A shared space. A stolen moment. A heart that forgot its rules.

He never said a word. Neither did I.
But in the silence between our footsteps and the awkward glances, something grew-something forbidden.

I wasn't looking for a crush.
And he wasn't supposed to make me feel anything.

But now, I can't unfeel it.

And he can't unsee it.All Rights Reserved

The Love That Ruined Me by lyselune_c

Started: 10/28/2025 Ended: I knew he was married, but I still let myself fall. We were friends before his wife came, not close, not strangers either. We never said what we truly felt, maybe because we were afraid to give it meaning. But fate played its cruel trick. We ended up living in the same boarding house, different rooms, the same secret. We both knew it was wrong, yet we crossed the line anyway. He was my first, my first love, my first sin, my first heartbreak. I thought I could handle it, but loving him was slowly destroying me. So I did the only thing that could save what was left of me. I left him. Because sometimes, walking away doesn't mean you stopped loving. It just means you've finally learned to love yourself.

Widow's Moon by laxmipriya16

They were never meant to look at each other. Never meant to speak beyond what duty allowed. And yet-they did. Their love did not bloom in daylight. It grew in glances. In footsteps that echoed too closely. In words left unsaid because speaking them out loud would shatter everything. It is not a loud kind of love. It doesn't demand or beg. It simply exists-soft, patient, aching. A love that asks for nothing, yet gives everything. A love that dares to exist even when no one is watching. A love that was never allowed to begin... and yet somehow, never ended. Because even in a world that told them you cannot, their hearts whispered, *but we already did. --- Will they end up together??

Unwritten, Until You♡ by MalaJauDe

He was never supposed to matter to me. My sister's husband. Her forever. Her shelter. But when I moved into their home, I met a version of him she never saw, quiet, hurting, misunderstood. And somehow, he saw through me too. It wasn't about stolen glances or hidden touches. It was the silence we shared when words failed. The way he listened when no one else did. The way I felt seen, for the first time in years. Sirish was everything I shouldn't need. But I wasn't just falling for him, I was finding parts of myself in him. It's not love. Not yet. But it's something real. Something that rewrote everything I thought I knew. Even if the world will never understand. ✧ Characters: • Sirish (ML) • Brishti (FL)

she belongs to him by AnjaliKumari318586

There were rules she hadn't been told. Connections she didn't choose. And someone she had yet to meet... but would never forget.

The Girl No One Chose by Nyctovar

I gave him everything. My heart. My body. My secrets. He gave me silence-and loved someone else. I was just the distraction. The warm body. The easy f*ck. Not the girl he showed off. Not the one he kissed in public. Not the one he chose. Now I'm done waiting. Done begging to be seen. Because the girl no one chose... She's about to become the girl no one forgets.

Keeping Bloom by BernieCross

I can save almost anyone's heart-except the one that mattered most. On my twenty-seventh birthday, my husband Spencer collapsed and died in my arms, leaving me with nothing but the echo of his love and the ghost of a future we never had. Two years later, I'm still running-from the grief that won't let go, through endless shifts, sleepless nights, and the sterile walls of Cedars-Sinai. But when a new case rips open old wounds-and an unexpected connection slips past my defenses-I'm forced to face the cracks in my armor. Do I keep surviving in the shadows of the past... or finally fight for the chance to live-and love-again? Because the man I can't stop wanting is my sister's ex- my secret first love- and worse, the one who never got over her.

ATTRACTION ✔ by moonlightgia

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ "Baby, he can't make you feel like I do," he breathes out against my neck as soon as my back hits the wall. "Eli-" "Nobody can make you feel this fucking good." He cuts me off, capturing my mouth into a rough kiss while his hands glide down my body to pull me against him. "Say it. Tell me I'm right." "You're not." I whimper. "No?" he smirks. "I see you need a reminder then." ·˚ ༘₊·꒰➳: ̗̀ [COMPLETED ✔]

Heaven by SofisFD

He's my secret. My deepest temptation. My forbidden desire. And my father's best friend. After spending five months on the road from city to city, blasting the sound of my vintage Mustang with my "outdated music", all I wanted was to return home and figure out what my next step would be. I wasn't really interested in complicating my life any more than it already is. But then I met him. At a roadside bar, as unexpected as it seems, I walked up to him as a joke; a little game. It was like instant death: his deep green eyes, his dark chestnut hair and seductive smile. His kiss. And then he was gone, convincing me it all would become only a good memory at the back of my mind, and I would never see him again. It turns out I couldn't be more wrong. Suddenly, the man who had set my whole body on fire with just a kiss is not only living next door, but is, too, my dad's high school best friend and the father of my first crush from ninth grade. With this secret burning between us, every look is like the most pleasurable of sins; every touch is like a certain damnation. It can never happen. And it only makes me want it more.

Forbidden sparks by starlitwhispherr_

He was my brother's best friend. The one I was supposed to stay away from. But the moment Aarav's eyes found mine at his sister's engagement, I knew staying away would be impossible. He's powerful, untouchable, everything I shouldn't want- And I'm just Sara, a girl trying to survive exams, deadlines, and postings Falling for him wasn't part of the plan. But what happens when forbidden sparks turn into something neither of us can ignore?

Nepenthe by anglzx7

*COMPLETED* He's my best friend. The one person I run to when I don't want to face the world around me, because I know I can hide with him. In the comfort of our silence. Of his touch. My heart has always been his, if only he'd see that I'm right here waiting for the day he will finally notice me. Then, perhaps, he could be mine. But I'm just out of a relationship. And he's unavailable. -•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-• #3 IN MUTUALFEELINGS
