"I, um, was j- just l- looking for some cleaning supplies."

He didn't stop, instead just grabbed Maria and wrapped her legs around his waist.

Okay?!

Maria was still in her own bliss. I don't think she even knew that lunch period was over and she had to get to class.

Leaving her nipple, he grunted and looked at me. "What the fuck are you waiting for? Grab whatever you need."

Eleven years have passed since The Battle of Endor, and ten since The Battle of Jakku. With the discovery of _The Journal of the Whills_, an ancient book that records the early days of the Jedi Order, Luke Skywalker has rewritten the Jedi Code and eliminated some of the more recent additions to the Order's traditions, including excising the non-attachment clause.

Luke and Naluma find that the Jedi Code isn't the only thing that has changed.  With the addition of Ben Solo to the Jedi Academy, what was once relative peace and tranquility on their hidden planet in Wild Space has now become a bastion for the dark side.

Meanwhile, the First Order bites off chunks of the New Republic, one system at a  time, as Supreme Leader Snoke plans his ultimate take-over to liquidate the entire Jedi Order.

This story picks up 18 hours after the end of _The Jedi Reborn_.

"Why did you fucking run away?"

She paused for a second. "Because I saw a bloodied hand in the bag you brought."

He shook his head. "That's not reason enough to run away. If I left my wallet at your workplace, you should keep it and return it when I come back. That's what normal people do."

She looked at him with a dry expression. "I'm very sure normal people will never compare a mutilated hand with a flimsy purse. They are barely in the same category."

"That's not all. You'll have to complete a task for us."

She eyed the man warily. "What task?"

"It's been concluded that there is a traitor in our midst. Your task will be to fish out this individual or individuals, as the case may be."

After a hot-headed playboy billionaire stands her up for a career-making interview, blogger Sweet vows to ruin his reputation. The only catch? It requires her to strike a fake-dating deal with the enemy.

Standalone in The Billionaire's Sweet Trouble series

***

When sensational blogger and small-town farmer's daughter Sweet Treble promises her publisher an exclusive interview with notorious Greek billionaire Sebastian Stavrakos, she knows she's on the precipice of getting everything she's ever wanted. That is, until Sebastian stands her up not once, not twice, but three times, and she decides to sour his reputation to get even.

Sinfully handsome Sebastian grew up with the keys to his family's business empire, but a string of playboy antics have him on thin ice with his parents. When Sweet goes on live TV to expose his behaviour, what starts as a missed interview spirals into a media storm that threatens the CEO position he's spent his entire life hedging for.

Sebastian has his eyes set on revenge. Sweet has her heart set on karma. But as their plans backfire, they decide to strike an outrageous deal: fake date for the media, repair Sebastian's reputation, and write an exclusive that will launch Sweet's first book to the bestseller list. But what happens when the fiery hatred between them grows into something more? And when Sweet's high school sweetheart, Jace, returns to town, how will she choose between the comfortable good guy and the enticing bad boy? Can revenge turn into romance, or will the playboy get a taste of his own medicine?

Wrong Number [18+]

Against my better judgment, I answer, "Look I told you, you have the wrong number," I say a bit too harshly. "I wish I was the girl you were looking for but I'm not."

"You do, huh?" His husky voice fills my ear again and I shiver.

What the hell is he going on about?

"What are you talking about?" I ask confused.

"That you wish you were the girl I was looking for," he says amused.

I groan remembering exactly what I said and palm my face, "I said that huh?"

"Uh huh!"

 That's what I kept whispering to myself, tucked away in the quietest corner of my heart.

I'm just a regular accountant, stuck in my routine, never daring to step out of my comfort zone.
 But then, my wild friends dragged me into a whole new world  and that's when I met Phayu.

Our worlds crashed together in a mess of stolen glances and unanswered questions.
 Can we really make this work - with all the distance, doubts, and secrets between us?
This is my story of a modern love filled with awkward moments, heart-flutters, and the kind of hope that makes you keep reading.

The Lycan's Bargain

"Please help me... I'll do anything. I just want my mother to live." I cried, tears streaming down my face in torrents, my body trembling in fear.

Kael stared down at me, his glowering eyes devoid of any emotion and a chill ran down my spine.

"Anything, you say?" He asked, pointing the edge of his sword against my neck and I stiffened, refusing to breathe.

"Anything... " I whispered, my voice small yet resolute.

A corner of his lips quirked up, not quite forming a smile. "How about my slave?"

Project Love: Amy

Hey, my precious readers.

I have a blurb to publish here, but I'm trying my best not to reveal anything about the story. I want you guys to read it as it comes without knowing what's to happen.

I assure you, it's going to be a rollercoaster of emotions and will be worth it. Everyone has different opinions, so it'd be great if you guys could comment on what you think of the characters (I already have an idea about the ending, but I like creating surprises, so... ehm).

