Bia, a romance writer with a vibrant soul, was stuck. After months battling writer's block, she found inspiration in Eros-a man of intense control, devastating charm, and a brilliant legal mind dedicated to justice. Their connection was immediate, intense, and hot.

But their fast-burning romance quickly faces a brutal test. When a highly dangerous new case lands on Eros's desk, the escalating threats are too severe for simple legal tactics. The situation forces Eros to utilize the one thing he swore he'd left behind.


Excerpt:


I moved toward him, a slow, deliberate walk, his gaze locked on mine even as he set his phone aside. Standing before him, I placed my hands on his shoulders, a soft, teasing caress. Straddling his lap, I wrapped my hands around his neck. "About that late-night snack," I murmured, my voice a low, husky whisper against his ear. His breath hitched, and his hand moved up my back, tracing the curve of my spine, his fingers threading through my hair. The sudden, gentle pull on my hair, tilting my head back, was a jolt of pure desire. "Which snack are we referring to?" he asked, his nose brushing against my neck, followed by soft kisses. A moan escaped my lips. I'd thought I was in control. "Honestly," I breathed, "I'm dangerously close to simply letting you devour me," I confessed.

Love Penalty by DramaQueenforreal
33 parts Complete
COMPLETED✅ The punishment for murder is the death penalty, what about love? "Innocent until proven otherwise" Does this apply to matters of the heart? A story in which a lawyer ends up defending an inmate convicted of rape and second degree murder- that he claims he never did. Is he guilty? Is he innocent? Most importantly, is it morally acceptable to fall in love with an alleged murderer and rapist, let alone a client of hers? ❣️❣️❣️ Excerpt: When his shirt is dangling from his hand with him lifting it up towards his face to wear it, I snatch it from his hands. Throw it on the table beside me and grab his neck with one hand and my other traces his defined abs, and kiss him with full force. I thought he might pull away, saying he doesn't feel the same way towards me and I'm just his lawyer. That we're adults and need to refrain from acting like hormonally-driven teenagers. On the contrary -to my surprise - he kisses me back with the same amount of intensity and passion. One hand is on the side of my face and the other is holding me by the waist. We both taste like waffles and fresh strawberries and it's not something to complain about. Only when we're both out of breaths, we pull away, he smiles against me "What was that for?" He asks with his both hands on my waist now. "I've been meaning to do that for a while now" I truthfully answer his question. He has been on my mind 24/7 non stop from the moment I took his case. ❣️❣️❣️ *contains mature themes. *contains swearing. 8/3/2020 -> #1 in OnTrialForMurder #2 in notmeanttobe 8/8/2020 -> #3 in wtfamidoing 10/16/2021 -> #13 in fml 7/20/2021 -> #1 in ihateeverything 10/10/2021 -> #39 in mixedfeelings 4/18/2022 -> #1 in prison #2 in murder #1 in lawyer #1 in damaged

15 parts Ongoing Mature
Lilah Hunter doesn't blur lines. As a sharp-tongued corporate lawyer with a ruthless work ethic and a closet full of control, she's has learnt to build her entire life on boundaries, no one gets inside her armor. And definitely not an arrogant, charming billionaire. Theo Grey. Infuriatingly confident, dangerously observant, and hellbent on pushing her buttons. With just a glance, he can unravel the cool, confident woman she's worked so hard to become. He drives her insane... yet she can't seem to escape the way he makes her feel. . . . Then punish me, Lilah," he whispered, low, deliberate, sinful. My name rolled off his tongue like it was made for my lips alone. Heat pooled deep inside me. My mind teetered on the edge of surrender. A dangerous idea struck. I tilted my head, eyes locked on his, and let my fingers drift over his forearm- the one resting on my thigh. Featherlight, I traced up to his bicep, over the curve of his neck, and finally let the back of my hand brush his cheek. My thumb traced over his bottom lip in a slow, deliberate caress. His gaze followed, wide, hungry, submitting under my touch. "Do I plan on punishing you, Grey?" I murmured, letting my voice drip with false innocence. I bit my lower lip, slow enough for him to notice, and held his eyes while I did it. He seized my wrist with his free hand, fingers strong and possessive. His eyes flicked to my mouth, back to my eyes, then back down again. Every lean forward, every shift of his body screamed that he wanted more. Needed more.

