"We shouldn't be doing this," I gasp as the heat spreads like wildfire across my streaming core. "Then tell me to stop Gray," Seth reveals my black lace bra, he dips his head and kisses my collarbone. I murmur for him to leave but in the midst of it, I pull him closer. "Mean it, sweetheart." I flutter my eyes open, his ocean blue eyes shimmer with arousal and worshipping dominance. He's the first man to ever look at me like that, to look at me as though he would willingly worship me on his knees and receive great pleasure from it. I bite my swollen lip, "I can't." ━━━━━━━━ One moment I was a spinster with a net-worth of millions and a few, and the next moment, I was a spinster having an affair with my best friend's stepson.

The Men Next Door by wildfirehoney

✅ Complete ✅ When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment. One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention. What could go wrong? ☲☲☲☲☲ ☆Brooks☆ My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly -- like she was scared the moment would pass away forever if she let another millisecond go by -- and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her. Something about my touch must have given her courage. ♡Campbell♡ The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train. I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just their new neighbor. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret. ☆Luca☆ Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly -- like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea -- and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy. And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat. ☲☲☲☲☲ Featured by: 📙 @Wattpad • Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) • Endless Reading Mode 🧡 (Jan 2024) • Summer in the City 🥵 (June 2023) 📕 @Romance • New Adult (June 2024) 📘 @Ambassadors • Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) Awards: 🥈 Romance runner-up (The Prime Awards 2023)

"I don't like your hands on them." He grumbles and I smirk. I already knew the answer. "I do it for you, Enzo." I remind him as I move my mouth closer to him. "Only me."

She was Hunter's Prey. ─────────────────────────────── I fail to suppress the whimper that manages to escape my lips. "So scared," he whispers. "Yet so fucking wet." "I...I'm not wet..." He leans in, the tip of his nose trailing along the side of my face as his grip around my throat tightens and he lifts me off the mattress by my neck. He slides his free hand into my panties, depositing two fingers into my core. The coolness of his rings prompts a loud moan from me before he pulls them out. "Liar," he growls, glossing the seams of my lips with my own arousal. "Now, open your mouth, bambi." ⚠ TW: This book is a dark romance containing mature themes such as graphic violence, murder, mentions of abuse & self-harm, strong language, age-gap relationship and explicit sexual themes.

NO DOUBT [bwwm] by bunnygirlsenpaistwin

『 𝙉𝙊 𝘿𝙊𝙐𝘽𝙏 』 What happens when a 22-year old lands a job in a restaurant, and meets the owner's son. Excerpt from book: 《 His voice was low, raspy, laced with something of desire, maybe, but all I could hear was lust of the most unchaste kind. "You know, you drive me crazy,... so fucking insane. And it might just be my madness talking, but I have a feeling you want me." He approached, closing the gap between our two bodies. I tried taking a step back, but only felt the cold kitchen counter against my warm trembling palms. "Do you want me, dolcezza?" He whispered against my ear as his hands found their way to my waist. The heat between my legs was insufferable, and my pounding heart drummed against the walls of my chest. In my head, it was clear, I wanted him, but him, of all people? He lowered his hands to my hips and pulled me impossibly closer to him. I let out a shaky breath, that came out as a soft moan. Shit. "Then be a good girl, and say it." 》 ❦❦❦ Read trigger warnings first. I do NOT own any of the pictures or the music displayed in this book.

Her feelings for Dimitri grows as she's forced to live with him, but her boyfriend, Mark, is someone her mother would be proud to see her with. Will her dreams change? Will she change? Excerpt: "Ask me nicely." His sultry voice twists my stomach in the best of ways. "Wha- what do you mean?" I mentally kick myself for allowing his power to rule me. This only builds his ego. He leans forward towards my face, his nose barely touching mine. "What is it that you want, piccola." He whispers. What did I want? Oh! That's right, I wanted to leave. "I would like to leave." I take a step back from him so I can focus.
