Farah Grant has spent her entire life proving she's more than just the daughter of a business mogul. But when her father's empire faces ruin, he offers her up in a sweet deal disguised as an arranged marriage. The bride? The owner of an empire. A ruthless CEO who's as cold as the steel and glass towers she commands. From the start their relationship isn't made to work. Farah is fiery and passionate but against her "wife's" icy demeanour, it's different. Their marriage is supposed to be all about business, public appearances, and playing happy wives for the cameras. Nothing more. But behind closed doors, well that's a different story. Desire, passion and need make it hard for them to keep it all professional. But then again, contracts can't split but vows were made to be broken.

𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝘘𝘶𝘪𝘦𝘵. 𝘚𝘩𝘺. 𝘕𝘦𝘳𝘥. 𝘗𝘳𝘶𝘥𝘦. That's what everyone calls me while turning up their noses at me. Even if it's true, I don't care. I have a plan. Keep my head down and graduate from Huxley High to get into my dream university. Well, that was my plan. Until something shattered everything I had worked for. Until I started partnering up for an assignment with the daughter of the family who owns the town. She has the world at her feet. Popular, talented, out of everyone's league, with good looks to match. Everyone craves a piece of her and worships the ground she walks on. Except me. What begins with a school project starts invoking feelings in me, awaking something deep and irresistible in me. 𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦... I have never truly existed, until her. The things she makes me feel are filthy. Obscene. But, I soon start begging for more, begging to a degree that scares me as much as it excites me. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘴𝘰 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥? 𝐁𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐘 𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐄𝐋𝐄 𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘦. 𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯. 𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩. I always had everything under control, nothing happened I didn't plan for. Until an unforeseen obligation turned my life upside down. 𝘜𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘳. She barged into my life unannounced and stripped me down of all the defenses I had built. 𝘉𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭. 𝘚𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘵. 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘥. 𝘐𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦. A school assignment. A deadline. It should have been a piece of cake. I'm Bailey Steele after all, there is nothing I can't handle.

Veronika Koroleva Petrovna-Moscow's untouchable queen. The wealthiest, most powerful woman in Russia. A name that drips with arrogance, feared as much as it is revered. With a single glance, she ensnares. A presence so sharp it cuts. To her, people are nothing but pawns-disposable, forgettable, irrelevant. Trust is a currency too expensive to waste. Loneliness is not a curse; it is a necessity. No parents, no attachments, no weaknesses. Begging? Pleading? Nyet. That is beneath her. Luciana "La Reina" Monteserra-Madrid's deadliest shadow. A queen of ruin and carnage, cloaked in elegance. Cold. Calculating. Lacking even the pretense of empathy. She does not ask. She takes. What she touches, she owns. What she claims, she keeps. No one defies her. No one escapes her grasp. But Veronika? Veronika was the exception. The one thing she could never own.

Caterina gave a small, amused hum, flipping a page of her magazine as though unfazed. "You'd be hotter if you weren't so mean." "And you'd be hotter if you cut the fucking attitude," Celine shot back, her voice dropping as she leaned closer, her eyes narrowing dangerously. "Before I fuck it out of you." When Celine crosses paths with Caterina, the daughter of a powerful mafia boss, she expects a quick and simple plan to settle an old score. What she doesn't anticipate is Caterina's audacious counteroffer: a marriage of convenience that will grant Celine access she can not decline. Their uneasy alliance is fraught with tension-both the fiery, physical kind and the sharp clash of wills that comes from two women with their own dark pasts and hidden agendas. As they step into a world of wealth, deception, and ruthless ambition, their plan teeters on the edge of chaos, with one question looming large: Can they trust each other long enough to survive? Will they pull off the ultimate betrayal-or will their fragile bond bring everything crashing down?

In a cramped college dorm room where secrets echo louder than music and tension lives in every shared glance, two roommates find themselves caught in a spiral of lust, loathing, and everything in between. Lexi Blake never meant to fall for anyone especially not the stuck-up, rule-obsessed girl she got randomly assigned to live with. Nyla Knox is focused, disciplined, and completely uninterested in chaos. At least that is what she tells herself. But when late-night fights turn into breathless standoffs and insults blur into something hungrier, the line between enemies and something more starts to disappear. They are toxic. They are wrong. And yet they cannot stop. As school pressures rise, friendships fracture, and boundaries shatter, Lexi and Nyla are forced to confront what is really growing between them because this is not just a hookup.

No one hated each other as much as Tyler Murphy and Hazel Parker, every glance a slow, venomous burn. Yet beneath the surface, something deeper pulled them in, something they consumed in bitter, silent doses. It wasn't the hatred that destroyed them-it was the poison they couldn't stop sipping. The poison of love.

You dance for strangers. Heels, lights, music - the show never slips. Then you see her. A quiet girl in the back, watching like she's memorizing every move. She doesn't flirt. Doesn't speak. Just looks - like she knows exactly what she wants, and it's not for sale. What starts as a game of control becomes something else. Something harder to fake. Rules break. Lines blur. And when you're used to keeping your distance, nothing is more dangerous than being seen.

When Reader and Ellie find themselves locked in a room together they're forced to face the misunderstanding that occurred between them three years prior. Reader isn't ready to let it go, but Ellie is willing to persuade her otherwise. ------------------------------ (REQ: gayboobielover42069) Modern college AU. This is also very unrealistic/events are too convenient ------------ Warnings: 18+, consumption of alcohol, smoking marijuana, brief description of reader's outfit, mentions of divorced parents and foster care, ANGST, mutual pining, reader and Ellie are both idiots, Ellie being a little manipulative, SMUT, f*ngering and or*l s*x (r receiving)

Bite Before You Beg *smutty* (A "The Last of Us" Ellie x Reader Fanfic) The only thing worse than being stuck on patrol with Ellie Williams is realizing you'd rather throw her against a wall than shoot her. Y/N can fight off infected. She can outrun raiders. But surviving Ellie's smirks, sharp words, and too-close stares? That's a whole different war. Thrown together by bad luck and worse timing, what starts as another brutal patrol turns into something bloodier - and far more dangerous. Trapped in the ruins of a dying city, it's not just survival on the line anymore. It's pride. Control. Desire, twisting sharp as a blade between gritted teeth. Enemies first. Allies by necessity. Something else if they aren't careful. She hates Ellie Williams. She just hasn't decided yet if she'd rather kill her... or let her ruin her. In a world already torn apart, some battles are lost on purpose. And some are begged for.

Cassie Brown has spent her life wrapped in the illusion of safety-protected, overlooked, a shadow cast in her brother Jesse's wake. But she's done being someone else's careful secret, done biting down on the need for something raw, something real. Ellie Williams is impossible. Her sharp edges cut just to see if you'll bleed, and Cassie? She's always been the kind to lean into the pain. Their uneasy alliance is a game neither of them meant to play-stolen glances like flicked matches, touches that linger too long, a slow-burn soaked in gasoline. Survival demands trust. But trust? It tastes a lot like sin.
