Chapter: TEMPTED BY HER AND CANT RESIST 6Chapter 6: Deeper Into Sin The next few days were a dangerous blur. Sarah’s return date was approaching, but instead of pulling back, I dove deeper. Mia and I texted constantly filthy messages during meetings, plans for secret meetups. I told Sarah work was keeping me late. The lies came easier than they should have. We couldn’t risk her apartment again. I booked a hotel room downtown for Thursday night under a fake name. When Mia walked in wearing a short black dress and heels, my cock was already hard. “God, you look incredible,” I said, pulling her against me the second the door closed. She kissed me hungrily, hands tugging at my belt. “I’ve been wet all day thinking about this. Fuck me like you mean it tonight, Alex.” Clothes hit the floor fast. I pushed her onto the king bed and climbed on top, kissing down her body until I reached her dripping pussy. I ate her out aggressively, two fingers thrusting inside her while I sucked her clit. Mia moaned loudly, hips grinding aga

Chapter: TEMPTED BY HER AND CANT RESIST 5Chapter 5: First Betrayal The guilt followed me into the next day like a shadow. Sarah texted me a sweet good morning message with a heart emoji. I replied quickly, feeling like the worst boyfriend alive. But the memory of Mia’s lips on mine wouldn’t leave me alone. Work was tense. Every time she walked past my desk, the air crackled. That evening, the office cleared out again. Mia found me in the conference room, packing up my laptop. “Another late one?” she asked, leaning against the doorframe in a tight blouse and skirt. “Or are you finally going to stop pretending?” I looked at her, heart pounding. “Mia… last night was a mistake.” She stepped closer, voice low. “It didn’t feel like a mistake when you kissed me back. Come to my apartment, Alex. Just talk. No pressure. I live ten minutes from here.” I knew what would happen if I said yes. I said it anyway. “Alright. Just talk.” Her apartment was modern and cozy, with soft lighting and a big couch. She poured us wine, and

Chapter: TEMPTED BY HER AND CANT RESIST 4The Breaking Point The next morning, Sarah’s call came while I was making coffee. Her voice sounded tired but happy on the other end. “Hey babe, how’s everything?” she asked. “Busy as hell,” I replied, forcing enthusiasm. “The pitch is today. How’s your trip going?” She sighed. “Exhausting. These meetings are running long, and the time difference is killing me. I miss you, but I’m so swamped I can barely think straight. We’ll catch up properly when I’m back, okay?” “Yeah, of course. I miss you too.” The words felt automatic. The call lasted less than five minutes before she had to run to another session. I stared at my phone after she hung up, a strange mix of relief and emptiness settling in my chest. Mia’s text from the night before still sat unread in my notifications. I finally replied: Me: Sweet dreams turned into very dangerous ones. See you at the pitch. Her response came instantly: Mia: Good. I like dangerous. Wear that blue shirt today. It looks hot on you. The pitch

Chapter: TEMPTED BY HER AND CANT RESIST 3Late Nights & Tension The bar night with Mia left me restless. I barely slept, her words echoing in my head: “You deserve to have some fun while she’s gone.” Sarah’s voicemail was cheerful when I finally listened to it talking about her presentations and how much she missed our bed. I felt like shit replying with “Miss you too, babe. Work’s crazy here,” but the guilt didn’t stop my mind from drifting back to Mia. The next few days were pure torture at the office. The big campaign pitch was looming, so late nights became the norm. Mia and I were paired up to finalize the presentation deck. It was past 9 PM on Wednesday when the office had emptied out. Just the two of us in the dim conference room, laptops open, takeout containers scattered across the table. Mia stretched in her chair, her blouse pulling tight across her chest. “God, Alex, if we nail this tomorrow, we deserve a raise. Or at least a vacation. You look tense. Everything okay at home?” I rubbed the back of my neck, a

