A California writer with a broken routine. A Southern contractor with steady hands and a slower kind of love. When Aeluna moves to Louisville to renovate an old house and find her words again, the last thing she expects is Maverick - patient, grounded, and dangerously intentional. What starts as dust-covered floors and one page a day turns into late-night dinners, back porch confessions, and a man who looks at her like she's already home. But falling in love is easy. Letting yourself be chosen is harder. And Maverick doesn't do anything halfway.

~ MATURE CONTENT 18+ ~ His hazel eyes were sharp fixed on me, his hands flat on the table. I flinched inwardly, he never looked at me that way, dark and angry. His eyes were usually soft caring and loving but not this. "So basically what you're saying, and correct me if I'm wrong, I'm the problem. Everyone knows what 'It's not you it's me' means", his voice was hard and accusing. I knew this was a bad idea to agree to see him. "Nate", I sighed uncomfortable, "I- I can't do this, us, I'm not ready" "You can't do this", he chuckled darkly shaking his head, "You're afraid, that's what you are", he leaned across the table his voice low and added only for my ears, "I remember you were more than ready when we made love and you came over and over again around my cock begging me to keep going" He leaned back in his seat, his hands going through his hair letting out a shaky breath. "We spent time together, laughed together, talked together... So this meant nothing to you? Was this a sick game to make me fall in love with you so that you could destroy me after you got me all wrapped up around your finger?" his voice broke, his eyes pleading with me to reconsider, to take him back. I was speechless, my voice gone, shaking, my hands gripping the burning mug full of camomille tea. I wasn't shaking because of anger, no, I was shaking because I was hurting him but I was also hurting myself.... ~~~~ This is the story of something that was supposed to be simple, easy, but strangely it turned out complicated. A love story between Annabelle and Nathaniel, both in their thirties, more alike than they think but sometimes love meets you and you have to choose whether to accept it, or reject it... ~~~~ #1 AMBW on 04.10.2026

Cybertron has been revived, but Predaking enjoys the planet he knew as Earth as well. There were far more creatures than he could count, and most were as connected to nature as him. Instinct ruled them, though this beast was far more civilized and capable of advanced leadership, just not by himself. The Autobot and Decepticon adventures were through- but now is the time for the Predacon's story to rise. (I only own my OCs and the storyline, all other characters belong to Hasbro.

Then I met Caleb Calhoun. He's forty-four, runs the biggest ranch in Montana, and looks at me like I'm a natural disaster waiting to happen. He values order, discipline, and respect. I drive a rusted El Camino, drink cheap beer, and thrive on chaos. He thinks I'm just a reckless twenty-one-year-old with nothing to offer but trouble. So, naturally, I decide to be his trouble. I push every button he has. I call him 'Daddy' because I know he hates it-and because I know it makes him think things he definitely shouldn't. To top it off? I flirt with his son just to watch his jaw tick...until his son starts flirting back. His son Benny is freshly back from war, dangerously charming, and looks at me like I'm the first thing he's wanted in years. And the more I provoke the grumpy rancher, the more I realize this isn't a game. Benny wants to keep me. Caleb wants to tame me. And for the first time in my life, I might actually want to be 𝐰𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐝
