Ongoing story, sporadic posting schedule, chronically ill author. Feedback welcome. First attempt. This book WILL HAVE SMUT in it later, and is recommended for readers 18+.  

An interabled romance. Enter the quiet girl, the one who is too damn smart for her own good, beautiful but doesn't know it, and hiding a hell of a lot of trauma behind a snarky inner monologue, elite level sarcasm, and a stubborn streak a mile wide. Oh, and she's sick. Like, really sick, and getting worse. Fiercely fighting to hang on to her independence and the walls she's built over the years, Christine tries to be content with her books and her own company in her careful, quiet little world. She has no idea that a visit to her favorite bookstore is going to have her leaving with far more than she bargained for. 

From nearly the moment she caught his attention, Xavier was intrigued. That quickly grew to being captivated, before morphing into concern and a surprisingly strong protective inclination he didn't know he had. He has a massive soft spot for his pretty little bibliophile, and its obvious to him that something is VERY wrong and if he's not mistaken, getting worse. He desperately wants to help her, be there for her, but he can also tell she is TERRIFIED of accepting that kind of support and if he pushes too hard she will run. That's okay, though. He's a patient man and he wants her to feel comfortable trusting him with the secrets shadowing her eyes and heart.   Can she be brave enough to tell the truth, for both their sakes? Can he coax her into accepting him fully into her life so he can give her the love and support she so desperately needs? And maybe even the happily ever after they both deserve 😏🖤

[*COMPLETE*] [*EPILOGUE, EXTRAS AND FILLER CHAPTERS MAYBE ADDED*] [NEEDS MAJOR EDITING AND A TONNE OF FILLER CHAPTERS] "You were burning with fever and I had the silliest idea. You were shivering, face all red, leaning closer and closer against me.. and in the heat of the moment, I did what I shouldn't have I kissed you, I loved you again."

Hiding Anna [rewritten] by em1341

[THIS IS A REWRITTEN VERSION OF THE OG] *** WARNING: Contains extremely triggering and mature content in almost every single chapter in this book, read at your own discretion. *** "That's not a fair deal." She whispered, more to herself than to me. "I know." "Sleep over but with no sex?" "No sex." I confirmed. She pursed her lips together and clenched her hands on the sides of the cabinet. Her eyes flitted over to the remains of two lines of ket. There was still a dusting of powder on the side. "Fine." One word. It was a miracle. I was certain she'd say no, but I'd wanted to try anyway. "No one can know." She reaffirmed. But as soon as those words were out she scraped the remaining powder onto her finger pads and snorted it. *** Cassie Moore is a walking mystery, but the ghosts of her childhood are neither glamorous nor intriguing. She is broken, and the perpetrator stays hidden in plain sight, taunting her with her very existence everyday at school. And one day, it all comes to a climax and her entire world shifts. This is a beautiful romance between two people who love each other more and more every day that goes by. Two people who better each other, a boy who sets a girl free. This is a journey between a girl and her emotions that are continually working against her. This is a tale of how two misfortunate people grow out and with each other in adversity.

HAUNTED - A Dark Romance by savshabang

DANTE When I first laid my eyes on her; she was only eleven, three years younger than me. She was quiet. And pure. But she was troubled, and alone. I could see it behind her eyes; the thin veil that concealed her deepest secrets, faltering every time she looked at me. I knew from that moment on that I would live for her. And she would eventually live for me, too. With or without her blessing. However, circumstances change. And that purity I once relished in; her light in contrast to my darkness, disappeared. But, don't worry my little sinner, I will haunt you. And I won't be as kind this time. EDEN I won't let you scare me. That's what I keep telling myself. And yet, I see you. In every dark corner, in every casting shadow -- I see you when I close my eyes. And I hate myself for it. But I'm older now. Wiser. You took my innocence from me, and while I hate myself for allowing you to, I hate you just that much more. But I won't let you in this time. I don't want your inferno to engulf me anymore, I want to extinguish it. **PLEASE BE WARNED** This book will contain graphic contents, including but not limited to: violence, sexual contents and sensitive subjects. A trigger warning for the following: Domestic Abuse, is heavily advised. There is content advisories for things like; CNC, Stalking, Gore...etc, as well. This book is the first I have ever written, and I want you all to enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to leave your feedback in the comments, or on my page. With all that said and done, please enjoy. He's waiting for you. Enjoy, Savvy.

