“We’re going to get caught.” I feel his lips trace the curve of my neck.
“Try being less gorgeous,” is his breathy response before sealing my lips with his, stealing any response I might make. I hear a moan, realizing the sound is coming from me.
I’m not used to this. Indulging, feeling irresistible.
“Braxton. Babe. We just have to make it through the night.”

LOVE SPELLS TROUBLE is truly my love letter to all the iconic shows/movies I love but don’t spotlight Black teens as the leading pair in epic love stories, including Gossip Girl, Sabrina, 10 Things I Hate About You, etc.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

#QueryTip When sending your queries, for me anyway, one of the most important aspects is WHAT ARE THE STAKES. What might the character win or lose by overcoming whatever their obstacle is. And the higher the stakes, the better. But without them at all—or very low stakes—I have to pass. Remember it!!
