The sun, a relentless warrior, blazed down on the Northern Beaches. Inside a charming beach cottage, a battle was brewing. Not over territory, but over temperature!

In one corner stood Captain Cool, a squad of sleek aluminium Venetian blinds. "We'll reflect that heat right back at the enemy," they clanked in unison.

Opposite them, Sergeant Shade, a platoon of sturdy timber plantation shutters, stood firm. "We offer insulation, my friends," they boomed, "a cool haven from the sun's fiery wrath!"

The homeowner, a sun-weary soul named Beatrice, watched the debate unfold.  She craved both privacy and a shield from the afternoon heat.

Suddenly, a tiny voice piped up. It was Roller Boy, a lone roller blind, usually relegated to the bathroom.  "Why not combine forces?" he squeaked.

Beatrice's eyes lit up.  She envisioned Captain Cool's heat-reflecting prowess working alongside Sergeant Shade's insulating power.  Roller Boy could add a touch of playful colour in the living room.

And so, a truce was formed!  Together, the blinds and shutters fought the heat, creating a haven of cool comfort for Beatrice.  The Northern Beaches sun, though strong, found itself defeated by the power of teamwork (and a well-chosen window treatment strategy).

Is your home locked in a similar battle?  Head down to your local Northern Beaches blinds and shutter specialists.  With their expertise, you too can create a window covering masterpiece that conquers the heat and brings peace (and cool breezes) to your home!

I felt the bed dip as he sat down on the other side but I focused solely on my task until I was done. "This is a pillow barrier. Meaning, you don't breach this side of the pillows." I instructed, my voice firm. "What if I don't want anything between us?" Phoenix said in a husky voice, and I risked a glance. Bad choice. His eyes were dark and his gaze was on my lips, to my chest, then back to my lips. "Eyes up here, buddy." I snapped the third time his eyes went down to my chest. All he did was turn off the lights. When it was dark, he whispered," Can't I admire what is mine?" I had no answer, and turned on my side. He sighed. Despite taking two naps today, I was out cold the minute my head hit my pillow. I could only hope that in the morning, the pillow barrier was still there. ***** Adira has a secret, one she would do anything to protect. She's built barriers around her heart, so strong that only the most powerful force could break them down. Adira was an Alpha's daughter, 19 years old, and didn't want a mate. She was too focused on figuring out what her deadly secret meant for her and those she loved. When she discovered her mate was Alpha Phoenix, she was sure the Moon Goddess was trying to punish her. As truths unfold and loyalty is put to the test, her secret comes to light. Those she loves and the ones who would hurt her without a second thought find out, and she finds out a certain Twin has her in his sights. Will she open up to Phoenix? Will he break down her walls? Or will they both drown in truth's untold? (The first book in the Hybrid Series.) #4 in Werewolf #4 in Possessive mate *You may cry, laugh, smile, curse and/or experience mood swings while reading* * Warning: Not as cliche as it first seems:)*

Still mourning from the untimely death of her mother, and a week before leaving the Nassau county with her best-friend, and with that, everything else she had ever known, Sol find herself wrongfully charged and incarcerated for the murder of a member of her family. Already depressed at the idea of her once-promising future now marred by the bleak confine of a prison cell, she now also has to the deal with the fact that she has just caught the eyes of a man, whose power and reputation for brutality alone precede him. ....... "Little flower" , He said, his fingers gently tilting my head up to look at him. "Yes", I breathlessly exhaled "If you ever speak to me like that again, I will rip your fucking throat out.", He continued with a terrifying smile. ...... - And because his ancestors were never picky about their business endeavours, partly due to their direct ties to royalty, and due to their connections to upper-class members of the justice system in Europe and eventually in North America and Asia, the man's family had been direct benefactors of both world wars due to their involvement in the weapon industry, and as suppliers of the adrenaline-pumping drug both the Germans and the French/Americans were injecting in their soldiers before sending them to battle. It's safe to say the man's power knew no bound or restrain. Power that carried through with every single one of the man's actions. Indeed, The man never yelled and never raised his voice, he never had to. The man was curt in his speech. His deep, raspy, baritone voice almost always resonated through with the same monotonous tone. Unless it was to handle his bi-daily entertainments, which were often eccentric in genre and deriving from eclectic sources. It was only then, you'd see the man's eyes twinkle with amusement, frequently at the expense of others. - ______ WARNING [Contains mature, potentially triggering content]

I can also show no mercy in bed. you're not sensitive, so you should be able to take the degrading. right, Tesoro?" he asks, i nod. "you know it's not true though. you know I love and cherish you, beautiful," he says slowly. "right?" "mhm." I nod. Mateo slowly starts speeding up his thumb, on my clit. "right. now I know, my Tesoro isn't so vanilla and innocent. So tell me, love. do you have any kinks?" the question catches me off guard. do I? "ya," I mumble. "I want you to list them," he whispers, I can hear the smirk on his face. "bondage, CNC- shit- dirty talk, uh-um, choking, degrading, stimulation. fuck i can't think," I mumble. "you've said my favourites, but have you ever heard of darcyphilia?" he asks, slowly entering his finger again. "n-no." I stutter. "well, I want to fuck you, overstimulate you, edge you, until you're in tears, chanting your safe word." _________________________________ ⚠️ I WON'T CONSIDER THIS BDSM, BUT IT DOES CONTAIN HEAVY SMUT⚠️ ⚠️ THIS BOOK DOES NOT PROMOTE TEEN PREGNANCY⚠️ ⚠️EVERYTHING OTHER THEN THE MAFIA CULTURE AND RACIAL CULTURES ARE FICTION⚠️ ⚠️ THIS BOOK IS CONSIDERED 18+ BUT IF YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE IT...