I woke up in the morning and felt the pain in a place I've never hurt before. I took a peek at my own body, and my mind went blank. My eyes found a man who was lying beside me, sleeping, and my mind brought me back to me all the crazy things that happened last night. My 2 years boyfriend dumped me, I was drunk and went to my hotel room alone. Someone climbed on me. To say that he was handsome is an understatement. If an angel could marry a devil, then I'm sure he was their son. But that was not the point! He came to me and kissed me. One thing led to another.. God! This guy took my virginity. And that was not the worst. Guess what! He was my new boss. I was his new executive assistant. To top it, my ex boyfriend accused my boss that he raped me. What should I do? Trust my ex boyfriend who just dumped me? Or.. trust my new boss who was sexy as hell (that's not the point, by the way) and the one who took my virginity? Words {[150.000-200.000]} First Chapter published on July 4th , 2020.

It wasn't but apparently it became when a sudden heart-wrenching event drastically changed her life. And once it started getting messy, the list never stopped and so it was. It became more complicated when Christian Woods, the bad boy stepped in. With Destiny playing its trump cards, they'll come across but what happens when you fall in love with that particular 'stay away from' boy? Shakespeare said, the course of true love is never easy and so it is.Maybe it's your same cliché highschool badboy love story but with a touch of salt. Amidst all these drama of highschool and all the outer negative forces putting on their act, will their love sustain? ▪️▪️▪️ ▪️ His lips came closer and mine parted slightly but he diverted and dug his head in the crook of my neck. My fingers travelled through his hairs as he teased me with his lips playfully. Tracing my collarbone and then making it all the way up to my ears. My fingers wrapped around the back of his neck and I crashed my lips on his, perfectly entwining with the buttery movement. Our lips parted as our tongues met, dancing and twirling as if discovering each inch. The continuation of his nibbling at my lower lip dragged it much deeper into more velvety chemistry and more passionately electrifying. When our lips parted, we were utterly breathless. I just lost myself, sitting on his lap and staring into his eyes. "Shall we have breakfast?" I whispered. "I'm having mine right now," he whispered as his lips brushed against my ear and he gently bit my earlobe. "Ah!" a silent gasp left my lips automatically and I felt his smirk against my skin. 🥉Black and Gold Flames Awards © SANYUKTA

I quickly turned away from him, to get the hell out of the room. But he caught my arm and pulled me back into his chest. Shit. Fuck.

I didn't reply. This is exactly the situation I didn't wanna get into, cause I know I melt when he says shit like that. ❝You gonna give up resisting me now?❞ His lips barely touching my ears.

In this time of hardship, Emily and Brendan have emerged as steadfast companions. Emily faithfully visits, tenderly combing Avery's hair and engaging in heartfelt conversations as if she were awake. Her feeble attempts at humor directed at Avery serve as a gentle reminder that, no matter how dire the circumstances, we can find solace in one another's presence. Meanwhile, Brendan takes it upon himself to keep Avery connected to the world beyond her bedside. Each day, he immerses himself in the twins' lives, regaling them with amusing and endearing tales of their mother's youth, ensuring that her spirit remains alive in their hearts. I miss you, Avery, I miss your laughter and dazzling smiles. I miss how you challenge me at every turn. I never knew that the world was brighter when you smiled your dazzling smile upon me. That the air was fresher when you were in my presence. That you were my true home, a place where I could be free to be myself. You are my heart it beats only for you and our kids.

