I wanted his hands on me, on every part of my body. I wanted to feel him pressed up against me, his skin touching mine. I wanted our passionate kisses to escalate until I was panting and trembling, on the precipice until I was begging for more. And yet, it still wouldn't be enough to squelch the desire I felt for him in that small space of time. 

I didn't know what was worse: waiting on the edge of oblivion or the sense of it never being enough...

Rated for language and graphic lemons...with yummy firemen...

Bella Swan is a writer for a Women's Magazine in Florida, a magazine that she writes the self help column for...Something she really wants to escape. The good news, she is escaping self help, the bad news, she's covering the lives of women behind sports stars...In Denver.

Here she meets three amazing women; the girlfriend, fiance, and wife to two players and the coach of the team, but what will happen when the team superstar, Edward, takes an interest in Bella?

Warnings: It's NC-17, so basically... Smut, Language.

Edward is a 27-year-old alcoholic/addict struggling with his recovery. Bella is a 23-year-old who's moved back home after college. This fic chronicles how they meet, fall in love, and struggle with the complexities of their relationship. Not nearly as maudlin as it sounds (I hope).

Rated NC-17 for graphic (and sometimes non-romantic) sex, drug and alcohol use and abuse, profane language, and brief (very brief) suicidal ideation (although NO suicide attempts). No sexual assault, no cutting.

Bella has grown from an orphaned sixteen year old raised by her older brother Emmett and his friends affectionately known as ‘her boys’, to an up and coming first year medical intern. When a day in the ER turns dangerous can her boys, now members of the best SWAT team in Chicago save her? Eventual Canon pairings. Rated 'NC-17' for strong language, lemons.

Geeky Edward thinks he has absolutely no shot with the popular, beautiful Bella. Is he right, or will she be one of the many girls who thinks geeks make for better lovers? M for language, sexuality and some underage drinking. A little OOC… okay, a lot OOC.