Chapter: TEMPTED BY HER AND CANT RESIST 2Chapter 2: The New Temptation The following week dragged with back-to-back meetings, but the project with the partner company kept Mia in my orbit constantly. She was officially assigned as their lead liaison, which meant daily calls, shared spreadsheets, and more in-person time than I had anticipated. Our first big strategy session happened on Tuesday afternoon in the sleek conference room on the 18th floor. Mia arrived in a fitted blouse that accentuated her full breasts and a pencil skirt that hugged her wide hips and thick ass. She looked professional, but the way she carried herself was pure seduction. Confident. Aware of her power. She sat across from me, but her eyes kept finding mine. Every time I presented a slide, she’d lean forward slightly, offering a small smile or a clever comment that made the whole room laugh. Her wit was sharp, and she wasn’t afraid to tease. “Alex always has the perfect plan,” she said during one discussion, locking eyes with me. “But sometime

Chapter: STORY 30: TEMPTED BY HER AND CANT RESIST 1The Routine Cracks I stood at the airport terminal, watching Sarah wheel her suitcase toward security. She turned back one last time, offering a quick smile and a wave. “I’ll call you when I land,” she said. Our goodbye kiss was brief, almost mechanical the kind of kiss couples give after years together when the spark has dulled. I told her I loved her. She said it back. Then she was gone for two weeks. The drive home felt too quiet. Our apartment seemed bigger without her in it. I dropped my keys on the counter and poured myself a beer, sinking onto the couch. Sarah and I had been together for four years. She was sweet, supportive, and ambitious just like me. But lately, everything felt… routine. Our sex life especially. Quick missionary on weekends when we weren’t too tired, a blowjob here and there if she was in the mood. It had been months since we’d done anything exciting. I wasn’t unhappy exactly. Just… restless. Work became my escape. As a marketing executive, I threw myse

DADDY’S PLEASURE
Blurb:
Title: “Daddy’s pleasure
When my mother married the ruthless billionaire Alexander Voss, I was forced to call him daddy
I found myself trapped under the same roof as a man who is twice my age, dangerously handsome, and completely off limits.
One look from his piercing gray eyes and I knew I was in trouble.
He’s forty-two. I’m twenty.
Off limits. Forbidden. Everything I shouldn’t want.
But the way he watches me… the way his voice drops when he growls “Be a good girl for Daddy”… makes my body burn with shame and need.
Then I started craving the lingering touches, the late night whispers, and the way his deep voice made my body betray me with a single command.
One drunken night, he crossed the line.
He pinned me against the wall and kissed me like a man possessed hungry, forbidden, and addictive.
Now I’m caught in a dangerous game.
Every stolen touch, every secret rendezvous, every whispered “You’re mine, little girl” pulls me deeper into sin.
My mother can never find out.
But the more I try to resist, the more Alexander Voss is determined to claim what he wants…
Even if it destroys us both.
A scorching age gap forbidden romance packed with obsession, dark desire, and heart pounding secrets.

Chapter: Chapter 48Elera’s pov The Necessary GoodbyeThe morning sunlight streamed through the tall windows of the dining room, casting long golden stripes across the polished table. I sat quietly, pushing my breakfast around my plate, the knot in my stomach making it impossible to eat. Mom had made the decision two days ago, and no amount of pleading from me had changed her mind.“Elara needs to go back to campus properly,” she had said firmly over dinner, her eyes flicking between Alexander and me. “The hostel will be good for her. Structure. Independence. She can focus on her studies and come home during holidays. It’s the best thing for her right now.”Alexander had nodded slowly, his face calm and supportive. “If that’s what you think is best, Lydia, I’ll make the arrangements. I can drive her myself. Make sure she settles in safely.”Now, the day had come. My suitcases were packed and waiting by the front door. Mom hugged me tightly in the foyer, her arms warm and familiar, her perfume the same o

