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

Bound Together by Everyonehatesmeee__

They say opposites attract. Maybe that's true-but sometimes, attraction feels more like a trap than a blessing. Years ago, a deal was struck between two powerful families in Paris. A bargain meant to shape the future-one sealed with the lives of their grandchildren. A deal no one can escape, not even fate itself. She was an artist, sheltered and untouchable, raised on the blurred edges of forgotten memories. An orphan whose past had been buried in shadows. He was her childhood best friend, torn apart from her by forces neither could control. But obsession never dies. Loss only sharpens it. And now, her past is knocking at her door-dressed in tailored suits, bloodstained loyalty, and a promise he intends to keep. "I could not fathom the feeling when I first saw you again. It was sharp-like glass lodged beneath my skin. Back then, I didn't understand it. But later, much later, I came to know it for what it was. Love. I fell for you as a boy. I fell again when you stepped into my office, unknowing, fragile, still painted in the light you didn't deserve. And I fell hardest when you became mine. Do not mistake me for a good man. I was never that. But even monsters love-and for you, my love was absolute. Obsession dressed as devotion. Devotion dressed as ruin."
