*WARNING! This story contains mature content.* When her boyfriend cheats on her, Rory Warren moves to a new flat. She gets a flatmate who becomes a very good friend of her. But that flatmate has a very sexy, very charming and very wealthy brother who turns Rory's world upside down. Rory is a weak woman. Braden Campbell makes her even weaker. He's a controlling businessman and a perfect definition of a womanizer. He doesn't do relationships. His past has taught him to be tough, unforgiving and cold. He doesn't have a word 'commitment' in his dictionary. He works hard. He fucks even harder. Rory and Braden make a pact, an arrangement. They want to stick to it, follow their rules. But one can only bear so much before bursting. It's a game of two and the rule is simple: if one of them falls in love, it's game over. This is not a story about a perfect relationship. It's a story where a man wants it all and a woman who gives it all to him. Game on, people! Or is it really just a game? Only time will tell. Tick-tock

I Love You, Baby by matsku

Cassandra Nolan is known as the daughter of her ridiculously wealthy father, a surprisingly successful business owner, and the most trusting person alive. What else is new? At first glance, Sam Parkins is the opposite of Cassandra. He seems judgemental, pessimistic, and intelligent enough to break Cassandra in half, but when you get to know him better, he is the sweetest guy there is. Or that's how Cassandra remembers him from high school. When they meet again after seven years, Cassandra realizes she should get her memories checked because Sam Parkins has changed, and not necessarily for the better. Fortunately, neither has time for the other: they have their own lives, and it isn't like they would want to be in each other's lives after everything that happened. However nostalgic it could be, there's absolutely nothing that would bring Cassandra and Sam together again. If Cassandra's new friendship with Sam's girlfriend doesn't count.