If you're someone who doesn't like to read without knowing what's coming, here's a blurb for you that doesn't reveal much (but I really suggest skipping this):

My best friend, Amy, and I are now university students. While I am quite extroverted and popular, Amy is the exact opposite. She doesn't talk much to anyone, but since we've known each other since birth, we're super close. One day, Amy comes up to me and shares that she found a guy pretty cute and that he's in the university's music band. This is the first time Amy has had something close to a crush in her entire life. So, as her best friend, I decided to find out more about the boy, play matchmaker, and try to set them up together.

But....

What will happen? Will I be successful in helping Amy date her crush? Or... was it a bad idea to get involved?

amori's peace

𝙪𝙧𝙗𝙖𝙣 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 | 𝙗𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚

I went silent just resting my thoughts on the idea of loving him. Sighing I lifted my head and decided to tell him how I felt.

"I love you TreyVon I really do" I whispered to him putting my hands on his chest. I felt him squeeze my waist and move one hand under my chin.

Moving to kiss me he moved down on the bed, mid kiss he pulled away both of us kinda out of breath from this passionate kiss, "I love you" he returned putting his lips back on mine before he flipped us over on the bed and this romantic shit wasn't a normal thing that occurred regularly in my life.

And when it did I just prayed that this man would be the love of my life till the day I'm off this planet and he's what kept the peace and sanity running in my life everyday.

The Forgotten Ones (A Completed Steamy, Historical Romance)

We know a lot about the American Civil War.  We know about the battle at Gettysburg and how Sherman burned Atlanta but do you know many individual stories?

Follow Oliver and Naomi from their arranged marriage through the war.  It will be quite a journey as Naomi faces the war home alone and Oliver fights battle after battle.  She will face one of the cruelest band of the southern militia army as she tries to protect the people she loves most.

This is a story about the ones left home during the war.  The one's who earned no great merit or place in history.  The forgotten heroes of a bloody war that stood for freedom and equality for all Americans.

I based some of facts in the story on writings left behind by my family that lived here in Indiana in the 1860s.

My ancestors were Quaker and they were abolitionists in Indiana.  We still have their homes used in the underground railroad in our family.  My other side was endangered servants from Ireland and my great-great-grandfather was, unfortunately, one of the soldiers that came to Indiana while serving under John Hunt Morgan.  He was the rest of my family's enemy.

https://www.wattpad.com/646167251-the-forgotten-ones-a-completed-steamy-historical

Please keep in mind this story is based in  America during the 1860s and it was a different time.

Isabelle Curtis and Jackson Carter were fierce academic rivals in high school, up until Jackson moved to the UK in junior year for boarding school.

Eight years later, Jackson has returned from abroad to take on the role of CEO at his late father's company. When Isabelle and Jackson meet again, there's a war of words, banter and a passionate dislike towards each other. Throw in a high school reunion, some more chaos, and a 'deal' in the mix-one that might just involve a little faking and pretending.

It's all fun and games and tit for tat, almost just like in high school, until real feelings become involved...

"Literally the best books I've ever read on this app!" - @seraphilc

"This book really made me feel things. This is one of those books I'll never forget" - @dudeidevenk

"This book was amazing. Intriguing plot line mixed with captivating writing style. I 100% think everyone should read it!"- @EatingMegannnnn

*****

"You're telling me you don't feel this?" He surprised me by asking. He was looking at me in a way that me feel like I was already naked.

"Feel what?" I asked him, even though I knew exactly what he was talking about. The air between us was so thick, it was almost suffocating. Like we were made of two completely different ingredients that were begging to be mixed together.

"This attraction between us, Lilac," he whispered out, placing his hands on either side of my head against the wall, trapping me from escaping him.

Not that I wanted to.


100 Hearts

The citizens of Los Angeles are afflicted with symptoms of anxiety, unidentifiable lacerations, and the lack of a will to live all while walking around with altered personalities. These symptoms, once observed, always lead to death, or at the very least, a missing person status. There is a suicide epidemic going on here, and 19-year-old Ever Belmonte is believed to be at the centre of it, but does he or anyone else really know that? Challenged by supernaturally gifted enemies, Ever and his newfound allies must find the source of all this heartache, understand the implications of love and hate, and stop hundreds- if not thousands- of more deaths and disappearances, all while Ever suffers from odd symptoms himself. He's determined to do it, but there's only so much a human's heart can take.


The Peach-Pounding Peters of Peterson Hall, #2 [Wattpad Edition]

(Book 2 in THE PEACH-POUNDING PETERS OF PETERSON HALL series.)

Welcome to Port Pelle College, where all the action starts and ends on the fourth floor of Peterson Hall, the only dorm that matters.

Shortly after Pete and Jerrick leave town, Aaron Hernandez moves in as the new POV character. Like Pete, Aaron's from an upscale Detroit surburb experiencing life in a remote little town in northern Michigan. Attending Port Pelle College is quite the (wet) dream with all these hot college jocks to get to know. But little does Aaron know that his university experience won't exactly turn out as planned. After all, it forced Pete to escape town without a trace.

