I stepped forward and asked, "Where do you want me?" It took me a second to realize what I just said.

Shit!

I placed a hand on my crimson face and muttered, "Get your head out of the gutter! You know what I meant."

He laughed, his voice sounded hoarse and deep even when he's laughing.

I peeked at him from the gap I made between my fingers.

He was close. So close. He grabbed my hand and took me to the bed.

Damn! It did sound sexy.

His shirt was loose. Too large for me, and it hung on me like a cloth hung on a hanger.

He sat on the bed, criss crossed and pulled me to him.

♡♡♡♡♡

The thing about love is... its unpredictable. Even when you don't want love, it just happens. 

Cassandra is your typical anti-social tomboy where Easton is your black leather jacket high school bad boy. 

Cassandra and her siblings arrive at Brinkley mansion hoping the year to get by quickly so they can be back with their dad. But then they meet Easton who has a different plan for them. 

The to-be sole heir of Brinkley Inc., rude, party lover, filled with nothing but rage for the invaders in his house, becomes determined to bring the truth out to world about his father by making the lives of Cassandra and her siblings living hell.

Cassandra is not supposed to fall in love with someone like Easton who not only doesn't want her here but also isn't even available.

Join these two teens in their journey to find what's right kind of love, or is there even a righteousness to love?

Taming The Tomboy (Rewriting) by StarDaisyxxx21

"Hermia is a heck of a character I love" "The kitchen scene is so hilarious. This story is amazing!" ~LYh203126 "I love your dialogues. Imagining this feels so good!" ~MadeenahJunaid "God, the cliffhangers. . . It makes me wonder what lies ahead in the next page. Well written" ~HappyEndingWriter ***Teaser: I went into a frenzy when the curtain was drawn apart and there stood the boy next door with his eyes closed and hands outstretched. But he wasn't just there. He was stark shirtless! My eyes slowly widened and I could feel my own heart beat frantically against my chest ribs. If anyone told me the nerd had perfect eight pack abs and flexed muscles, I'd disagree but here it was, mocking me right in the face. Sweats trickled their way down his belly lines and his torso was rising in a sync.*** ----- Extended description: What happens when the tomboy starts to have girl like feelings she ought not to and always condemned? But what seems like a normal highschool story boy falls in love with girl and changes for her might not be it. Instead of the girl to change the boy, the boy is changing the girl. It all started with an hockey match and a misunderstood identity. ©2022 #5 in YARomance (July 25, 2022) #25 in nerdy (May 7, 2025) 100 reads- July 19 200 reads- July 26 300 reads- July 31 400 reads- August 2 500 reads- August 7 600 reads- August 11 *time jump* ----- Cover designed and edited by @StarDaisyxxx21 N/B: All images which will be used to represent characters herein do not belong to me.

Bad Influence by rosy_pengirl

SYNOPSIS: The difference between Derek and I is like trying to count a tall building with over a hundred floors. While he's the type that gets tattoos, parties, sleeps around and smokes chunks with his friends, I'm the kind of girl that secure good grades at school just to make mummy proud. I'm not his type, he calls me a minor and ruffles my hair like a kid but I don't want to be that to him. I want to be everything he wants me to be, I want to be everything he likes in a woman even if it means skipping classes, partying and making mummy sad. I knew coming back to Austin TX after four years and getting to see those magnetic gray orbs that kept pulling me closer, those devilish lips, the smirk that whispers; 'Do what would make your mom disappointed' would be a bad idea. I shouldn't do this, I shouldn't look up to Derek. He's a bad influence, I know but I can't help it. ^^^^ Guys, welcome to my first ever Wattpad novel. After going through some of the chapters, my friends kept telling me this book is a Wattpad material and I should bring it here so here it is. I hope you guys love this. PS: I love Derek, the character from Teen wolf and to express my love, I've decided to use his fictional name and last name as my MMC. It's just the name and nothing more )3 Cover credit: Pin interest. #2 contemporary, really thankful for the opportunity guys 😊 #1 Contemporary, 1.24.24. Thank you ❤️

The Wolf and The Witch by DeathNice12

~Cover by me~ WARNING: I created this book years ago so it is a bit um cringy I am working on a new version of it called "Midnight Rose" if you'd be interested in that. "What are you wearing?" He said jaw tightened... "Gym cloths as we're in gym"... first, he and his friends are hiding out in a freaking alleyway which was shady as heck second, he tries to order me to sit by him third, he hugs me without my permission fourth, he smells me like a freaking creep which he definitely is fifth, he growls which isn't normal sixth, He touched me without my permission yet again almost breaks my wrist definitely bruising it and now he has the nerve to question what I'm wearing and get mad over my answer awe heck no... I exited the locker room I saw the beast was there right outside the door and there were several girls behind him giggling and gawking at him, although he is hot I will admit that much... I think I'm falling for Ian. I can't let Bell know... "Well then.." his voice lowered "Evan Pierce I have every intention to win your heart and re-name you Evan Walker"... His smirk grew then fell. Slowly he leaned in closer and closer until I could feel his warm, minty breath on my face... "Evan" Ian started "I am going to kiss you" his words coming out with determination. Before I could stop him or even react I felt his soft, warm lips touch mine lightly. His scent becoming more dominate. His warmth surrounding my body. Millions of tiny sparks running through my body. I'm not sure what came over me... Maybe I just wanted to revel in this new emotion... Maybe I've lost my my mind... But instead of pushing him away I closed my eyes welcoming him...

🥊 Hate or Fate 💕 {Enemies to Lovers} by WhiskeySeattle

One day you're happy, and the next, a freak accident exposes your boyfriend's dirty little secrets in the worst possible way. I lost the man I loved, my trust in people, and my home in less than one afternoon. At least I know that I've pushed past unimaginable pain before, and I can do it again. Elijah didn't break me, just my heart. 💔🔨 So, the LAST thing I needed was to run into my ex's best friend, Gray on the street. Who cares if he's hotter than lava? Gray's a cocky jerk who seems to get a misguided kick out of making my blood boil. And did I mention the guy's got a chip on his tattooed shoulder even bigger than his inflated ego? Unfortunately, I just found out that I accidentally hired him to work on the BIGGEST campaign of my career!💀 But when Gray's prismatic eyes fill with heartfelt apologies, I don't know how to feel. It's messing with my mind, my career, my new friendships, and worst of all, it's hurting what's left of my ruined heart. I thought Gray hated me, but I was wrong...There is something much, much stronger that binds our fate. 🥊💕 This book contains adult themes (aka sexy stuff and trigger content) as well as Oxford commas and the occasional grammatical error. 🥊💕 **This is a complete story that I am currently in the process of editing, so feedback, notes, and helpful comments are always welcome.

The smirk where you know their up to something. Something bad. - Meet Jade Williams. Your average girl in every single way.
