Soulless Seduction: Control
"Your parents don't know, do they?" he asked, walking around me like a cheetah cornering its prey. "What would they do if they knew their little princess was gallivanting around with two guys?" My mouth dropped open in shock, the words sticking to my tongue like molasses. Adonis's smirk grew wider, his eyes gleaming with mischief. He knew. But he didn't know everything. If anyone saw us outside, one could assume Roman was my boyfriend and Levi was a close friend. His threat was solid, but how could I give in so easily. "What are you talking about?" I blurted out, my voice shaking slightly. But the lie was a poorly stitched patch on a tattered dress. Adonis stepped closer, his breath hot on my neck as he leaned in. "Come back to me and your little secret remains as such." ➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿ Alina Collier never thought she would ever see the kinky side of her life ignited. She had been cautious of men since her last bad breakup, giving her almost five years of blissful solitude. But her new sexy neighbor had other plans, lighting a fire in her that she had long ago put out. Levi Grey never anticipated moving to a new city and sleeping with his neighbor hours before being invited to meet her family. Behind closed doors and out in the open, he had always been the dominant type. No woman said no to him, and Alina was no exception. Roman Porter, a man of few words and killer looks, has his eyes on both of them. Something about them intrigues him, drawing him closer to the past he so desperately wanted to leave behind. But even when things start going his way, the world seems to be against the future he wants to build. ©️ 2024 RhydianAdhaya
Bride of the Greek Prince
Perdita just wanted a vacation. Three weeks free of a certain annoying coworker constantly one-upping her. No impossible demands by a boss looking for any excuse to fire her. No nagging from her father and step-witch about when she is going to give them grandchildren like her perfect step-sister. Three weeks of relaxation on a Nile River cruise... But misfortune seems to follow Perdita (could it be because she was named after the tragic Shakespearean character?). Before she can settle into her vacation, Perdita falls into an exhibit on the ship, accidentally touching an ancient relic of unknown origin. Perdita finds herself being transported to ancient Egypt where she is being tried as a criminal... Lucky, or unlucky for her, Mycenaean prince Acacius takes in interest in her, calling her "Helen." He decides to bring her back to Mycenae with him to serve him as his wife. Perdita soon finds herself wrapped up in ancient politics, war, magic, and love... She wanted a vacation... not an adventure... *Some liberties have been taken with dates and historic events. Some changes are explained throughout the story and will make sense as you read... others are to make the timeline fit :)*

All I Need ✔️
"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers.

But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.Complete
