Melody-Byrd Chalestine has clawed her way to the top, defying every expectation stacked against her. From a childhood shadowed by absence and struggle to becoming one of the youngest, most powerful attorneys in New York, she's proof that grit and ambition can rewrite destiny.
But when she returns home to Chicago to expand her law firm, the past refuses to stay buried. Her father-once her greatest mystery-offers her an inheritance unlike any other: not a legacy of honor, but an empire built on fast money, dangerous loyalties, and the kind of power that stains everyone it touches.
Success has always fueled Melody, but this-this is different. Once she steps inside, there's no clean way out. Every decision she makes will determine not only her survival, but whether she rises as queen of the empire-or falls as just another casualty of the game.
Enemies or allies. Family or betrayal. The picture-perfect woman the world thought they knew is gone. What's left is a woman ready to claim everything-even if it costs her soul.
Empire is the story of how far one woman will go when ambition collides with the streets, and how the hunger for power can become the deadliest addiction of all.

She's His Mission
COMPLETED ✔️ "I want you to fuck off" I growl back to him and step away. Although I want to pull him further to me. "I rather think you want me to stay?"

Katerina has been outrunning death for five years. Ever since she walked away from her father-and the violent empire he built-she's learned one rule: trust no one. She works alone. No partners. No witnesses. No help. But survival comes at a price. She's forgotten what love feels like. That changes the night of the Mafia Ball. Everything finally seems to fall into place... until it all explodes. Katerina finds herself in the hands of a man with his own dangerous agenda-and no intention of letting her go. Enter Roman Fernandez, a powerful stranger offering protection, partnership... and something she hasn't felt in years: desire. His gorgeous green eyes are hard enough to resist-but his deathly grip and whispered confessions make him impossible to ignore. For the first time, Katerina isn't just fighting for her life-she's fighting to feel again. But just when her new life starts to feel real, her past resurfaces with blood on its hands. And at the center of it is the man she once vowed forever to-the husband she left behind, the only one who knows her and how to break her. He doesn't like to share. And Katerina?

Solicitude
Rated R "Please, faster," I begged but he didn't oblige. "No, my control, my pace," he said. Then, I felt his lips on mine as he continued easing in and out of me. I kissed him with passion, letting him dominate the kiss, knowing that I would never win. Master left my lips as his trailed from my shoulder until my earlobe. He nipped on it while he slowly and seductively whispered, "I want to be deep inside you, I want my cóck so deep that I am fúcking your womb as you scream my name in pleasure, begging for more. I want to fill you with my semen as your tight cúnt stretches and your walls clenching on my long and thick díck while I pound into you senselessly until you forget your name."

Sent to college to become the strategic mind for her generation behind the family's growing empire, she tries to move through the world like a ghost, draped in gothic shadows with secrets too heavy to share but her style is just too much to go unnoticed by judging eyes unscathed. Then she meets Kason through his older brother.
