Maybe not all women are bad news after all?

The Power of Weakness
COMPLETE BUT FINESSING Ari Nichols's life in Alaris is far different from how she grew up. Accountant by day & homebody by night, Ari is happy with her quiet life. She only ventures out for dinners with friends, work events, or the rare blind date which she goes on at her parents' insistence. She'd rather skip dating altogether & never gives a second thought to the men she ices out, but when Sebastian Meyer speaks to her the first time, she wants it to happen again. Meyer is a man at the top of his game, headed towards the pinnacle of the business world. He's arguably Alaris's most eligible bachelor. He garners the attention of women everywhere he goes, but only the most elite of them make it into his "black book." Dating is a tool used by Meyer - a means to an end. Meyer knows from the beginning that Ari has nothing to contribute to his goals, but he's drawn to her nonetheless. Ari, who once thought herself clever & guarded, will discover just how naive she truly is when caught in the world of the power hungry and ruthless Meyer. As an adult, she thought she finally had her life under control, but she'll be pushed to her limits by Meyer's intensity. Will she be able to get the balance she wants in their relationship or is total submission the only thing Meyer will accept? Meyer has been focused on one goal for most of his life, driven by the past he wants to leave behind. His cold & calculated behavior starts to become unpredictable after getting involved with Ari. Conquering her is the only way he can regain himself, but in the process he'll discover that there's more to Ari than meets the eye. Will his wild life send her running before he can find the answers? Can their painful pasts & true selves remain hidden or will the sudden & intense flame of their passion bring everything to light? Will they be strong enough to withstand the pressures of the outside world - ambition, power, pleasure, temptation? Or will everything burn to the ground?Complete![The Charmer [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/102051396-256-k963392.jpg)
The Charmer [COMPLETED]
"He is the one. The one that every girl searches for. He is the one for me, and he is mine now. He is what life offered me as a small light, a light of pure hope. He was that one light that I had to hold on to through all the things that were going to happen to me..." *** The most beautiful form of love is when two can depend on each other with their lives, cherish each other's delicacy, feel the emotions within a single touch, and most of all: feel free.

Thus will be written a story in which two young people experience what love actually feels like. This is the spinoff of 'Interest'. It can be read as a stand alone but will contain relations to the first book. This story contains abusive content, strong language and sexual content. Read at your own risk.

Deeper Healing
"As I passionately kiss your lips and breathe all of you in, release your pain to me; let me inhale it and let my soothing touch heal your broken soul. -------- What starts as soft glares and innocent forehead kisses turns into something more carnal, deeper and wickedly tempting to explore. She isn't looking for true love, a concept she has given up on searching for. What her soul burns for is a man's touch to set her body ablaze and consume her completely in a whirlwind of intense pleasure and ecstasy. He desires a vibrant woman to do all the wickedly sinful things burning in his mind to, one who can unleash the dominant beast in him and torture sensually with all the pleasure he has to offer. She seems to be all he's ever needed and maybe someone whose heart he can heal and stitch back in place piece by piece until it can beat hard in her chest again and say his name. But nothing ever comes on a silver platter, especially with loads of drama and misfortunes tailing each one of them from sources closer than they could ever imagine. ⚠︎Warning: This story contains explicit sexual content, mentions of sexual assault, mild language, drama and is a slowburnComplete
ON HIS WATCH
She never knew that his world existed. The supernatural was not something she was enamoured with, unlike most young women her age. In the days of Twilight, Supernaturals, The Originals and Bitten, vampires, witches, werewolves and other supernatural creatures, she just wasn't interested. She just wanted to make it through university, graduate and have a career. If she meets a guy, fine. If not, fine. She wasn't concerned. No one had every made her feel interested. He watched her. From a distance. It was forbidden to reveal himself to her. Humans didn't do well when they learned that they were not the only species out there. She was unspoiled by the world around her. Unbelievably so. Innocent in a way that he had not seen in centuries. She was pure and light. To have her as his was his one desire. Yet, they were worlds apart. Then, she was attacked, and that very innocence stolen. With his rage brewing stronger and stronger, he broke the rules and came to her. Saving her at the last minute.Complete
Rejected At First Sight (Spinoff Series)
*Rejected at First Sight* Spin-off series (By GirlWhoChasesRainbow) 🌶 "Oomph!" The sound rushed out of my mouth as the door opened before I could reach the handle and my body hits a wall. I stumble backwards slightly before a hand wraps around my waist, keeping me from falling. Looking up, I realize this wasn't a wall, but instead a very attractive male. A very messy, but definitely sexy, mop of black hair sat on top of his head. When I looked closer, I realized that it was a deep shade of brown that was probably often mistaken for black. My gaze traveled to his eyes, where I found two deep ocean blue eyes looking at me. I kept going further down to his too crooked nose to be called straight, which I assumed came from too many fights. His skin was tanned, but an olive tone suggested he had a natural darker complexion to begin with. My eyes finally found his pink, very plump lips which were resting slightly open. His lips jerked up into a lopsided sneer as his hand snapped back to his side. The sudden movement left my back cold, as if his palm had been a source of warmth. "You've got to be kidding me!" His tone dripped with disgust. My eyes turned to questioning as I looked back up into his eyes. I brought my hand up to rub my nose, squinting at the slight pain. "What the hell." He grumbled. "I, Jay Julian, reject you as my mate." He, or Jay, said with venom lacing his voice. He quickly turned and walked down the now vacant hallway with no glance back. Rejection? What the hell was that? Was it some sort of local lingo? How did I get rejected on my first day? The first person I make eye contact with at this school rejects me. I guess that's how this school works, if the hottest boy in school rejects you, you're a nobody. If that's how this small town school worked, then I was screwed. So much for making friends, or mates, or whatever they call people in this place. I shake those ocean blue eyes out of my head and continue into the office to start my new life.Complete

