Being locked down with one of Melbourne's top football teams during a global pandemic was not how Paige Marino expected to keep her job. Determined to help the hotel avoid scandal, she is not prepared for the connection she feels with one of the team's top players, Nate Howard. As he fights to make her open her heart to him, will she unlock a secret that could end his career and leave them both adrift in an unsettled world?


'You shouldn't be in here Paige,' Nate said slowly, his voice gravely as he moved towards her. He hadn't expected to see her again, let alone in his hotel room.
'I know.' She took a slow deep breath, her eyes darting between Nate's face and bare chest. Muscles shifting as he held back, approaching her like a hunter would an injured animal, reading her reactions. Only this time she didn't back away.
'What are you doing here Paige?' His smile was feral, eyes darkening as they ran the length of her body, pausing on the curve of her hips. She could feel her face flushing, and the heat pooling between her legs.
'I don't know.' Her voice was barely a whisper. Nate closed the distance between them, his arm circling her waist, the other cupping her cheek. He groaned, running his thumb along her bottom lip and sparking every cell of her body to life.
'I want you Paige,' Nate whispered against her lips, seeking permission. Her body was pressed against his, her breathing shallow as her hands flattened against his chest. The part of her that wanted to do the right thing was silent, and instead of pushing away she let her hands explore his chest, sliding up his neck and into his hair.
His eyes darkened as she met his gaze again.
'I want you too.'

hot chocolate kisses - karlnap

{ON GOING!!}Hello! This is a Karlnap high school au, in which Karl works at a café, where he meets his fellow classmate Nick for the first time, only recognising him as they share classes. Nick is the popular basketball player, and is pretty rude the first time they meet. After the awkward meeting at the café, Nick ends up having to get tutored as he's failing science, and guess who's top of the class and has to be the tutor? I'm sure you can guess but still read to find out :) trigger/content warnings: will be at the beginning of every chapter!In this story, there will be a few cc's as characters who will be bullies and just plain assholes, but this story is complete fiction and is not real. I know that they are great people, besides any problematic stuff that has happened.If Karl or Sapnap say that they are uncomfortable with fanfics, this will be taken down immediately! -zoey :)

ONE-SHOTS (YouTubers x Reader)

This was originally a collection of one shots with either Mark (Markiplier) or Jack (Jacksepticeye), but I'm changing it to have other YouTubers as well as them, so the first 20 chapters are just Jack and Mark. After that will be variety. It will still be mostly Mark and Jack, but will now include Ethan (CrankGamePlays), Felix (PewDiePie), James (Odd1sOut), Jaiden (JaidenAnimations), Adam (SomethingElseYT), probably some egos, and others that are requested. Requests are allowed, just PM me or comment. Some will be child reader one-shots. Also language is used.
