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 😏🖤


**Please check out the spoon theory story by Christine Miserandino for more understanding and clarification about "spoonies" and some of the jargon, it will be referenced in Christine's POV often.**

The Choices Being Made (Book #2, Choices series) by emmehnim1
25 parts Complete Mature
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.

[*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." He whispered, and all she could do was look in his eyes, search them for the truth. For she knew, she had loved him too. ***** Ryan is haughty, at the almost end of his teenage. He had been a so called perfection throughout his school, and thus it was not strange for many girls to have a thing or two for him. One of them was Jessica, and mind you, he has never been interested. Jessica is 18. A freshmen in university. A complex brain with thoughts way deeper than what kids at her age are expected to have. She has quite a boring life- infested with diseases called #beingintrovert, #sociallyanxiety, and #ilovemycomfortZone. Liam hardly has a free hour at hand with his full packed schedule. But when he does get some time, he can be found flipping through the pages of psychological books in the library. It was at such a place when he gets acquainted with Jessica. Read this story to know how sweet romance mingles in their hearts, friendship blossoms and life gets some more meaning.

"You have no idea how badly I want to make love to you," he responds with a shake of his head. "I love you so much," he continues and my heart melts. "I love you," I whisper back. "Okay, I'm going to make love to you now, Angel. It will hurt a little, so let me know if it hurts too much," he says and leans down to kiss me. "I'll be gentle," he tells me. Keeping his eyes locked on mine he shifts his hips forward slightly and enters inside of me. My mouth widens as he enters, and I feel a slight pinch. He was right, it does hurt, but it's not terrible. "Christ! You're the sun!" he calls out. I watch his face crumble. He buries his face in my neck and then he's above me again, his hands on my cheeks again. ... For 20 year old Alison Scott, love was never something she deemed herself worthy of. Not until he came along. With his tousled brown hair, lean muscular body and smile that ignited everything south of her body; he was unbearably attractive and intimidating to Alison. She thought he could never be interested in someone like her, until he was. Was living in the same household together with someone you want and need such a great idea? As they embark on this journey together, Alison discovers her own desires as well as all the secrets Isaac keeps. You will become addicted to Addicted. Warning: 'Addicted' contains graphic depiction of violence, sexuality, strong language, mature themes, and drug references. Reader Discretion is advised.

Watching Her 18+ (Her Series book four) by HarlotPlay
22 parts Complete Mature
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.
Hiding Anna [rewritten] by em1341
42 parts Complete Mature
[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.
His Sweet Lies by moonprincess87
18 parts Complete Mature
Her brows furrowed. "You look like you have something specific you wanna ask me." The tips of Liam's ears turned red at Emma's very accurate observation. "I, uh... I usually just bullshit my way through projects, so I have no idea what the hell I'm doing." The corners of Emma's lips formed a small smile. Liam arched his brow. "What are you smiling at?" Her smile widened. "Nothing." Ever since Emma started going to Silver Creek High, she's been bullied over her discolored eyes. It all started when a boy brought attention to her in biology class one day, laughing at her and calling her a "freak" while the rest of the class laughed along with him. She never looked at him or saw his face; she just ran out of the room crying. She was now an outcast labeled as a freak and she wanted nothing more than to just disappear. She felt she had no purpose in life. Until her sophomore year when she fell in love with Liam, the guy every girl wanted; the guy every dude wanted to be. He had stolen her heart and she now wanted nothing more than to be with him. Unfortunately, Liam seemed to want nothing to do with Emma. He seemed to be straight up avoiding her. They never interacted for 3 whole years. That is, until now in their senior year, when they get paired up for a school project. The two must put their differences aside and try to work as a team. But as they spend more time together, feelings grow deeper, and secrets start to rise to the surface. Warning: Contains mature language, sex, and topics of bullying, sexual assault/harassment, self-harm, and suicide
Anneliese by pitifulkisses

Anneliese is an empathetic, goofy, outgoing young woman who has struggled finding a place to be herself. Often looking for new ways to meet friends, she wouldn't pass the opportunity to chat someone up. Even a stranger at the diner she works at to pass time. A dedicated man takes to the nativity of Anneliese. He's direct, but prefers to keep to himself. Even an isolated man by choice can't withstand Anneliese's pull. Gravitating towards her, he manages to bring her a sense of comfort to the new beginnings in life. ~ ❀ ~ I can't help but stare at her. Her face, lips, and smile, and her nose. Even her long, curled lashes. "Let's do a butterfly kiss!" She exclaims, pulling my face close suddenly. Kiss? My heart hammers in my chest, my breath hitching. Her small hands hold my face close to hers. It's not very forceful, I could pull away if I wanted to, but I let her have control. Her hands are warm and soft against my jaw. Getting closer, her eyes lashes flutter and I find myself holding my breath. She brushes her lashes to mine, her breath fanning against my lips. Subconsciously, I lean forward, wanting my lips to be on hers. June flutter her lashes, grazing her lashes to mine. Out of nowhere she bursts out in a fit of laughter. I flinch back. Butterfly kiss. That was not a fucking kiss. ~ ❀ ~ #1 cliche 2025 #1 sweatheart 2025 *Warning* Mature themes will be covered (language, actions, etc).

Two broken souls in the midst of a crazy world. Two souls running away from their past. There was no light at the end of the tunnel. The tunnel was cracking, slowly closing in. When these two connect, as if they were set on the same path, light creeps in through the cracks, and for or a moment, the tunnel seems to have a way out, but what if it collapses before they make it? - "You saved my life." The words come out as a whisper, I've been dying to say that. I thank god every day that he came into my life when he did. "Fuck Vivian, you don't know how much I needed you." I tear up just a little as he speaks, I don't know the last time I cried happy tears. I bring my hands up to cup his cheeks, resting my forehead against his. "No matter how much I push, I don't mean it. Please don't give up on me." My words seem to relieve him in some way as I feel his shoulders relax. "Even when I'm gone, I'll be by your side, forever." He brings his hand, sticking his pinky out. "pinky promise."I wrap mine around his, placing a kiss on his lips. Warning before you read!! This is my first book! This book will contain topics of SA, eating disorders, and mature content, if any of these things may bother you in anyway, please scroll! I hope when I finish this book I can public a clean version, with a different perspective leaving out these topics, but for now, this is how i've envisioned this story to go! Enjoy -Ash🌸
