The Closer (18+) ✓ by herserendipity

❀ FEATURED ON WATTPAD'S EDITORS' PICKS LIST ❀ [The Closer is intended for readers with an appetite for the dark and sexy. Read at your own discretion.] "What about that no fucking colleagues policy, huh? The one you so haughtily rubbed in my face?" The way to wound my heart is through my pride. The bastard knew that. But the look in Hans' eyes told me this wasn't a game to get me all riled up. "If your office ethics involve you getting into Tim's pants, then why don't I get to play too?" His hands flew down to my legs, tickling the bare skin on my legs and shocking me into stillness when I felt him pull up the corners of my dress till they were bunched up at my waist. "You can't," I breathlessly whispered as he forced my legs apart. One hand sauntered up to my neck, resting at my collarbone while the other snaked between my legs, parting my thighs until he had all of me resting at the tip of his fingers. "Is this cause of him," he growled, his finger dipping into my heat just slightly, circling the entrance, "or me?" He sounded so needing, so deprived. It turned me on knowing that I was the one making him feel this way, that despite being the one thrown up against a wall, I had the ultimate power over this man. "It's...It's you." I gulped and met his eyes. "It's all you." ● What happens when an unstoppable, hard-hitting business woman meets an unmovable, chauvinist, and utterly exhausting heir to a multi-million empire?

Perfect Storm by JeniRaeD

Enemies to lovers- Boss/employee- Bickering and Bantering- Billionaire romance Second chance romance HEA romance novel If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. When I saw a job opportunity to work at a resort a few hours north of the cities, including a place to stay, rent-free, I jumped on it. But, unfortunately, what I didn't know was that the one who owned the resort was a man I owed a huge chunk of money to. All because of an accident I still believe he caused. Ian Lockwood isn't like any other guy I've ever met. The man's devastatingly handsome, gorgeous to be exact, and his green eyes are so damn intoxicating and intense that they wretchedly became windows to my soul. But he had one ugly attitude that turned me off. Calling Ian a jerk is an understatement. He's a straight-up asshole. Every time we're around each other, he does and says whatever he can to get my blood to boil. And he enjoys every minute of it. The problem I have with him is that he's an enemy. Yet whenever I'm near him, the irresistible fragrance that pours off him enhances my desires, and the area between my thighs intensively pulsates. And if my attraction to the asshole increases, I'm afraid he'll catch on to those feelings and take advantage of it by using me to pay off my debt. Even though Ian gets under my skin, I find myself falling for him the more bickering and bantering we do every time we're around each other. And if I can't get these uncontrollable desires of being with Ian under control, I'm afraid Ian and I will find ourselves underneath the sheets. That is if I don't see myself knocking him out of his misery before then.

{Unseen Shadows}🌑🖤 --- Last warning, Elara. Safeword now, or. "Please.. "Elara begged him again".. His face darkened, a cruel smile spreading across his face. "Too late." He grabbed her hips, lifting her up and positioning himself between her thighs. She tensed, her body bracing.......read more.. The city of Ember Hollow was alive, bustling with secrets that danced through the streets like whispers in the night. Everyone knew who controlled it all-the mafia boss, Kade Alistair. Ruthless, sharp-eyed, and powerful, he ruled the underground with a fist of iron. His name alone made men tremble and women disappear behind closed doors. But to the outside world? Kade was nothing more than a shadow, lurking just behind the veil of ordinary life. Kade had his own rules, his own empire. He didn't care about the outside world of kindness and naivety. All that mattered was power, control, and keeping his enemies in line. A cold-hearted king, untouchable, invincible. On the other side of the city, Elara Blake lived a different kind of life-one filled with light. She moved through the world with soft steps, kind words, and a gentle heart. Elara worked at the local flower shop, her days filled with the sweet scent of roses and the warmth of sunlight filtering through glass windows.

Ember Hollow was a world divided. Kade's shadows ruled the night, while Elara's kindness bloomed in the daylight. Two worlds, completely separate, completely unaware of the other's existence...
