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.

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

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. - More description on the story in the warnings and disclaimers chapter! Warnings!
