"I'm going to fuck you until you're trembling beneath me Isa, until the only thing you can say is my name." Isa shifted, grinding against my slick, leaking cock, feeling her pulse under my hand, every twitch driving me crazier. My own cock was hard, straining, every nerve on fire. The guilt, sharp and insistent, clawed at my chest. I shouldn't be doing this. It was wrong. I shouldn't want it. But wanting it, needing it, made everything hotter, sharper, more unbearable. Every forbidden touch, every gasp, every press of our bodies together was sin incarnate, and it made me ache to keep going. "Miss Cross, please." She begged, voice trembling. "I need you inside me." "You're mine." I whispered as I slipped the tip in, fingers stroking her fucking perfect breasts, teasing, letting her feel the full weight of my dominance. - At Saint Therésè Academy for Girls, Miss Evelyn Cross is untouchable. Black button ups. Steel eyes. A voice that could slice through glass. She's the guidance counselor girls fear, the faculty respects, and no one dares cross. Rumors follow her like perfume of a ruined past, a war behind her eyes, and a heart made of rusted steel. Then Isadora 'Isa' Mercer walks in. Eighteen. Reckless. Dripping with sin and sunshine. Her skirt's too short. Her tongue's too sharp. And her eyes say she came here to ruin something. Evelyn tells herself she can handle it; the late night counseling sessions. The giggles behind closed doors. The lipstick stains that start showing up on her skin. But Isa doesn't want help. She wants control. And she's not afraid to beg for it. Now they're breaking rules, breaking each other, and baptizing themselves in every filthy secret they swore they'd never touch. Guilt becomes foreplay. Power becomes pleasure. And every whispered "Miss" turns into a moan she can't ignore. She was supposed to guide her. She ended up taking her apart, one touch at a time.

"I think you're smart enough to understand how this works, Avery. Actions have consequences. Good or bad-it depends on how you behave." *** Nineteen-year-old Avery Dean has no intention of building a career. Born into wealth, with a trust fund cushioning her every whim, her internship at one of the country's top renewable energy firms is just another box to tick. But everything shifts when she meets Bianca Grant. The CEO exudes power from every detail: her words, her rules, and her silence. What starts as rebellion spirals into fixation. Avery tests limits. Bianca enforces them. And beneath their clipped conversations and veiled looks, something darker brews-something intimate, toxic, and addictively intense. As boundaries blur and submission becomes seduction, Avery finds herself tangled in a game she never agreed to play. Because in Bianca's world, nothing is ever casual, and attention always comes with a price. In a game of dominance and submission, who's really in control?

In the heart of bustling Manila, two women from opposite worlds collide in a storm of drama and unexpected romance. Adriana Lux Evangelista, 28, is the strict, cold, and perpetually angry CEO of Evangelista Holdings. With her sharp tongue, iron will, and impenetrable walls, she rules her empire with ruthless efficiency. She has no time for weakness, no interest in romance, and identifies as straight-past relationships with men ended because no one could handle her intensity. Anger is her armor, control her only constant. Gabriela Virelle Madrigal, 24, is the embodiment of a soft girl-gentle, empathetic, and kind-hearted. A talented freelance illustrator living a quiet, creative life filled with plants, warm tea, and tender artwork, she believes in hope, patience, and the beauty of small moments. Straight with no boyfriend, she dreams of a slow, natural love built on genuine connection rather than force. When their paths cross at a charity gala, the encounter is anything but warm. Adriana views Gabriela's softness as naive weakness and openly despises everything she represents. Sharp words and cold dismissals follow in subsequent meetings-at an art fair and beyond-fueling Adriana's intense hatred. Yet beneath the resentment, something deeper stirs in Adriana, unknown even to herself. As repeated clashes bring drama, career conflicts, family pressures, and emotional walls crashing down, the slow-burn tension builds toward an inevitable transformation.

After uprooting her life with her daughter Freya, Selah moves to a quiet town in search of peace, privacy, and a fresh start. What she doesn't expect is Estella Voss-Freya's composed, guarded elementary school teacher. Their worlds were never meant to overlap beyond polite parent-teacher exchanges, but something unspoken sparks in a single look. As boundaries blur and tension simmers, both women must confront what they're running from... and what they might be running toward.

