All her life, Mia's been either Black or White. She had to choose a side when it came to how she talked, how she dressed, what she wanted to be when she grew up, even how she wore her hair. So why should her morals be any different? Except, when it came to bad or good, she always chose the latter. In her eyes, unlike the color of her skin, she couldn't be both, so she chose good. She never let a sliver of darkness escape that hidden place inside her soul. Then came a contradiction. A beautiful one at that. Would she choose to continue seeing the world in two opposing colors, or finally embrace the tempting shades between?

Lessons of the Heart (TeacherxStudent - wlw)
It was never supposed to mean anything. Just a fleeting moment. A beautiful mistake, soaked in midnight and quiet desperation. One night to forget the rules. To taste freedom in the arms of a stranger. To let go without thinking of the morning after. No goodbyes. No consequences. Only touches that lingered too long, and memories etched into skin like whispers. But fate doesn't play fair. Because when Mia stepped into her classroom that Monday morning, time didn't just stop. It held its breath. And there she was. The stranger from that night. But not draped in shadows this time. No, now she stood in the light. Composed. Commanding. Off-limits. Her new English teacher. Their eyes met. A flash of recognition. A pause too long to be innocent. Mia's heart stumbled in her chest. The room faded, voices dulled, the world narrowed to just her. The woman she wasn't supposed to see again. The woman who now held her future in the palm of her hand. And maybe, just maybe, still remembered everything.Complete

They meet and attempt to help each other, no romantic feelings but life makes everything harder and they can't stay away from each other. ** There is a lot of mature content in this book and I will not be putting warnings before as it will be long: this includes, sex (between more than one partner), drug abuse, sexual assault and harassment, mental illness and others. Please do not read if you feel as though you will be triggered** He stalked his way towards her. No words were uttered. Pure lust evident in their eyes. He backed her into a corner, she was looking everywhere but him, she couldn't, she shouldn't. His hand toyed with the hem of her dress. He hesitated. His mind was racing with thoughts of how he shouldn't, he couldn't. Her heartbeat picked up, her breaths quickened, her body needed him. He saw the affect he had on her. Pulling up her dress, he saw she had no panties on. Enraged he wrapped his hand around her neck, choking her, making her look into his eyes. His other hand slid into her folds, she was soaking wet, just for him. She whimpered in response. She couldn't get enough. Her hips rocked back and forth along with his fingers. He added another. Yet to kiss her, he pushed the thought out of his head. Her body began to rock faster, causing moans to fall from her mouth. He bent down to her ear and whispered, "Perché non possiamo semplicemente stare lontani gli uni dagli altri belli?". (Why can't we just stay away from each other beautiful?).Complete
Always, Love (girlxgirl)
Mia's mom has been moving her around from state to state for years on end. One night, Mia and her mother were kicked out of their home, previously shared with one of her mother's temporary lovers. The two were forced to leave. Mia had no idea what was happening. Her mother seems to be keeping something from her. They fly to England that same night, and Mia's life will forever be changed. Read along as Mia's life shifts, and she falls in love with her protector; a mesmerizing woman named Jamie. Enjoy!! Disclaimer: This story involves a specific power dynamic. The romance between the two women are that of a stone top and pillow princess. (If you don't know what those are, I will leave descriptions of the terms below.) Stone top- a wlw (women loving woman) who prefers to not me touched sexually by their partner or dominated, and instead gets pleasure from dominating or "topping" their partner. Pillow princess- a wlw (women loving woman) who prefers to only receive sexual pleasure from their partner. A pillow princess is typically a bottom and enjoys being "topped". Why I decided on this dynamic: - I feel like this form of power struggle isn't talked about enough, ESPECIALLY pillow princesses. Being a pillow princess does not make you ANY LESS VALID in your sexuality!!! Sometimes people only like to hold one role in the sexual aspect of their relationship, and that's okay!! Mia is still a lesbian, despite her preference in only receiving. Just like how Jamie is still a lesbian, despite her preference in only giving. That's all!! Warnings include: Smut warning ⚠️ Fluff warning Heavy mentions of the mafia Mentions of gore later in the story⚠️ Brief mentions of sexual assault ⚠️ I hope you enjoy this girlxgirl story!! 💕

Beautiful in Jada
The strong pull to her. The desire to have something you never thought you would want again. A glance turned into an obsession. And he would stop at nothing to get her. He would do anything he could to keep her. He cared so much for only her Alessio Bucceri was a man who could have anything he ever wanted. Until he wanted that one thing to need him back. Circumstances run in his favor as the woman of his dreams landed into his domain. He would never let her go. A chance glance turned obsession. #1 BWWN! #1 Mafia [4/12/24] *Book excerpt* -- Her cheeks turned red, ever so slightly through her chocolate skin. Her skin looked and felt so smooth. She liked the compliments, the Italian flare. It ropes many women, but the way she looked at me with her big almond eyes had my mind racing and my body in overdrive. She was not immune to my charm, even in her current situation. Her hair was in a slick bun. I was sad not to be able to see the curls adorne her face. And yet she stared at me again, watching me like a dog. Curious gazes. It was fun to tease, and the response I got back over affirmed my teasing. She seemed more relaxed with me. She looked away from me. She stared out the window watching the street ride by. It was silent for a while as I texted my subordinates basic commands. Nothing conspicuous. "Alessio, where are you taking me," her voice piped up. Seems like it took her a while to muster up the courage. I loved her sweet voice when it spoke me me and when she said my name... It was such a turn-on. She wasn't supposed to really ask questions. I don't like lots of questions. I thought about the best way to respond but opted not to say anything at all. She was as stubborn as always, forgetful too. She scanned around me before huffing to herself and looking back out the window. -- Started 06/08/2023- 8/14/2023 Highest Rankings: #7 Arranged [4/26/24] #26 Older #1 Bwwm #13 Man #1 Mafia #1 lovetragedy #6 lovestory #5 BlackwomenComplete
The Stars Choose Our Lovers
I was 5 years old when I met Mia. I knew I loved her from the day I met her. We did everything together, and we were inseparable. People judged us. All eyes were on us because she is black and I am white. We didn't mind because we were each other's light during the darkness of their stares. I never understood why it is so easy for people to hate, as opposed to love. Kindness is contagious, and we all should pass it along. I fell in love with Mia. Her flaws were perfect in my eyes, and I knew she would always be my Mia. I love her just as much as the bees love honey. I love her so much to the point her love is the only unconditional love I ever knew. Sad, but dreadfully true, when I look in Mia's eyes, I wonder, does she feel the same way about me. Am I her light? Does she accept my flaws, and are they perfect in her eyes? Am I the sun to her desert? Am I her rainbow after a rainy day? I hope she loves me just as much as I love her. My biggest concern is-after all the years we've been best friends, will our parents accept us? I'm scared. I'm afraid that if I tell Mia how I feel, I will lose everything we have built. I keep asking myself, should I express my feelings, or should I keep them to myself? I deserve to be loved, right? I will never know unless I take a chance. Will I have the courage, or will I let my true love slip away? I've always believed that the stars choose our lovers. I wonder did the stars choose Mia for me?Complete
