Military's Girl
KenZ_Dizzy95 - 2013
I couldn't just stay here and listen to him telling me he was leaving, I couldn't just deal with it. Tears were running down my face as I made it to the street, just at the edge of the grass and the sidewalk-arms wrapped around my waist and I collapsed into them. "Baby girl, I'm so sorry." He sounded as heartbroken as I am "I really am, I don't want you crying like this. It breaks my heart". "I still remember the time I lost you in he woods" he chuckled, even though his face was sad. "You had no idea how scared I-how scared I was because I lost you. I thought I lost you for good, that I wouldn't be able to find you, ever. Every time I called your name I got more scared I wouldn't find you, but then I did. I found you. You were huddled up crying, you didn't even know it was me till I said your name.'' "The way you looked at me after that, made me never to see you cry again. So I promised I would do everything in my power to keep you from crying, and except for the little things here and there-I did a good job. Until now that is. Not only did I not keep you from crying, but I'm the reason" he said, barely above a whisper. His eye's shining with tears, and some were trailing down his face. "You also promised never to leave me" I whispered, finally able to talk. "I know..." "Your promised!" I shouted, he held me tighter as I cried. "I know... I know, and I'm sorry. I never meant to break that promise either" Tyler and Dakota have been best friends since either can remember, even with a 2 year gap in their age. But what happens when Ty leaves and joins the military, and leaves Kota behind? Something he promised he would never do? Will it wreck their friendship for good, will they be able to repair it?

Dalaric
ARKHNN - 2020
His demons enveloped him in darkness and he saw no end of any tunnel.Until a girl, who's weird and wears nothing but a pair of black jeans and t-shirts that are too big for her, called him pretty.___"It's not." He shocks me again and my smile gets wider as happiness flushes through me. Seeing him understand why I'm upset is mentally refreshing. The people who hurt me don't understand. Even mama doesn't. I can tell from the new wounds every week.I move forward and hug his slim waist tightly while smushing my face into his very warm chest. His turtleneck is soft under my skin. His hands lay by his side and I use my own to bring them around my waist. Our height difference makes it only a bit harder for him to put his chin on my head. Dalaric remains tense but holds me tighter when I try to pull away."This is what friends do, I think. They hug, right ?" I ask, tapping my chin in thought. He seems just as lost as me with his blank expression and slight confusion. He tries to pull me back but I shake my head and he glares at me. I boop his nose and grin at his cute glare. Aw.
Jilly Cooper: Rivals and Riders
Jilly Cooper - 2012
This special 2-for-1 collection features two of these classic titles: Riders and Rivals.RidersRiders takes the lid off international showjumping, a sport where the brave horses are almost human, but the humans behave like animals. The brooding hero, gypsy Jake Lovell, under whose magic hands the most difficult horse or woman becomes biddable, is driven to the top by his loathing of the beautiful bounder and darling of the show ring, Rupert Campbell-Black. Having filched each other's horses, and fought and fornicated their way around the capitals of Europe, the feud between the two men finally erupts with devastating consequences during the Los Angeles Olympics.RivalsInto the cut-throat world of Corinium television comes Declan O'Hara, a mega-star of great glamour and integrity. Living rather too closely across the valley is Rupert Campbell-Black, divorced and as dissolute as ever, and now the Tory Minister for Sport. Declan needs only a few days at Corinium to realise that the Managing Director, Lord Baddingham, is a crook who has recruited him merely to help retain the franchise for Corinium. Baddingham has also enticed Cameron Cook, a gorgeous but domineering woman executive, to produce Declan's programme. Declan and Cameron detest each other, provoking a storm of controversy into which Rupert plunges with his usual abandon. As a rival group emerges to pitch for the franchise, reputations ripen and decline, true love blossoms and burns, marriages are made and shattered, and sex raises its (delicious) head at almost every throw as, in bed and boardroom, the race is on to capture the Cotswold Crown.
Kiwi
Hitterj - 2020
I try and clear my mind, focusing on the way the water feels hitting my body. I turn around, opening my eyes, only to shout out a curse and stumble back.Emma is directly in front of me, taking off her tank top, eyes glued to my body. I hadn't shut the curtains, thinking no one would be in here, and I didn't know if I was happy or mad I did that. I stood there speechless as her small hands grasped the bottom of her sports bra. I inhaled sharply when she pulled it up and over her head, exposing her breasts. They jiggled slightly as she tossed her clothes to the side, and I found my heart rate quickening at an alarming rate."W-what are you doing?" I breathe out as she pulls her leggings down her body, leaving her in just a thong."Showering." Emma tells me as if it's obvious.
