But it just took one little disaster for me to run back into his arms. I desperately needed a date to my brother's wedding, unfortunately, my options were limited. With a family that pounced at the first taste of drama, my broken engagement had become my dirty little secret, and when time came for me to bring a date to the wedding, I was left with no other choice. Christian knew his way around the world, he knew how to make people love him and hate him. I learned my lesson and I would always choose the latter. But in desperate need of a fake fiancé that my family would adore, I made yet another bargain with Christian Lukov. But there were conditions to everything, even love. ... Christian: I may have lost Jules a year ago, but I still had it all. Somewhere between meeting my little sister's annoying best friend and then hiring her years later to become my assistant, I had fallen in love with Jules Evangeline Declan. I would have given the world to be with her but Jules was the one to throw away everything we'd built. When she came back to me a year later, demanding to put a ring on my finger again, I had my suspicions. But I was an opportunist and there was no rest for the wicked. Ever since Jules walked out of my life, I'd been a mess. I lost a fiancé, maybe even the love of my life, but I also lost a perfectly capable employee. One I desperately needed back. I knew my way around the world, I knew how to make people fear me and hate me. But nothing mattered when it came to Jules, I would do anything to have her in my life again in any damn way, even lie.

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

"Liliana." He halted his movements. "Yes Seb?" I was in a trance. Under his spell. Helplessly so. "It's your call." "What is?" "This." I felt his thumb caress my skin from under my shirt. "This ends when you say so- it doesn't even begin unless you say so." Consent has never been sexier coming from Sebastian's lips. Two best friends find themselves in compromising positions after jokingly kissing each other over a dare. Fighting desires to maintain the friendship they once knew- How far could they take this to be really 'Pushing Limits'? Published: June 2 2025 Completed: July 19 2025 NI

They hooked up a lot. It was nothing else even if she wanted it to be – which she didn’t. It was convenient because he lived with her best friend – and it was good. What more could she want?

“What is your problem?! LEAVE ME ALONE!” I screeched. I was tired of this and couldn't hold it in. He’s been doing this for a whole year. A WHOLE YEAR. It was the last day and I had nothing to lose from this sudden outburst anyway. I was ecstatic that it was almost summer vacation. I’m going to go to my aunt’s place in Philadelphia and live there for the rest of the summer – AWAY from Dylan and his friends here in Massachusetts. “Never, baby. Wherever you are, I’ll be there.” He sent me one last smirk and left the cafeteria, filing out along with the rest of the students. ♣ “I’ll miss you, sweetie.” “I’ll miss you too, mom. See you in September.” And with that, I closed my suitcase for the last time in Massachusetts and prepared for a peaceful, serene summer in Philadelphia. ♣ “Dylan?!” I shrieked as my glasses drooped down the bridge of my nose. “Abby…?” He sounded unsure as he studied my face and features a bit more. “What are you doing here?” “I should be asking you that,” I stated bluntly while readjusting my glasses. “Oh you silly kids. We already told you. We’re living together!” Elaine announced again. I almost barfed.

Me and my best friend Grayson have been best friends when we were babies, but when we went to a party that's when everything changed. Best friends don't do that. Fall in love right.

"It's your turn to pleasure me," she whispered breathily. "Um...how?" I asked, referring to the handcuffs that restrained me to the bedposts and the blindfold that concealed my vision. "I can't see...or move." But I quickly learned the answer when she sat upon my face. Ooh. That's how. In that case, yes, Ma'am. I dutifully obliged as any good submissive would, licking and teasing her sex with my tongue. She tasted almost sweet, and I found myself craving her even more. She moaned and sighed in pleasure, writhing atop me. And when her thighs began to tremble violently, I knew she had climaxed. *** "I can fix him." These are the words Addison Miller tells herself when trying to convince her emotionally unavailable best friend, Matt Jones, that they should date. Burned by a cheating ex, he has closed himself off to love. There's just one problem, the sex between him and Addison is steamy, electric, and a whole other level of kinky that he's never experienced before. Neither can walk away from their friends with benefits situation, but while Addison is struggling with the addiction that is her love for Matt, he's battling a dark addiction of his own. Can Addison save him, or will Matt succumb to the demons of his past?

"The first rule of living together is that there is to be no more sex between us." Matt slapped a paper against the bare white wall, securing it with a piece of tape. "See it, memorize it, practice it." From my seat on one of the many cardboard boxes scattered around the apartment, I protested. "But what if-" "No," he said firmly. "No more sleeping together. I don't care how badly either one of us wants it. If this is going to work, then we need to get over the temptation, and we can't very well do that if you're crawling into my bed every night. Understood?" Sex. Living together but not technically dating. What could possibly go wrong when best friends Addison Miller and Matt Jones decide to room together even though they are both secretly hot for one another? Add in the temptation of Matt's cheating ex-girlfriend, Vanessa Adams, trying to win him back, and it's a recipe for disaster.
