domination love

Beneath the imposing shadow of the Empire's premier dynasty, Seraphina Vance was known as nothing more than the frail, disabled Eldest Miss-a perfect façade concealing a dangerous, true identity. As she begins to execute a meticulous plan for vengeance, she is unexpectedly pulled into a perilous vortex of power involving two dangerously influential young heirs: the coolly elegant Julian Sterling and the wickedly charismatic Xerxes Yama.

A calculated strategic marriage places her at the ultimate crossroad of fate. Simultaneously, the two men's relentless scrutiny-a mix of seductive interest and possessive constraint-grows increasingly intense. Seraphina must navigate a world of extreme temptation and lethal threat, all while maintaining her guise of fragile innocence.

Her hidden claws are poised to strike, but she must tread carefully. In this high-stakes game of desire and dynastic intrigue, the price of exposing her true self is uncertain: will it lead to utter ruin, or the absolute freedom to destroy everything that stands in her way?All Rights Reserved

The Duchess of Ash and Thorn by sadieabel625

Lady Seraphina Ashbourne, eldest of three daughters, has been the darling of the Season for three years-but she's turned down every proposal. She believes in love, not alliances, and no man has stirred her heart. When Lord Tristan Blackthorn, the illegitimate son of a powerful duke, arrives at her estate with a cold, calculated marriage proposal, Seraphina is insulted. She dismisses him as nothing more than a power-hungry social climber-and makes sure he knows it. Humiliated and infuriated, Tristan returns to the North with his pride wounded but his resolve stronger. He doesn't want a wife-but he needs one, or risk losing his inheritance to a younger half-brother who is favored by their father. When Seraphina's father, the Marquess of Ashbourne, falls gravely ill and their family's future is threatened, the only way to secure her sisters' futures and preserve the family name is through the very man she scorned. Thus begins a reluctant engagement-a forced marriage of convenience between a proud, idealistic lady and a hardened, bitter bastard nobleman. They despise each other. But fate-and love-have other plans.

PIPS AND PASSION by Darcy3436664

--- In a city where desires are currency and power is the ultimate game, she's a master of both. **"The Price of Desire"** is a scorching tale of control, seduction, and the art of dominance. With every step she takes, she exudes power, beauty, and a danger that makes the men around her tremble. She's not here to play nice-she's here to own everything and everyone in her path. Every glance she gives is a challenge. Every word she speaks is a command. And every kiss, every touch, is a promise of ecstasy wrapped in torment. She knows the rules, but she's never afraid to break them. In the world she's built, pleasure and pain aren't opposites-they're intertwined. When he steps into her world, a man as ruthless as she is, their collision sparks a fire that could consume them both. But there's no room for weakness. In the darkness of their desires, they're locked in a battle for control. Who will bend? Who will break? The air between them crackles with tension, and every word is thick with meaning, loaded with temptation. **"I don't play for keeps," she whispers, her fingers trailing over his skin. "I take what I want, when I want. And tonight, that's you."** He smirks, leaning in closer, his breath hot against her ear. **"Then take me,"** he dares. **"But don't forget-*I'm not easy to keep.*"** Their passion burns hot, blurring the lines between lust and obsession, as their bodies and wills collide in a struggle for dominance. It's a dangerous game, but one they're both eager to play-an one where the stakes are higher than they ever imagined. This is no fairy tale. There are no rules. No limits. Just two forces of nature, locked in an intoxicating dance of power, passion, and unrelenting desire. And once you enter this world, there's no turning back

Brown Sugar by advikazy

Love. Obsession. And a man who doesn't know where one ends and the other begins. Alana Singh has always known how to disappear - into shadows, into silence, into the wounds no one dares to see. Dusky, curvy, and overlooked, she never expected to catch the eye of Digvijay Singh Rathore - the ruthless billionaire with eyes like winter and a soul carved from secrets. But he's been watching her for years. Waiting. Planning. And when she steps into his empire for an internship, she walks straight into the trap he's built just for her. Now she's tangled in his world of power, obsession, and forbidden desire - where every touch feels like worship and every lie tastes like sin. Because Digvijay doesn't just want her. He wants to own her. A dark, emotional, and intoxicating romance about obsession, redemption, and the love that ruins before it saves. A tender, raw coming-of-age story about heartbreak, healing, and the terrifying risk of finally being seen. ------------------ (This story is fast-paced and messy. I wrote it while I was mentally fighting a big battle. It became a good distraction for me. I ended up writing 25-30 chapters in just one week-so it's not perfect. I focused more on the emotions than anything else. Still, I hope you enjoy it.)

The Queen Who Haunts My Time(COMPLETED) by DreamsOfCherry

I have everything a man could want-wealth, power, control. The skyscraper I own casts its shadow across the city like my signature upon the world. People call me ruthless, but what they don't know is that I've never truly wanted anything... until her. It happened one stormy night. I was reviewing reports in my glass office when the lights flickered. And there-standing in the middle of my floor-was a woman. Not dressed for this century, but in regal silks and jewels that seemed to shimmer even in the dim glow. Her gaze carried a weight that no model, no heiress, no rival had ever dared lay upon me. She said her name was Queen Seraphina, a sovereign of a kingdom long vanished in history. A queen who had ruled centuries ago. She claimed the storm tore a hole in time and dragged her here. Madness, perhaps. But the way she held herself-proud, untouchable-made me believe. From the moment I saw her, I knew she wasn't mine... and that became intolerable. The board meetings lost meaning. Contracts blurred. I found myself learning her language, her history, her rituals. I locked entire wings of my penthouse just to preserve the space she walked through, as though the future could be shaped around her past. She resists me, of course. She speaks of duty, of wanting to return to her kingdom, to her people. But every time she says she must leave, I feel my control slipping. She doesn't understand-she's mine now. Fate delivered her to me, not to anyone else. I watch her when she sleeps, terrified she'll vanish as suddenly as she arrived. I tell myself it's protection, but the truth is darker: I cannot breathe unless I know she is near. And when she finally looks at me-not as a queen, but as a woman-I swear I will never let time steal her away again. If I must break history itself, I will. Because Adrian Velasco always gets what he wants. And what I want... is her.

In a world where loyalty is fleeting and power is the ultimate prize, Seraphina becomes the ultimate player, rising through the chaos and bloodshed to become the Widow Empress of England, a woman whose reign is both feared and admired. But power comes at a cost, and as the years go by, Seraphina's enemies close in, and the kingdom she built begins to crumble from within. A story of ambition, manipulation, and the cost of power.Will Seraphina's hunger for dominance destroy her, or will she rewrite history as the first woman to rule England?
