Falling For You Secondhand Serenade Novels & Stories

“Anything to ensure you don’t marry another man.” Serena stilled for a second. Nathaniel smirked, slow and knowing. She didn't respond. Serena simply stood, intending to put distance between them, but her foot caught on a strip of gauze on the floor. The thin bathroom slippers offered no traction. She slipped. Nathaniel moved instantly. His hand caught her waist, but instead of merely steadying her, he turned with the momentum. The world tilted, her breath left her lungs, and suddenly she was falling backward.

Serena didn’t listen. Instead, she leaned in closer, her lips brushing near Sophie’s ear as she whispered, “It’s over for you.” Sophie’s chest tightened at the words, and her brows drew together in confusion. “What are you—” She didn’t get to finish. In the next second, Serena’s grip loosened, and her body dropped suddenly, collapsing to the floor with a sharp, controlled fall. A soft cry escaped her lips as she clutched her arm, her expression twisting into pain.

"You already did. Don't keep flirting." "So what? I'm not flirting. I'm just complimenting you." "Whatever." Serena put on some random music. Suddenly the two of them exchanged glances when listening to Ed Sheran's Perfect. Nostalgia returned when interpreting the song. "Don't change it, honey," Barra muttered when Serena's fingers were about to touch the media player button.

In her dream, the little girl seemed close to the little boy. "Okay. I won't come here anymore," Serenity promised. As she took a step back, she accidentally stepped on a branch and lost her balance, and she fell backward. "Ah!" Serenity screamed, falling toward the cliff. She was about to fall, so she instinctively tried to grab onto something. Anything! Thud! The next moment, a hand grabbed hers. Serenity's body was close to the cliff. Luckily for her, Lucas dropped to the ground and caught her in time, or she would have rolled down the hill.

I smile as I gaze at my ring, holding my hand up so it catches the light. "You like it?" I shake my head. "I love it. It's perfect." "Thank you for saying yes." "There was never any other answer for me. I started falling for you the night you fed me dessert." "So that's all it took, huh? Buttering you up with sweets?" "Pssh. Obviously. That and your sexy body." "I see. If I let myself go from all the desserts then you'll leave me?" "Of course." "Guess I'll just have to keep reminding you why you fell for me in the first place, then."

And as I was waiting for his return, I already connected his iPad to the speaker of the car to listen to a piece of music that is why I am now already slowly nodding my head because the song was so good to listen to. Shortly after the song arrived at the chorus part, I was already singing as I caressed the water drop pendant of the necklace that Franco gave me on my eighteenth birthday months ago. Take me home, I'm fallin' Love me long, I'm rollin' Losing control, body, and soul Mind too for sure, I'm already yours

"Don't worry, Dad. I secured the perimeter. No villains today. Just romance." Then, the music started. Not an organ, but a cello playing "Can't Help Falling in Love." Everyone stood up. Serenity walked out from the library archway. She didn't wear a crown. She wore a simple, bohemian lace dress with flowers woven into her loose hair. She held a bouquet of wild lilies. She didn't look like the Grand Duchess of Montbert. She looked like the girl Jackson fell in love with. The girl who loved art and dreamed of love.

I'm uncomfortable in this" "Wanna wear my shirt? " Funny. Goodnight" "Hey... The massage..." "I don't need it. Go massage your mistress Rosa" "Why bring up Rosa into this discussion? She's not my mistress" " Let's not go over this. I'm off to bed" " Dinner... " " Not hungry" Serena fell on the bed and her face buried in the bed. I dropped the glass cup and my gaze fell on Serena's legs. I immediately averted my gaze. I can't afford to lust after her body. But then, she's still a woman.

“Why do you fight me?” “Because I can,” I whispered, more to convince myself than him. He exhaled sharply, frustration and longing mixing in a way that made the air between us sizzle. “Stop pretending this is just business. Stop pretending you don’t feel it too.” I looked down, because if I met his gaze, I might lose every shred of self-control I had left. “I’m not pretending,” I said softly. “I just… I can’t.” “Can’t what?” “Fall for you,” I admitted, voice barely audible.

Crystal eyes beamed with pride as she looked up and gave a sweet smile at Justin. The two just stared at each other. Serene processed the bomb that got dropped on her. Fiance? He’s getting married? The thought wrung her chest. Her eyes avoided Justin’s after she felt her tears gathered on their edges. She cleared her throat and extended her hand, “Justin.” Felicity Pax? She’s Felicity Pax? Then who’s the woman in the exhibit? His eyes scanned the face he had not seen in the past five years. The cold and distant feeling she gave was foreign to him. “Serene,” he said, taking her extended hand.
