last update Fecha de publicación: 2026-07-20 00:03:26

Routine was a funny thing.

It could stitch your life back together so neatly that you'd almost forget where it had once torn apart.

Almost.

Six months later, I had fallen back to the way life used to be before I made a bad decision that had me running back to my therapist.

Work.

Kitchen.

Bed.

Repeat.

Loneliness still came knocking every now and then, but these days I knew better than to answer.

Besides…

One reckless night with a stranger had been enough excitement to last me a lifetime.

  • Bad Decision, Great pleasures    CHAPTER 6

    The moment my lips left his, reality came back with vengeance.I stumbled backwards so fast my knees bumped into the couch.Silence.What the fuck did I just do?The rain hammered against the windows, thunder rolling somewhere above us, but none of it was louder than the thoughts crashing through my head.“What…” I breathed.I looked at Blake. He looked just as stunned.“I…” He began.“No.” The word escaped my lips harshly. “No. We are not doing this.”His mouth opened again. “Maya…”“No.” I repeated frantically, pointing a finger at him like he was the problem. “That never happened.”His brows pulled together. “It literally just happened.”“It happened to two completely different people.”He blinked. “What?”“I don't know.” I rubbed both hands over my face. “The storm has fried my brain.”A laugh almost escaped him.I shot him a warning glare. “Don't laugh. This is a serious matter.”He nodded immediately, although his lips still twitched.“You're my sister's boyfriend, forgotten alr

  • Bad Decision, Great pleasures    CHAPTER 5

    Guilt is a crazy thing.Because tell me why I was pulling into my parents' driveway with a box of pastries I'd picked up on the way over, as if sugar could apologize for disappearing halfway through dinner the last time I was here.I barely made it through the front door before my mother wrapped me in a hug.“Look who's here,” she said excitedly. “My little munchkin!”“I brought a peace offering.”She looked into the pastry box and chuckled. “If you're trying to bribe me, it's definitely working.”I smiled.“Come in honey.”She pulled me into the kitchen where the smell of vanilla and butter wrapped around me instantly.I sniffled heartily. “Baking something?”“Oh yes, Mrs Lawson ordered a birthday cake. I'm actually done and Blake is helping me deliver it.”“Oh that's gre…” I stopped. “Wait! Did you say Blake?”“Yeah. Chloe's boyfriend.”At that moment, my eyes fell on him.Blake.He stood beside the island, sleeves rolled up, carefully tying a ribbon around a white cake box.Grey ey

    4“Maya!” Chloe's dramatic voice exploded through the speaker. “My darling big sister, I was so worried about you.”I rolled my eyes. “It's been what? Three days?”“That's long enough,” she whined. “I was beginning to think I'd have to file a missing person's report.”I scoffed. “I've been working, Chlo.”“And avoiding me.”Maybe that one was true.“What do you want, Chloe?”“I wanted to hear my sister's voice.”I smiled despite myself. “Liar.”“O… kay, maybe I also needed someone to yap to about Blake.”Great!Of course.*What did he do now?”“Nothing!” she laughed. “He's just... amazing.”“Mhm…mm!”“He sent flowers to my office today.”“Mhm.”“And yesterday he drove forty minutes just because I said I missed him.”“Mhm.”“And… the list is so long, I don't want to bore you. I just wanted you to know that your little sister is so happy.”The smile slowly faded from my face.“That's…” I exhaled. “I'm glad, Chlo.”A brief silence settled between us before she spoke again.“Can I ask you

While everyone would get excited for the weekend, the only thing I could picture was myself slouching on my couch, eating popcorn like my life depended on it.That's not something to get excited about.Today was another Friday and for some reason, I was driving home to my parents' house. Chloe was already there. She had been beeping my phone all day to make sure I would not bail on her.I would have but well… what's the worst that could happen in a family dinner?I caught sight of

    2Chloe was right.Good dick is the cure for loneliness.Turns out, the satisfaction I'd been chasing wasn't hiding in another self-help podcast or twelve-hour workdays.It definitely wasn't buried somewhere between finding my purpose and investing in myself — the excuse I fed my family every time they questioned my work-kitchen-bed routine.Maybe I'd been lonely all along.Maybe I'd just needed one reckless night with a ridiculously attractive stranger in blue overalls to admit it.If I had been told this would happen, I would outrightly refuse it. Now, between Blake and I, I couldn't tell who was moaning louder.By the way, who doesn't love a man that moans like that?The night blurred into laughter, stolen kisses and clothes abandoned wherever they landed. Blake touched me like a man trying to memorize a song after hearing it only once. I loved it.There were moments when his confidence cracked, his hands trembled ever so slightly, his breathing hitched, and he looked at me with t

  • Bad Decision, Great pleasures    Pretty Thief CHAPTER 1

    Pretty Thief 1“Your life is boring.”“You need to get laid.”“A good dick is the cure for loneliness.”“Go get fucked, Maya.”Words I'd heard a million times from my sister since she came to spend the week with me.Normally, I would ignore her like I had done all my life but there was truth in her words. I did need a cure for loneliness.So, here I was, on a Friday night, in a bar filled to the brim with hot men, ready to get fucked. I wasn't looking for love. That bullshit sounded expensive. Therapy was already draining my account. I didn't need to be more broken than I already was.I just needed to pick the right stranger to give me multiple orgasms and then I'd never have to see him again.Perfect, right?I flashed my teeth at the bartender as he pushed a shot glass towards me.He smiled back, like he was more than happy to be here. “First time?”I nodded, downing the liquid. “That obvious?”“Nah. Just haven't seen this pretty face around here before.”I beamed at the compliment
