Short Story - Coincidental Encounters Bundle.

When Thomas, a man who prides himself on control and precision, crosses paths with Esther, his carefully built walls begin to crumble. What begins as polite exchanges soon ignites into something far more dangerous: desire that refuses to be contained.

She's warmth where he is restraint, a spark that tempts him into flames he's spent years avoiding. Every glance, every word between them blurs the line between what's professional and what's personal, until the temptation to surrender becomes impossible to ignore.

But passion never comes without risk. For Thomas, being near her means facing emotions he's long buried; for Esther, letting him close means trusting someone who can shake her to her very core.

In a world where every heartbeat feels stolen, can they resist the pull between them-or will they risk everything for a love that feels inevitable?

He came right in the middle of a tornadoe and managed to turn it into blue skies. He changed my perspective and gave me hope and strength." I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes.

My heart beats skyrocketed, because this was the moment everything changed forever. "Saw what?" Asked Axel. I took a deep breath, and continued.

When Our Stories Collide de keralee123

"We were complete opposites. Jackson's life before me consisted of him pushing away anyone who tried to get close, while I wore my heart on my sleeve." ---------------------------- Maggie Carpenter is a waitress at a high-end club in Arizona who loves nothing more than a quiet night cozying up with a good book. One fateful night she ends up serving Jackson Porter, a devastatingly handsome yet brooding British author, celebrating the National Book Awards nomination for his newest novel. It's an instant magnetic attraction for the two of them but there's just one problem, they're polar opposites. Due to his abnormal upbringing, Jackson's life before Maggie consisted of him pushing away anyone who tried to get close, while she was an open book who always wore her heart on her sleeve. He had tattoos, piercings, and cursed like a sailor, yet she was mild-mannered and did everything to please those around her. Both stubborn in their own ways, Maggie needs someone to show her how to live in the moment, yet Jack needs someone to keep him grounded. Jackson lives his life wild and free, while Maggie toils her life away living vicariously through the pages in her books. But the reality is, neither of them were really living until their stories collided. Excerpt- "I know that I've fallen in love with a man who isn't ready to catch me but that's the crazy part about it, isn't it? You don't get to choose who you love or when it happens. There are no warning signs to keep you from getting too close to the edge. It's like a roller coaster, exhilarating and terrifying at the same time." Will she end up convincing him their love is worth the fall or simply be used as a pawn in his latest book?

The Closer (18+) ✓ de herserendipity

❀ FEATURED ON WATTPAD'S EDITORS' PICKS LIST ❀ [The Closer is intended for readers with an appetite for the dark and sexy. Read at your own discretion.] "What about that no fucking colleagues policy, huh? The one you so haughtily rubbed in my face?" The way to wound my heart is through my pride. The bastard knew that. But the look in Hans' eyes told me this wasn't a game to get me all riled up. "If your office ethics involve you getting into Tim's pants, then why don't I get to play too?" His hands flew down to my legs, tickling the bare skin on my legs and shocking me into stillness when I felt him pull up the corners of my dress till they were bunched up at my waist. "You can't," I breathlessly whispered as he forced my legs apart. One hand sauntered up to my neck, resting at my collarbone while the other snaked between my legs, parting my thighs until he had all of me resting at the tip of his fingers. "Is this cause of him," he growled, his finger dipping into my heat just slightly, circling the entrance, "or me?" He sounded so needing, so deprived. It turned me on knowing that I was the one making him feel this way, that despite being the one thrown up against a wall, I had the ultimate power over this man. "It's...It's you." I gulped and met his eyes. "It's all you." ● What happens when an unstoppable, hard-hitting business woman meets an unmovable, chauvinist, and utterly exhausting heir to a multi-million empire? Disaster, of course. For Tris, Hans Castellan proves to be more than a challenge of the heart and of the body. For Hans, Tris Henderson turns out to be a woman worth fighting for, despite a rocky start and more than a few broken hearts.

Karma's Heart de RatherGenuine

Karma's Heart is a slow burn, emotionally charged love story between two opposites who clash, combust, and slowly come undone in each other's orbit. Pelo moved into the apartment complex for peace, not problems. Especially not ones like Karma-a shirtless, smug, maddening neighbour who insists on touching her boundaries and tipping her world off balance. She's prickly. He's persistent. But what begins as tension, irritation, and barbed banter evolves into something layered and tender: stolen glances, slow confessions, unspoken knowing. Through sickness and missteps, dreams and doorsteps, arguments and almosts, they learn what it means to choose each other. Over and over. To hold space. To rebuild trust. To stay soft in a world that made them hard. Because sometimes love doesn't arrive gently. Sometimes, it knocks like consequence- But stays like heart. --- OPENING LINES (Draft): Pelo didn't like people. She especially didn't like him. The first time Karma touched her, she recoiled like he'd passed a live wire to her skin. Germs, she told herself. But it wasn't just that. It was the way his hand lingered. The way he looked at her like he already knew how the story would go. And she hated that. Because she had moved here for peace. Not for a man with tattoos, trouble in his grin, and a voice that could talk her into bad decisions if she stood too close too long. Not for someone who made her say please in her head when she didn't want him to follow, and made her scream into pillows when he did. But Karma never asked for permission. And the worst part? A small, buried part of her didn't want him to. #1 poeticlove #1 steamymoments #1 blackwomenlead #3 touchstarved #1 softmasculinity #1 blackgirlmagic

The Castillo's Caregiver de Buttercup591

COMPLETED Olivia Washington is running away. Not just from her life in New York, not just from her old job and not just from her past... She has packed parts of her life into boxes, and she is going headfirst to the first opportunity of a new life, all the way in Massachusetts, where the world-famous Raphael Castillo, owner of CASTACKS has hired her to be his personal nurse and caregiver. It's a dream job until the perks come in the form of his tall, handsome, olive-skinned, Italian billionaire son, Leonardo Castillo whose arrogance irks her in the worst way and yet... draws her to him in the best way. One very first and explosive encounter sends a whirlwind of emotional backlashes, heated moments, drunken mishaps, dark secrets, and lustful and forbidden acts into play. It's passionate. It's dangerous. It's a type of life she would not have lived had she not kissed those lips of his, had she not let him touch her with those gentle hands, had she not let him draw out her deepest moans. Even though he had a heartbreak reputation. Even though he would rather be spotted dead than with her in public. Even though he had his own demons that would throw them into chaos over and over. He was fire and she played with it... amidst the growing tension of family secrets between father and son, and the risky health of her employer. But when the heated moments are no longer just moments, and the forbidden actions don't feel so forbidden, Olivia must decide how long she can play this game to keep her job, as wounds start to open, secrets start to spill and danger comes to light.
