"Welcome to your own personal hell darling," that's what she said, but did she believe it? Mastered to manipulate, finding a way back to normality was what she trying, but she got him instead, trying to leave her past behind, striving to believe, to trust, to love again. She was the main character of his story, she was his Shana. "Try not to burn yourself in there," that's what he replied with, he was the redemption she craved, and for him, she was the love he couldn't sacrifice, she brought a war along with her, daring him to step close, daring him to touch her and reimburse for it. But the second he settled his eyes on her, he knew he was ruined, he was her idyll. He was her Xavier. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• But what happens when the devil side of both interacts first? "No." "Yes," I whispered, his lips tingling mine, eyes blazing even more at my defiance, with both outrage and yearning. "There will be consequences," he whispered back, moving his lips and gently grazing the sweet spot he found with patience, I shuddered as I tilted my neck for him unpretentiously. "Do I look like I care?" My voice was no more than a murmur when I tugged his hair to separate us, our lips brushing each other as I smirked at him and finally settled a soft kiss on his lips. And when I slowly unraveled "I gave you something to handle while I go on my date, I consent you to imagine me while jerking off, darling," I knew, I knew that I was f*cked when I was abruptly pushed stomach first into the counter, his hand clasping my neck to keep any possibility of my moments to himself, I knew I was going to be f*cked, literally. #2 in pure soul 27-12-2020 #1 onenightstand 7-03-2021 #1 culture 20-06-2021 #1 interracial 29-11-2021 #7 drama 7-07-2021 #9 hate 7-07-2021 #4 love-hate relationship 10-11-2021 #2 possessive 9-01-2022 #3 busines

She was not born a lady, she was made one. She was not born into wealth, she was given it. Laila is a woman of the king, and she fell in love with him, the day she first met him. Whether it was the kindness he'd shown her or the charming face and body he has, the attraction was there from the start. But King Stephan is not one to reciprocate such feelings, as Laila is one of the ten women he has in his castle. If only there was a way they could grow closer...secrets, lies, pain, war...all of which tears people apart, could actually be what brings them together. *** Turning to face him, she sees his lips curling into a smile, making her heart warm and fuzzy. He slowly puts his arm around her, giving her time to refuse. When she doesn't, he pulls her against his chest. Leaning into her he whispers, "You called me by my name, back in the hallway." "I...I apologize-" "Don't...I like it." Laila feels her core clench upon hearing his words. He tilts her chin laying a kiss on her neck. Biting back her moan, she closes her eyes, feeling him suck on her skin. "Mmh!" Stephan feels her arousal placing his lips on hers, his hand traveling down pushing up her dress as he caresses her skin.* Cover by @Sachi_Stark ! ♥

*WARNING! This story contains mature content.* When her boyfriend cheats on her, Rory Warren moves to a new flat. She gets a flatmate who becomes a very good friend of her. But that flatmate has a very sexy, very charming and very wealthy brother who turns Rory's world upside down. Rory is a weak woman. Braden Campbell makes her even weaker. He's a controlling businessman and a perfect definition of a womanizer. He doesn't do relationships. His past has taught him to be tough, unforgiving and cold. He doesn't have a word 'commitment' in his dictionary. He works hard. He fucks even harder. Rory and Braden make a pact, an arrangement. They want to stick to it, follow their rules. But one can only bear so much before bursting. It's a game of two and the rule is simple: if one of them falls in love, it's game over. This is not a story about a perfect relationship. It's a story where a man wants it all and a woman who gives it all to him. Game on, people! Or is it really just a game? Only time will tell. Tick-tock
