Mika Roselyn Cruz is a glitter-drenched disaster wrapped in leopard print and rhinestones. A bubbly, clumsy gyaru with too much love and not enough balance, she's just started her dream job at one of Tokyo's most iconic maid cafés-serving parfaits and heart-shaped lattes while trying not to fall (literally) on her face. She has big dreams. Big hair. And an even bigger problem. Two problems, actually. Enter Rei Kamiya: a cold, fashion-obsessed rich boy with the smile of a villain and the social power of a teenage movie dictator. He hates loud girls, cheap accessories, and unsolicited affection-which makes Mika his living nightmare. So why can't he stop staring? Then there's Kuro Mori: a grumpy underground metal vocalist who growls in Japanese, smells like smoke and coffee, and wants nothing to do with her sparkles. Mika thinks he might hate her. He definitely does. But when he's on stage, screaming lyrics into the void... her heart kind of screams back. With her elegant bestie Kyasarin, her blunt alt-soul sister Polo, and a trail of spilled drinks behind her, Mika stumbles into a chaotic slow-burn love triangle-balancing café shifts, emotional chaos, and the inconvenient truth that she might love both of them in very different ways. What's a gyaru to do when her heart refuses to pick just one flavor of disaster?

"I can be anything you want, my love," she mutters in my ear, her warm breath making my skin tingle and my body yearn for her to touch more of me than her gentle hug around my waist. While I do appreciate how gentle she is with me, right now I want more. I want more of her touch on my bare skin. I want her hands to explore me more than she's letting them. I know she wants more just like me, but she's holding back. "Oh, really?" I tease, wrapping her hair around one of my fingers and giving it a small tug, hoping that this will get her worked up. "Anything I want?" Alice hums, confirming her promise before peppering a few soft kisses along my neck while I consider my request. There's so much I could ask for. "Absolutely anything, my love." *** For those who never find pleasure easily, a creature who knows and can be their every desire is perfect - it's even better if the creature is the one lustful for them.

"If you wanted me to fuck you, all you had to do was ask," Tazmin said, her raspy voice lowered as she drew one of her hands up the inside of my thigh. I clenched my jaw, "I didn't," I gritted, even if we both knew it was a full-faced lie. Especially with me bent over her desk with my hands held behind my back. "Oh so this..." she trailed off, suddenly running her fingers along my damp underwear, "Is all for someone else?" I drew in a deep breath, feeling the needy ache between my legs grow as she caressed her fingers back and forth against my covered core. "Anyone else," I forced out tightly. ♤ There's a delicate balance between law and order.

Milena's number one priority was always her family, but that quickly lands her face-to-face with her demons and the corruption that binds them. How far is she willing to go for her family? More importantly... how far is she willing to blur the lines of everything she once fought so hard for?
