“Open up,” he ordered, and I immediately obeyed. He checked to see if I had swallowed. His eyes blazed as he nodded in approval. “That’s like a good girl.” I blushed at the compliment as I nibbled on my lips, feeling satisfied at being praised washing over my every being. His eyes followed my little action. “What are you to say, pet?” He asked as he began stroking my head. “Thank you, master. “I replied shyly. At this point, I knew that I was too far gone to stop. I enjoyed it way too much—the feeling of being controlled. He burns for her and will burn down the world to have her.

Kael Draven died in the most ridiculous way possible, chasing fried chicken across the street. When he wakes up, he finds himself reborn in a world of magic and monsters. A second chance at life. A chance to become powerful. There is only one problem. His stats are completely useless. Strength: F Mana: F Speed: F And yet, one thing stands above everything else. Luck: SSS Spells fail, but enemies fall. Battles turn deadly, but somehow he survives. Treasures appear when he least expects them. To everyone else, Kael looks like a hidden genius. A monster in disguise. A mage far beyond comprehension. But the truth is much simpler. “I swear I didn’t do anything.” As misunderstandings grow and powerful enemies begin to take interest, Kael is dragged into conflicts far beyond his control. Because in a world ruled by power, destiny, and gods… His “luck” might be the most dangerous force of all.

⚠️ Trigger Warnings: Contains explicit sexual content, consensual power dynamics, manipulation, dominance/submission themes, obsession, emotional degradation, and morally gray characters. 18+ only. Reader discretion is advised. My Reluctant Plaything is a raw, intoxicating collection of gay erotica where lust blurs the lines between love and control. Every story is a clash of dominance and resistance of men who crave power and those who refuse to kneel... until they do. From ruthless mafia heirs and calculating professors to damaged billionaires and possessive strangers, these stories dive deep into forbidden desires, reluctant submission, and the thrilling high of surrendering to the one man you shouldn't want. It’s not about romance. It’s about obsession. They said no. But their bodies said everything else.

In der majestätischen Wolkenstadt, die seit Jahrhunderten hoch über der vermeintlich unbewohnbaren, toxischen Erde schwebt, herrscht der Rat mit eiserner Hand über die lebenswichtigen Äther-Ressourcen. Die Gesellschaft ist tief gespalten: Während Elara, die Tochter eines hochrangigen Ratsmitglieds, in luxuriöser, kühler Sterilität aufwächst, kämpft sich die rebellische Mechanikerin Nova täglich durch die rußigen, dunklen Schächte der Unterwelt. Ihre gegensätzlichen Welten prallen unerwartet aufeinander, als ein kleines, unscheinbares Artefakt zum Leben erwacht: Das Medaillon des vierjährigen Luan. Das blau pulsierende Schmuckstück birgt den Schlüssel zu einer vergessenen Technologie und weckt tief in den Katakomben der Stadt ein mechanisches Wunderwerk aus seinem jahrhundertelangen Schlaf – den Silbernen Falken. Es ist eine gigantische, mit Äther betriebene Dampflokomotive, die einst nicht für Schienen, sondern für das Fliegen am weiten Himmel konstruiert wurde. Als der Rat die unermessliche Macht des Artefakts erkennt und es für seine eigenen, skrupellosen Zwecke beschlagnahmen will, beginnt eine gnadenlose Jagd. Gemeinsam mit Luans Vater Elian fassen Nova, Elara und der kleine Luan einen waghalsigen Entschluss: Sie kapern den Silbernen Falken und wagen die Flucht aus der fliegenden Festung. Doch der Weg in die Freiheit ist ein Himmelfahrtskommando. Sie müssen die massige Maschine durch die todbringende "Sturmkralle" navigieren – eine gigantische, zerstörerische Wetterbarriere, die die Wolkenstadt vom Rest der Welt abschirmt. Dicht auf den Fersen sind ihnen die brutalen Wächter und die schwer bewaffneten Luftschiffe des Rates. Dank Novas technischem Genie, Elaras Insiderwissen und Luans mystischer Verbindung zum Zug gelingt ihnen in letzter Sekunde der Durchbruch. Das Buch endet mit einem atemberaubenden Moment: Der beschädigte Zug durchbricht die ewige Wolkendecke und landet sicher auf dem Boden. Die Kinder erkennen, dass die Legende der toten Erde eine gigantische Lüge war – unter ihnen erstreckt sich ein üppiger, lebendiger Wald.

