[Edited Version] "We only read erotica," Fiona said with a straight face. "Come again?" I asked, clutching my copy of Jane Eyre to my chest. I suddenly felt like a girl who'd come to a fancy-dress party dressed as herself. "Oh, come on, Janelle," Fiona smiled, pulling my hand and leading me into the room. The light in the library was dimmed to a dull glow, and then I heard a man's voice reading: "I entered her from behind, squeezing the taut skin of her buttocks and driving myself even deeper, until..." Somewhere in the dark, I heard moans of pleasure and the unmistakable yowl of a climax... [Cover by @headfullofstars]

What's a penny worth? Do you ignore the ones lying on the sidewalk because they're not worth picking up? For the shy and clumsy Norah, a penny will become so much more than a simple cent. Every morning she enters the elevator of her office building and hides among the throng of professionals sandwiching inside. From behind their shoulders, she's safe to hopelessly stare at Cole Collins... or at least get a glimpse of the back of his well-trimmed hair---the hair she dreams of running her fingers through. When a loud and obnoxious office Temp decides to barge her way into Norah's life, they develop a friendship that might be exactly what she needs to change up her luck with love. And it all starts with picking up a penny.

People say age is nothing but a number. In a time where men seek young trophy wives and women are applauded for being cougars, it was inevitable that Tristan Lee and Hildy Willow would cross paths on a summer afternoon. Their fifteen-year age gap meant something when Hildy was just a kid, but as adults, it becomes a game of age. ***PLEASE NOTE, I WROTE THIS STORY IN 2014, AND IT NEEDS EDITING... BADLY. LOL. I WILL GET TO IT SOMEDAY :)

[Edited Version] “You ever think about letting your hair loose?” Ashton asked, his breath kissing Amor’s neck as they waltzed. “My hair’s fine,” Amor snapped in annoyance. Ashton chuckled. “That’s not what I meant.” His hands slowly hiked up the hem of her dress and her breath caught. “What are you doing?” She uneasily glanced around at the dancing couples. “Giving a new meaning to dirty dancing,” he replied quietly. And he entered her. [Cover by @zarawhite]

[Edited Version ● Alternate Ending] "Colin? I feel so awful lying to you so I have to tell you what happened..today," Frankie blurted out, nervously cracking her knuckles as she stared at her boyfriend from one side of the living room. Colin's bright blue eyes danced. "What is it, sweetheart?" "I...I bumped into my ex-husband in the elevator today." "And?" Frankie exhaled. "And we had sex. In the elevator." There was an interminable silence before Colin smiled. "We'll work through this, honey. Don't worry." "Work through this?" she spluttered in disbelief. "How? How can we, when all I want is for him to do it again? And again, and again, and again, and..." She trailed off, sighing. It pained her to see Colin's hurt expression, but then again, it pained her to know that Konstantin had made her climax in that elevator more times than Colin had in their whole relationship... *cover by @hartlings*