Chapter: Chapter 47Lydia’s pov The day had been long charity meetings, phone calls, the constant hum of planning for the next event but my mind had been elsewhere. On the photos. On the dream. On the way Elara and Alexander had been looking at each other lately. The unease refused to leave me, no matter how many times I told myself I was overthinking.Alexander was already in bed when I entered the room, propped against the headboard in nothing but his lounge pants, scrolling through his phone. He looked up when I walked in, his gray eyes softening with that familiar warmth that had drawn me to him in the first place.“You look beautiful,” he said, setting the phone aside. “Come here.”I crossed the room and let him pull me onto the bed, his arms wrapping around me as he kissed me slowly. The kiss started gentle, almost tender, but I could feel the hunger building beneath it. I needed this. Needed to feel close to him again, to push away the doubts that had been creeping in like shadows.“Alexander,” I

Chapter: Chapter 46Elara’s POVThe afternoon light in the sunroom felt too bright, too exposing, as I sat curled on the wicker chaise with my laptop open but untouched. Mom’s words from breakfast still echoed in my head like a sentence I couldn’t escape: hostel, independence, only home on holidays. The idea of leaving this house leaving him felt like a physical ache in my chest. I’d spent the last hour staring at the same paragraph in my story, the words blurring together as my mind kept drifting back to Alexander’s hands on me, his voice whispering my name like a secret.The door opened softly. Alexander stepped inside, closing it behind him with a quiet click. He crossed the room and sat beside me, pulling me gently into his arms without a word. I melted against him, burying my face in his chest, breathing in his familiar scent as if it could anchor me to this moment forever.“I talked to your mother again,” he said quietly, his hand stroking my hair. “She’s set on the idea of you moving into the camp

Chapter: Chapter 45Lydia’s POVThe afternoon sun filtered through the sheer curtains of the living room as I sat on the couch with my phone in hand, scrolling through the latest charity updates. The house was quiet for once Elara was upstairs working on her writing, and Alexander was in his office handling some business calls. I’d been trying to focus on the positive things: the upcoming gala, the way Elara seemed to be adjusting, the life we were building together. But the unease from the past few days refused to leave me alone.My phone buzzed with a new message. Unknown number again. I opened it, expecting another spam note or perhaps a reminder from one of the board members. Instead, the screen filled with a photo.It showed Alexander in what looked like a dimly lit lounge or bar, his arms wrapped around a young woman. Her face wasn’t visible just the back of her head, long dark hair cascading down her back. His hand rested possessively on her waist. The image was clear enough to see the intimacy of

Chapter: Chapter 44The Unraveling ThreadThe silence in my room after Mom left felt heavier than any words could have been. I sat on the edge of my bed, knees drawn to my chest, staring at the closed door as if it might open again at any moment and reveal everything. The almost-kiss with Alexander still burned on my lips, the memory of his hand on my breast sending conflicting waves of heat and terror through me. Mom had almost walked in on us. Again. How many more times could we play with fire before it consumed us all?I stayed locked in my room for the rest of the afternoon, ignoring the soft knocks from Maria offering lunch and the occasional text from Alexander asking if I was okay. I couldn’t face anyone. Not with Mom’s suspicion growing like a shadow that stretched longer every day. Not with the memory of her voice from the hallway earlier, the way she had sounded so tired and uncertain when talking to him.By evening, the house had settled into its usual rhythm. Mom was in the kitchen directing

They came silently at first hot, quiet drops that blurred the edges of the world until I couldn’t hold them back anymore. I slid down to the floor, knees pulled to my chest, and let the sobs shake my body in waves.She wants to send me away. To a hostel. Only home on holidays. The words Mom had said at breakfast echoed in my head like a sentence. Distance. Separation. The one thing that would make hiding what I had with Alexander nearly impossible. I cried harder, burying my face in my arms, the silk of my robe damp against my skin. How could she not see it? How could she not feel the way the air changed whenever he and I were in the same room? Or maybe she did see it. Maybe that was why she wanted me gone.A soft knock sounded on the door. I didn’t answer at first, but then his voice came through low, concerned, everything I needed and eve

No performance.

