Academic Rivals To Lovers Books Novels & Stories

Why not? “Yeah, sure,” I said. “I mean, we can be friends, right?” Liam stared and chuckled, shaking his head. “I don't want to be friends with you, Angel eyes.” My stomach dropped. “What?” He leaned forward, propping his arms on the counter. “Friends don't fuck each other, do they?” he husked. My eyes widened at his response. He leaned even closer. “Let me tell you a secret, I have wanted to fuck you since the day we met, angel eyes.”

Austin and Angela stood on the rooftop, surrounded by the breathtaking view of the city skyline. The sun was setting, casting a warm orange glow over the landscape. Austin had made a reservation at this exclusive rooftop restaurant for their anniversary, hoping to make it a special night to remember. As they perused the menu, Austin's eyes kept drifting to Angela's face, searching for any sign of guilt or remorse. He had caught her in the act of cheating, and the image of her with his rival, the football team captain, was still seared into his mind.

And worse… A man who had loved her. That night, under the pale glow of a Roman bridge, Liam waited. He didn’t flinch when a woman in crimson heels appeared from the fog. Not Irena. Worse. Adelaide Volkov. Irena’s niece. His former handler. And the only person who ever saw through him completely. “Hello, lover,” she purred. Liam’s fists clenched. “What do you want?” Adelaide smiled, slow and cruel. “To finish what we started.”

I'm willing to do anything as long as it can stop you from being angry at me. It was pointless to even look at him. Instead, I looked around for any sign of Shane. Ever since Eric appeared, all Shane did was hide in a corner like an abandoned child. It kind of tickled me. I walked over to him and grasped his hand in mine. "Where were you? Why are you hiding from your love rival? You're supposed to be my husband." A light lit up in Shane's dim eyes. "D-Don't you regret marrying me? He's here to apologize to you. Would you relent and leave with him?"

“Even though you say you cannot love each other romantically, I know he’s just as important as the air that you breathe. But I can’t blame Chris, either. Travis Cross is one guy you hate to compete with!” “But he isn’t competing with Chris!” “I know. But Chris would never feel that way. He’d always think that no matter what he did, there was another guy in your life who would always do better! Always smarter, always richer…has that amount of history with you. He could never measure up.” “Does it even matter that he’s the one I was in love with?” “It should. But maybe some things are more important to Chris than…the fact that you’re in love with him,” Sarah said.

It was quiet and peaceful and full of laughter as her mother recounted all the stories about her father. "Father did that!" "Yes, your father was quite crazy. He literally jumped off his moving carriage and ran over to mine shouting, "my love, my love marry me!!' gods, you should have seen your grandfather's face. He was furious indeed, even his face and neck turned red as he glared at your father," "Then how did your father agree to the union?" Eloise whispered, lying lazily on her bed.

My laptop history was a testament to it—the endless tabs of dark erotica, the niche p**n sites, the stories that pushed boundaries most people wouldn’t even consider. Liam, bless his vanilla heart, had never understood it. He’d barely understood a missionary position on a Tuesday night. But Draco… Draco understood. He didn’t just understand; he fed it. He was a walking, breathing manifestation of every dark fantasy I’d ever scrolled through. And now he was my professor. The thought should have sent me running for the hills, transferring departments, changing my major. Instead, it made my clit twitch. My body, always so quick to betray me, was already anticipating the next encounter. The next
