The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o’clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 20th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took less than two hours, so it could begin at ten o’clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.

Old Money Madness
One of his hands was snaked around my back while the other dragged up my spine into my hair. With one hard tug, my head fell backward and the shower water covered my face. Gasping for air I felt his mouth make its way around the base of my neck. The hot water was already making my skin hot, but having him so close in this way, made me feel like I should have combusted a long time ago. He jerked me back up to be facing him. He kissed my mouth then drags his eyes down to my neck. "A pretty necklace, for the gorgeous Princess." *** "Tell me River what each kiss means again." He presses one to my cheek. "We're friends." I smile. "Here." He presses a kiss on my hand. "You adore me." I laugh. Then he pressed a kiss to my lips. It was quick barely touching long enough for my nerves to recognize it. "A kiss to the lips," I spoke blankly. My lips still parted in the manner he left me. I'm afraid to move in fear that my brain will forget the feeling. "And tell me again what that means River?" "I love you." A chaste whisper. So quiet, almost as if it didn't need to be said at all to be understood. "And that I do Miss Knight. In all your intensity." *** Two people come to figure out a double homicide. One is mental who is richer than anyone and the other is a detective from New York just trying to get their name on a big case. You may want to eat the rich, but most of them have already starved themselves. insta: csulak_Lengkap
Deep in Peach Blossoms
Bai Song went to work a casual job outside of his hometown for quite a while and didn't go back to the countryside. But he was suddenly called back by his parents, relatives, and friends to be a mythical creature's sex thing? Although I'm gay, it's so strange that the village where I was born was actually the legendary Peach Blossom Spring? (the Peach Blossom Spring, a hidden land of peace and prosperity) But he was only raised to be a husband! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "He was a man with long silver hair, handsome and tall, with straight shoulders. His brows were majestic, and his purple eyes were bright, but his facial features were clearly Asian. He was wearing a long white robe with gilt edges, like an ancient costume, but Bai Song could not tell what dynasty it was from. At this moment, a funny idea came to Bai Song's mind: he was just like a character in an online game or a cartoon, and he would be the boss." ( Part of the story... )Lengkap
After Hours (18+ || Office Romance) ✔
"Here's a paracetamol. And I'll need to check your temperature." I forced the words from my vocal chords and handed him both. Mr. Lawson took the glass of water and drank, still in front of me. Unconsciously, my eyes darted to his Adam's apple, bobbing up and down as he swallowed. A drop of water traveled from his lips down to his chin. As if mesmerized, I followed the wet trail, looking away when it reached past his washboard abs. My mouth going through drought. At this point, I'll catch his fever. I stepped back, feeling hot. "Take a nap first. I'll cook some soup. Your temperature?" I asked. Mr. Lawson glanced at the beeping thermometer, then turned it off, "40°C." "40?!" I asked incredulous. "I'm that hot." He turned his back to me and went to bed, going under his thick duvet of grey and black. *** Managing a family business, floundering in secret debts, and studying for a degree had been the main course of Sinclair's life since that fateful tragedy. Surviving was what she's aimed for ever since. But will she survive the increasingly irresistible pull of her new boss, Mr. Lawson? *** Mature Content. Please do point out errors. It'll make editing much easier. (If I find the will to edit, that is. *wink*) || intense gratitude from this point forward ||Lengkap
Nanny Dearest
Started- September 2019 Competed - October 2022 Oh I didn't know it would be this big. Looking out the window from the uber I that stop at the gate with a few guards standing in front of it. I got out the car thanking the driver and getting on my phone making sure I gave the nice old man a five star he was really friendly, by the way. Putting my phone in my pocket while I held my resume tight I walk up towards the two man that stood by the gate. One on the left move up meeting me holding his hand out, I gave him my paper assuming he's looking over it since he held the paper in his eye view. He looks at the other man who was on the right and nodded his head, his partner put some type of pin which cause the gates to open. My resume was gladly handed back to me as the man who held it started walking in and motion me to follow. Looking around I watch some of the gardeners tending to the front yard some maids was around picking flowers as well. A small smile crossed my lips as I continue to scan the seancery, this place seems perfect to work in very peaceful and pretty who knew a CEO of a company would have such a pretty place to stay in you would think he would be a female.Lengkap

A call from the phone is too striking, but visting the same Cafè almost every day is alright? The Mafia is realy a weird organization. During daylight it was a nice place to meet with friends or have a small break from work. In the evening, nobody would dare to come close to the small Cafè. The reason? It can't be any closer to the Mafia then this. It was the closest house to the sea and also the closest to the port Mafia. The owner of this shop was a couple in their late 40's with their son. It never mattert to the family that thei had to close the shop when the sunlight was faiding, because then the Mafia took action. No, that was normal for them and they still managed to be very happy with it.Lengkap
Dancing under millions of stars (BounPrem)
This story is written on request and is inspired by MV Dusk till Dawn by Boun Prem. I only take inspiration from the video. I am not trying to copy. Remember the days when people still sent handwritten letters instead of emails? I do, it was a time when you sent a letter and waited maybe a month for a reply. It was a time when two young boys wrote to each other every month and shared their joys and problems with each other until it ended abruptly. The boys became young men and eventually grown men and each lived their own lives. Their minds, in the fast-paced online world, had almost forgotten that there was once such a thing as a letter, until by chance these two met almost 20 years later. Why did they stop writing to each other? And is it possible to build on an old friendship, or would they like something more?Lengkap
