March 9, 2019: Now a published story, available in ebook and paperback on Amazon (free on KU!). The three first chapters will remain on Wattpad.

***
Short-tempered Lana Martin is a workaholic consultant based in Tokyo. Not one to turn down a challenge, she accepts the indecent proposal of her martial arts instructor to become his submissive in a dynamic that tests her resilience. Spreading like wildfire, their affair lights up another blaze, this time between Lana and Honda's wife, the sophisticated socialite Yuki. Fearless, Lana embraces what her two masters offer her.

Yet, unbeknown to her, their powerful desire rouses ancient Japanese demons who have waited for decades to claim their prizes. Lana must confront the enemy eating her from within, while pulling back Honda from the edge of madness. Yuki's unwavering strength will keep them sane - but for how long? A two-edged sword, the trio's fiery passion will either destroy them or be the key to their salvation.

Miss, Do I Know You? by badgalres

A stranger to her own existence, Kayla moves to a small town with the hope of finding comfort in fresh starts. But as she steps inside the unfamiliar classroom on the first day, standing in front of the class is a mysteriously familiar face, one that rouses memories of a time before everything had gone awry. With past baggage catching up in the most intrusive ways, she stumbles upon unexpected pleasures that breathe life into her soul -- comfort of new friendships, rekindling of old ones frayed by time and circumstance, unconditional love of found family, and the blossoming of a beautiful yet complicated bond between two hesitant souls. And when fate starts asking for more, people are forced to dig deep within. ────── "This book was like a warm hug, and I might believe in love again." "I would give everything, especially my soul, to have the opportunity to read this book for the first time again." "You perfectly portraying every emotion, even causing everything to come to life in my thoughts so vividly on a level I assumed was impossible, actually blows my mind." "This book has ruined Wattpad forever for me because everything else seems too plain now, too shallow." ────── CW: Drug abuse, harsh language, sexual content, mention of self-harm, mention of suicide. ────── Started in January 2018. Re-published in November 2022. First draft finished in April 2023. Editing on hold.

Second Ave Offices: The Time In Between (WLW) by Sora-The-Runaway

This is book two of a novella series, mostly consisting of shorter stories of 50k-100k word count. Fiona Kokkinos is a third generation Greek immigrant whose family came over for a work and land opportunities in the late 1800s. Now in the present, she is a successful therapist and works out of a building sharing some kind of comic book company, which tends to garner her attention relatively often. However, not for the reason she ever believed possible. After a chance encounter with one of the employees at the comic book suites on the first floor, Fiona finds herself spiraling toward something she never saw coming and must decide if she can truly, wholeheartedly open herself up to her life's new, seemingly boundless possibilities. Kanda Boom-Nam moved to the US nearly six months ago and despite it being a whirlwind of emotion and loss when first arriving, now she has found her own. She has everything working for her. She has a lucrative career as an artist for Hiyama Studios, an studio apartment that was all her own and something she'd never had in Thailand with all her siblings, and there was no shortage of gorgeous biking and hiking trails in Seattle. She has it all, yet something was missing and she soon discovers it in the form of a strangely introverted woman who catches her fancy by complete happenstance. Fiona, contrite over her ethics in taking Kanda as a client when she so blatantly flirts with her regularly, must navigate this newly burgeoning sensation before Kanda leaves her world forever in the form of one dilemma neither anticipated even more than falling for one another. ⚠️TW: Contains elements of severe anxiety disorder. ❤ Mature/Erotic Content ⚢ Lesbian Romance/Lit 🖋 1st Draft. 2nd Coming Soon. As of 06/25/2024 I am working on making this series into a possible webcomic as well, so for those of you who like GL, keep your eyes peeled for updates on my Instagram.

We follow Ivy as she returns to London having been offered a job at Risk, the Kink Club owned by Zack Coles. Ivy does't do love or long-term relationships. She's Sexy. Smart and Sassy. Doesn't like labels and refuses to conform and working at Risk has opened up a whole new world of possibilities. But still with all that sex on tap, she's missing something, but can't quite put her finger on what...until she meets her best friends new employees, Josh and Alex. Josh Taylor and Alex Danes have been best friends since...well, since they could talk. Josh is a self declared introvert and geek. He's comfortable with his bisexuality but honestly lacks experience with either sex. And Alex, well even Alex isn't sure what Alex is and is ashamed to admit even to his best friend what really turns him on. And neither are prepared when Ivy lands in their laps...literally. And decides what they both need is a little of her kind of sex education. Which will lead both men questioning what they think about themselves and each other. But will Ivy's world bring chaos to their calm if not boring lives, or something else... that all three weren't prepared for? 👀 👉🏼Note: This book will contain MF & MMF & MM & FF sexual scenes and revolving around a kink club then we're gonna see some BDSM action. So if you're a sensitive soul - it won't be your thing! Oh and if you hate sharing/poly fun, then its definitely not for you!
