The guest house had good light.

That was the first thing Selena noticed when she decided to convert the small cottage—originally designed for family visitors who never came—into her own studio. The windows faced east, which meant morning sun without the harsh afternoon glare that would wash out colors. There was a long wall perfect for pinning designs. The kitchen could become a small meeting space. It was exactly the right size for someone building something real.

She didn't ask Matthew for p

  • One Year With Mr.Kingland   Silent craving

    I lay on my back staring at the ceiling fan spinning lazy circles, the sheets already cooling under my ass. Dave was still breathing hard beside me, with one arm draped across my stomach like it always ended up. Another Tuesday night special — missionary for five minutes, a bit of clumsy fingering, him grunting "You feel so good, babe" right before he came. Same script, different week. Twelve fucking years of this.I loved him. God, I did. Dave was the guy who remembered my coffee order, rubbed my feet after long shifts at the firm, and still looked at me like I hung the moon. But my pussy? It had checked out months ago. Maybe years."You okay?" he mumbled, already half-asleep."Yeah," I lied, kissing his forehead. But I wasn't okay inside. *I can't keep doing this.* Three nights later I finally said it.We were in the kitchen after dinner, wine glasses still half-full. Dave was loading the dishwasher like a responsible husband when I leaned against the counter and just blurted it o

  • One Year With Mr.Kingland   New Guy

    My fingers flew across the keyboard, the words pouring out like they always did when I had something real to say.She was sandwiched between them. His cock deep inside her while her tongue worked the other man's shaft. The way her body responded when they both moved in sync — one fucking her while the other fucked her throat — was absolutely primal. No thinking. No walls. Just three bodies chasing the same high.The girl moaned around his length, tasting salt and her own arousal mixing with his. Behind her, she could feel every inch of him hitting that spot that made her see stars. Her hands gripped the sheets, her hips pushing back, demanding more."Fuck, you're perfect," one of them groaned.She pulled back just enough to breathe. "Harder. I want it harder."And they gave it to her.I leaned back in my chair, reading what I'd just written. My pussy was genuinely throbbing. Writing about what we'd done last night was hitting different when it was based on actual experience instead of

  • One Year With Mr.Kingland   Stepfather

    If someone had told me that one day I'd fall for my stepfather, I would've laughed right in their face. Actually, no. I would've called them crazy because seriously, who even thinks about something like that? It's disgusting, wrong and forbidden as hell. And yet, life has this weird habit of throwing you straight into the one situation you swore you would never be caught dead in. I honestly didn't know my mother wasn’t around— I only knew later that my mom had gone out with her friends.I thought Martin had already left for work, so I padded straight into their bedroom, still fuming. I dropped onto the edge of the bed and started yapping loudly about how pissed I was at my mother, how she got married to Martins my stepfather without even discussing it with me first, my words tumbling out in an angry rush even though the glass shower walls would drown me out. I didn’t care. I just needed to vent.The water shut off. The door slid open. Martin stepped out completely naked, no towel,

  • One Year With Mr.Kingland   Contract

    "It means you can't go to a charity gala I'm attending and get drunk and start a fight with my business rivals," Matthew said. "You have to be able to smile and look married and not embarrass me. It's not complicated.""And the intimate relations clause?""Means we don't sleep together," he said. "We don't kiss unless someone's watching. We don't touch unless we're being photographed. You have your own bedroom. I have mine. We're roommates who happen to be legally married.""What about Victoria?" Selena asked, and she knew the moment she asked it that she'd made a mistake, because Matthew's expression changed slightly."How do you know about Victoria?" he asked."I researched you," Selena said. "Before I came here. There was an article. From a few years ago. It said you were serious with someone named Victoria Lang.""We were," Matthew said, and his voice was suddenly very neutral. "That ended.""Because—""Because it did," he said, cutting her off. "And it has nothing to do with this

  • One Year With Mr.Kingland   Jayson

    me still wants him. When it’s all shattered and broken into pieces… it’s so unimaginable when the heart just stops working. Will leaving us be worth it? You can call me that curvy girl — the finest in my family, with a mad sense of humor. By the way, I’m just a 26-year-old Canadian girl. On the 10th of March, one of my bitches rang me up. “Girl, get dressed! We’re hitting the club tonight. I need my ride-or-die with me.”It was Mila Anderson. Her dad is stupid rich, so when she says club, she means proper VIP vibes. We pulled up and the bass was shaking everything. That’s when I saw Jayson. He was so damn fine I couldn’t take my eyes off him. My knees literally went weak. I froze right there. Mila looked back. “Hey girl, what’s good? Who are you staring at like that?” I didn’t even blink. “That handsome, cute, sexy guy right there. You know him?” “Yeah, he’s a regular here,” she said. I spun around smiling. “And who’s that girl next to him?” “That’s his girlfriend, Cas

  • One Year With Mr.Kingland   What If The World

    Here’s a dramatic romance chapter with emotional tension and a slow-burn attraction.Chapter 8: The Contract Was Never Meant for LoveThe rain drummed softly against the floor-to-ceiling windows of Adrian Kingston’s penthouse. From the fiftieth floor, the city glittered below like a sea of stars, yet his attention never wandered beyond the woman standing in front of him.Elena Hart.Six months ago, they had signed a contract. It was simple on paper: she would pose as his fiancée for one year to satisfy his late grandfather’s final condition before he inherited the Kingston empire. In return, she would receive enough money to erase her family’s debts and start a new life.No emotions.No questions.No falling in love.Those had been the rules.Yet somewhere between charity galas, fake kisses for photographers, and late-night conversations neither of them admitted enjoying, the lines had begun to blur.“You’ve been staring at me for five minutes,” Elena teased, closing the folder she ha
