Basketball Romance Books Novels & Stories

Jameson reaches for his handkerchief in the inner pocket of his suit and dabs at a wayward drop on my cheek. “Sorry,” I murmur. “It was just all so beautiful and tragic. And, well, there is mention of him transporting her to somewhere else when he makes love to her.” I should bite my tongue. I’m weepy and reminiscing about an emotional pull to a movie. I’ve possibly even jumped the shark here, by bringing the entire thing up. To save face, I tell Jameson, “The film really wasn’t a romance. Infidelity and no happy ending are big no-nos in the romance genre. Yet, it did have strong romantic undertones that were—”

I left the room in sadness, feeling the excruciating pain of his sheer rejection shooting through every vein in my heart, hot tears cascading down my cheeks endlessly as it dawned on me that I would be rejected. The horrifying stories about rejected mates that I had read in books were about to be my fate and it was like a dream. "Why me?" I hissed, my legs weak and feeling like jelly as I paused in my track, replaying scenes of what I saw inside that room.

Every part of her. "Are you sure about this?" I asked again to confirm one last time and she nodded her head. My hands ran through her bare skin up to her bra which I undid and then her panties. We made love there and then, in that shabby motel. This time it was different from all the girls I've been with. It was pure passion and with both our hearts racing. Maybe it was the passion. Maybe it was the music. Maybe it was just us expressing our love for each other. That was not sex, that right there was love making.

“I’m sorry, but it’s true. Men think wiggling their eyebrows at us or doing what you were doing is sexy, but really, it isn’t, especially when you’re dressed like that.” I shrug and slump on the bed next to her. “I just thought it was romantic, you know?” She leans over to the side of the bed and pulls out a romance book from under the pillow. “Use this. It’s the best manual for what girls really like.” I take the book and study the cover. A man is kissing the neck of a woman whose blouse is slightly off her shoulder. “Blah,” I say and toss the book to the side. I actually think I’ve read it before.

“But no. I couldn’t read that.” My heart, which had just begun to settle, gave a nervous flutter. “Why not?” I asked, my voice suddenly tight. Her face crumpled in an expression of sheer disgust. “It’s a forbidden romance,” she explained, her voice dripping with revulsion. “Between a girlfriend’s best friend and her father.”

I felt how Lucas was so hostile the moment I started walking again in the hospital and if that's not an indication that he wanted time apart, then his sudden disappearance without saying anything was. "And did she say anything about the wedding, Riz?" the anchor asked, her eyes growing in wonder and excitement. "Because don't get me wrong, royal weddings are the best type of wedding. But if there's anything to top that, it's the Santelli-De Marchi matrimony." "Caterina hasn't exactly said anything about the wedding but she dropped a few hints like how she was looking forward to the next few days." The reporter continued talking about some shit I said when the sound of the doorbell rang. Grum

"Is this your boyfriend?" "No," I said too quickly. Jonah, still holding me, muttered under his breath. "Hoping to be." I shot him a sharp glare. Victoria's eyes sparkled at the tension. "Adorable." She turned with a little smirk and tugged Cassian's arm. "Come darling, let's check the antique bookseller." Cassian didn't say another word. He let himself be led away, the leash snapping taut ass the Dalmatian bounded ahead.

I reached to grab it, but before I even moved halfway, Adrian’s hand shot out and caught it midair. The book hadn’t even touched the ground. I froze. “How did you—?” He shrugged. “Reflexes. Basketball helps.” “Basketball doesn’t make you that fast,” I murmured. He smiled faintly but said nothing, sliding the book back onto the stack. The silence that followed was charged—like the air just before lightning strikes. When our hands brushed a moment later, his skin felt hot—not just warm, but burning. I jerked back instinctively.

Picking up on Misty's act, Hannah glanced thoughtfully at Robert, who was standing beside Misty. Hannah couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled by how things were escalating in this world. This book was supposed to be a sweet love story between the female lead, Misty, and the male lead, Cedric. But now, the devoted and affectionate Cedric not only failed to take over Garner Group but also got involved with Diana. They were even about to get engaged. Contrastingly, Misty, on one hand, had an on-and-off relationship with Cedric. On the other hand, she had a complicated relationship with Robert.
