(FREE story including Exclusive Chapters!)**BWWM ROMANCE** (Started: Feb 2022 ~ Ended: June 2022). This story is the first in the Eternal Universe and it's a complete standalone. (Eternal #1) ~The first interaction between Jacob Withers and Amara Weston in the first grade was a disastrous one. One that began with him dragging her, demanding for her to play with him, and ended in her fleeing from him in outrage. Even back then, as the fire in him burned scorchingly at the vision of the beautiful little girl dressed in the cutest red dress he'd ever seen, Jacob knew. He knew that Amara is the one. That, despite the rolling of her eyes, her avoidance of him, and her sheer obliviousness, she is his. And damn anyone who would dare to tell him otherwise.Bad blood between their families or not, Amara has sunk herself deeply underneath his skin. She is his, without question or debate. And with the beginning of their senior year, it is now up to him to finally convince her of it, too.~*DISCLAIMER* This is a BWWM story with a very obsessive and possessive male main character who, at times, does *interesting* things while driven by his fixation with the woman he loves. Definitely not a story for everyone.…

**BWWM ROMANCE** (This is my first story. I wrote it when I was quite young. Please give me some grace.)This story (Eternal, #0.5) is a complete standalone from my other ones, and only loosely connected to the rest of the Eternal Universe. Tasha and Steven make a small appearance in Eternal Obsession. ~He grips my waist, bringing me closer to him in an attempt to prevent my escape."Please, don't move away. I need you close to me," he states with a pleading gaze.I sigh, conflicted and a bit exhausted. "Why, Steven? Why can't you just let this go?""You're my sunshine, Tasha. My eternal sunshine. I can't let this go. I simply won't."~Since the day Steven Morrison laid eyes on Tasha Simmons, his heart connected with hers in an unexplainable way. Unsure on how to approach her, the young boy resorted to mild taunting for years, effectively annoying her with his ever-present grins and stolen touches. Unaware of his deep feelings for her, Tasha ignored and evaded Steven since the first time she met him. She resisted his advances and convinced herself he was the villain. Until she discovered that perhaps he wasn't the bad guy. She hid from him until she couldn't do so any longer. She forced herself to hate him until her own feelings began betraying her.And despite her fears that she and Steven were too unalike to become one, she learned that he would stop at nothing to change her mind.~**Apart from some strong language, this story is mostly clean. **(Cover photo from @alexusandjohn on Instagram)…