Aaron receives an invitation to the Peters club, a secret group of discreet jocks known as the Peters, and he becomes Rock Peters. Unlike Pete, the size of Rock's "eggplant" disqualifies him from becoming the new Chosen One to claim the virgin sacrifice's "peach" in the form of a beautiful twink. That role has now been transferred to Hush, whose BBC will make Aaron, a total top, scared after swearing to himself no one would ever touch his virgin butt. And because Jerrick has also left, a new twink must be deflowered to become the club's sub who must then satisfy every member's needs.

If only sub Peters weren't off limits when it comes to romance, since Rock is quite taken by him. Unfortunately, it's part of the rules, and the new leader, Fabio, will do everything he can to make sure the rules are never broken. Thankfully, he's nothing like the rotten Buff who abused his leadership role.

But watch out! Buff just might want revenge for being thrown out of the Peters club. And after losing his last godly obsession he almost could've married? Well, let's just say Rock isn't so lucky to resemble Pete...

After the Smoke cleared

Ever heard a story from the bad girl's point of view?

The one who's always at the party. The one with smudged eyeliner, loud laughter, and a drink in her hand,smoke in her lungs. She's nothing sort of a stable person.
To the world, she's a mess. A spoiled rich kid  lives with her dad who often seems distant to his own daughter.
Nova Hale was all that and something no one cared to understand.

Then there's Draven, the campus bad boy with a reputation dirtier of not to mess with me. He's the kind of boy girls are warned about, dangerous, arrogant, and complicated.
But in a house full of people who only see her as drunk or blameworthy, Draven sees something else.

This isn't a story about love saving anyone.
It's about a girl who's already shattered, trying to figure out if there's anything left to save at all until she entered into a competition that forces every student to bare their truth, unmasked their character.

She never meant to participate. But somewhere between the rumors and the names, Nova decides it's time to speak. Maybe not for them.

But finally - for herself.

Rich People Problems

As much as Kimberly Astor hated to admit it, she had a slight problem. Okay, so it was theoretically a major problem, but it wasn't entirely her fault. Okay, so it was her fault, (at least to a certain extent, according to her) but her dad didn't need to be all rude about it. He especially did not need to threaten her future role as CEO on it too.

And, setting up an arranged marriage to fix said 'problem' is so out of proportion. Okay, it wasn't completely out of proportion, but still.

Jace Kingston didn't know what he was getting into when he agreed to be married to a 'problematic heiress'. He certainly was not expecting a sexy vixen, who was hellbent on getting on his nerves and destroying the semblance of normalcy he established in his complex life.

So, when the two come together to form a business alliance, they make a simple plan.

1. Fix the problem.

2. Don't ever bring up personal things.

3. Get out.

Too bad breaking the second rule is making the third rule look a lot more... difficult.

"You made this happen, Eliza," Jayvin's voice was low, cruel, as he traced his finger along the edge of her skin. His touch sent a shiver through her, his breath warm against her ear as he spoke again, "Now, I'll make your life hell."

Eliza's heart pounded as he lifted his head, locking his eyes with hers. Fear surged through her, but her hands were bound, leaving her with nowhere to run.

"The hell I've been living for the past six years," he added, a sinister smile playing on his lips.

"Shall we begin..." he whispered, his words laced with a promise of torment that she could no longer avoid.

  "After the great war, King Archeron, who was not yet a king, was the obvious choice to be the monarch of Avenlea. He possessed all the qualities a king should have-courage, intelligence, boldness, strength, and empathy-but most of all, the gods had given him a quality of his own, something he could pass on to his children. They gave him fire. Fire that could bring down nations."

Jasmine has been told stories of Avenlea since she was a child, but it isn't until she meets a handsome stranger who claims to be Avenlean that she starts considering that the myths could be true.

"We shouldn't look for love stories where there are none to be found. And mine, indeed, wasn't a fairytale."

While working for Archer Marketing, my life was going perfect. No drama, no thrill or whatsoever.

And this time he didn't only come with his virile, pulchritudinous looks, snarky comments, dirty mouth, and his signature Lucifer smirk, but he also came with something that could give me everything.

A deal that could change my life.

A deal that could make me floating in money.

A deal that could give me everything I ever wanted.

He should say no. He really should. But even with knowing she doesn't want him, Beau would do just about anything for Collins. Including giving her the open room in his apartment-because he knows she isn't going to find another one, not this close to the start of the college semester.

But as Collins moves in and unpacks all her art supplies, all her secrets, Beau starts to wonder if maybe...maybe she wants him after all.

And maybe getting the chance to be with her is enough to risk everything. Enough to tip the hidden scales, the ones he's been keeping underwraps.
