Do you ever really know how to be an adult?
Or do we all just pretend to know what we are doing our whole lives?
This is the same question that passes through Adaline Blounts mind every day.
Adaline is now almost 25, but spends most of her time working and taking care of her disabled mother.
She pretends to be fine to everyone around her including her best friend Kayla, but she has a dark past and a father who is looking for her...
How long can someone pretend to be fine before they break?
And If no one is around, does the shatter make a sound?

Merciless (18+)(GxG)
"Is this what you wanted? To be taken from behind on my desk like a slut?" She demanded, tightening her grip around my hair, pulling my head back. "Look at me, Eden." My eyes met hers, and I almost shivered as I was met with the undeniable lust behind them that replaced her anger mere seconds ago. "I just like pissing you off, I guess." I smiled innocently, alluding to her previous question. Her eyes darkened, before letting go of my hair and grabbing my throat instead. I felt her fingertips trail over over my soaked underwear, and a moment later she brought one of my hands to my core, instructing me to hold the lace fabric to the side, as she began to slowly circle my wetness, before dipping two fingers inside me without warning. My eyes rolled back, a moan escaping my lips as I whispered her name. "God, my name sounds like a sin on your lips." She purred over me, curling her fingers inside me, while thumbing my dripping core. - An innocent waitress, a flirt of a mafia boss, and a relentless string of...well, problems. A fun little story to read, very gay, with plenty of romance, as well as - dare I say - humor. 🏅RANKINGS🏅 #2 lesbian #7 wlw
