Cole
Arrogant. Cocky. Womanizer.
I was all of that and more, which is why she wanted to forget me.
We'd shared an unforgettably hot night at the Ritz, while the kings and queens of Manhattan's marketing industry partied a few floors down.
She thought she'd gotten rid of me and moved on.
We worked for rival marketing firms, but little did she know that fate would throw a wrench in her life when a major client decided to make us work together on a blockbuster project.
My job was to eliminate her: get her fired, or be fired myself.
Unfortunately, I'd forgotten how tempting those curves and that spitfire attitude could be.
Now, I have to decide: a surefire path to a killer career, and the entire industry at my feet, or winning her.
Lucy
Those sexy eyes, washboard abs, and that devilish smile fooled me once.
This time, I'm immune to his charms, to his touch, and to his velvety voice as he whispers sweet nothings in my ear.
My job is to ensure the client is happy with our campaign.
If I succeed, I'll finally get that sweet promotion I've been dying for.
Otherwise, I'm ruined.
I can't let him distract me.
He broke my heart once.
This time, the tables are turned.

I never stood a chance. Not when Areston De L'Aquila set his sights on me. He's more than just a predator cloaked in Brioni-he is the abyss. Cold, calculated, and deadly in every way that matters. But the moment our eyes lock, it's over. I should run, I know I should. But there's something in him that calls to the darkest parts of me, the ones I've kept hidden, even from myself. He's a storm I can't outrun. Dangerous. Alluring. A perfect nightmare wrapped in a sinfully tempting package. He doesn't just see me. He consumes me and peels back my layers until all that's left is the raw truth neither of us is prepared to face. We're drawn together by an invisible force-our scars, our secrets, our shared thirst for control. But with Areston, it's a fine line between passion and destruction. And once you step over it, there's no going back. You only get stuck deeper and deeper in his abyss to the point where there's nothing left in you.

He slowly approaches me and my breathing begins to stagger. "Awe. Are you nervous, baby?" He asks me with a smirk and I glare at him. He rubs my legs before grabbing my knees and spreading them apart slowly. He looks in between my legs and groans before looking up at in eyes. He moves his hands up to my waist and then to my bra. He pulls my bra off and my breast pour out of them. He looks up at me before speaking. "I'm gonna ask you some questions, if you do not answer the way I want, you will receive punishment." He says and I huff. "I need for you to understand why you are getting this punishment. So please tell me, why?" He says. "Because I threaten your dominance." I say mockingly.

Who Knows?
"Watch it." "Watch it," I mock him in a whisper, feeling brave. Suddenly, he gets up from his stool and stalks towards me. His large frame towering over my sitting form. I swallow the last bit of my pancakes slowly, my eyes wandering up his body until they stop at his face. He seems displeased. Very much so. His hand grabs the part where my head and neck connect and he slowly but firmly tilts my head back, his fingers tangling in my hair. His skin is rough on mine but still oddly comforting. "What did you just say?" He asks, each of his words pronounced slowly and precisely. "I-I-I j-just.. I was j-just joking." I barely choke out. "You were just joking, huh?" "Mhm." I nod, my head subconsciously leaning into his touch my eyes closing on their own accord. His thumb caresses my cheekbone and I never want him to stop. I have never had a male being make me feel this good before. Don't get me wrong I did kiss a few people but it never felt as good as what he is doing right now. "Romy?" "Yes," I breathe out, biting my lip. His thumb is quick in pulling it from between my teeth. "Nevermind." He rushes out, detaching his hand from my face. Hey Guys! I hope you enjoy my story.

Indecorous
(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right. Her and her best friend, Aviary, lived together in a cute little apartment off the central part of the city, yearning to create new memories and important moments. Amelia always lived for the moments, taking in every little detail and savoring it like it was her favorite meal. She was an optimist, hoping to change peoples lives with her dreams. James Vallette was a 34-year-old CEO, building his company from dirt with the help of his brother. He was a realist, not really having time to deal with dreams or even love. He knew this the night he laid eyes on Amelia. It was only casual; what harm could a one-night stand do? Oh yeah, he's her dad's boss.Complete

Mr. Sexy, Book 1, The Hardcore Series
The one thing I've been missing walks into my life. A man with blue-green eyes that sets my soul on fire. I sure didn't see Mr. Sexy in my stars. Ironically, I meet the man of my dreams in Alabama. He's a handsome helicopter pilot who moved into 9G down the hall. Our chemistry is off-the-charts HOT! He thinks I'm a sweet, southern girl. And for now, that's enough. There is no reason to share my secret yet. It serves no purpose for him to know I'm the hottest act on The Vegas Strip. A million-dollar diva with a show of my own. Experience has proven that information changes men. They stereotype me, and I am not a 'sex worker.' I'm a dancer who sells the suggestion of seduction. As a matter of fact, my Rule #1 is: No touching. So, my game plan is simple. Seduce him. See if this magical feeling between us is love. If the fireworks explode into something real, I'll share my secret then. But if the fireworks implode, there was no need for him to have known. Time to test Mr. Sexy's desire. Is it lust or love?Complete
Lusting After Lucifer (18+) ☑
This is an erotic romance. Recommended 18+! Completed. Excerpt: His mouth was back on mine in an instant, the door behind us rattling loudly as he thrust against me. "Does the geriatric kiss you like this?" He mumbled against me as his teeth nipped at my already swollen lips. I pulled back once more, my heighted state of emotions, my anger taking over. "What if I said I don't want you?" A devilish grin took over as one of his hands slid along my thigh, under my skirt, his fingers tracing over the soft, damp material of my underwear. His mouth moved down to my neck, nipping at the juncture between my shoulder and neck. "I would call you a fucking liar." I tried to bite back the moan as his teeth skimmed my neck, before sinking in hard, his fingers pushing under the edge of my panties. He hesitated for a moment, waiting for me to stop him. I didn't want him to stop. One finger slid over my folds before pushing into my entrance, sinking in deep. He groaned in pleasure, his erection twitching against my core as his finger began to move. "I can feel just how much you want me." **** Lucian Vanderbrooke has been labeled many things in his lifetime. Bad boy, asshole, troublemaker, pornstar, the list goes on. He is nicknamed Lucifer for a reason. He gets who he wants, when he wants. Everything changes when he sets his sights on his twin sisters' best friend, his childhood friend who he has always had a love/hate relationship with. Abigail Davidson is a determined redheaded spitfire who doesn't take attitude from anyone. She has secretly been in love with her best friend's brother for her entire life, even though every sensible thought she has is telling her to hate the arrogant asshole. It is a love that she can't act on. A love that must remain hidden. That pact they made when they were 16, doesn't mean anything... right? Standalone spin off from the Distorted Windows Trilogy. Can be read on its own but it is recommended to read the others first.Complete
