Gianni runs a local bar affectionately known to New York's finest who occupy the precinct across from it as the Watering Hole.  When he inherited it from old man Davey, it seemed appropriate to officially register the business as the Watering Hole.  

There's a radio that's always tuned to the police scanner just in case because even on duty cops have to eat.  The Watering Hole's clientele are as choosy as it's owner.

So come have a pint or a cocktail or two.  Just don't expect a wine list.  We only import ales here.  Quench your thirst, drown your woes, but leave your worries at the door.  Don't forget to take them on your way out.  If you should slip and whisper your secrets, don't worry, the bartender and the walls have plenty secrets of their own that no one has discovered yet.  

Welcome to the Watering Hole.  We got drinks, food, and a few things that aren't even on the menu.

I nod my head in response, as I couldn't think straight enough to form a full sentence. I felt a searing pain along with a loud slap, as his hands collides with my ass in a spank. " I asked a question." He growled. It takes a while for my brains to process his words, trying to remember his question has proven to be the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, right at the moment. The way his fingers slid down my neck and rested on the curve of my breast wasn't helping, as it made it even difficult to think. I could barely remember my name let alone his question as he squeeze my breast over my dress and slid his finger in and out of my wetness. " Pl-ease." I plead " Please what? " " I can- can't." I stuttered. "Uhn.. you can't even take my fingers, and yet you want my cock." He mocked. *********** Working at a three star bakery, a talented baker, Valerie Davis's life turns upside down, as trouble seemed to be rolling up like a dust in a summertime.

(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right. Her and her best friend, Aviary, lived together in a cute little apartment off the central part of the city, yearning to create new memories and important moments. Amelia always lived for the moments, taking in every little detail and savoring it like it was her favorite meal. She was an optimist, hoping to change peoples lives with her dreams. James Vallette was a 34-year-old CEO, building his company from dirt with the help of his brother. He was a realist, not really having time to deal with dreams or even love. He knew this the night he laid eyes on Amelia. It was only casual; what harm could a one-night stand do? Oh yeah, he's her dad's boss.

Will being under the guardianship of her new older brothers give her a chance at normalcy in her life or will they cause even more mess than before? ☆ ☆ ☆ As I lied there in the hospital bed with a pounding headache, barely even conscious, I heard a familiar, raspy voice that sounded as though they haven't slept. "Nessuno oserà toccarti di nuovo senza perdere le mani mia cara." I felt two hands hold my cheeks and a soft kiss on my forehead. The covers over me shuffled as the familiar person wrapped me in them. (𝐍𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐦𝐢𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐚.) Simply the presence of them reassured me as I felt myself drift off into a deep sleep. ☆ ☆ ☆ 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄 (noun): a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream.