I pull my canteen out and take a swig of my hot cider letting it warm my body, but got interrupted by my sister shouting at me over the wind. "Can you take a picture of me? I have to post it to my followers when we get back down the mountain!" I roll my eyes and turn towards her, I don't even have to say anything to her, because she knows i'll always take photos for her as annoying as she may be. I peel off my mittens and feel the harsh wind eat away at my bare fingers. I stuff them in my bag, before I grab her phone and start backing up to get a better angle of her. She stands by the edge of the cliff and poses. I snap a few photos then flip the camera to take a few selfies with her in the background, even with her words of protest. I walk up to her at the edge, feeling the snow crunch under my boots, and hand her phone back. I then swing my rucksack around to the front of me, get on my knees and start to dig around for my mittens. I suddenly feel the ground shake under me. Before I could even stand up fully, the snow under my legs crumble before my eyes. Holy fuck. The snow is coming loose and is avalanching. I already feel my body fall backwards as the ground under me disappears. I look up at my sister whose face has morphed into shock. My body feels as light as a feather. This is the end for me I know it. I brace my self for deadly impact, but it never comes.. A bright light flashes as everything around me goes white. I wake up to be laying in soft snow with my rucksack on top of me. My head spun as I sat up. I look around and all I see are large trees. In fact, these trees look larger than any i've ever seen in my life, which includes the ones on Animal Planet. Where the hell am I? I look up at the sky and I see two suns? Did I get a concussion? No that can't be, i'm not seeing double with trees or my fingers. {Transmigration to Beast Continent successful} {System 002 has now been assigned to you}

*His eyes were the first thing I noticed as he looked up at me. Such a dark blue they reminded me of sapphires. My heart jumped at the feel of them as he held my gaze. I was in a trance unable to look away and it was as if he could see into the very soul that gave my body life. My skin crawled with goosebumps as his eyes changed from curious to predatory in a matter of moments. A shudder passing through me as my heart beat faster. He could see me. Like really see me and I cringed at the gut wrenching fear that ran through me, watching as his tongue ran smoothly over his lips. He looked like a predator about to hunt his prey. Me being that prey. His grin was intimidating as he spoke to the boy next to him and began to come my way.* Lacey Yasmine just moved to the small town of Moonlight Creek with her aunt seeking new lives in a place where they could start over. A place where their demons would be safely locked away behind the barrier. A place where they wouldn't dare to follow. Moonlight Creek was where the largest pack lived and this is where her secret would be the safest, where she would be the safest. Right here in the heart of the wolves den. Lacey could feel it like she felt everything. Until unforeseen situations take place and the life she worked so hard to rebuild begins to crumble changing for all time. Change was good. Welcomed even. But this time she had everything to lose. By birthright, and with the essence of her very being, she can only hope for the strength to stand tall and proud when the time came to reveal her secret and that the wolves would listen.

| Happy Lowman x OC - COMPLETED | Sunshine. That's how they, her family and friends, called Cassie Connor most of the time. With her brunette hair, the ocean blue eyes and a smile that was wide but never reached her eyes she was one of the prettiest in the small town she lived in. Tacoma wasn't so big and lots of people knew each other. Many loved her for her kindness, others envied her. However, Cassie never understood how anyone could envy her. A life where her father was gone and a mother who never cared much about her children, a big brother who had barely time and a little brother who was out of control, was anything but easy. On top of that she recently lost her job as a nurse and slipped back into her party phase. Wake and bake became her new motto. Her heavy cannabis use not only worried her brother but also his best friend, Happy Lowman. The heavily tattooed biker was part of SAMCRO since years, yet he made sure to visit every few months⸺ especially since he still shared an apartment in town with Cassie. They always had been close and had that type of friendship everyone wanted. That was until he left town to start a new life in Charming, leaving her with an emptiness no one else could fill, yet she understood why he had to leave. When Happy visited Tacoma again after a long time, he quickly realized that Cassie was just as close to the abyss as her younger brother, whom he had picked up in California and brought with him.

⚠️I am keeping this up because it was a big part of my life when I was going through a lot of shit! But it's not being completed. I just dont have the heart to take it down⚠️ Ashley West is your almost average seventeen-year-old girl. With her mum in hospital she is forced to quit school and work two jobs. Lucky for her she has an amazing friend, Trinity Barker, who will stay by her side no matter what. Reese Anderson is the soon to be Alpha of the Shining Moon Pack. He and his best friend, Nico Young, had forever longed for their mates, but as time went by they started to lose hope. That was until Reese came across a stranded girl and Nico met her friend. A night alone in the house. Pile of films and a tub of ice-cream. And a knock on the door. *** "I think we have a torch in the kitchen, Trinity said, getting to her feet and making her way to the kitchen. Ashley was about to follow her but froze when three knocks echoed through the house. Trinity's torch illuminated the fear on both of their faces. Three more knocks. Ashley gently placed down Bingo. Another three knocks. Mustering all of her strength, Ashley made her way to the door, Trinity and Bingo right behind her. Ashley pulled back the knit curtain slightly and peered out the window, only to see black figures. She twisted the lock and opened the door ever so slightly. The moonlight was now their only source of light, Trinity's phone having just died, and even though it wasn't the brightest of all lights it was enough to make out facial features. The boys that had helped her jumpstart her car were standing outside Trinity's house as if it was something they did every day. Creeps. *** Amazing cover done by UnIdentified512
