Cherry || Andy Barber x Babysitter OC by youdontknowmegls

My goal for this summer was to get a job, earn some money, and go back to college. Just some extra cash to support my addiction to books and overpriced iced coffee. Babysitting for the Barbers seemed like the best idea: great family, nice kid and salary higher than the average. What could go wrong? He's married, my boss, and twice my age. Nothing screams forbidden more than our situation. Despite everything, we can't say no to temptation. 🍒 This is a 18+ fanfiction. You can find all trigger warnings in the prologue. Disclaimer: in this universe, Andy Barber is 42 and the FMC is 22. He is also married. *IN THIS AU THE EVENTS OF JACOB'S TRIAL DON'T TAKE PLACE*

The Billionaire's Pregnant Ex Wife | ✔️ by kxshintia

(WARNING: This is my first story btw. Some parts may be cringe or toxic, but I don't feel like changing anything at the moment) I watched as he frustratingly ran his hand through his jet black hair as he let out an loud sigh. "Axarii I do not have the patience for your childishness. I can no longer trust you therefore we're getting an divorce." He stated. That just ended my mood. "What! That girl doesn't even look like me, are you fucking blind? My boobs are not even that big! Just imagine Winston and I together, that's impossible." I screeched out and grabbed onto him. I mentally cursed at myself as I felt tears threatening to escape from my hideous eyes. I'm an ugly crier. He roughly pulled his arm out of my grasp. "I want you and your things out of here by tonight and at the company to sign the papers in the morning." "You can't be serious! How can you not believe me, your own wife over some damn fake pictures?" I looked at him only to see him blankly staring at me, not responding. I roughly wiped my eyes before any tears could escape. He would not see me cry. "I'll go but you'll just have to throw away or burn the clothes that you bought for me because I don't need anything from you." I mumbled as I turned away and headed for the stairs. "I don't need a wife that claims she has love for me when all she wants is to be around other men instead of her own husband." I continued to walk up the stairs, not bothering to reply to what he said, not bothered to wipe the tears knowing that he cannot see them. **** #2 ex - March 2024 #12 dominate - September 2023 #6 funny - November 2024 #1 darkness - November 2023 #5 plottwist - November 2023 #2 exwife- November 2024

The Billionaire's Mask (Book #1) - Unedited Version by margarettegrey

Highest Rank: #8 in Romance "You must never enter Master Brandon's bedroom, nor his study. He's not a very patient man. He allows no one in his room. You can do whatever you want in the house, but never go inside his personal space unless you are permitted to do so. Do you understand?" He is mysterious and brilliant, wealthy and prominent, but no single person has seen him in person. Well, no one should see him-that's one of his many rules. No one can touch him either; that's another rule. Except for me because I have broken every rule. Now I'm extremely drawn to him. He is peculiar in many ways, and his beauty is beyond physical. But the Master has demons of his own, and chased by his brutal past. Suddenly, we've become the reflection of each other's nightmares. I realize that the Master and I are not so different. Is this newly found bond just another uncertain fate that could deepen our wounds, or is it finally going to be our redemption?

Want & Need by CJLaurence

**This is the 2022 version - the most up to date and edited version** Falling for your boss is never a good idea-especially if he's emotionally unavailable... I consider myself average, at best. My boss, on the other hand, is anything but. Paul Connors is handsome and wealthy, with an animal magnetism that turns my legs to butter. Sure, we flirt at work, but I'm ready to elevate things to the next sizzling level. After a few steamy encounters tangled in the sheets, I can't help but long for the comfort of an emotional connection. But Paul adamantly refuses. I try to settle for a 'friends with benefits' arrangement, until a handsome stranger swoops in offering all the things Paul won't. Love. Passion. Monogamy. Scott Adams promises it all, and more. Torn between my head and my heart, I need to choose what I want my future to look like. Casual passion, or family and love? Just when I think I've made my choice, dark secrets are exposed that threaten everything I thought I knew. Faced with tragedy, I find myself clutching to my slipping sanity, and relying on the one person I never thought I would...

Forever Night Stand by adelwang

My luck with a guy has been sucks for a while. My friend told me that maybe I need to try a new way. I always take everything seriously in relationships. So she suggested that I try a one night stand. Maybe that will break the curse of my love life. So, when the chance comes of course I'm going to try it. But my friend failed to mention: do not have a one night stand with your co-worker who apparently will become your boss for two weeks. Or... do not have a one night stand with someone who can make your heart does a cha-cha dance whenever you see his dimples (this is my weakness) or his cocky smile or his blue eyes... or... um... can I say everything about him? Is it possible? Oh, and top of it, my one night stand trapped (yes trapped) me to come to his family gathering as his girlfriend. Can I handle this hot man? God knows I can't even handle his dimples. First chapter published on August 17th, 2020

His Fake fiancé by letsomebodygo15

Needs to be heavily edited lmao (first wrote when I was like 15) Now, I'm alone with the beast . He stares into my soul causing me to gulp. "You're going to do something for me." He rounds his desk, coming to a stop in front of me. His body towering over my seated self. I look forward facing his crotch, the bulge in his pants making itself known. I make eye contact with him, an evil smirk, he says one word, "suck." .... Grayson Black is the definition of playboy. Unfortunately when owning a large and successful company, image matters especially when your only 27, so he decided to 'commit' himself to a relationship to prove that he's changed his ways. Except the woman he 'commits' himself to is his assistant. When feelings begin to grow on one end and there's a secret surprise on the way, what happens? #15 in romance #1 in employee #2 CEO #1 baby #1 fake love #1 in love life

FALLEN by zendea14

"Sorry I'm late, I stopped for coffee and bought you-" The ice coffee in my hand quickly hits the floor the moment I turn the corner, entering Ben's office. From the way he's standing as he has his back turned to me, to his physique. I know that my eyes are not deceiving me, it's him. "Hello Aurora." He says turning around and looking straight into my eyes, as if piercing my heart. ______ It has been thirteen years since they last crossed paths, last spoke or even set their eyes on each other and in those years Aurora has kept her heart locked away in a cold, and impenetrable fortress. To protect herself from anyone who'd even try to hurt her again. Yet all it takes is one look into her eyes for him to bulldoze his way back into her life. Cy has been gone for a long time, can he really handle Aurora as she is now? Or will she prove to be a far too difficult opponent.

When those two pink lines appeared on the pregnancy test a few weeks later he had already moved on and you decided to raise your child alone. But years later fate brings you back into Kylo's orbit and now you have a four year old little girl and a lot of explaining to do to a man who seems more enemy than lover. -------- modern day kylo ren au. 18+. mature story with mature/dark themes that are not suited to all ages. tws are posted below and I try to include them in all chapters, however please note that there may be several triggering themes in this story, I urge you not to read if you are not comfortable with any of the following criteria.

Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt) by fanoshkaflippo

Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book. It shows you how they both work on changing for the better, while trying to overcome the obstacles in their relationship and fight for each other till the end. ** Warning!! Some chapters contain sexual scenes, but there's always a warning at the head of the chapter. Do not read them if you're under 18.** * Also, please beware that this story contains a lot of swearing.
