Wrong Number [18+] by paulajop

Against my better judgment, I answer, "Look I told you, you have the wrong number," I say a bit too harshly. "I wish I was the girl you were looking for but I'm not." "You do, huh?" His husky voice fills my ear again and I shiver. What the hell is he going on about? "What are you talking about?" I ask confused. "That you wish you were the girl I was looking for," he says amused. I groan remembering exactly what I said and palm my face, "I said that huh?" "Uh huh!" *** Fallon Mathews is a waitress who works entirely too hard and too much. She is pretty, smart, and not shy. Alexander Grant is the owner of one of the hottest clubs around- which just so happens to be the same club that Fallon likes to go to in her free time. Oh did I also mention that he is the son of a well-known CEO? A billionaire? No!? Well, he is. He isn't a player, but he does sleep around a lot. After all, he is single. What happens after he is given the wrong number that just so happens to be, Fallon's? Love, friendship, heartache, drama, and tragedy all in one! **WARNING** There most likely will be lots of errors!

One More Night by citrusghost222

Miranda wasn't supposed to be in that bar. At eighteen, she was too young, too naive, and too starstruck when she stumbled into the path of the one person she never thought she'd meet-Jeremy Allen White. He's thirty-four, tired of fame, and used to keeping the world at arm's length. But there's something about Miranda-something honest, something unexpected-that makes him hesitate before walking away. It begins with one night. One conversation. One quiet moment neither of them saw coming. And then it keeps happening. Caught between two very different worlds, Miranda and Jeremy find themselves tangled in a connection that feels impossible... and yet, too real to ignore. But love like this was never part of the plan-and the closer they get, the harder it becomes to let go.

Some goodbyes echo louder than others. And some hearts? They never stop choosing.

But one night on a routine traffic stop, his world is turned upside down and life as he knows it will never be the same. From the book... He puts the car into park and his mouth hungrily finds mine. We kiss each other with such intensity I feel like I might burst. He looks so hot in his uniform. I have always fantasized about this. I decide to get a little playful. I stop kissing him for a moment. "So officer, I have been a really bad girl." I say seductively. "You have?" He asks his breath labored from our make out session. "Yes sir. I want you to take me out of the car and punish me right on the hood of you car." Warning: There may be some things that are triggering. Does have a mild sexual assault encounter. Nothing too graphic or disturbing but it's just a part of the story. There are also very graphic sex scenes. I won't warn you before hand. Read at your own risk!
