Ruby has always felt at home at Alexa's house, it's where she laughs the hardest, feels the safest, and escapes the noise of her own life.
But lately, something's changed.
It's not Alexa that Ruby can't stop thinking about.
It's Alexa's mom, Billie.
Billie is warm, kind, and has a way of looking at Ruby that makes her chest tighten and her words get stuck in her throat.
What starts as a small, confusing crush turns into something Ruby can't ignore, and soon every visit feels charged with a secret only she is holding.
And sometimes, when they're alone, Ruby swears Billie knows.

My Best Friend's Mother.
A slow-burn, taboo, age-gap romance about timing, temptation, and the quiet pull of the unexpected When Rowan transfers to an architect university, hoping for a quiet reset. She doesn't expect to click so effortlessly with Liana, a fellow student with a brilliant mind, a messy sketchbook, and a tendency to adopt people without asking. But Liana's world comes with something else. A home that feels too beautiful to belong to a college student and a mother who seems too poised, too self-assured, too observant to ignore. Liana's mother is everything Rowan doesn't understand yet, very composed, magnetic, and unsettling in ways that linger long after she leaves the room. Their connection is subtle at first. A glance. A pause. A conversation that feels heavier than it should. As Rowan becomes more entangled in Liana's world, she finds herself drawn to the one person she was never supposed to notice. The boundaries blur. The silences deepen. And the question of what's right becomes far more complicated than she ever imagined. My Other Books; Miss Blackwood Power, passion, and secrets.

HEADLOCK // a shadow the hedgehog x reader
You had spark. A fire, roaring and crackling and untameable. Passion. A love for all things science and nerdy, freakishly good at coding and technology from a young age. You went through a lot of different phases, like most kids; wanting to be a video game designer to computer engineer to software architect. You're most ambitious dream was to become a high ranking cybersecurity specialist. Maybe work for the government one day, make a difference. Change the world. Leave a mark, a good one. Your mark. Oh, how sweet and naïve you were. That spark was crushed and stomped into a capitalist-shaped curb, pushed aside until what was left was a perfect little cog to fit into a machine. You work at a grocery store, the customer service industry a cruelty that destroys all hope for humanity, at least it did for you. Years of misuse, abuse from customers and staff alike colding your once warm, beating heart. You took the brunt of whatever crap corporate wanted dealt with, cleaned up whatever mess your incompetent co-workers left behind; be it calling out "sick" last minute to doing stock take incorrectly. It all fell onto you, the managers far to busy to help their supervisor. You were crushed, utterly and completely, and it was only a matter of time until you gave out. "Soo, come here often?" It's awkward. It's clumsy. But at least it's something. Shadow stares back, ruby eyes unblinking and boring into your own. His muzzle pulls back, scrunching at the bridge of his nose as he regards the absurdity of what you just asked.

Not Yours to Love (gxg)
*"She was older. Dangerous. Everything my parents swore would destroy me. But I couldn't stop wanting her. What started as stolen glances turned into secret touches, and before I knew it, I was addicted to the taste of her. Loving her meant lies, betrayal, and nights I can't admit out loud. She told me I was too young. She told me I was not hers to love. But when her hands were on me, neither of us believed it. This is not a fairytale. It's obsession. It's forbidden. And it's the kind of love that ruins you before it saves you."*
The Unlocked Door
"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.Complete
The Way We Were
After her dad dies, Poppy moves with her mum and younger brother to Cambridge, a city too polished, too perfect, too far from the girl she used to be. All she wants is to disappear, to become a ghost slipping unnoticed through crowded corridors and quiet streets. But ghosts aren't meant to be seen. And they're not meant to fall in love. When her brother strikes up an unexpected friendship with the sibling of Jamie, a boy who seems to have everything, Poppy is pulled into a world she never asked to enter. Their connection flickers to life in the spaces no one else notices: glances that linger too long, conversations that belong to no one else, touches that feel like secrets. It's private. It's dangerous. It's theirs. But Jamie has his own reasons for keeping her hidden, and Poppy knows the moment their secret slips into the light, it could shatter not just her careful invisibility, but everything they've built together in the dark.Complete![FOCUS [BXB]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/403189039-256-k154097.jpg)
FOCUS [BXB]
Like a bolt of lightning, this stupid boy appeared in my life. First day of summer break between first and second grade, he just appeared- standing on my porch like he was born there. Straight brown hair, wide dark eyes and a fresh sunburn across his cheeks. He was already talking before I even opened the door. I don't know how it happened but it's been ten years. And he's still here. Talking, whether or not I'm listening. Laughing, even if no one else is. He's still too quick- racing around the world like he's scared he's going to miss it. He's gotten taller...much taller. His hair is a little longer, a little wavier, but under the light it still looks the same golden brown it did when we were nine. And now, finally, he was a high school graduate. We both were. Like a bolt of lightning he appeared and like the sun he refused to disappear. _____________________________________________ I fell asleep with my chin pointed at him, the outline of his face being the last thing I saw. How was I supposed to do this? It had always been difficult, hiding this secret, keeping him close. But now, my focus was starting to slip. I couldn't see anything but his lips, his hands, his smile. I couldn't hear anything but my name in his mouth, his jagged breaths and that loud laugh. How am I supposed to be okay with this? How am I supposed to focus on anything other than him? #1- slowburn- 11.10.25🥇 #1- friends to lovers- 11.01.25🥇 #1- fluffandsmut- 11.02.25🥇 #1- college- 11.06.25🥇 #1- best friends- 11.12.25🥇 #1- teammates- 12.04.25 🥇 #1- college roommates- 12.30.25🥇 #1- mental health- 01.02.2026 🥇 #1- gay love- 01.02.2026 🥇 #2- roommates- 12.18.25🥈 #3- bxblove- 11.30.25🥉 #4- boyxboy- 11.01.25 #4- lgbt- 11.15.25 #14- boyxboyromance- 12.15.25 #22- basketball- 12.15.25Complete