Lilith Hawthorne is a 20 year old psychology student with a complicated heart and more issues than she likes to admit. She feels too much, thinks too hard, and often drowns in the weight of her own empathy. She's curious, emotionally intense, and carries unresolved wounds especially the kind only a mother can leave behind. Valentina Salvatore is a 30 year old CEO. She works hard to build her career and keep things running smoothly. At the same time, she loves deeply but carefully, making sure her feelings go to the right person. She has learned to protect her heart and waits for someone who matches the way she feels. Where Lilith is full of feelings and unpredictability, Valentina has her life sorted out. They come from different worlds and have different ways of living, but what if that's exactly why they fit?

One girl, haunted by demons she never asked for. One girl, holding onto a dream with bleeding hands. One girl, clinging to a life she never was supposed to survive. One girl-and one infuriating woman she was never meant to meet. Aurora Winters, 18, soft-spoken and sweet like spring rain, begins her second last first day of senior year. The wreckage of a car crash last Christmas stole what little safety she had left-leaving her in the bitter care of an aunt who never wanted her and a man who only knows cruelty. Bruised, quiet, alone and unraveling, Aurora is trying to survive the storm. But survival becomes complicated when a certain woman enters the picture. Valentina M. Harlow, 37, new to this part of town, new to the school, old to the weight of the world. Once a sweet girl who ached to be seen, now a woman shaped by silence and cold resolve. Sharp-tongued, guarded, emotionally untouchable, manipulative and entirely disinterested in attachments. She is the oldest daughter who walked away-from blood and businesses, from love, from everything that broke her. It's been seven years since she last let herself feel. And she likes it that way. Until Aurora. What begins as uneasy glances and sharp conversations becomes something far harder to ignore. Valentina sees the pain in the girl's eyes. The bruises beneath the surface. And suddenly, the woman who feels nothing is faced with a choice: walk away as she always has, or reach out-risking everything. This is a tale of longing and danger, where hearts shatter, wounds heal, and reopen. Again and again. A story of two women who were never meant to orbit, yet crash into each other anyway. A story of it all. Of longing that feels like ruin. Of aching that feels like home. Of broken things that refuse to stay broken. A slow unraveling, a dangerous pull. A love that could save-or destroy-them both. Maybe they'll piece themselves back together. And set the world on fire, together.

Elowyn Gray likes her world quiet, predictable, and safe. As an autistic young woman who builds her life around routine, she's never expected-or wanted-anything to change. But when a chance encounter with the enigmatic CEO Ms. Monroe sends a flicker through her carefully guarded calm, Elowyn finds herself crossing paths with the woman again and again. Warmth becomes confusion. Distance becomes awareness. And every accidental brush of hands sends an unfamiliar thrill through her, making her unsure if she should explore it a little further... or run away completely.

After suffering a tragic memory loss, Sunnie Rae, also known as Paeng, lived a simple and happy life among the aged in an institution for the elderly. Following her dream to become a successful Master Chef was never a piece of cake. Her godly tongue and stupidly blunt mouth was a gift and a curse at the same time. Hence, she jumped at the chance to study in the city when it presented itself, believing that it was the sign she had been waiting for. Cornelia, with a highly eventful past, was the most feared Professor at their university. The she-devil who has never fallen in love with anyone. Yet, just by looking at this one student in particular who never stops flashing that dumb angelic smile and has honey-colored eyes causes her to get a sensation she doesn't want to exist. Even more so, she is constantly tempted by those alluring lips without even trying. It aggravates her to no end. The history will repeat itself. Will they choose to ignore the burning sentiments they have begun to feel for one another? Or will they continue to fuel the fire? ⋆｡ﾟ☁︎｡⋆｡ ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡⋆ Status: Ongoing Language: Tagalog-English

The arrangement was meant to be clean - pleasure without consequence. Madison Leigh entered it for survival; Valerie Voss, for escape. But the line between transaction and temptation begins to erode, and what starts as control slowly turns into a dangerous kind of devotion. Valerie hides her loneliness behind perfection - an engagement, a company, a flawless mask. Madison hides her purpose behind charm - a name that isn't hers, and a story that can't be told. In their world, love is not a confession. It's a contract written in silence and broken by desire. And when the truth finally surfaces, neither of them will know who's using whom - or who's already fallen. Because temptation was never her weakness. It was her favorite sin.
