Laughter swirled like perfume in the air, mingling with the scent of lilacs and expensive champagne. The glow of string lights danced across clinking glasses and polished smiles. But Jade stood still, her spine straight, fingers numb beneath silk and diamonds.
She saw him-Zion-before he saw her.
The ice started then. A slow, creeping cold beneath her ribs. Her chest hollowed as she watched him laugh at something-her sister Jane just steps behind him.
Her pulse thundered against her eardrums.
She moved forward, heels silent on the stone.
"Zion," she called, voice light, practiced, smooth as glass. "I didn't know you were here already."
He turned. A flicker of surprise, then the familiar mask.
"You were busy," he said. "I didn't want to interrupt."
He leaned in to kiss her cheek.
She tilted just enough to miss it.
The air between them turned sharp. Bitter.
"You should've still," she replied, eyes never leaving his.
His jaw twitched.
"You're being difficult," he muttered, only for her.
She laughed-empty, brittle. Behind him, Jane laughed at something else.
Jade leaned in, whispering silk-wrapped venom. "I guess I am."
His fingers wrapped around her wrist. Too tight. The world narrowed.
"Zion," she warned, smiling through her teeth. "Let go."

He whispers and I can feel his breath against my lips. We're so close. A voice in my head tells me that I shouldn't. I'm better than that. But then there's the louder voice that's so curious. Curious if he still tastes the same, if he's as good as I remember, or maybe even better. I lock eyes with him before his gaze falls to my lips. "Hayden," I whisper. He takes a step closer like we weren't already close enough. And then he slowly fills the space between us, his head dipping so his lips can meet mine.

Moonlight Kisses
"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022Complete

His Favorite Investment
She felt the heat of his body at her back before she saw his hand. His fingers grazed her skin, just barely, as he found the zipper and slowly, so slowly, pulled it up. It wasn't just a zip. It was a claim. A warning. "I should break his nose for looking at you the way he did," he whispered at her ear. "But that wouldn't be enough." Her breath caught. He hadn't touched her, not really. But it felt like too much. Like he'd branded her. "And you," he went on, voice low, lips grazing the curve of her neck without touching, "walking around this place in nothing but that swimsuit... you knew what you were doing." She swallowed hard. "Maybe I did." His hands lingered at her waist, holding her in place. Possessive. Undeniable. "You like making me jealous," he said, voice husky. "But just remember, Chloe... jealousy makes me dangerous." ***Content Warning*** This story contains mature themes including sexual content, emotional manipulation, morally complex relationships, cheating, and adult language.

Love that Burns!
"I know," Talia said, voice low. "But I don't want our first time to be a blur. I want it to ruin you." Mira blinked, stunned. "I want you clear-headed. Sober. I want you to remember how I touch you. How I taste you. I want you trembling under me, not swaying because of wine." ✧*✧*✧*✧* Talia Laurent is a 29-year-old gallery owner and elusive artist, wrapped in mystery and manicured precision. She commands every room with quiet authority, her intensity strong but always controlled. She rarely smiles, but when she does, it ruins people. She's built walls no one has dared to scale-until Mira. Mira Evans is 21, an art student who doesn't paint, but lives and breathes in creative spaces. She's free-spirited, emotionally brave, and effortlessly magnetic-a contrast to Talia's polished restraint. Mira loves fiercely, questions everything, and never plays safe. She's intrigued by the cold, unreachable woman behind the gallery walls-and unaware that her presence is awakening something possessive and raw in Talia. Where Mira brings color and chaos, she also exposes what's been buried beneath Talia's years of detachment. ! Mature content included !

Heartless Heiress ✔️
Viscious, cruel, cold -- those are just some of the words used to describe Jade Von Kaiser, the sole heiress to the Von Kaiser fortune. Working alongside her father, she has proven to be the only one worthy of the title, and she doesn't care who she steps on to become the very best. The only person who can take her down a notch is Dylan Sharp, a handsome sociopath with a charming smile and a cocky attitude. When Dylan becomes Jade's personal servant, things spiral out of control quickly as power dynamics change, and Jade is left to question everything she's ever known. _________________________________ 'The elevator ride up was silent as Jade seethed quietly, a considerable distance from me. I sighed and snaked my arm around her waist, pulling her close with ease. I bowed my head and brushed my lips against her cheek. "Are you mad at me? I'll make it up to you," I cooed, kissing her neck gently. God, why did I love getting under her skin so damn much? I loved the cute way her eyebrows scrunched when she got mad or the way her freckles seemed to glow when she was embarrassed. "S-stop it," she said not-so-convincingly as she held her palms against my shoulders. I sucked softly on her neck right under her ear while trailing my fingers up her leg, releasing breathless gasps from her. Just as things were about to get good, the elevator dinged, and the doors began to open.'
