It wasn't until Duncan met a younger woman in her mid-30s, who refused to give up on him, that he started to question his beliefs. Despite his constant push and pull, she stood by his side, showing him love and understanding. She didn't judge him for his past or his fears, but she also didn't enable his toxic behavior. Through this relationship, he learned to face his fears and insecurities. He slowly opened up and allowed himself to be vulnerable. 

He realized that being vulnerable wasn't a weakness but a strength. It showed that he trusted this person enough to let them see the real him. And to his surprise, she accepted him for who he was. Duncan didn't have to push people away to protect himself or them. He could have healthy and loving relationships without compromising his safety or the safety of others. He also learned that he was not responsible for other people's emotions and couldn't control how they felt. 

Duncan finally broke the pattern of pushing people away. He could let go of his past and embrace a future filled with love and companionship. Relationships require effort and compromise, but the rewards of having someone by his side who truly loved and understood him were worth it. It takes the right person to break down our walls and show us that we can give and receive love.

She got a little carried away being creative with the business aspect though and might be in over her head. Everything had been going fine. No one had noticed what she was doing, her business was doing great. She was able to take care of herself and her father comfortably. That is until her latest performance circuit.

Men who have more than a few confessions to make to her when the time is right. Enjoy trailing behind Hannah through a whirlwind, steamy romance. Smut warning of highest order. It is reverse harem after all. Girl is going to get it good friends.
Unrestrained Ecstasy | 18+ by yeejia_gisei
12 parts Ongoing Mature
The moment Naomi's eyes locked with his, she was toast. Burnt toast. The kind that sets off the smoke alarm and has the neighbors wondering what fresh hell you've gotten yourself into this time. He was a kingpin, a power player in a world hidden beneath the surface of polite society. She knew the risks--hell, she'd read enough Wikipedia articles on organized crime to write a (very poorly researched) thesis. But she also knew that sometimes, the sweetest pleasures come from dancing with the devil...and then making him buy you breakfast the next morning. This wasn't a man who courted; he conquered. And Naomi was more than ready to be conquered. She knew he'd consume her--body, soul, and that secret stash of chocolate she kept on her nightstand. But Naomi wasn't just any damsel in distress. She was ready to consume right back, to leave her own mark on his heart (and maybe his leather jacket, if she got the chance). He'd take it all, claim it all, and probably ruin it all. And Naomi would let him because sometimes, submission is the ultimate power move. An unrestrained ecstasy that knows no bounds, right? But Naomi wasn't about to go down this path of unrestrained ecstasy alone. That just wasn't her style. She knew exactly what she was getting into, and she was all in. Halfway wasn't an option--not for Naomi. (Warning: This is a dark romance, chock-full of mature content that might ruffle a few feathers. It's strictly for those who've blown out at least 18 candles on their birthday cake.) ****YAZNA IS ON HIATUS. SEE YOU IN 2025!****
The Backpacker's Dream by CanisMajoris5

'No, he didn't'. I was so shocked by the turn of events. Everything was going fine and then suddenly boom, everything turned upside down. I just couldn't believe this. What did he think of himself? 'Leave me alone.' I said firmly but his hold on me was so strong. I was struggling to get out of his bear hold but to no avail. 'Oh!! So, the poor lady thinks that I will leave her alone and just let her go free?' He had that evil laugh and boy, his breath stank. 'Man, you just signed your death warrant and I will do one favour on you.' No one messes with me. 'Ooooh, I am so scared that I almost peed my pants.' Again that idiotic laugh. I counted till 5 and then kicked right in his balls. I turned around and grabbed his hair from roots, jerked them so badly and then gave my hard elbow shot on his chin. Everything happened so fast for one moment he was standing and the other lying on floor wiggling. I charged at him with my cheetah speed, picked up a wooden rod and started hitting him wildly, 'You idiotic stinky breath was trying to steal my backpack. You are so dead.' 'Favour, favour, favour.' He was screaming in pain just after few seconds and was panting hard. I picked my paste from my bag and threw at him, 'Brush your teeth.' I was fuming. I turned around and saw him standing wide-eyed, 'Hi, I am Scarlett.' I smiled showing my 32 teeth. 'I am scared.' His look puzzled me.

Just for Him [Kylo Ren x Reader] by saamanthaaaxx
8 parts Complete Mature
Please read warnings; this story is categorized for a mature audience. As a modest young woman living during the Regency Era in Hertfordshire, England, things had never felt right. That was until one evening, you came across the most charming gentleman you had the privilege of laying your eyes on, by the unique title of Commander Kylo Ren. You were his Angel, and that meant he had his own ways of possessing you, mind, body, and soul. But had Ren's shattering desires, secrets, and abilities been powerful enough to challenge everything you thought you knew about your life, and yourself? And more importantly, was there any way your souls would come back to each other? [Ultimately, if you read on, you will find that this is a love story taking place between two parallel universes.♥️] While this story begins in 1800s England, I've added a modern spin on that, especially in relation to the vocabulary, actions depicted by the characters, and plot development. The reason for that is because the linguistics of that time period is significantly outdated, and would not make sense for the rest of the story. The rights of all art, images, photography, and designs featured in this story go to their respective owners and creators. Your images helped shaped my content and imagery while writing and planning out scenes, plot ideas, and emotions during my creative process. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. While my ideal depiction of Kylo is someone who is soft, gentle, loving, and kind, there will be situations in this fic in which he is possessive, vulnerable, and emotionally unavailable. Constructive criticism is welcome, but I'm quite sensitive to anything deliberately hurtful, not helpful, or discouraging. My writing has a Mature rating for a reason. If you are not an adult (18+) or do not want to read explicit smut, please do not read my writing. This may potentially become part of a series called "Destiny Among Our Blurred Hearts."♥️
Love with strings detached by M_scorpioxx

I put on a show only for him in front of hundreds of people. I bring one hand up to my hair flicking them to the other side, trailing that hand down to my sternum and then my boob as I keep swaying my hips from to side, bending my knees as I lower myself a bit to the ground before sharply standing up again and slowly spinning around, circling my hips. I run my hands through the back of my hair before nailing my gaze on his eyes, slowly walking up to him. I watch him as he wets his lips before biting his plumb bottom one, eyes trailing up my body. Once I reach him, I wrap my arms around his neck and run my fingers through his hair as I press my body up against his. His hands shoot out to grab me from my lower waist, pulling me even closer to him as he pushes a leg between mine, staring into my eyes. I turn my head to the side and brush my lips against his ear before licking and biting his earlobe the same way I did at the party before whispering a few words he was dying to hear. "Take me back to your place." ---------- Theo is a 20-year-old university student with a bad temper. Letting go of the past can be a difficult thing to do but a much-needed one to move on. Love is his greatest fear, something that's so beautiful yet can be so painful at times. Can you love someone even if you fear that feeling? Daisy is a 20-year-old university student with bad romance luck so far. An ugly breakup can put you off love or it can make you more determined to find the real deal. Getting recently out of a toxic relationship, a new one is the last thing she's looking for. Can you love someone that doesn't allow themselves to be loved? A romance filled with drama, passion and love.
