Isabelle's freedom is jeopardized as an accidental encounter with Ethan Blake, one of the city's wealthiest men, spirals out of control.
Ethan intends to use her for his own scheme as retaliation for what she had done to his property.
As Isabelle reached for the door handle, Ethan grabbed her shoulders and spun her around to face him.
"What was that?" he asked, furious at her inability to answer a basic question. If you blow this thing up for me...
"What Ethan?" She interrupted, her own temper flaring. "What is going to happen if I blow this up?" she asked, her face turning bright red with indignation.
The tension between them was palpable, hanging heavy in the air like a thick fog.
Isabelle had had enough of his torment. She knew she had made a mistake, and she had apologized, but he continued to hold it over her head, forcing her to play his little game. She had allowed him to mistreat her for far too long, but she refused to be humiliated any longer. Her dignity as a woman was at stake if she continued to let him walk all over her. No more. She was done with his bullying and his threats. She would not allow herself to be a victim any longer.
"Don't push me, woman, or there will be consequences," he barked as he roughly grabbed her hand to keep her from walking out on him.
"Let go of my hand, Ethan; you're hurting me!" she screamed, her hand throbbing from his firm grip.
"And if I don't, what will you do?" Ethan demanded.

Karma's Heart
Karma's Heart is a slow burn, emotionally charged love story between two opposites who clash, combust, and slowly come undone in each other's orbit. Pelo moved into the apartment complex for peace, not problems. Especially not ones like Karma-a shirtless, smug, maddening neighbour who insists on touching her boundaries and tipping her world off balance. She's prickly. He's persistent. But what begins as tension, irritation, and barbed banter evolves into something layered and tender: stolen glances, slow confessions, unspoken knowing. Through sickness and missteps, dreams and doorsteps, arguments and almosts, they learn what it means to choose each other. Over and over. To hold space. To rebuild trust. To stay soft in a world that made them hard. Because sometimes love doesn't arrive gently. Sometimes, it knocks like consequence- But stays like heart. --- OPENING LINES (Draft): Pelo didn't like people. She especially didn't like him. The first time Karma touched her, she recoiled like he'd passed a live wire to her skin. Germs, she told herself. But it wasn't just that. It was the way his hand lingered. The way he looked at her like he already knew how the story would go. And she hated that. Because she had moved here for peace. Not for a man with tattoos, trouble in his grin, and a voice that could talk her into bad decisions if she stood too close too long. Not for someone who made her say please in her head when she didn't want him to follow, and made her scream into pillows when he did. But Karma never asked for permission. And the worst part? A small, buried part of her didn't want him to. #1 poeticlove #1 steamymoments #1 blackwomenlead #3 touchstarved #1 softmasculinity #1 blackgirlmagic
Fascinated
"I thought you really liked me." She whispered with moist hazel eyes and despair. His heart spasmed at the view, seeing how hurt she is. For a moment or two his steal gray eyes filled with solicitude for her which he immediately brushed off as his ego and self-esteem overpowered his mind. He chuckled softly taking slow predatory steps towards her. "Oh darling! I never thought you to be this immature. I just manipulated you to think that way. Only thing I feel for you is lust and vengeance." With smirk on his face he approached her slowly yet in long strides. She stepped back with fear written all over her face till her back hit the wall.Complete
Brie and Claire
"You have secrets." "I do not." "Yes you do, and I'm going to find out what they are." Claire finds herself joining Brie on an unexpected journey, one that she had never imagined to be a part of, when all she was expecting was a boring roommate. Her mundane life from working at a thrift store changes dramatically, when her path collides with Brie's. The two hadn't met since freshman year of high school, and hadn't realised how different they each were from their teenage selves. How their ambitions, passions, and stories had changed, and what life had in hold for the two. Claire, an exceptionally gifted artist, was always eager to put her skills to use. The question is, would she still want to, if she was to rob a gallery. And as for Brie, her story couldn't possibly be put into a single sentence. Are they fearless enough to face the malice of the world? Are they desperate enough to pull off a heist? Are they insatiable enough to fall in love? Ranks: #17 in heist Note: Not just all the characters, but most places like the museum and town in which the story takes place, the painting and artist are all fictional. Note 2: This is a slowburn, do not read if you don't have the patience for it Note 3: WAY too many descriptions of the sky but that's what you get from an author obsessed with sunsets Themes of sexuality, homophobia, mental health/disorders, eating disorders and addiction Credits to @LoonyGlitch for the book coverComplete
Always Down
My body was pressed against his hard slack and colliding underneath the agonizing tension, he lowered his mouth to mine and his tongue darted to run across my bottom lip. My core throbbed under his touch and my thighs clenched hard when he thrusted his hard on against my body. He then leaned to kiss me, long and angered, forcing for the tears beneath my closed lids to burn like acid. His teeth nicked my bottom lip and a cry of pain pushed through my throat. My nails clawed his forearms in retaliation but that never stopped his assault on my lips. He showed me how fucking vulnerable my body was beneath him and his words from the other night pricked my conscience. I assembled my guts and pushed his body back. I tried to step past him but he held my upper arm and pulled me back against the ropes. "Let go of me, Hades." My voice wavered. He stared down at me for a brief moment before releasing his hold and backed away. "Gladly." Hades D'amiano- vain, narcissistic and a lethal weapon. Mia Faye- seductive, assertive and a fatale lie.

"You," he said with a lopsided grin only his eyes showed his true intentions as he placed his hands on her waist lifting her up onto the counter stepping in between her legs. "You..you.can't," she stuttered. "I am, I can and I will have you Lia. This I promise you," he said nuzzling her neck before claiming her lips stealing her breath. "Ethan no," she said breathlessly pushing him away. "Lia why do you keep pushing me away. You know you want this as much as I do. I know you feel the same way as I feel about you. Why are you fighting us!" He growled frustratedly. -------- "Don't lie to me," he growled saying each word slowly whilst pacing in front of the door. "Ethan I." "Don't," his voice boomed as he stopped looking at her angrily as she flinched. "Start speaking," he whispered.Complete
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 With Teeth.
Philip squirmed between his arms. His lips were cold against his own. But damn it was good. So good. Fuck. How did he even get in this situation?! Dating a serial killer?? This was insane!! Philip shuddered. He couldn't imagine what else he had done. Philip winced as his waist got pulled closer. Between muffled moans and angry pulls on clothes, Philip managed to choke out a sentence. "You're crazy!!" Just two words. But there couldn't have been more truth in them. The man grinned. "You love me." Yeah. He did. Philip loved him. More than anything. He flinched as he leaned his forehead against his own. "You know I'd never hurt you." He kissed Philip's neck. "You're the only person I'd never hurt. I love you." Philip's mouth went slack around the edges. "I love you too..." He whispered just before their lips met again and this time, he didn't _________________________________________ Triggers: LGBTQ+ Su!c!de/s£lf harm. Death. Trauma. Abuse. Mental health issues.
