bakery ceo romance shortstory stalker

Rhea's life is a picture of quiet bliss-working in her cozy bakery, surrounded by the sweet smells of fresh pastries, and living a life full of sunlight and simple pleasures. But there's one person who disturbs her peace every day: Keane, the enigmatic and impossibly handsome CEO who comes in every morning, always buying the same thing-red velvet cupcakes.

What she doesn't know is that Keane has been watching her. Not just in the bakery, but in every corner of her life. He knows her routine, her thoughts, her deepest desires. Keane is cold, possessive, and utterly in love with her. And no one-no man, no friend-will stand between them.

Rhea's heart races every time he enters her world, drawn to his dark intensity, but she doesn't realize just how deep his obsession runs. Keane isn't just keeping tabs on her-he's keeping her. And soon, she will understand that no one can have her but him.

In the Shadows of Desire is a haunting tale of obsession, love, and control-where passion is as dangerous as it is intoxicating, and nothing is ever as it seems.

This isn't one I plan on finishing so it will be a quick short story but if you guys like it I might make moreAll Rights Reserved

All Yours by drharleenquinzel_

"Please," I whisper, my voice trembling as tears prick the corners of my eyes. "Please don't hurt me." The words barely escape my throat, fragile and desperate. He studies me for a moment, tilting his head slightly, almost as if he's amused by my plea. Then he scoffs, the sound sharp and mocking. "Why would I want to do that?" he murmurs, his voice smooth but carrying a dark undertone that chills me. He takes a step forward, and instinctively, I step back. "I've just found you..." He pauses, his gaze dragging over my face like a predator sizing up its prey. "And now you're mine." Aurora Evans leads a life of simplicity. Eat, work, sleep-her unchanging regimen is her sanctuary, and she has no intention of altering it. But what unfolds when a shadowy figure, lurking beyond her windows, takes an insidious interest in her? One glance at her in a café ensnares him, rendering him captivated, his singular ambition becoming clear: to claim her as his own. Aurora's attempts to escape his shadowy games are futile, especially in the cloak of night when he emerges, weaving his spell under the cover of darkness. He teases, entices, and pushes her perilously close to her breaking point. Her resolve is to distance herself as much as possible. Yet, fate has a cruel sense of irony. When she is abruptly dismissed from her previous job, she unwittingly lands a position working for him-as his assistant-entangling her in a web she can no longer evade. *A STALKER ROMANCE* #1 in "assistant" 12/23/24 #1 in "criminal" 3/8/25

My Guilty Pleasure by TDimitrijevic98

Desiree Diamond is working hard to get her life on the right track. She's working to gain respect, she's working so she could be independent, to be able to stand on her own two feet. She's keeping herself busy so she could escape from her abusive past and from her addiction... That made other people see her as a presumptuous, egotistical woman, who only cares about her goals and would stop at nothing to achieve them. He was among people who perceive her as a self-centered, egoistical, shallow person and he despises those traits in a woman. Nonetheless, there is something about her that can't escape his mind. With such loading came a much stronger emotion of desire, so he made sure to do everything in his power to get her out of his mind, no matter the consequences. ___________________________________________________________________ - I know you want me. Don't deny it... - I closed my eyes enjoying his touch which is absolutely wrong. I'm not supposed to feel this, not for him. His hand followed the path along my thigh, leaving a tingling sensation in places where he touched me. I bit my lip preventing a moan of pleasure. It's bad enough I can't move away from him, he doesn't have to know how I feel about it. - No... - I tried to refuse but my voice came out deep, sensual... I've never felt like this. - Yeah... You want me... You don't have to restrain yourself, Desiree... just this once, then I'll leave you alone, I promise. I can't get you out of my mind Desiree... Your lips, your eyes, face, body... It's your face that's keeping me awake at night... I want you, here, now! - he leaned in slowly, till his lips were inches away. Then he brought his lips to mine in a kiss full of passion and lust.

It doesn't start with the girl falling for the guy, blushing at his words, and sweet talking. It's about the punk girl who studies to be a Psychologist with black hair and icy blue eyes. Yes, the CEO is good looking, but that doesn't make her take a double take at him. She yells at him, ditches him, and avoids him at all costs until he gives up. But something or someone always brings them back together and someone else's child could eventually tie them both together. Chase Simmons is now the owner of Simmons Banking, a company his mother worked hard to make. Him being 25, he is too engulfed in work to even notice any female looking his way. His best friend, Ryland Collins, tries to help Chase whenever he can to meet someone, but with Chase's constant work, he never accepts them. It isn't until he meets a certain girl when they accidentally swap phones, that he can't help but try to get close to her. Madeline Annabella Hender is a typical 23-year-old punk. She had gone through hell and back for the last two years of her life, that she doesn't tolerate anyone. She only keeps in contact with her brother, Joshua, because she doesn't see any reason to talk to anyone else. So how did this punk catch the CEO's interest? With the only things she knows: sarcasm, anger, and the truth.