Watching Her 18+ (Her Series book four) by HarlotPlay

River: When I least expected it, my angel finally walked into my orbit, looking like a prayer come to life. Until I completely fucked it up by tripping over the pants around my ankles and accidentally motorboating her perfect breasts. Needless to say, she ran away as fast as she could to get away from me. Fortunately for me, she just happens to be the new receptionist at my vet clinic. Unfortunately, she won't even look at me. That's okay though, because she's mine and I'll do whatever it takes to prove it to her. Even if that includes watching her every move and manipulating her into wearing my ring on her finger and sharing my last name. I thought my brothers were unhinged when it came to their women. Turns out I'm the most unhinged of them all. Ivy: Taking a new job in the small town of GaleTown, Texas was supposed to be my new start after finding my fiance balls deep in my best friend. I was supposed to focus on myself and my own personal growth after having my world turned upside down. Fortunately, I quickly fell in love with this little town and finally see the light on the other side of the storm. Unfortunately, I walk in on one of my new bosses getting a bathroom BJ right before he face plants into my chest while calling me Angel. Now the infuriating man won't stop watching me with a heat in his eyes that sets my panties on fire. But I learned my lesson about playboys the hard way, and I'll never make that mistake again. That's what I told myself anyway until I wake up in Vegas with a ring on my finger and a naked River in my bed. Now he's refusing to let me go and a part of me keeps softening with every soft look and sweet caress. This is part of a series. The first three books can be found on my page. Each book is a standalone that focuses on a different couple. This series follows the Brooks brothers as they find their destined soulmate.

Maid for You by CabertSilversmith

Jocelyn thrust her head backward and groaned in frustration. Aroused as she was, all her nerve endings had become very sensitive. She closed her eyes as her arousal left her no choice but to focus completely on the sensitive touch of the metal spoon edging ever closer to her sex. She was ready for him to take her right now. She wanted to feel his finger or the spoon on her clitoris. She wanted to come. She could almost scream in frustration. Tied as she was, there was nothing that she could do herself. How much cream did he still have left to eat...? Just how much closer can he get and still not quite hit my... As his spoon finally ran gently over the tender lips of her vagina, her whole body shivered. Oh my God! That was it. Do it again...! + + + Marc woke up one Sunday morning to find Jocelyn on his doorstep. Someone had given him a gift of this lovely maid to help him with his housework for a year. Who had done it, and why? While Marc tries to find out what is going on, Jocelyn finds out about Marc's dark desires. She pushes him until he brings them out into the light. The tables turn and the cheeky Jocelyn finds herself willingly fulfilling services that go way beyond the initial gift of a little more free time... + + + Note: This is a teaser. The full work is available on Amazon. With 21 out of 32 Chapters, it is quite a long teaster...! Enjoy...;-)

The Choices Being Made (Book #2, Choices series) by emmehnim1

Book #2, Choices series. Not a stand alone unless you want to skip any "plot points." *** "Please hurry..." Polly begged. "Don't be greedy," Michael scolded. "Let him prepare you..." *** A 32 year old, single mother with little experience outside the world she built around herself. A younger man that rules his world on his terms with little room for compromise. And his friend and lover that challenges them to grant him access to both of their worlds, while simultaneously expanding their universes. Polly has been making some choices in the last several months that have lasting consequences. She must now decide how far she is willing to go and the level of commitment to have with two men ten years her junior. At the same time, she must deal with the fallout of those choices. **Mature content** Porn with a plot (although "plot" is being generous). This book won't appeal to everyone. Many kinks are explored - some of which are risky and not recommended in real life (such as any breeding/ impregnating). Some kinks/concepts explored (at varying degrees): domination/submission/switch, breeding, primal, exhibition, breastfeeding, age gaps (younger man / older woman, and the potential for older man / younger woman), threesome/ménage à trois, polyamory, degradation, praise, MDlb (Mommy Dom / little boy), age regression, cuckquean, double penetration, bisexuality, girl x girl, and anal.
