Claire woke up to the smell of coffee.

For a second she forgot where she was, then felt the empty space beside her in the bed. She sat up. Noah’s shirt from last night was still on the floor. The bathroom door was open and the shower wasn’t running.

She pulled on a T-shirt and walked out to the living room. Noah stood at her counter in his jeans from yesterday, no shirt, pouring coffee into two mugs.

“Morning,” he said.

“You’re still here.”

“You didn’t kick me out.” He handed her a mug. “

  • Painful Pleasures(Short Steamy Collections)   **Chapter 4**

    Claire spent most of Thursday pretending she wasn’t watching the clock. Work - She fixed the same layout twice, answered emails late, and kept glancing at her phone even though Noah had already said he’d be late. By the time six o’clock came and went she was restless. At 7:40 her phone buzzed. Noah: *Just got home. Still want to come down?* She didn’t answer with words. She just went. He opened the door in a clean T-shirt and jeans, hair still damp from a shower. The apartment smelled like soap and something he’d heated up in the microwave. “Long day?” she asked. “Yeah. Extra hours. You eat yet?” “Not really.” They shared the leftover pasta standing at the counter. It wasn’t much of a meal, but neither of them seemed to care. When the food was gone Noah set the container aside and pulled her in by the waist. The kiss started slow. It didn’t stay that way. Claire’s back hit the fridge. His hands slid under her shirt, warm against her skin. She pulled the shirt over her head

    Claire woke up to the smell of coffee. For a second she forgot where she was, then felt the empty space beside her in the bed. She sat up. Noah’s shirt from last night was still on the floor. The bathroom door was open and the shower wasn’t running. She pulled on a T-shirt and walked out to the living room. Noah stood at her counter in his jeans from yesterday, no shirt, pouring coffee into two mugs. “Morning,” he said. “You’re still here.” “You didn’t kick me out.” He handed her a mug. “Figured I’d make coffee before I left for work.” She took it. The coffee was strong, the way she liked it. They stood there drinking in the quiet kitchen. It felt strangely normal. Noah checked the time on his phone. “I should go. Shift starts in forty minutes.” “Okay.” He set the mug down, stepped closer, and kissed her. It was quick but not casual. When he pulled back he said, “I’ll text you later.” Then he left. Claire stood in the kitchen for a while after the door closed. The apartmen

    Claire woke up sore in a way that made the night before impossible to ignore. She lay there for a minute staring at the ceiling, then rolled over and checked the time. 7:42 a.m. Work emails were already waiting. She sat up, pulled on an old T-shirt, and went to make coffee. The apartment felt the same as always, but her body didn’t. Every step reminded her of Noah’s hands, his mouth, the way he’d moved inside her. She tried to push it aside and open her laptop. Around nine she heard movement downstairs. Footsteps. A door closing. A few minutes later the building’s front door opened and shut. He was leaving for work. She told herself that was good. Distance. Clear heads. By noon she was still thinking about him. She forced herself through the rest of the workday, answered client messages, fixed a design that didn’t need fixing. At five she closed the laptop and stood at the window. The street below looked ordinary. People walking home. A guy walking a dog. Nothing that mat

    Claire had been listening to the noise for three nights straight.It started around eleven. Music first—low bass that thumped through the floorboards into her living room. Then voices. Laughing. A door slamming. Once she heard something that sounded a lot like a headboard hitting the wall.She lived alone on the second floor of a quiet building. The unit below had been empty for two months until the new guy moved in last week. She hadn’t seen him yet, only heard him.Tuesday night she finally had enough.She pulled on a hoodie over her tank top, shoved her feet into slippers, and went downstairs. The hallway smelled like someone had just cooked garlic. She knocked harder than she meant to.The music cut off. Footsteps. Next the door opened.The guy standing there was taller than she expected. Dark hair still damp like he’d just showered, gray T-shirt, black sweatpants. He looked surprised to see her.“Hey,” he said.“Hi. I’m Claire. From upstairs.” She pointed at the ceiling. “The mu

  • Painful Pleasures(Short Steamy Collections)   Chapter 6

    Lena woke up knowing the day wasn’t going to stay quiet. Alex was already awake beside her, staring at the ceiling. When she shifted he turned his head. “You feel it too?” he asked. “Yeah.” They got up slow. Made coffee. Moved around each other in the kitchen like people who already knew the morning was temporary. Neither of them brought up Mia. Neither of them needed to. Around ten Lena’s phone rang. Mia’s name filled the screen. This time she answered on the first ring. “Hey.” Mia’s voice was tight. “Can I come over? Right now. I need to talk to you in person.” Lena looked at Alex. He was watching her from across the counter, mug halfway to his mouth. “Yeah,” Lena said. “Come over.” The call ended. She set the phone down. “She’s on her way,” she told him. Alex nodded once. “I’ll stay. If that’s okay.” “It’s okay.” They didn’t clean anything. Didn’t try to hide the second coffee mug or the fact that the bed had clearly been shared. The truth was already

    Lena barely slept. She kept checking the time on her phone, waiting for morning to show up so she could stop lying there thinking about Mia walking through her door. Alex slept heavier than she did. His arm stayed draped over her waist most of the night, solid and warm, like he wasn’t carrying the same weight she was. Around seven she finally got up. Made coffee. Stood at the counter drinking it while the city woke up outside the window. Alex came out of the bedroom a little later, hair messy, wearing only a pair of sweatpants he’d left at her place. “You look like you didn’t sleep,” he said. “I didn’t.” He poured himself a cup and leaned against the counter next to her. “What time is she coming?” “She said around eleven.” Alex nodded. “I’ll clear out before then. Make it look like I was never here.” The idea of him leaving just so they could keep lying made Lena’s stomach turn, but she didn’t argue. There wasn’t a better option. They moved through the next couple hours care

  • Painful Pleasures(Short Steamy Collections)   The Wrong Send

    *A New Collection I was sprawled across my bed in nothing but the thin silk robe I’d stolen from Mom’s closet, the fabric slipping off one shoulder as I read Tyler’s latest text for the third time. “Babe, I’m dying over here. Send me something filthy so I can stroke to it before I lose my mind.”

    The hotel room door barely clicked shut before hands were all over me. Not gentle. Not careful. Hungry. Mike shoved me backward onto the nearest bed so hard my back bounced on the mattress. The lamp cast ugly yellow light across the room, but nobody cared about romance. My head was still spinni

    Mark stood there in the near-dark, the faint glow from my nightlight catching the hard line of his jaw and the massive bulge straining the front of his gray sweatpants. He didn’t look shocked nor angry. He just looked… hungry. Like he’d been waiting for this exact moment. He stepped all the wa
