Leo’s footsteps were soft as he crept down the hall, the house quiet except for the faint ticking of a clock somewhere nearby. He paused outside Ava’s door, the faint glow of moonlight slipping through the curtains spilling into the darkened hallway.

Inside, Ava lay tangled in the sheets, her breathing slow and even—until a shadow shifted beside her bed. She stirred, blinking sleep from her eyes as a warm presence enveloped her.

Without a word, Leo gently wrapped his arms around her from behind, his touch careful and tender. His hands rested lightly on her waist, pulling her close, grounding her with warmth and quiet reassurance.

Ava’s eyes fluttered open, meeting the soft intensity in his gaze. There was no teasing now, no mischievous smile—only something softer, almost vulnerable.

He leaned his head down, resting it gently against hers. “I couldn’t stop thinking about you,” he whispered, voice low and steady. “About how brave you are, how real you are.”

  • Erotic stories (steamy haven)   Too close

    Ava tried her best to keep her head down for the rest of the day. She spent most of the morning locked away in her room, pretending to scroll through her phone, though her mind was far from relaxed. Every time she heard footsteps in the hall, her heart jumped, and she forced herself not to look up, not to hope it was Leo coming near.By the time noon arrived, hunger pushed her out of her room. She quietly slipped downstairs to the kitchen, hoping to make herself some lunch without running into him. But, as usual, there he was.Leo was already sitting at the kitchen table, a book open in front of him. He wore glasses she hadn’t even noticed before. They gave him a new look—serious and focused. She blinked, surprised.He looked up from his book and gave her a slow, amused smile. “Look who’s alive.”Ava swallowed hard. “I—I was just upstairs.”Leo tilted his head, his eyes sparkling with mischief. “Doing what? Writing more stories, maybe?”Her heart skipped a beat at his teasing tone, bu

  • Erotic stories (steamy haven)   Not so innocent

    Leo stood at the bottom of the stairs, still holding on to the faint trace of her scent that lingered in the air.He chuckled softly to himself.The notebook might have been back in her hands, but the words were already burned into his memory.She could deny it all she wanted, but he wasn’t stupid.He had noticed the way she avoided his eyes.The way her voice trembled when she spoke to him.The way her cheeks turned pink when he read those lines aloud.Those weren’t just silly little stories.They were fantasies.And they were about him.Leo turned around and walked back to his room, the corners of his mouth curled into a smug smile. He closed the door behind him with a quiet click, locking out the rest of the world.The smirk never left his face.He threw himself onto the bed and leaned back against the pillows, folding his arms behind his head in thought.So... his sweet, quiet little stepsister had dirty thoughts.And they weren’t vague or innocent.They were vivid.They were deta

  • Erotic stories (steamy haven)   The missing note book

    Ava sat on her bed with her knees pulled tightly to her chest.The house was completely quiet now. Dinner was over, the dishes were clean, and everyone had gone into their rooms.She had not spoken to Leo since. She did not want to.Her eyes moved slowly to her nightstand. She reached out, opened the drawer, and frowned when she saw it was empty.Her notebook was not there.She checked again, this time pulling the drawer all the way out. Still nothing.Her heart skipped a beat.That notebook had all of her stories. The ones she never showed anyone. Not even her mom.She got off the bed and searched under the pillows, between the sheets, and even behind the curtain—just in case she had left it on the window ledge earlier.But it was nowhere to be found.She grabbed her phone and opened her mom’s chat. There were a few new messages. Mom: Just checking in. Did you eat?Mom: Be nice to Mr. Grant and Leo, okay? I’ll be back on Sunday night. I love you.Ava sighed deeply.Right. Her mom ha

  • Erotic stories (steamy haven)   The kitchen

    The sun was already up by the time Ava opened her eyes again.Her body felt heavy. Her mind, even heavier. She had barely slept after Leo left her room last night. Every time she closed her eyes, she kept seeing his face. Hearing his voice. That cold smirk. That sharp tone.She sat up and looked around.The room was quiet now. Normal. But her chest still felt unsettled.With a deep breath, she got out of bed, pulled on a hoodie over her thin tank top, and walked down the long hallway toward the kitchen.She wasn’t even sure what she was supposed to do. Was he serious? Did he really expect her to take over the maid’s job?She stepped into the kitchen and froze.Leo was already there.He was sitting at the counter, dressed in a black t-shirt and grey sweatpants, a mug in his hand. His eyes lifted the moment she entered.Ava paused, her fingers curling around the edge of the doorframe.He didn’t look surprised to see her. In fact, he looked like he had been waiting.“Well,” he said. “Loo

  • Erotic stories (steamy haven)   The stranger in my room

    Ava sat on the edge of the bed, her arms crossed, her heart still racing from the fight downstairs.Why does he hate me so much?She hadn’t done anything to him. She didn’t even want to be here. It was her mom who got married, not her. She was just… part of the package.She sighed and leaned forward, elbows on her knees. Her room was too quiet, too big, too clean. Nothing felt like hers.Then the door creaked open.She turned fast.“Oh,” she said, standing up quickly. “Mr. Grant.”He smiled gently and stepped inside. “I just wanted to check on you.”“I’m fine,” Ava said, even though she wasn’t.He looked around her room like he wasn’t sure what to say next. “I know Leo can be difficult.”Ava gave a short laugh. “That’s one way to put it.”“He’s not always like this,” Grant said. “He’s… upset. He thinks I moved on too fast. He doesn’t understand that people can find happiness again, even after pain.”Ava nodded slowly.“He’ll come around,” Grant said. “Just give him time. And if he eve
