Freya Carter designs perfection for a living. Details, stitching, and precision those she can control. But nothing prepares her for Jack Hughes, the star forward whose name she thought she'd forgotten. He's charming, reckless, impossible to ignore and now one of her clients. They shouldn't have crossed paths again not after all these years. But fate has a funny way of stitching two lives back together.

Jack and Jaylynn had grown up side by side, neighbors and inseparable friends, always there for each other through everything life threw their way. It was Jack who introduced Jaylynn to Trevor Zegras, and sparks flew-leading to five years of love, laughter, and shared dreams. But everything changed in an instant when Trevor betrayed her trust, leaving Jaylynn's heart shattered. As she grappled with the pain, Jack was there, steadfast and unwavering, helping her navigate the heartbreak. When Trevor confronted them, furious that his ex was now in his best friend's bed, the tension between past and present exploded, and nothing would ever be the same. Kind of a slow burn, kind of not. There's some kissing but nothing crazy. There's illusionary stuff but no detail. I tend to struggle keeping up and making good endings so if yall have any ideas or suggestions that could help me power through endings let me know! I also know that this isn't the best story ever so please keep that in mind!

"Tell me." He whispered, voice husky with amusement. "If I take this dress off of you and touch you here." His thumb traced slow circles over the tightening nub, rubbing gently, deliberately making it harder. "Would you be wet, Олонок?" Heat surged through me like wildfire. My breath hitched before I could stop it. My lips parted, and instinctively, I bit down on my lower lip, tasting my own flesh. His thumb continued its torturous dance over the areola, small circles that became firmer, coaxing every nerve to attention. I could feel the skin puckering under his touch, my body betraying me in slow, shuddering responses. I wanted to pull away, to stand, to breathe but the grip of his gaze held me captive. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elara Sinclair came to Maryville to disappear.

Ruthless, dangerous, and utterly destructive, Matvey ripped me from my life and locked me in his gilded cage. There was no escaping the man who saw through every hidden crack in my armor. Living under his roof, the line between captor and captive blurred as my twisted desire collided with his deranged obsession. But as secrets from my past surfaced and threats closed in, my captor became my protector. And suddenly, I had to decide whether to fight for freedom... or surrender to the man who could claim everything, including my heart. MATVEY She was meant to be a simple pawn in my answer to her father's betrayal, yet I knew she was different from the moment I saw her dance. I had waited for the chance to invade her life, for I always take what's mine, and I wanted Darya Andreeva to be mine in every way that mattered.

My obsession with her was inevitable, so I vowed to protect, claim, and consume her, no matter the danger or the ghosts of the past.
