Half Wild, Half Yours

Half Wild, Half Yours

She lives on her own terms. He’s living on borrowed time. Neither of them planned on falling—especially not for each other. Blue has made a life out of leaving. Her summer is all dusty boots, soft sunsets, and smoky guitar covers shared with millions of followers from the back of her boho van. Portland was supposed to be a quick visit—just her best friend, a short-term gig harvesting,, and a little time to breathe.But then there’s Teddy.He’s the brooding, blue-eyed lead singer of No Name, the local grunge band with a sound that hits like a bruise and a smile that makes her forget how to breathe. He’s wild onstage and guarded off of it, carrying secrets behind that slow-burning gaze. He’s everything she never wanted: complicated, magnetic, dangerous in a way that feels too good to ignore.What starts as stolen glances and flirtation under stage lights turns into something hotter, deeper, harder to walk away from.They come from different worlds—but under the heat of a summer that feels endless, they collide in all the wrong ways that somehow feel right.And the only thing harder than falling for him… is trusting he won’t break her.

Chapter: Falling For You - Teddy POV
The first thing I’m aware of is light. Pale and drowsy, it filters through the thin curtains and paints soft shadows across the bed. My eyes adjust slowly, but the moment they land on her, I forget how to breathe. Blue. She’s lying on her side, one arm tucked under her cheek, the sheet just barely covering her lower back. Her skin glows in the quiet morning light—golden and warm like she’s lit from within. Her hair is a chaotic masterpiece on the pillow, tangled curls and sun-kissed strands that beg to be touched. I can’t stop staring. I don’t want to. Every inch of her, every freckle and curve, is burned into my brain like a fever dream I never want to wake from. “If you keep looking at me like that,” she murmurs, eyes still closed, voice low and rough from sleep, “we won’t leave this room.” I grin, slow and lazy. “That’s the best idea you’ve had all morning.” Her eyes flutter open, and she points at me like she’s trying to be serious, but her smirk gives her away. “You’ll ruin

Chapter: Private After Party of Two
Teddy reached into his pocket, pulled out the key card, and swiped it. The light blinked green. He pushed the door open, and there he was—Tyler. Tail wagging like he’d been counting the seconds since we left. I dropped to my knees and let him knock the air out of me with a happy bark and a slobbery kiss to the cheek. “Missed you too, buddy,” I muttered, scratching behind his ears. Teddy closed the door behind us and ruffled Tyler’s fur as he passed. “Come on,” he said, nodding toward the hallway. We walked to the bedroom. I peeled off my shoes, letting the soft carpet take the ache out of my feet. Teddy disappeared into the bathroom. I heard the faucet twist, then the sound of rushing water. I didn’t follow him right away—I just stood there, watching him work through the open door. He checked the water with his hand. Dropped in something that fizzed and turned the water a soft pink. Steam started to rise, and he rolled his sleeves up to his elbows. He looked up and caught me wat

Chapter: Heated Stairwell
I didn’t know what Teddy was thinking when he grabbed my hand and pulled me off the dance floor. He didn’t say a word—just took me. The music was pounding behind us, but his silence was louder. It made my chest tight, my pulse spike. I thought he was heading for the bathrooms. But no—he pushed through a door marked staff only, like it meant nothing. Like he owned the damn place. I barely had time to register the flickering hallway lights before he yanked open another door and pulled me into a stairwell. The second it shut behind us, he was on me. My back hit the wall, and his mouth was on mine—hungry, rough, like he hadn’t touched me in years. His body crushed into mine, all heat and muscle, and I couldn’t help the noise that slipped from me. I gripped his shirt like I needed it to stay standing, kissing him back like I meant it. Because I did. Then he was hiking up my skirt, not hesitating. His fingers found me fast, sliding between my thighs like he already knew what he’d find.

Chapter: Dance Flirt
The bass hit me in the chest the second we stepped into Omnia. Lights flickered and danced across the sea of bodies, casting everyone in flashes of gold and violet. The air was thick with perfume, sweat, and the undeniable electricity of a Vegas night at its peak. Music pulsed through the walls, the kind of beat that made it impossible to stand still. Our group moved through the crowd toward the velvet-rope section reserved for us. Teddy’s hand brushed the small of my back, a light touch that sent heat down my spine. When we reached the table, drinks were ordered—rounds of shots and fruity cocktails that hit fast and hard. My head buzzed with tequila, laughter, and Teddy’s scent, warm and spicy as he leaned in. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. It started soft, but I got carried away. His hands tightened around my waist as my tongue slid against his. A little too intense for public, maybe, but I didn’t care. Let them watch. I wanted everyone in this place to know who

Chapter: Vegas Guys Ready - Teddy POV
I buttoned the cuffs of my fitted black dress shirt, glancing across the room at Thomas, who was adjusting his matching charcoal blazer. Brody, lounging on the edge of the bed, tightened the laces of his sleek black dress shoes. Tonight, we were all styled to perfection—fitted black shirts under charcoal-gray blazers paired with dark tailored trousers, accented by slim leather belts and polished dress shoes. The sophisticated Vegas nightlife vibe suited us well. “You good, Thomas?” I asked, noticing him frowning at his reflection. “Yeah,” he sighed, smoothing his blazer one last time. “Just hoping Ellie gives me more than the cold shoulder tonight.” “She’ll come around,” Brody said reassuringly, clapping Thomas on the back. “Just don’t push it.” “Right,” Thomas replied, his tone not fully convinced. We walked into the living room, and Brody glanced at the closed door to the girls’ suite, shaking his head with a knowing smile. “Settle in, boys. They’re nowhere near ready yet.” Th

Chapter: Glitz, Glam, and Girl Talk
Sadie, Ellie, and I buzzed around the penthouse suite, laughter mixing with upbeat music as we got ready for our Vegas night out. Makeup brushes, outfit choices, and discarded clothing sprawled across the furniture, creating the perfect storm of glam chaos. “Blue, turn away from the mirror,” Sadie commanded playfully, tapping my shoulder. “It’s supposed to be a surprise!” “Fine, fine,” I laughed, obediently turning my chair away, eyes shut. I felt Sadie expertly blending eyeshadow and gently brushing mascara onto my lashes. Finally, she tapped my shoulder again. “Okay, look.” I spun around and opened my eyes, surprised by the reflection staring back at me. I’d expected Vegas glam—glitter, smoky eyes, bold lips—but instead, Sadie had embraced my natural look. A soft glow warmed my cheeks, subtle shimmer danced across my eyelids, and my lips were touched with just a hint of gloss. My hair cascaded down in loose, beachy waves. “Wow,” I whispered, touching my cheek. “I actually look li
