In your small, conservative town where appearances matter more than truth, you've been the quiet one. The good girl. The one who helps in Sunday school, sings in the choir, and keeps her knees closed and eyes down like you're supposed to. But everything starts to unravel the summer Lewis Pullman comes home. He's the preacher's son-older, quiet, once a golden boy who left for seminary and returned looking weathered, with sadness in his eyes and hands that tremble when they graze yours. Everyone here speaks about him in whispers now, about why he left, why he came back. You're assigned to help him lead the youth theater program at the church, and soon you're spending your afternoons under fluorescent lights and lingering gazes, rewriting scripture into scripts, pretending not to feel the weight of him behind you when he leans in too close. You're supposed to be above temptation. He's supposed to know better. But in the humid silence of your hometown, you both break in secret-slowly, beautifully, and with the kind of hunger that leaves bruises. A story of unspoken desires, quiet rebellion, and the ache of two people who were never allowed to want what they do. Thank you to @sturniolofan56 for the stunning request that inspired this story.

[+18] Lyanna Morgan has always been good at hiding the truth-until the truth puts her on the edge of a courtroom and face to face with a man who sees through everything. Javier Peña isn't the kind of lawyer who asks questions. He doesn't care about innocence. Only control. Strategy. Winning. But something about her ruins that. What begins as strategy spirals into a dangerous obsession-one laced with control, defiance, and a kind of desire that doesn't play fair. In the courtroom, they're fighting for her freedom. Behind closed doors? He's teaching her what it means to be owned. He was only supposed to help her. But she's going to be the only thing he can't let go of.

Joel Miller doesn't belong in the city, but he's here anyway, working, raising his daughter, and keeping to himself. He's a man built for fixing things, not people. But when new ties start pulling him in, he's forced to confront what he's been avoiding: the life still waiting for him.

[18+] When a billionaire and a young cellist meet, sparks fly! Harry Castillo meets Catherine Ainsworth, the prodigy, and kept her locked in his memory... until they meet again five years later. It's safe to say fate caught up with him just in time. (Fanfiction of Materialists 2025 dir. Celine Song)

"You want me to pretend to be your girlfriend?" "No, I want you to pretend to be someone I could fall in love with." Rachel has worked for billionaire CEO Harry Castillo for three years - efficiently, quietly, invisibly. He's powerful, distant, impossibly guarded. And she likes it that way. Their boundaries are clear. Their dynamic? Cold, but respectful. But when a scandal threatens his company's future, Harry needs a solution, fast. The PR team has a wild idea : stage a relationship to silence the press. But Harry doesn't trust anyone - not the media, not the public, and especially not strangers. Except Rachel isn't a stranger. She's safe. Discreet. Controlled. And now she's his fake girlfriend. What starts as a business arrangement slowly unravels into something much more dangerous: stolen glances, long silences, and feelings neither of them can afford to admit. No kisses. No confessions. Not yet. Because the most complicated part of falling in love with someone who's pretending... is realizing neither of you are pretending anymore. A painfully slow-burn, sharply written romance full of tension, vulnerability, and the impossibility of keeping your heart out of a contract. Harry Castillo X female character. Disclaimer : The storyline is inspired from the movie "Materialists" especially the character of Harry Castillo who isn't mine. Credits to their rightful owner. I only own Rachel, the twists in the storyline as well as what surrounds the female character (characters, story...)
