You must not understand he says shaking his head I don't because I don't belong to anyone not even you the devil himself Oh I'm the devil now ? He questions was I the devil before or after I took my heart out my body and gave it to you he says You were always the devil I just never realized it Randomly the radio starts playing the song scaring me as it was "you are my destiny by Paul anka" He chuckles deeply and darkly baby you don't understand you are my angel you'll never be able to run away from me I'll find you wherever you go because your my destiny my lover my muse my angel to consume and I'll have you even if I'm the devil himself in your story. I back up feeling scared but also something darker maybe flattery because no one has ever looked at me like he has and that's when I knew he had me right where he wanted me.

A Saudiah B & PJ Washington story. Inspired by Be Your Girl by Teedra Moses.

Close your eyes. Breathe in. Feel the air turn thick, heavy with cigar smoke and expensive cologne. You can almost taste the whiskey on his tongue, can't you? General Marcus "Reign" Blackwell is power wrapped in ink and royal blood. He commands armies, breaks enemies, and fucks whoever he wants-until he sees *her*. Dr. Aaliyah Monroe. Quiet. Brilliant. Curvy African-American goddess who codes weapons in the dark. Shy smiles. Soft voice. Vanilla skin that glows under fluorescent lights. One breath of her scent and the untouchable general unravels. He dreams of her every night. Strokes himself raw imagining her thighs wrapped around him. Watches her sway to R&B in her apartment through shadows he shouldn't cross. Calls her *dove*, *tiny momma*, *my wife*-long before she ever says yes. She thinks it's temporary. He knows it's forever. He kneels for her. Begs for her. Cries for her. Marks himself with her initials while she sleeps. And when she finally rides him-slow, commanding, glasses slipping down her nose-he sobs her name like prayer. This isn't love. This is obsession carved into worship. This is a man who would burn the world just to hear her giggle and boop his nose. But when the first fight comes... When she needs space and he needs her closer than air... Will his dove fly away?

20-year-old Irish Smith is one of the best young PR managers in the sports industry, known for keeping athletes in line and scandals out of headlines.

Sincere is charming, flirtatious, and determined to break Irish's professional walls down no matter how hard she tries to resist him. But while Irish is focused on protecting his image, the lines between business and feelings slowly begin to blur. In a world filled with fame, pressure, and cameras always watching, falling for each other could cost them everything.

Childhood best friends, separated by time and distance, find themselves face to face again after eight long years. Kenzie and Darrian once shared everything inside jokes, late-night talks, and a connection too deep for words. But life took them in different directions, and what was once unbreakable slowly faded into memory. Now, older and different, they cross paths again on a trip meant for fun, laughter, and making new memories. What neither expected was how familiar it would all feel the comfort, the teasing, the quiet glances that say everything they never did.

"You know a good sangria spot?" she asked, lips twitching into a small smirk. Jude smiled, slow and sure. "I do. But you'd have to hit me up first before I start giving away my favourite places." Kamia let out a quiet snort, shaking her head, more amused than she cared to admit. "Slick." He lifted a brow, his grin widening. "A little." ✿.｡.:* ☆:**. 🌸 .:**☆ *.:｡.✿ Kamia is having a year, a big one. With her debut film days away from shooting and a debut album riding on perfection, the rising fan named Pop-piano star has no time for distractions. Especially not from the green-eyed demon of an ex who broke her heart. And especially not the internet suddenly obsessed with shipping her with a man she barely knows. Jude is used to pressure. As Real Madrid's newest midfield darling, he's no stranger to cameras, critics, or complicated women. But when a stolen moment with Kamia spirals into a fan-fueled frenzy, he's forced to confront feelings he swore he'd buried - ones he's not sure he has room for. What starts as friendship, tentative, unlikely, and unexpected begins to unravel everything they thought they knew about love, loss, and healing. Secrets get leaked. Old flames resurface. But amidst it all, they might just save room for love. P.S- Slow burn city was founded here <3
