Beneath His Hands by LittleMapleBear

She's just turned eighteen-restless, curious, and far too aware of the man who's always been in the background of her life. He's her father's best friend-recently divorced, emotionally bruised, and old enough to know better. At a summer backyard barbecue, one accidental touch changes everything. A spark. A look. A moment neither of them can shake. What begins as tension builds into something dangerous-something they're both too scared to name. Because some lines should never be crossed. But some desires don't care. A slow-burn, age-gap romance wrapped in heat, heartache, and the ache of forbidden want. (Number 2 in #eighteen on August 6 2025) (Number 4 in #softsmut on September 18 2025)

Forbidden Fate by KellyAnneTilly

It was one night, and it was the best damn night of my life, he made me feel like I was special for the first time in my life. That was until morning came and he ripped my heart out. I was never meant to see the man again, especially not at my sister's engagement party, and now I feel like my world is falling apart because the truth is I never got over him, and now I have to watch him and my sister together. I won't break her heart even if mine breaks every time he touches her. I'll keep this a secret until I go to the grave. (Please note I am dyslexic so they will be a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes!!) It's also unedited! I'll go through it when I have completed it!! 🔞

Forbidden Desire 18+ by SavannaWritess

Isabella is desperate for her own independence, but her overprotective father stands in the way of her future. When she demands that she attends a University two hundred miles away from her home, her father only has one exception; a bodyguard. Elio is dedicated to his career to honour his late sister, but when he owes a favour to an ex-mafia boss, he takes body-guarding to a completely new level. Isabella is reckless and likes to push her bodyguards limits. Elio has zero patience and a desire to punish his client. When things start to get heated and unexpected feelings get in the way, their forbidden relationship becomes a distraction when Isabella's life is on the line. Elio is desperate to not let down another important woman in his life. But he can't save everyone, including his own bleeding heart. Tropes: - Mafia Romance - Bodyguard - Age-gap (8 years - FMC is 21 and MMC is 29) - Forbidden Love - Brat FMC/Grumpy MMC - Light BDSM (sub/dom vibes) - Size difference (5'4 & 6'6) - University/College Setting - Past Trauma/Healing - ANGST (so much of it)
