Single mom Selina Sardi would do anything for her 6-year-old son. Eager to turn their new house into a real home for him, she's devastated when she discovers that the monster under his bed is not a figment of his imagination but the real deal. 

Elias Zwarteveen started his bogeyman career twenty-four years ago and he has been living in the same attic since. He would love nothing more than a change of scenery, but if he wants to move, he needs to rebuild his strength. The only way to do that is to consume plenty of fear. 

Selina and Elias strike a deal. She will feed him her fears for seven nights in a row, after which he will leave and never return. There's nowhere to hide in the small attic room and Elias picks up on fears Selina wasn't even aware of. 

Selina and Elias embark on a heated, emotional rollercoaster. What starts as a game of cat and mouse evolves into an intense yearning that will be hard to walk away from. Yet, that is exactly what they intend to do when the week is over. 

Seven Nights with the Bogeyman is a steamy monster romance with explicit sex scenes between two consenting adults, written for the ONC2024. Enjoy!

But to avoid any conflict and continue being the good son in their eyes, he gave in and set up a prayer of adoration to ask for God's blessing on his future.

But after pressing close together to hide the supernatural from another human, neither of them could deny the spark that flickered between them under the sheets in the dark of Asael's room.

After all, with him, there was truth and freedom--the freedom to carve his own future, the freedom to carve a story to be told without any underlying fantasy. Or was there?

The Men Next Door by wildfirehoney

βœ… Complete βœ… When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment. One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention. What could go wrong? ☲☲☲☲☲ β˜†Brooksβ˜† My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly -- like she was scared the moment would pass away forever if she let another millisecond go by -- and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her. Something about my touch must have given her courage. β™‘Campbellβ™‘ The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train. I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just their new neighbor. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret. β˜†Lucaβ˜† Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly -- like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea -- and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy. And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat. ☲☲☲☲☲ Featured by: πŸ“™ @Wattpad β€’ Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) β€’ Endless Reading Mode 🧑 (Jan 2024) β€’ Summer in the City πŸ₯΅ (June 2023) πŸ“• @Romance β€’ New Adult (June 2024) πŸ“˜ @Ambassadors β€’ Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) Awards: πŸ₯ˆ Romance runner-up (The Prime Awards 2023)
