When Love Steps Aside Novels & Stories

Ava said, and Seraphina waved her phone in the air before dropping it at the corner table by the chair she was seated in. "How did this happen?" Everly asked after they had sat for a while, and Ava did not say anything. One look at her, and it was obvious that she was trying to collect her thoughts. "We fell in love." Kieran said her question was stupid because she could see the most obvious thing in the world. Would they be there if they weren't lobe? "Is that true, Ara?" Everly shifted her gaze to Arabella. Arabella licked her lip and nodded.

Isaac said, “Whatever the case, bro, isn’t it about time you do the right thing and, you know, grab the bull by the horns?” Aiden swallowed hard at the suggestion. He asked, “But Haru and I, we’re brothers.” “Stepbrothers,” Isaac said. “Yeah, people will think it’s shit, but you love Haru, don’t you?” Aiden nodded, chuckling. “Yeah, I love him.” Mason said, “So, you’re gay, and you love your younger stepbrother, what’s the big deal?” What’s the big deal, eh? Yeah, exactly what was the big deal? He was in love with Haru, and he wanted Haru. There was nothing more important than cherishing that boy in his life.

He could feel it in the way she looked at him. "I love you," she said. "I love you more," he replied,, and, slowly, Colleen moved her face closer to his as he waited for her lips to touch his as well. When they do, Jared closes his eyes and feels all the love that Colleen was trying to convey with the kiss. He responded to her gently because he knew that she was not allowed to have too many or excessive movements. They both took it slow, but Jared stopped and looked at her. "Will you be OK with this?" he asked.

Choice to step aside. To let love win, even if it ain't my love that wins. Maybe that's what prophecy really meant. Maybe sometimes loving someone means letting them go. Even if it kills you to do it. Especially then.

Willow laughed sensuously and flipped over to get on top of Eric. "Break up with Whitney if you don't love her. Marry me and I'll satisfy you day and night." Eric frowned at her words. "No one loves Whitney more than I do. Don't talk about her that way ever again." Willow wanted to say more but stopped when she heard Eric's words. It was a huge blow to her. Love and sex were two separate entities to men. They entangled in bed throughout the night without stopping. Eric finally got out of bed right before the wedding and headed to the venue.

Maybe if he's not giving you the love that you need, it's time for you to stop waiting and start living for yourself. Stephanie closed her eyes and took a deep breath. It was the advice she knew she needed to hear but hadn't wanted to admit. Sophia was right. She had spent so much time waiting for Noah to acknowledge her feelings, but what if he never did? What if she had been waiting in vain? I just don't know if I'm strong enough to walk away, Sophia," Stephanie whispered. "I don't know if I can let go of him, even if it's the right thing to do."

Sealing the box felt like he was storing away the love he had harbored for Misty over the past decade. When everything was packed, Carter took one last look at the home they had shared for eight years. Without hesitation, he turned and walked away, his steps steady and firm. His figure shrunk with each step as he gradually faded into the horizon.

"You're not allowed to approach my fiancee, Tyler Grover." A powerful presence flared from Adrian's visage at that moment. It wasn't just the presence of someone of high authority; it was also the firm resolve of a man who wanted to protect the woman he loved. Needless to say, Tyler was intimidated by Adrian's presence. He felt as though his legs were made of lead. No matter how much he tried, he just couldn't take another step forward. Adrian no longer paid attention to Tyler. He took Stephanie's hand and walked away with her.

His chest heaved slowly. “I am sorry, Stephan. I wish we would have met in different circumstances. I wish we could have a happy marriage but I have always loved you. I still love you and I won’t stop loving you till my last breath. I am letting you go because you’ll be happy without me.” I whispered and turned to leave. I heard heels clicking which alerted me and I hid behind a pillar and I saw Vivienne coming with Mrs. Hamilton.

“I’m done pretending I don’t love you.” My breath hitches. “You don’t have to choose now,” he says softly. “But remember this… ” His forehead presses against mine. “I loved you first.” My heart stops. The world stops. And when he pulls back, standing slowly, his last words are nothing but a whisper that sends shivers down my spine…… “And I’ll love you last.” He walks away, leaving me breathless, shaking, torn. Which of my stepbrothers do I choose???