Welcome to Blackwood University, where the tuition costs a fortune, but the secrets cost your life. I thought a scholarship to the country’s most elite university was my ticket out of the shadows. I was wrong. I didn’t just walk into a school; I walked into a lion’s den. And sitting on the throne is Niccolò De Luca. Nico is beautiful, brilliant, and brutal. He is the heir to the most powerful crime syndicate on the East Coast, and he runs this campus like his personal kingdom. He breaks hearts, he breaks bones, and now, he’s decided to break me. Not because I’m the scholarship case. But because he knows who I really am. I am the daughter of the man who stole millions from the De Luca family and vanished. Nico intends to use me to lure my father out of hiding. His plan is simple: torment me until I break, make my life a living hell, and keep me under his thumb until the debt is paid in blood. But the line between hate and obsession is razor-thin. When his torment turns into possessiveness, and his taunts turn into touches I can’t refuse, the game changes. I was supposed to be his pawn, but I’m becoming his weakness. Now, with a rival family closing in on campus and my father’s enemies circling, Nico has to make a choice: Hand me over to settle the score... or burn the world down to keep me. "You think you can hide from me in the library, little mouse?" Nico whispered, his breath hot against the shell of my ear as he pinned me against the stacks. "You are living on borrowed time. And unfortunately for you, I’m the one collecting the interest."

"“Funny, charming, and utterly captivating!

To make things worse, he’s my main competition now, since he took over his parents’ flower shop. If I give into this sizzling attraction between us, it could jeopardize everything I’ve worked so hard to achieve. But if I’m not careful, he might not just be the first man to pluck my petals—he might also be the only man to capture my heart."

Quand son amie d’autrefois meurt soudain, Camille rentre chez elle. Elle fait des photos, cherche un peu de calme. Un lieu suspendu entre la brume, et les souvenirs. Près d’un lac perdu, elle développe des clichés qui semblent lui parler. Les tirages montrent des formes vagues, des mouvements étranges. comme si la lumière cherchait à lui montrer ce que sa mémoire avait oublié. Dans cet air léger, Camille part à la fois en quête de chagrin et en quête de clarté. Chaque photo devient une porte entrouverte sur le passé, chaque reflet un fragment de vérité. Ses pas la ramènent vers des visages d’autrefois, Vers Léo - son amour de jeunesse, parti sans dire au revoir - puis vers Élise, dont l’ombre rôde près du lac comme dans son cœur. Entre la brume et le calme, les jours translucides touchent à la mémoire fragile et à la douceur de lâcher prise. Ce voyage a des airs de poème, un récit entre ombre et reflet, où l’on apprend que la clarté ne naît pas de l’absence du trouble — mais de son acceptation. Une histoire qui parle de souvenirs, tout en mêlant tendresse et paix intérieure. Une histoire de ces moments pas très clairs, mais qui malgré tout nous guident encore.

I sell handmade fortune cookies in the park. Each one costs $10,000, yet every day, people fight to buy them. That’s because what I sell are fertility fortune cookies. Eat one, and you can get pregnant instantly. You can even choose what kind of child you want. Slip in a double-yolk charm, and you’ll have twins. Seal in a perfect test paper, and your child will be a genius. A spayed female dog ate one and ended up pregnant with six puppies. Someone buried a fortune cookie beneath a withered tree, and by the next day, it had burst into full bloom. I sell fortune cookies to both women and men—anyone who wants to get pregnant. I turn no one away. Even animals, if they so much as make a sound, I’ll feed them. Until one day, a young woman, Mara Kessler, who had been standing in line from dawn until dusk, finally stepped forward and timidly said she wanted to buy a fortune cookie. I only took one look at her, then staggered back in terror. "I can’t sell to you. Leave. Now."