He stood near the pickup end, already holding a black cup, attention lowered to his phone until the barista called a name that made him glance up. Our eyes met across the small space. Recognition landed without surprise, as if the rooftop night had already established a quiet continuity. He nodded once. I nodded back. The exchange lasted only seconds, yet the residual weight of his earlier attention returned full force, settling low in my stomach while I waited for my own order. When I stepped outside he was still at the curb. A brief comment about the bitter edge of the espresso stretched into a short conversation that felt denser than the words required. He left first. I walked the remaining distance to work with the ghost of his focus still pressed against my skin.The

String lights hung in loose loops overhead. A small group clustered near the far end familiar faces from overlapping circles, the kind of gathering that never quite required an invitation. Maya spotted me first and waved me over with the bright insistence of someone who had already decided the evening needed one more person.Cole stood slightly apart from the main cluster.I noticed him before Maya finished introducing us. Tall, dark shirt, the kind of stillness that made the surrounding conversation feel louder. When Maya said his name he turned fully, attention landing on me with a calm, complete focus that skipped the usual polite scan.

Secondary alarms armed. Noah didn’t argue when I told him to stay in the main room where I could see him. He just sat on the edge of the couch with his elbows on his knees and watched me work the tablet like the silence itself was a weapon.Hours stretched. Updates trickled in.

Standard protocol. He waited exactly four minutes, then walked out of the penthouse and into the hallway like the rules were optional.I found him leaning against the wall by the elevators, barefoot, scrolling his phone like he had all the time in the world.“I said stay inside.”He didn’t look up. “You were taking too long.”“That’s not how this works.”“Then make it work faster.”I stepped in close enough that he had to tilt his head back to meet my eyes. Close enough to smell the soap on his skin and the faint trace of whatever he put in his hair. He didn’t flinch. Just held my stare with that same quiet challenge he’d been wearing since day one.“You leave without me again,” I said, voice low, “and I lock the elevators from the inside. Try me.”Something flickered across his face. Not fear.

PASSION OF LOVE: CRAVING THE PLUS SIZE-TWIN
"BLURB
I never imagined my own twin sister's jealousy would nearly destroy me—especially when the boy she had secretly cared about for years chose me instead.
I'm Lily—curvy, shy, and constantly judged for my appearance. Growing up beside Mia was never easy. She was confident, popular, and always the center of attention, while I became accustomed to living quietly in her shadow.
But everything changes when Lucian, the school's dangerously irresistible bad boy, notices me.
To my surprise, he isn't interested in Mia, the girl everyone expects him to choose.
He chooses me.
Lucian sees something in me that no one else seems to notice. Around him, I begin to feel confident for the first time. What starts with unexpected encounters and secret conversations gradually develops into a relationship neither of us can ignore.
For once, I finally feel like I'm more than Mia's overlooked twin.
But Mia sees us together.
The sister who has always commanded everyone's attention cannot accept that Lucian chose me instead of her.
""I'll make your life miserable,"" she warns, promising to tear us apart.
And she means every word.
Rumors begin spreading. Friendships are tested. Carefully planned schemes turn my school life upside down, and Mia seems determined to take away the one thing she believes should have belonged to her.
Meanwhile, Lucian becomes increasingly protective of me, refusing to walk away no matter how complicated things become.
What began as a rivalry over one boy soon exposes years of hidden resentment between two sisters.
And as Mia's determination to separate us grows stronger, I realize this is no longer simply about Lucian.
It's about everything that has always stood between us.
This time, I refuse to remain in my sister's shadow."

