Down Girl
"You want to act like a bitch?" His finger tilts my chin upward, forcing my gaze to meet his. "Then I'll treat you like one." I flinch when his hand lifts, bracing for the slap that never comes. Instead, it lands on the crown of my head. Firm. Claiming. "Bark." My mouth opens-but no sound comes out. Just a single tear sliding down my cheek. What did I just almost do? ⸻ Leah built her world on control. Feared by her peers and obeyed without question, she rules through cruelty wrapped in charm. No one challenges her authority. Until Vomero. He doesn't bow. Doesn't fear her. And somehow... he knows exactly how to break her. With secrets that could ruin her reputation and blackmail she can't escape, Vomero strips away the power Leah has always relied on-forcing her into a humiliating game of obedience, punishment, and reward. The more she resists, the deeper she falls. Because the most terrifying part isn't losing control. It's how badly she might start to crave it. ⸻ ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ This story contains: • Intense sexual encounters • BDSM, sadism, and masochism • Mentions of trauma This is a Morally Gray novel with erotic elements .

His, Forever ✔️
"You're sorry?" he repeated, his deep and raspy voice reaching my ears from across the room. I nodded. His dark eyes the same shade as the night looked me up and down. "Why don't you get on your knees and show me how sorry you are." All it took was one glance. Five years ago, Ezra Atlas laid his eyes on Lilac Winter. He had never seen somebody so beautiful. He knew, just from that one look, she would be his, and only his. Wanting to live her life in freedom, Lilac escapes to a different country. Hiding. Hoping that the man obsessed with her, will never find her. But nothing could stop Ezra from finding her. Time is slowly catching up. He is slowly catching up. And once he gets his hands on Lilac again, She will be his, forever.Complete
