But on the inside, Roman Knight is nothing more than a broken man with an ugly past that he's been running from for decades. Despite his intelligence and wealth, none of it brings him any happiness. All the attention and fake love from strangers is nice occasionally, but it doesn't get rid of the fact that he still feels nothing but emptiness on the inside.

Bound by Desire 🔞 by Liliana_134

Elena Morales, a 24-year-old Afro-Latina woman with a caramel complexion, striking brown eyes, and long curly hair, has always been focused on survival. With her petite yet curvy frame, she's a vision of beauty and warmth, though she often feels out of place in a world that values wealth and privilege. When she's offered a live-in nanny position for billionaire CEO Victor DeLuca's 4-year-old son, it seems like a chance to finally build the life she's dreamed of. Victor DeLuca, at 38, is as cold and calculated as he is devastatingly handsome. A man who built his empire with an iron will, Victor has never allowed himself to love again-not since his former wife, Camilla, shattered his heart with her betrayal. Tall, blonde, and model-thin, Camilla represented everything Victor thought he wanted, but her infidelity left him scarred and unwilling to trust. That is, until he saw Elena. Months before offering her the job, Victor became captivated by Elena's kindness and fiery spirit during a chance encounter. Her warmth was the antithesis of the icy betrayal he had endured, and for the first time in years, he felt something stir in him-an obsession he could neither control nor resist. As Elena becomes part of his world, caring for his son Matteo and bringing light into his mansion, Victor's walls begin to crumble. He's drawn to her in ways that scare even him, and his obsessive desire grows with every passing day. But when Elena discovers the truth-that Victor orchestrated her hiring to keep her close-she's forced to confront the intensity of his feelings and decide if she can trust the man who holds her future in his hands.

BOUND BY DESIRE by Rkemsi

Elena Carter never planned on falling for a man nearly twice her age. At twenty-five, she was determined to focus on her career, rebuild her confidence after heartbreak, and prove herself in a world that often underestimated her. Then she met Michael Hayes-a powerful, magnetic CEO with steel-blue eyes and a guarded heart. Michael had long since sworn off love. At forty-two, scarred by a painful divorce and hardened by years of ambition, he believed desire was fleeting and intimacy dangerous. But from the moment he locked eyes with Elena, something shifted. She wasn't just another young woman chasing his attention-she was different. Refreshing. Irresistible. What begins as stolen glances and forbidden temptation soon ignites into a passion neither can deny. But love this intense comes with risks: whispers of scandal, judgment from others, and their own deepest fears threatening to tear them apart. In a world where age, power, and reputation collide, Elena and Michael must decide if their connection is strong enough to withstand it all-or if their hearts will break under the weight of desire. From steamy intimacy to emotional devotion, Bound by Desire is a story of obsession, trust, and unstoppable hearts... where every touch, every kiss, and every whispered word leads them closer to forever.

What more could a girl ask for? Too bad it's all a lie.

But as feelings bloom beneath the surface, the stakes in their little game become higher than ever before. What will she choose? A new life with her lover? Or the life of her dying brother? *** "You're going to kill me at this rate," he grumbled. I had to repress a giggle as I feigned ignorance. "What do you mean? Am I too heavy? Should I get off?" "Don't worry, I'll take care of getting you off," he murmured, sliding his hands under my shirt.
