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.

The Unlocked Door by kara_fd

"I told myself it was just a crush. Then I forgot to lock the bathroom door, and he caught me with my hand between my legs, whispering his name." Emerson has the perfect distraction for her chaotic life: Friday night movie marathons at her best friend Chloe's house. Everything is safe. Everything is normal. Except for the low, dangerous hum of Elias Thorne, Chloe's reserved, salt-and-pepper gorgeous father, the man who smells like black coffee and forbidden desire. He's forty-something, untouchable, and utterly off-limits. She's eighteen, reckless, and obsessed with the casual authority in his eyes. One night, driven by a humiliating rush of forbidden impulse, Em slips into the bathroom. She's supposed to pee and leave. Instead, she's sitting on the edge of the tub, letting her mind run wild with the memory of his broad shoulders and his dark, penetrating gaze. She's breathless, trembling, and utterly lost in a private, guilty moment. Then, the click. She forgot the lock. Elias Thorne is standing in the doorway. He sees everything-the shock on her face, the shame, and the raw, undeniable need. In the searing, electric silence, he doesn't yell. He doesn't slam the door. He just stands there, his throat tightening, as Emerson's body betrays her with a whispered moan of climax. Now, the world hasn't ended, but it's changed. The shame is crushing, but the thrill is addictive. In the quiet exchanges across the living room, they share a scorching secret that Chloe can't see. He remembers exactly what he saw. And Em knows the final, dangerous truth: She wanted him to catch her... and now they both have to live with the consequences. A slow-burn, agonizingly tense story about forbidden obsession, power dynamics, and the danger of an unlocked door.

The King's Puppy (Mxb) by sicklykid

;triggers warning; 🛑this book involves abuse, kidnapping, psychological conditioning, and hints at rape maybe more🛑 "you're nothing more than a dog that is here only to entertain me and if you think that you could be anything higher than that you're wrong," He said chuckling deeply making my lump in my throat grow bigger. I just wanna go home, I don't wanna be here anymore someone please hear my prayers or kill me Nothing taught Noah what to do once he got himself into the position that he did. There are only three choices, escape, survive or die.

The Edge of Almost by Sylvyrra

"I didn't mean to fall for him. Not while I was still trying to love someone else." One lie was all it took to unravel the life I thought I had. Before the heartbreak, there was chaos. Old friends turning into strangers, feelings I wasn't suppose to feel, and a love that once felt like forever. I thought I knew what real love was. I thought I knew who I was. Until everything changed. Now I'm standing at the edge of almost--- almost happy, almost healed, almost honest. When almost isn't enough, what's left to hold on to?

Halfway To Forever by blueberrykisses18

They started as classmates, then friends, then something that didn't quite fit any word. The problem? Neither of them were ready to call it love. They never meant to fall for each other. It just happened quietly, in glances that lingered too long and silences that said too much. What started as teasing and shared notes turned into something heavier, something neither of them dared to name. Elena swears she's fine keeping it undefined, even when her heart stumbles every time his eyes find hers. And Noah he hides behind jokes, behind that easy confidence, pretending he doesn't care when he clearly does. It's the kind of almost love that burns slow, the kind that ruins you softly. Between laughter and denial, comfort and confusion, they walk the line between friendship and something more, too scared to cross it, too scared to let go. __ Friends to something less than lovers, more than bestfriends.

Unholy | Noah Sebastian by Broken_Halo_21

Noah is a guardian, trying to get back into the Creator's graces, but he's got his work cut out for him trying to keep Briar safe. CW: If you've been here before you know there's emotional damage ahead, but on top of that there's heavy mentions of mental health and suicide. This is dark and about an alternate universe. Humans are in cages, one is a pet. There will be violence and gore; mentions of sexual assault but no actual assault. There is light bondage and public sex and humiliation and probably a lot of other things that I don't remember. Please, read with caution. And for you hoes that love trigger warnings; this one's for us.

The Shadow I Loved... by Aryan234567

He came like a secret, wrapped in silence and danger. Everyone warned me to stay away - but how do you escape someone who never chases, only watches? His words were rare, but his presence spoke louder than any promise. With every stolen glance, I lost a little more of myself... and found a side of me I never knew existed. Now I can't tell if he's protecting me from the darkness - or if he is the darkness itself. A story of obsession, surrender, and the kind of love that burns quietly... until it consumes you.

Through the Lavender Fields by Imverybisexualbtw

Ethan James, a travel writer from the U.S., has just emerged from a painful breakup. Seeking peace and inspiration, he escapes to the lavender fields of Provence, France, hoping to write his next book. There, he meets Julien Delacroix, a quiet, reserved local perfumer who crafts exquisite fragrances from the lavender Ethan adores. Their first encounter is far from smooth-Ethan accidentally crashes into Julien's bike, sparking tension. Julien, however, offers a deal: Ethan can help with the lavender harvest, and Julien will forgive the damage to his prized bicycle. Though they are opposites, Ethan's openness and enthusiasm slowly break through Julien's barriers. Julien has spent years avoiding the emotional turmoil of a past love lost. His lavender farm, a quiet haven, serves as both refuge and reminder of his pain. Ethan's relentless curiosity begins to draw him out of his shell, and they start spending more time together-working in the fields, distilling lavender oil, sharing meals under the fading sunlight. A tentative friendship forms, but as their connection deepens, so does the risk of vulnerability. As the summer festival celebrating the lavender harvest nears, their chemistry becomes undeniable. A night of dancing beneath the stars turns their bond into a blossoming romance. However, Julien, afraid of repeating past heartache, pushes Ethan away, fearing love will only leave him broken again. Caught between the promise of a new life with Julien and the demands of his career back home, Ethan must choose-follow his professional obligations or open his heart to a future in Provence. In a final act of courage, he returns to Julien with a gift-a fragrance inspired by their time together.0
