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
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.

Aah-s-stop, let go!" I cried, tears stinging my eyes. His eyes flicked down to my bare skin, a dark smirk tugging at his lips. "n-no stop" I cried "you shouldn't have disobeyed sweetheart" He pulled down my underwear as I screamed. Humiliation washed over me as i cried my eyes out. My vision blurred by my tears "N-no p-please s-stop this" He bend down next to my ear "Look at you, trembling like a good girl" "s-stop this p-please". I begged only to hear his chuckle. He stood behind me, the belt gripped tight in his hand, his breath steady-controlled. "Count," he ordered coldly. "Every. Single. One." I waited for the pain to come as i lay there helpless.Humiliated. Stripped of dignity. And they watched me break.

FEARFULLY HIS
His hands traced her arms, fingertips exploring, seeking the curve of her waist. Every touch sent sparks through her, searing and electric-he knew exactly how to make her weak. Leaning closer, his breath ghosted against her ear. "Only I know how to drive you crazy," he whispered. A shiver tore through her. "Please... Ethan, don't," she breathed, trembling. Five years ago, Lila vanished without a trace-pregnant, broken, and desperate. Now, Ethan Steele, the ruthless billionaire she tried to forget, has returned. Colder. Darker. More dangerous than ever.

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.
