Mature
Jay has spent years perfecting her craft in the solitude of her art studio, where the hum of creativity drowns out everything else. The only thing that truly captivates her is the art she creates, until the enigmatic Calista Clarke enters her world. Answering an ad for a model, Calista brings more than just a striking face to Jay's canvas-she brings a magnetic energy that unsettles and ignites a desire Jay can't ignore.
As Jay paints Calista, something begins to shift between them. The lines of the portrait blur, becoming less about capturing a likeness and more about capturing the emotion, the unspoken connection that seems to spark between them every time their eyes meet. But with every brushstroke, Jay finds herself drawn deeper into something far more complex than art: a bond she never anticipated, a truth she's afraid to face.
Calista's presence stirs emotions Jay has spent a lifetime avoiding-vulnerability, longing, and the fear of opening her heart. And as the days pass, both women find themselves standing on the edge of something they can't control. The studio becomes their battleground, their sanctuary, and the place where every moment spent together threatens to shatter the walls they've carefully built around themselves.
As passion simmers beneath the surface, Jay must confront what it means to truly let someone in, and whether her art-and her heart-can survive the unraveling of everything she thought she knew.
Her Portrait  is a beautifully intimate journey that blends the power of art with the raw vulnerability of love, exploring the thin line between creation and destruction, connection and fear, and the courage it takes to step into the unknown. A story about two people who must learn that sometimes the most powerful masterpieces are the ones we never expect-and that love, like art, can be both freeing and terrifying.

The Takeover Was  Personal. by hiiirallll
30 parts Complete Mature
The Takeover Was Personal They were raised as royalty. Crowned by legacy. Trained to win. Trisha Singhania-Trixie to the few who dare-is the sharp-suited, no-nonsense CEO of The Singhania Royale, Rajasthan's most elite 5-star bar, hotel, and restaurant. Known for her calm dominance and piercing charm, she built an empire with her mind-and guarded her heart with steel. Reeva Khanna-Reeves to those who know the softness behind the sarcasm-is the graceful yet cunning CEO of The Khanna Court, a royal 5-star haven of luxury and legacy. With elegance as her weapon and wit as her armor, she's as alluring as she is unreadable. They've known of each other for years-but never met. Until now. At CROWNED: The New Age Icons Awards in Jaipur, their worlds collide. Flirtation sparks. Tension simmers. And when Trisha wins the title, it's not just the trophy that leaves Reeva breathless-it's a look. A silent invitation neither of them is ready to name. A spontaneous business meeting turns into a proposal: Toast of Royals, a new luxury restaurant meant to unite the two empires. What starts as a calculated partnership quickly blurs into late-night talks, casual touches, and a mutual agreement for no-strings sex. But when bodies begin to crave more than just heat, and hearts start asking questions they never intended to answer, it all spirals. Trisha pulls away. Reeva breaks. And just when it seems like desire was all it ever was, fate intervenes. This time, it's not business. It's not rivalry. It's personal. A royal, Sapphic slow-burn featuring rivals turned partners, casual turned complicated, and love that wasn't part of the pitch-but took over anyway.
Push and Pull by JahoonPark
18 parts Ongoing Mature
Blake Johnson never asked for the spotlight. As the heir to her parents' luxury empire, she's spent years pretending-hiding her truth, her pain, and her heart. Being intersex was enough to make her a disappointment. Falling in love with a woman? That would be the final betrayal. Her parents control everything-their image, their company, and now her. When they assign her to oversee their latest photoshoot, she expects another dull, miserable obligation. Then Sabrina Carpenter walks in. Famous. Gorgeous. Untouchable. Sabrina is everything Blake was taught to avoid. Yet the moment their eyes meet, something inside her shifts. The chemistry is instant, undeniable, and far too dangerous. What starts as teasing and stolen glances soon turns into something deeper. They begin sneaking around-late-night calls, secret hotel rooms, and stolen hours where they can finally breathe, where the world can't see them. Every kiss feels like defiance. Every touch feels like freedom. But freedom always comes with a cost. Blake's parents would rather see her broken than happy. Their threats grow crueler, forcing her into an impossible choice. To protect Sabrina, she does the one thing that hurts most - she lets her go. But Sabrina doesn't give up easily. She fights back-fiercely, desperately - for the woman she loves, the love of her life. Even if it means risking her reputation, her career, and everything she's built. Because what they have isn't a scandal. It's love. Real. Wild. Unforgiving. Push and Pull is a dark, passionate romance about identity, control, and the kind of love that demands everything - especially when the world tells you it's wrong.
Juno Attraction by JahoonPark
16 parts Ongoing Mature
On stage, Alex Smith is flawless. Singer. Songwriter. Producer. Actress. Model. Every move rehearsed, every smile a secret. But beneath the lights and applause is someone who's never truly let anyone in - until the night she sees Sabrina Carpenter in the crowd. It's supposed to be routine. The rose she gives out during every performance is part of the act - harmless, symbolic. But when Alex locks eyes with Sabrina, it feels different. Like something inside her recognizes what it's been missing all along. That single gesture changes everything. The chemistry between them is instant - sharp, physical, magnetic. What begins as curiosity and attraction quickly turns into something neither of them can control. Every touch lingers. Every look lasts too long. It's the kind of connection that makes the world fade away. But passion like that doesn't stay hidden for long. In a world built on image, rumors, and envy, both women find themselves walking a line between what they want and what they're supposed to be. Sabrina's heart is still healing, and Alex's is still guarded. Yet, with every secret meeting, every moment spent behind closed doors, what started as desire begins to bloom into something real. Something terrifyingly deep. And just when love finally feels possible, the world reminds them that it's watching - jealous exes, old scars, and dangerous whispers threatening to tear them apart. Still, neither can let go. Because no matter how impossible it seems, that night on stage meant something. It wasn't a performance. It was fate disguised as a rose. 🌹

[Completed] (ShortStory) [women -loving- women] [girlXwoman] I came across a woman, to me, she's different at first sense. I wasn't sure how my existence turns out to be that day. By only gazing at her, I was fallen into my emotions. I couldn't find reasons to take away my eyes off her, millions of thoughts by just gazing at her. My existing state of mind is present at that moment, but I couldn't find any reason to describe her. How I felt, I was fascinated quickly by her. I didn't ask her name, but I saw the card she provided me to pay her bill, her name was Orianna Ferguson. I arrived back to let her sign, she brought her pen and stroke the pen signing, and was done. Noticing, she didn't even stare at all the papers where she signed. I leave after and let her enjoy her moment time alone. "Hey! Kiss! She can't see..." said the other staff saw a lowered tone, almost whispering, lowering her head down. "You didn't notice, do you? No judgments. I mean, she's a regular guest, I call her a lady in a hat." Dana, my co-waitress sneered while she said. Since the day I was bothered by the idea, she got me mesmerized. Should I talk to her? Or rather, have this dumbfounded idea. Waiting and standing here from afar, contented gazing enthralling her unique beauty on purpose. I have a million reasons to accept the fact. Will she be able to see me? Glance back or able to meet our eyes, recognizing me. Have you ever felt something that is missing...?
