WILD WEDDING HOOK UP  - Romance novels & stories
Sassenach W
“Please,” Isabella whispered, her eyes lifting to his, and he paused. She wanted him—Alexander could see it burning in her gaze, in the hand that grasped his chest, pulling him closer. Damn it, she probably didn’t even know she was doing it. “Tell me, you don’t want me right now and I will stop.” His cock pressed painfully against his fly, against her, but he would back away—it would kill him, but he’d do it. “I… I—” She broke off, shaking her head as though she couldn’t believe her own mind, her tongue brushing nervously across her lower lip. “I can’t.” “Can’t?” he pressed, hope surging. “I want you.” It was hushed, it was uncertain, but it was there. A groan ripped through his restraint, and his lips crushed hers with every possessive ounce of his being. “Lex…” she moaned, raking a hand through his hair as her other hand clawed at him through his jacket. “This kind of fun is worth fighting for,” he rasped. —--------- Isabella Hawthorne wasn't looking for happily ever after—she just wanted to survive it. It was her brother and best friend's wedding, and happy as she was for them, Isabella couldn't help but feel lonely. Everyone around her seemed to have someone… Except her. One too many drinks later, she finds the perfect distraction: Alexander Bolton. He’s dark, dangerous, and looks like he knows exactly how to make a woman forget her own name. ​The plan was simple: No strings. No names. ​But when Isabella wakes up the next morning with the mother of all headaches and a ring on her left hand, she realizes "no strings" has turned into a legal binding. It had to be a nightmare… One she desperately needs to wake from.

The Cobra of Smoke  - The Burden of Sight - Romance novels & stories
StaceSteele
Shantali Mae Cross, a security guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Ancient Arts, encounters an impossible phenomenon during her night shift—smoke from the heating vents coalesces into the form of a cobra near ancient Egyptian canopic jars, showing her visions of possible futures. She sees herself accepting a promotion, arguing with a dark-haired man in a hospital, wearing a wedding dress, and standing at a graveside in autumn. Shaken by the experience, Shantali becomes obsessed with understanding what she witnessed, diving into research about serpent smoke divination practices. Her investigation reveals that others throughout history have experienced similar visions at crucial crossroads in their lives, but those who became consumed with interpreting and controlling their prophetic glimpses inevitably destroyed the very relationships and opportunities the visions had shown them. As Shantali spirals deeper into her research, she begins shutting out her boyfriend David, a fellow security guard who loves her deeply. When David witnesses the cobra phenomenon himself, he helps ground her in reality rather than obsession. Through her studies, particularly the warnings left by Dr. Amelia Thorne—a researcher who died alone after chasing similar mysteries—Shantali realizes the cobra's true message: choose love over fear, presence over obsession. The visions weren't warnings of tragedy but glimpses of a life fully lived with all its ordinary struggles and profound connections. When David proposes, Shantali chooses their real relationship over her pursuit of supernatural answers. She completes her research by writing a fictional novel about her experience, transforming obsession into art while helping future cobra witnesses understand that some mysteries are meant to guide rather than be solved. The story explores themes of choice versus destiny, the danger of sacrificing present love for future certainty, and the wisdom of embracing life's uncertainties alongside those who love us.