"Are you coming to bed firefly?" He says to me laying his hands over my waist joining me in looking over the city. "I want to look out for a little longer if that is alright?" I mumble hoping that he heard me anyways, I wasn't ready to walk into that bedroom, and I don't think I ever would be. "Of course, I'll be getting ready for bed, come in whenever you are ready." He says confidently and walks away leaving my waist cold something for which I am grateful. Especially when my mind burns with other more dangerous thoughts. The warmth that forever lingers in the air, never burning the skin, but always reminding about what is around us. I force air into my lungs feeling the unexpected warmth fill me. He stands in the room watching me even though he said he was getting ready for bed. He is worried about me, about me jumping. I have contemplated it I will admit, but he would stop me before I fell even two feet. I was stuck, and no one could save me. Not even myself, my fucking weak self. His presence is demanding no matter where we are, but right now I could sense everything about him, and I try to suppress the unwanted feelings that curl right under my skin. "Firefly? About done?" He calls out and I release my hand from the guard rail not realizing that as I looked at the lights that covered the shining city with the falling fire in the background that my subconscious was thinking about how nice it would be... how relieving it would be... to just fall. True freedom. I take a step back and wrap my hands together turning around to a fully clothed unchanged man and nod once. I could see the fear in his eyes that I would, he knows if he gave me the chance... I wasn't ready for this, but I had to survive. No matter what. Highest Ranks: #17 In Romance #5 in Soulmates

Part 1/Book One currently not available and in the professional editing stage. Part 2 UPDATED WEEKLY for current readers He finally released my legs, allowing me to slide down his body until my feet hit the floor, but that was as far as he let me go. Heat was radiating off him, scorching me all the way down my spine as he held me tightly against him. His quick breaths were falling on the back of my neck with a tingling warmth that brought goosebumps to the surface of my skin. Placing one large hand on my shoulder, he wrapped my long brown hair around his other. Gently, he tugged on my dark mane, pulling my head to the side and exposing the tender column of my neck. Bringing his nose down to the crook there, he inhaled deeply, a rumbling "mmmm" escaping his lips. My mouth went dry. "Are-" I swallowed. "Are you going to mark me?" I manage in a stuttered whisper.

Storm, Meet Raine by Oneinamillie

"We share a fucking bed!" He follows me out of the bathroom, grabbing my wrist when I had turned my back to him. "What's fucking wrong with you now? You threw a bitch fit when you were at the hospital, and now when I compliment you, you're mad at me." "Maybe you shouldn't give compliments with the hope of getting me on your dick!" I snatch my wrist back, turning around to face him, but I smacked into his chest. He took that as an opportunity to grab both of my arms and hold them together behind me. "If I wasn't raised better, I'd spit on you." "And if I wasn't raised better, I'd kick your motherfucking teeth out," he gritted, shaking me when I struggled in his hold. "Would you stop!" He raised his voice, causing my insides to quiver, and my limbs stopped moving. "What is your problem?" "I'm not one of them," I spit angrily, "You can't make me look stupid before charming me. If you think you have to force yourself to compliment me in order for me to spread my legs, then you don't know me," I breathed harshly, my chest brushing against his body, and momentarily, his eyes flickered downward. "I'm offended. You think I'm trying to 'charm' you," he uses air quotations before slamming me against the wall right next to the bed, "When all I have to do is wink to get you to flood your underwear." "I'd like to see you try." I grind out, causing him to smirk at me. A different one this time. One that unsettled me. His lips curved up nicely, yes, but his eyes weren't sparkling with mischief. He didn't seem too happy with me calling him out the way I did. "Bet," he inhaled sharply before backing away from me, his smirk lifting higher, and it morphed into a beautiful smile. "See you at practice, bitch." Carson 'Storm' Speros and Raine Carter have a long way to go, battling through the abnormalities of their unique college and the tough time sharing a baseball team. Will Raine start to see the light in Carson and accept him? We'll see.