Chapter: Chapter 132Lily’s POVMorning light filtered softly through the curtains of Lucian’s house when I heard movement in the hallway. I was already awake, sitting on the edge of the bed in one of his old shirts, bare feet pressed to the cool floor. Sleep had come in broken pieces through the night. Every time I closed my eyes I still saw the living room at home Mom’s face when she told Mia she had heard everything, the way my sister’s expression had cracked, the final sound of the door closing behind our father. The quiet here felt almost unnatural after so many weeks of noise and fear.Lucian’s mother appeared in the doorway, already dressed neatly, a small bag in her hand. Her expression was calm but determined, the same steady look she had given me the night before when she told me I already had a place in this family.“I’m going to Lily’s house,” she announced to her son, who was pulling on a shirt near the window. “I need to speak with her mother properly. I want to ask for her permission to mar

Chapter: Chapter 131Lily’s pov Lucian stood in front of me as the morning light sharpened around us. The official vehicle that had taken Mia was long gone, yet the weight of everything that had just happened still pressed against my chest. His eyes never left my face.“You regained your memory,” he said quietly, “and you didn’t tell me.”It wasn’t an accusation shouted in anger. It was worse soft, wounded, and honest.“I needed time,” I answered. “I needed to handle things my way. If I had told you everything too early, you would have tried to protect me from it. And I couldn’t let anyone protect me anymore.”Lucian let out a short, rough breath and dragged a hand through his hair. For a moment he looked away, jaw tight, before his gaze returned to mine with a raw intensity that made my stomach twist.“Do you know how many nights I sat awake praying the girl I loved would come back to me? How many times I held you and whispered your name, hoping something would click? I kept telling myself to be patien

When she finally spoke, her voice was low and exhausted, as if every word cost her something.“Lily… I don’t want to do this.” She looked at me, eyes red but steady. “But I will report her tomorrow. At least she can stay there for some months. I don’t want to see her for now. I don’t know how you got to this extent, Mia… I really don’t.”Mia’s face crumpled completely.“Mom, please—” The words tumbled out in a frantic rush. “Please don’t. I’m sorry. I’ll do anything. I’ll stay in my room, I’ll never go near Lily again, I’ll—” Her voice broke into raw sobs. “I’m your daughter. Please. Don’t send me away. I’ll change. I swear I’ll change.”She dropped to her knees, clutching at Mom’s clothes, tears streaming down her face without any of the usual calculation.

Mia’s head snapped toward the sound so fast I heard the soft crack of her neck. I stayed still. Something in my gut already knew who it was before Mom even took a step. The knock wasn’t urgent. It wasn’t angry. It was the careful, almost hesitant knock of a man who knew he had no right to be here anymore but came anyway.Mom wiped at her face with the sleeve of her robe and walked to the door. Her bare feet made soft sounds against the floor. She hesitated with her hand on the knob for half a second, then pulled it open.There he stood.Our father.He looked older than the last time I had seen him. The lines around his eyes were deeper. His clothes were slightly wrinkled, like he had been sitting in the car for a long time arguing with himself before he finally got out. The porch light threw harsh shadows across his face.

Every few seconds I heard the soft drag of her feet on the gravel, like her legs didn’t want to carry her any farther. The night air clung to my skin, damp and cold, but it was nothing compared to the ice sitting in my chest. I kept my eyes forward. I didn’t look at her. I couldn’t. If I looked at her now I might start screaming again, and I was too tired for that.The front door closed behind us with a soft click that somehow felt louder than it should have. The sound echoed through the quiet house like a gunshot. Mom was sitting on the living-room couch under the weak yellow light of the single lamp she always left on when she waited up. The moment she saw us she stood up. Her hands were clenched in the fabric of her robe.“Where are you two coming from?” she asked. Her voice was careful, almost fragile. “It’s

But this time I wasn’t going alone, and I wasn’t going as the girl who used to wait quietly for scraps of attention.I turned to Max, who was leaning against the doorframe watching me with that soft, steady expression he always wore when he was focused only on me.“Come with me,” I said.
