Just as Annabeth's hands reached to grab the back of her jacket, Sonya pivoted smoothly, one arm coiling around Annabeth's waist like a whip. There was a sharp gasp-Annabeth's-and then her spine slammed against the edge of the bar, the breath knocked clean from her chest. Sonya's forearm pressed hard across her collarbone, pinning her in place with infuriating ease. "If you wanted my attention, sugar, all you had to do was ask," Sonya murmured, her voice sultry and rough, lips inches from Annabeth's. "Get off me," Annabeth snarled, squirming beneath her hold. Sonya arched a brow, leaning in even closer until her body molded against the younger woman's-thigh to thigh, hip to hip. "You're feistier than the girls next door," she whispered against the shell of Annabeth's ear, her breath hot. "Careful now, Anna. I've always had a thing for resistance." Annabeth jerked against her, face twisting in rage. "Let. Me. Go. You stink of whiskey and whores," she spat, kicking against Sonya's shin. Sonya didn't flinch. "Say please," she drawled, her voice silk and steel, utterly unbothered. "Manners go a long way in this town." "Never," Annabeth hissed.

Milena gave up college to take care of her family's coffee shop after her father's accident. But when bills pile up and hope runs thin, she turns to underground boxing - dangerous, illegal, and the only thing paying enough to keep them afloat. Across the street from the café sits a towering company run by Viviana Romano- a powerful, cold CEO who secretly owns the ring milena fights in. When Vivianna hears about a new fighter causing a stir, she doesn't expect the stubborn girl from the café. Milena doesn't care who Viviana is - all she sees is a woman who plays safe and never gets her hands dirty. They argue. They clash. But something keeps pulling them back together.

Cassandra Claire never planned to be married off to her brother's ex-fiancé, Kai Braxton, once she turned 18. Twenty-one years ago, my brother, James Claire, was contracted to marry into the Braxton family for business purposes. However, this contract was recently revised by the two families due to "personality differences." In other words, my parents found a loophole to keep their golden child at home while pawning me in as a substitute. Under normal circumstances, I would be thrilled to leave this hell I call home, but there is one problem. I am not into women and I hate the Braxton family, especially Kai Braxton.

this is just a fanfiction and my imagination so, don't take it seriously. . Farhana and Malti were never meant to fall for each other- not with their fights, jealousy, and unfinished anger. But one retreat, one kiss, and one dangerous obsession pulls them into a storm they can't walk away from. Between fear and desire, they learn that real love... is rarely gentle, but always unforgettable.

Grace has always been the responsible one. After losing her parents, responsibility was all she knew-taking care of her younger sister, keeping her head down, never letting herself slip. No parties, no distractions, and definitely no time for love. It never mattered anyway. Love was something that never seemed to belong to her. Until now. What started as a simple tango class, just a chance to learn something she'd always admired, changes everything the moment she meets her. The instructor. Beautiful, magnetic, impossible to look away from. But falling for her is dangerous. Because she's married. She's forbidden. And she's the mother of her sister's best friend. Grace promised herself she would never risk her heart. But on the dance floor, with every step and every stolen glance, she's beginning to wonder if some loves are worth breaking all the rules for.

Adeline LaGrange. Thalia Maral. The two clash the moment they meet. Faith vs science, warmth and ice. But the more their worlds collide, the more something quiet and dangerous begins to bloom between them. As secrets inside the church unravel, Adeline is forced to question everything she was raised to believe. She must choose between the faith that shaped her and the woman who is slowly undoing her heart. Some desires don't feel like sin at all instead they feel like salvation.

Raven came out of the closet hoping for acceptance but her overly religious reserved father turned out to be an extreme homophobehence taking the measure of sending Raven to live with nuns while they 'cure' her gay away. But could he have predicted sending his gay daughter to a place full of women would only back fire?. "We are here to pray Raven" Mother Superior glared at me in warning. "All we do is pray. Can we discuss how you have managed to be a 36 year old virgin?" I ask the very strict uptight woman in front of me. "I committed to celibacy and purity" "Yes but does that mean you never get worked up. You obviously still have hormones and I'm sure you get wet sometimes" "Raven!"

I've spent years perfecting the art of being untouchable. I don't date, I don't "do" hookups, and I certainly don't do vulnerability with people that know who I am. But when Ally dragged me to a speed-dating event, I figured I'd spend five minutes being bored and then go home. Then Paloma walked up to me. She was everything I usually avoid-confident, radiant, and looking at me like she could see right through my professional armor. For one night, I let my guard down. For one night, I wasn't the boss; I was just the woman who couldn't keep her hands off her. I thought I'd never see her again. I was wrong. Walking into my firm on Monday morning, I expected the usual spreadsheets and silence. Instead, I found Paloma-my new Creative Director for my magazine, GLINT. Now, the woman who knows exactly what I look like without my suit is the one reporting to me. She's a distraction I can't afford and I'm a risk she shouldn't take. But every time she walks into my office with a stack of files and that beautiful smile, I realize that for the first time in my life, I don't want to follow the rules. I want to break them. ________________________________________________________________________________ Paloma is back in the city, nursing a bruised heart and zero desire to be at a bar. But her friend Nova is relentless, and before she knows it, she's facing Tae; from the most captivating woman she's ever seen. Tae is striking-six feet of quiet intensity, covered in tattoos, and clearly just as reluctant to be there as Paloma is. The connection is instant. The hookup is unforgettable. But when Paloma walks into her new Job on Monday, the woman with the ink and the soft touch isn't a stranger anymore. She's her boss.
