He looks like he might close the space between us. He looks like he wants to. My brain supplies a dozen sane exits. My body refuses every one. He looks as if he might kiss me. So I do something- exactly the kind of crazy I'm proud of but later I regret. I bite him right on the shoulder. He's in a tank, and my teeth definitely sink in. "What the hell?" he jerks back with a sharp laugh, stumbling slightly. "Did you just bite me?" "I panicked!" I defend, a little too quickly. "You don't have to mark me when I'm already yours, Swan." he says. Excuse me? "What!?" I blink, nearly tripping over my own foot. "What did you just say?" He shrugs, all cool and composed, "I'm already yours." he repeats, like it's nothing. Like it's not the verbal equivalent of a punch to the stomach and a kiss to the soul. My jaw drops. "Are you- are you okay?" "Perfectly," he says, then taps his shoulder. "Just sore though." ✧𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫.✧ ✩Amara Fontaine, a 24 year old ballerina.

#1 in Disappoint Julius Romano, a ruthless mafia boss. Accustomed to killing anyone who opposes him. Known by everyone to be cruel, evil, heartless, and cold. Lily-Grace, a 4-year-old girl. Recently orphaned as a result of Julius's latest conquest. She's a ray of sunshine who comes from a dark place. Lily-Grace is a strict contrast to Julius's cold personality. When he finds himself having to spend more time with the little girl as a result of a rash decision, could this little girl be the family he's needed?

No one ever wanted Riley Knight: not her father, who made sure she didn't have any part in his or his families life; not her mother, who resented her for virtually everything; nor her step father, who has hated her since before she was born. Not even her own big brothers -- the ones who are suppose to love and protect her no matter what -- wanted her. Or so she thought. Riley is the product of an affair -- well her and her twin brother, Rome, are -- but she never had two parents. See, her father has always had "something against" the female sex and therefore, it is weak in his eyes to have a daughter. So he kept Rome and sent Riley away from the second the twins were born. He is the one responsible for turning his six sons against his youngest child and only daughter and, therefore, chaining her to a life of abuse and neglect. But did he succeed? Following her fathers death 7 years ago, Riley's brothers have taken a bigger interest in her and her quality of life, ensuring it was up to par. But all is still not perfect among the Knight siblings. Will Riley finally find her solace among her big brothers? Will they find out about the horrors she faces on a day-to-day basis? Can this family ever become one again ... or do the scars run too deep?

Ailee ate her ice cream licking every bit of it and then Xavier pushed his cup infront of her. She looked confusingly at him. "Eat." "No you eat. Its yours" "Coco I don't really love it." She gasped loudly putting her hand on her mouth. "How can anyone NOT love chocolates?" she said giving him side eyes but accepted his offering nevertheless. He just shook his head watching her eat happily like a kid. ➶➶➶➶➶➶➶➶➶➶ 𝘚𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥.

A Beautiful Mistake First Installation. "No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." 1 Corinthians 10:13 I don't even know how it happened---how I fell for her or why she fascinates me so much. I can't pinpoint when it started, but one day, I just found myself drawn to the very temptation I swore I'd resist. I kept asking myself why... why did I let myself be seduced by someone like her? She has no morals. She's not the kind of woman I ever pictured spending my life with. Yet every time I searched for an answer, one thought kept agonizing me. Maybe it's her smile---the flashiest one I've ever seen. The way it melts away my worries whenever she's near. The way time slips by so effortlessly when I'm with her. Maybe I just sympathize with her because I see her in the wrong light the first time I've known her. Or just maybe I'm just fooling myself. But no matter how much I deny it, I know the truth now. I am... decisively... in love with her. (Book cover photo grabbed from Instagram. Credits for carolinecooperphoto (@carolinecooperphoto) for the original photo.) STARTED: 10/13/23 STATUS: Ongoing

Aurelia Vance has spent her entire life believing she is human-an heiress with fiery red hair, emerald eyes, and a beauty that draws attention she never asked for. But when she is forced to attend Elysian Court University, a secluded academy for supernatural elites, nothing about her life remains ordinary. Whispers follow her. Magic bends around her. And creatures centuries older than humanity stare at her as if she is both wonder... and threat. But none watch her with more hunger than Kael Draven. He is a pureblood vampire-cold, ancient, unfeeling. A creature meant to be untouched by desire. A prince forged from shadows and power. Yet from the moment he sees her, something inside him snaps. Kael becomes obsessed. Captivated. Possessively drawn to the girl who shouldn't exist. He prowls the edges of her steps. Shadows follow her heartbeat. And his midnight eyes burn whenever anyone comes too close. Everyone warns Aurelia to stay away from him. Purebloods do not love. They claim. And they destroy. But the closer she gets to discovering the truth of her bloodline-the truth of the ancient power awakening beneath her skin-the more entangled she becomes with Kael's dark fascination. He calls her dangerous. He calls her fate. He calls her his. And when Aurelia's hidden power threatens to break free, Kael will stop at nothing-nothing-to keep her. Even if it means breaking the world... or her heart.

They say marriages are built on trust and love. Meera's was built on desperation, power... and obsession. Three months ago, Meera Rajput walked into the Singhania mansion as a bride. Now, she's a ghost haunting her own life-trapped in a marriage colder than the grave Yuvaan's first wife is buried in. For five years, Yuvaanash Singhania was the center of her fantasies-dangerously brilliant, mercilessly ambitious, and emotionally untouchable. A man who destroyed empires with a phone call... and rebuilt hers with a single sentence: "Marry me. Or lose everything." She said yes. To save her dying business. To satisfy her unhealthy obsession. To finally claim the man she'd worshipped from afar. But Meera didn't marry Yuvaan. She married his conditions. His control. His grief-soaked shadows and the ghost of a wife she will never outrun. Yuvaanash doesn't touch her. He barely acknowledges her. To him, she's not a partner-she's an obligation, a placeholder, a mother-for-hire to raise his daughter, Siya. Yet beneath his icy silence lies something darker-watchful eyes, unspoken rules, a possessiveness he refuses to name. As if she belongs to him, even when he swears he feels nothing. And Meera? She's drowning. Losing herself piece by piece. Clinging to Siya-the only warmth in a house built on secrets and ashes. But the Singhania mansion hides more than memories. Its walls whisper lies. Its master hides sins. And Meera slowly realizes: She isn't just trapped in a loveless marriage. She's trapped with a man whose darkness runs deeper than she ever imagined. And the most terrifying part? She's beginning to crave it. START: 29/03/2026
