Painful Pleasures(Short Steamy Collections) Latest Fall II
Lila lasted three days. Three days of pacing her dingy little apartment in the bad part of town, the one she kept just because it looked normal enough on the outside. Three days of ignoring the gnawing pit in her gut that had nothing to do with regular hunger. She fed a little on a random guy at a gas station, barely enough to take the edge off—but it tasted like ash. Marcus texted her on the second day. Simple message. *Hey. That coffee still on the table if you want it.* She stared at her phone for twenty minutes before replying: *Busy. Tomorrow?* He answered right away. *Tomorrow works. My place or yours?* She told him his. Neutral ground. Easier to leave if she needed to. By the time she knocked on his door the next evening, she’d changed outfits three times. Settled on jeans and a soft sweater—something that didn’t scream *fuck me right now*, even though that’s exactly what she wanted, sorry needed. The hunger was getting louder, but every time she thought about drainin
Painful Pleasures(Short Steamy Collections) Latest Fall
Lila had done this a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. Slip into the world of the living, pick out some poor bastard who looked like he’d be easy to break, and drain him dry before dawn. That was the job. That was the hunger. Simple as that. Tonight the club smelled like cheap vodka, sweat, and too much cologne. Bass thumped through the floor. Lila moved through the crowd in a tight black dress that clung to every curve, the kind of dress that made men forget their own names. Her skin had that faint, unnatural glow under the colored lights,nothing anyone could put their finger on, just enough to hook them. She scanned the room slowly, lips parted, letting the energy of the place wash over her. There. He was sitting alone at the bar, nursing a whiskey. Dark hair, a little messy like he’d run his hands through itmany times. Strong jaw. Shoulders that filled out his button-down shirt nicely. He wasn’t the flashiest guy in the place, but something about the way he held himself caug
Painful Pleasures(Short Steamy Collections) Chp6: Beach Town Stranger
I needed to get out of the city for a weekend. Booked a cheap motel room in this little beach town two hours away. No plans, just me, the ocean, and some time to clear my head after another fight with my roommate and too many late nights at work. Friday night I walked down to the boardwalk, salt air in my face, and found a small bar right on the sand. Live music, string lights, people drinking and laughing. I sat at the bar with a margarita, watching the waves crash in the dark. That’s when he sat down two stools over. Sun-bleached hair, tanned skin, worn t-shirt that fit him just right. He ordered a beer and glanced my way. “First time here?” he asked. “Yeah. Needed a break from the city.” “Smart. This place slows everything down.” He smiled. “I’m Jake. Local.” “Sophie.” We started talking. He worked on boats, fixed engines, took tourists out fishing sometimes. Lived in a small house a block from the beach. I told him about my marketing job and how I was tired of the noise. T
Painful Pleasures(Short Steamy Collections) Chp5: Open Bar
My cousin’s wedding was the last place I wanted to be on a Saturday night. I only showed up because family guilt is a powerful thing. The ceremony was fine; pretty church, lots of flowers—but the reception at the big waterfront hall was packed with people I barely knew. I was sitting at a table by myself, sipping cheap champagne, watching my cousin dance with her new husband while my phone kept buzzing with texts from my roommate asking how bad it was. I needed air. Or another drink. Probably both. The open bar was busy, but the bartender handed me a fresh glass fast. That’s when I noticed the guy standing next to me. Tall, broad shoulders filling out his dark suit jacket, tie already loosened. Short beard, messy brown hair like he’d been running his hands through it. He looked as bored as I felt. “Open bar is the only good part of these things,” he said, clinking his whiskey glass against mine without asking. “Truth.” I took a sip. “You with the bride or groom?” “Groom. O
Painful Pleasures(Short Steamy Collections) Chp4: Gate 419
My flight was delayed, again. Three hours and counting at O’Hare, and the storm outside wasn’t letting up anytime soon. I’d already walked the entire terminal twice, eaten some dry sushi that cost way too much, and now I was stuck at the airport bar nursing a gin and tonic. My phone was almost dead, and I was bored out of my mind. The guy two seats down had been sitting there just as long. He looked like he traveled a lot—button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up, laptop open in front of him, but he wasn’t really working. Dark hair, sharp jawline, early thirties maybe. When I glanced over for the third time, he caught me. “Yours delayed too?” he asked, closing the laptop. “Yeah. Supposed to board an hour ago. Yours?” “Denver. This storm is screwing everybody.” He slid over to the seat right next to me. “I’m Caleb.” “Ava. Austin.” We started talking to kill time. He was a consultant, flew three or four times a month for work. I told him I was a graphic designer comi

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

Painful Pleasures(Short Steamy Collections) Daddy's Turn
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
