Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him.

Of Blood and Duty by WhiteGoldFangs

Wattpad Exclusive! Nearly beaten to death, a man wakes up in a place he does not know. Neither can he remember how he even ended up there. Waking up in the middle of a road he discovers a world of pain only to drift off into unconsciousness again. His body having been crushed and broken beyond his wildest dreams. Falling out of consciousness from the pain, he later wakes up in a bed. A new place he does not know, but being looked after by someone. A woman. Why was he in the care of this beautiful but strange person? How had he ended up in her care? Why had she taken him in and why was she and everyone else so guarded around him? Determined to make his way back home, wherever that may be, the man soon realizes that things are not as easy as he first had thought. Learning to fit in with the people who took him in at the brink of death, he learns that a war is raging between two kingdoms, and which one he belongs to, he cannot remember... if he belongs with to any of them. All he has to remind him of his life before is a sword with a crest of two lions on its pommel... and a woman named Jade who screams for him in his sleep. This is a spin off of The Prince's Choice and Hunted Queen. I recommend reading those two before this one to get the best experience possible!

⚠ Warning sexual content!!! ⚠ *Book 1 of the "Unexpected Lovestory" Series* She loved her husband more than her last breath. She was blinded, deafened and suffocated in his love. She gave him everything but he was a receiver, never a giver. The only things he gave was confusion. He gave manipulation and he gave her mind the masqueraded ideals of his "undeniable love" when the only person he loved was himself. He had plagued her mind, so much so that when he suggested an open relationship he made her believe it was her idea but she never wanted that. She wanted him and only him. He wanted her and everyone else he could get. But that all changed when Tobias Wrexler walked in... ©️ Copyright 2020 Demii Jada R. ©️ All Rights Reserved.

However, hidden doubts, past traumas, and a lack of open communication threaten to undermine their bond, putting their BDSM love story at risk. Clark's new job in a video game company fuels his ambition to eventually have his own. As he dedicates himself to his career aspirations, he becomes consumed by the demands and pressures of his work. Meanwhile, Ruby tirelessly works towards her dream of owning Moonshine, facing the trials and tribulations that come with entrepreneurial pursuits. Despite the hurdles they face individually, they find solace in their unwavering love and support for one another. However, beneath the surface, doubts and insecurities start to emerge. Ruby questions whether she is truly "wife material" due to her past behavior and the mistakes she made before their engagement. These doubts lead to an internal struggle as she tries to reconcile her self-perception with the reality of the love and commitment Clark has shown her. Simultaneously, Clark is haunted by a past trauma stemming from a roleplay gone wrong, which resurfaces and hinders their intimate connection. The memories and anxieties from his kidnapping cast a shadow on their relationship, causing a strain that becomes increasingly difficult to navigate. As tension mounts and their inability to communicate effectively becomes apparent, their BDSM love story hangs in the balance. Both Clark and Ruby must confront their individual fears and past traumas, finding the courage to share their vulnerabilities and fears. Through open dialogue, trust, and emotional transparency, they embark on a journey of healing, rediscovering the strength of their love and the power of their connection.
