❝I want you on your knees. Not out of love, or respect, or even fear... but because you understand your place will always be beneath me.❞ Leander Graves could be known for being one of the most popular gamers at merely twenty years old, or for being the mysterious guy no one really befriends. But no, Leander's name is always followed by the same word. 𝙑𝙞𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙣. Sheltered. Protected. Shy. Awkward. Completely insecure. Untouched fits too. Then one day Carmen Ivory walks in, clad in money and whispers, power and control. When she's told Leander is out of anybody's reach, a true challenge even for the best conquerors, he stops looking bland and starts appearing... fascinating. Thirty thousand dollars. Until winter break. For the money. For the dare. For her pride. But what begins as a simple bet soon becomes obsession: a web of manipulation, seduction, and cruelty spun by a girl who has never loved anyone in her life. Because Carmen doesn't fall in love. Psychopaths don't. They collect playthings. And Leander is destined to be her favorite. ♰ Bet trope ♰ Bad girl × Good boy ♰ Double POV ♰ Reverse dark romance ♰ Elite college

Clover Vale was a girl with sins as cells. Orion Miller was a boy raised on scripture and suspicion-taught that girls like Clover were ruin disguised as beauty. Desire was dangerous, but so were secrets. When the two of them are drawn back into each other's orbit at Finewaters, old memories resurface - along with something darker. Something watching. Something waiting. Something that doesn't want them digging into the past. Indulgence might send them to hell. But the truth buried at Finewaters might destroy them first. ☘︎ ❝P-please,❞ He whimpered, holding my hand over his erection. It was perfectly hard and ready for me, straining against his boxers in the most delicious way. "What is it that you want me to do, baby?" "Touch me," He moaned and drew his head back when I ran my tongue over his clothed cock, sucking his hardness gently. "You make me feel so good...𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦...I want more." His mother always told him that greed was a sin, and his father said girls were the devils confidants. Orion Miller was greedy as hell for a taste of me, and denying him of what he wanted would have been wrong. With my teeth pulling his boxers down and eyes melted into his, I intended on proving his parents right and wrong. What could they really do to me, anyway? His father was gone, and once her precious son's purity was washed over with my sins, could his mother ever truly get him back? Started: August 13, 2022

-𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟏 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬- "Would you get on your knees for me?" "If you asked," he breathes out. I hum and trace his plump lips with my forefinger. "I don't ask, darling." It seemed that's all I had to say because he dropped to his knees before me, not once breaking eye contact. "Good boy."

A toxic Tyler Galpin Story of Obsession. ||| Deyanira Serrano has always been haunted-by her past, by her powers, and by the monster inside her. Born a Wendigo, cursed with the ability to touch a person's deepest fear and weaponize it, she has spent her life in exile. At Nevermore Academy, among vampires, sirens, and werewolves, she should finally belong. Instead, her hunger and the whispers of her curse keep her at the edge of every circle, alone. Until she meets him. Tyler Galpin. The boy from Jericho with storm-coloured eyes and a smile that makes her forget how to breathe. He's human-soft, warm, everything she isn't. But every time Deyanira draws near, something inside her claws to the surface, restless and ravenous. What she doesn't know is that Tyler harbours a darkness of his own, one that mirrors the beast she fights to control. The Hyde is waking. And it wants her. Drawn together by a connection that feels both inevitable and forbidden, Deyanira and Tyler circle each other like flame and kindling. His presence stirs a fragile hope she thought she'd buried. But as strange accidents and targeted murders follow her every move, Deyanira realises their bond may be more than dangerous-it may be fatal. Because in a place where monsters walk in daylight and secrets rot beneath the surface, love isn't just a risk. It's a weapon. And she needs to decide if she's going to use it.