Runaway (first 8 chapters)
This is for the 8-chapter-challenge thing-a-ma-jig. Yes, it's fanfiction, but I thought I'd enter anyway - just for fun. I wrote all this after Jan 2nd. Give my story a chance, Wattpad...ers!

You can see the rest of this story (and more) in the full book, FNF Multiverse - see it in my profile. Was that advertising? I think it was. Fandoms: FNF (the original + mods) & The Forever Labyrinth (Google game) -------------------------------------------------------- Edit: Guys, I actually made it to the list?? Even with fanfiction?? Or maybe I'm just checking the wrong results, yeah, that's more likely, but still...yippee!Complete
Indecorous
(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right. Her and her best friend, Aviary, lived together in a cute little apartment off the central part of the city, yearning to create new memories and important moments. Amelia always lived for the moments, taking in every little detail and savoring it like it was her favorite meal. She was an optimist, hoping to change peoples lives with her dreams. James Vallette was a 34-year-old CEO, building his company from dirt with the help of his brother. He was a realist, not really having time to deal with dreams or even love. He knew this the night he laid eyes on Amelia. It was only casual; what harm could a one-night stand do? Oh yeah, he's her dad's boss.Complete

Lean on Us: NEW AND IMPROVED (LukaxAdrienxReader)
(A/N: This is essentially going to be a process of fixing + improving Lean on Us, a pre-existing fic on my page, as I'm not too happy with how it came out as the years go by. NOTE: There WILL be more spice in this one and probably more violence than in the original, but all spice chapters will be written to be skipped in the case you'd like to skip them, and TW will be added as necessary.) After Luka's painful pining experience over Marinette Dupain-Chang, he pretty much gives up on romance and prioritizes being there for the ones he loves and putting their needs above his own. He begins to attract attention as the band Kitty Section picks up some major traction, leading him to feel the need to repress any hurt he's feeling himself. As this happens, (Y/N) transfers into Marinette's class upon being adopted by their uncle due to the sudden death of their parents. (Y/N) is still moving on and dealing with the repercussions of their mother and father's passing when Juleka introduces (Y/N) to Luka at their band rehearsal. They form a strong bond and become fast friends- and quickly become something more- but how much more can they be in the chaos of suddenly becoming a hero on top of that? Adrien was a good boyfriend. He listened to what Marinette said about Luka and tried his best to keep his distance, ignoring what was becoming a wonderful friendship. After a series of unfortunate events, he finds himself single and gets a second chance at a real friend from (Y/N), much to Luka's dismay. What happens when this certain blond is thrown into the mix?
