Talia Hale is exhausted but determined. With graduation around the corner and the LSAT looming, she spends her days split between coursework and her role as personal assistant to Julian Ashcroft, the newly appointed managing partner of Ropes & Gray LLP-Boston's most prestigious law firm. Her path is paved, her future secure. Yet something quietly aches.

When her best friend Bianca Cruz, vibrant and full of flame, plans a weekend girls' trip to Mystic, Connecticut, Talia doesn't know she's stepping into a ritual. The destination: The Ember Table, a secluded new restaurant opened by legendary chef Zaine Grey, tucked inside the weathered charm of Olde Mistick Village.

Talia never meant to meet Zaine. She wasn't selected. She was brought there. And in the dim-lit silence of his kitchen, she finds herself part of a sacred trial-centered on his signature Wellington, a dish layered not only with pastry but emotional legacy.

Zaine, celebrated but emotionally withheld, senses something in her. Something tender and true. As flour turns to form and fire begins to rise, vulnerability flickers between them. They speak in glances, gestures, and the silence between bites.

By the end of the trial, no grand gesture is made. Just one quiet invitation. One date. One ember still glowing.

This isn't a public romance.
It's an emotional ritual remembered in flame.All Rights Reserved

Greyson, the CEO, will not let Philip destroy The House of Carrington that his great grandfather built. Enter Shayne Carrington, with steel grey eyes and a chiseled jawline that could cut glass. He becomes the new CFO, at Carrington Enterprises and gains a financial assistant, Sabine Harlow. She feels he needs to be taken down a peg or two with his arrogance.

Please don't think I had anything to do with that decision. Trust me on that! Please try to keep your claws in, during working ours." Shayne smirked as he handed me a file of paperwork with sticky notes. He wrote directions on the outside like I was a kindergartener. "Oh, by the way, your new desk will be outside of my office tomorrow. I'll see you in the morning, Miss Harlow." He moved his thick brown eyebrows up and down. He had the nerve to grin from ear to ear with his arms folded, as he stood before me. I was exasperated with him already. "I have until the end of the day, to decide if I am willing to be your assistant." I snapped at him with an extra smug and cold expression on my face. He leaned over my desk close to my face, with his steel grey eyes. Up close, I saw hints of blue in them. "I have no doubt, that you will be sitting at your desk tomorrow working for Shayne Carrington." He stated a little too sure of himself. I can't do it! Who speaks in third person about themselves?

Trusting Grace by ilovefelix217

"I've been burned once, who is to say it will not happen again" I spoke quietly watching her closely. Grace confused me like no other she wormed her way into my heart with her easy-going smiles, kind nature, and gentle heart. Feeling her small hands hold my large ones I glance down into her green eyes "You need to trust that I am not Mia have I not proven to you Cassian, I am here to stay you fit with me" she said in a gentle yet firm tone. The smile she sent me held love, comfort and that was all it took after months of breaking down the walls I decided to take a leap of faith. *********************************************** Cassian Grey had been burned once and that was enough for him after sharing a business deal with his four other brothers they opened up The Grey Gull on the coast of Cornwall, England. A fresh start is what these guys needed and a fresh start is what they will get. Grace Bauer is an art historian with her own little gallery where she brings long-forgotten pieces of beauty back to life. She too had been burned so when she hears of this bar and grill opening up she knows her friends are just dying to try it out. What both of these souls don't realize is that once thrown in each other's paths they soon realize that maybe just maybe they are what the other half needs in one another. It may take a little more convincing on Cassian's part but can he take that leap of faith and trust Grace.

One Kiss Less by Salena_Swis

Mia Chrismen doesn't believe in fate, fairy tales, or the so-called mate bond that ties werewolves to their soulmates. She believes in science, steel, and her surgical scalpel - the only things that haven't failed her. But when a wounded stranger collapses at her feet - all blood, fury, and secrets - her world doesn't just change. It shatters. Cain Arker is the crown prince of the werewolves. Alpha by birth, cursed by destiny, and haunted by the throne he must claim. To do it, he needs the heir of the moon-blessed bloodline. What he didn't expect? Her. The woman who doesn't feel their bond. The woman who challenges him, hates him, tempts him - and still refuses to be his . A slow-burn, soul-bonded, enemies-to-lovers saga where loyalty cuts deeper than knives, love is war, and fate isn't a blessing - it's a weapon. --- "Now talk" he murmured, voice rough, every syllable carrying a warning "Who was he ?" She gave him that infuriating little smirk , " you sure you want the details? You might get jealous." His jaw flexed , " I have been patient the whole night love " he said , low and lethal , " for your own good.... don't test me now " He shifted , instantly bringing her on his lap . His jacket - the only thing shielding her from his gaze , shifted with the movement, falling off the shoulder. She gasped. " Listen carefully MATE - " his voice dropped further, a sinful whisper in her ear " - try running from me once more and I will make sure you can't even walk for weeks." The words came off less like a threat and more like a promise. She scoffed even though her pulse was wild , " Empty threats Arker ?" He let out a slow laugh, " You love challenging me don't you ? " . . "C-Cain " she breathed but he only kissed her harder . As she let out a sharp sound again , he smiled , " But you should know I never back down from a challenge sweetheart ." DO GIVE IT A TRY PLEASE

My Boyfriend's Billionaire Daddy by FullMoonScribe

"You have no idea how many times I've imagined this." She whispered as her lips crashed down on his. Hearing her say those words nearly made him cum in his boxer briefs. He'd had so many beautiful, sexy women, but Cyra turned him on more than any of them. There were a hundred reasons why he shouldn't be doing exactly what he was doing and yet it felt so perfectly right. Logan tried to let Cyra control the speed that they were going as he continued to kiss her passionately. He didn't want to take things too fast. But she was rubbing her tight little pussy back and forth across his cock, and although there were three layers of fabric between them, she was doing it in such a way that made it impossible for him to think of anything else. His hands gripped her waist, as he took a slow, deep breath. Fuck if she didn't stop he was going to bend her over the table and fuck her right there and he was trying to take things slow with her. Or relatively slow. If she'd been his new personal assistant she already would have been on her knees sucking him off. ------ When Cyra goes to work for the business that her father owns with his business partner, who happens to be her boyfriend's father, she thinks she's in for the most boring summer before college ever. But then the one man she shouldn't look twice at catches her eye and she realizes that she's caught his as well, and the summer gets hotter than she ever expected it to be. ⚠️THIS STORY HAS EXPLICIT SCENES AND MATURE CONTENT.
