Brooklyn-born J'Kai isn't the type to chase attention. She's smart, independent, and moves through life with her own rhythm, whether she's stacking her bread or stepping out with her girls. But on one unforgettable night, under the pulsing lights of a packed club, her world collides with Cortez Williams a Ghanaian/Samoan and the Charlotte Hornets' starting shooting guard and reigning NBA MVP.

When their eyes lock across the room, the energy is undeniable. J'Kai's beauty and aura pull him in, and Cortez, used to having the world at his fingertips, sends a daring message that flips the night upside down: "Stop eyef*ing me and come here."

What starts as a glance turns into a game of attraction, pride, and power - where two people used to being in control have to decide who's really holding the ball.

Between The Camera And Court: Falling For Brandin by goldwingbaby
51 parts Complete Mature
In the vibrant city of Santa Clara, California, I lived a life framed by the lens of my camera. As a passionate photographer, I captured the essence of everyday moments while navigating the complexities of love. My heart belonged to Caitlin Clark, a spirited woman who shared my passion for art and adventure. However, my life took an unexpected turn when I crossed paths with Brandin Podziemski, a charismatic NBA player whose charm was as magnetic as his talent on the court. Initially drawn to Brandin's energy, I kept our relationship light-hearted, indulging in spontaneous escapades that morphed into a no-strings-attached friends-with-benefits situation. As the days turned into weeks, I found myself entangled in a web of emotions that threatened to unravel my commitment to Caitlin. Each stolen moment with Brandin ignited something within me, a spark that I couldn't deny despite my best intentions. Caught between my loyalty to Caitlin and the undeniable chemistry with Brandin, I was torn. My world, once clear and beautifully composed like the photographs I took, became a chaotic blur. As I grappled with my feelings, I realized that love could take unexpected forms, challenging the boundaries of heart and devotion. Ultimately, I had to confront my emotions, risking everything to find out where my heart truly belonged. Would I choose the stability of love with Caitlin or the thrilling uncertainty with Brandin? The answer lay within the frames of my heart, waiting to be captured in the light of truth.

The Devil In Prada

24 parts Complete Mature

Jalaya James was all elegance and allure - a top-tier real estate agent known for closing million-dollar deals and turning heads wherever she went. But beneath the designer heels and her ever-present Prada wardrobe was a woman with a mission: target Duke Dennis, YouTube superstar, AMP member, and the newest owner of a luxury penthouse she just happened to be showing. To Jalaya, love was just another game. Her job? Get close, gain trust, and leave a man like Duke questioning everything he ever believed about women. But Duke wasn't just a content creator with charm - he was sharp, intuitive, and used to attention. And something about Jalaya, beyond the high-end fashion and red-hot confidence, didn't sit right with him. She thought she could play him. He was determined to figure her out. But the more time they spent together, the harder it became to keep the lines between real and fake from blurring. And when Duke starts to pull back the layers of who Jalaya really is, both of them are forced to confront a truth they weren't ready for: sometimes the heart has its own agenda - and it doesn't care who started the game first. In a world where secrets wear silk and lies come in designer packaging, love might be the most dangerous deal of all.
