Liminal Space Gas Station

“Spread for me," he growled, his fingers teasing her wet and eager folds. “I… I can’t…” Celeste whispered, shivering, her body betraying her with every desperate twitch. “Yes, you can,” he hissed, pressing harder, dragging a fingertip through her slick heat. “Show me… how wet, how hungry you are for me.” Celeste never expected her stepbrother to ignite a fire she couldn’t control. Every accidental touch, every heated glance left her trembling, yearning for him in ways both thrilling and forbidden. When Jace invaded her space, teasing, daring, and dominating, she was pushed to the edge. Desire coiled low, nerves screamed, and every inch of her ached to be claimed and filled by the one man she shouldn’t want. Forbidden, dripping, and utterly consuming, this was a craving that shouldn’t exist, yet she couldn’t, and wouldn’t, resist.

Herbie was subconsciously self-sabotaging his relationship with every famous, beautiful, successful girl he's been with. When the relationship seemed to be going well, he'd find one little detail that would be enough reason to break-up. It could be that she's too clingy or too busy, to the trivial ones like having long fingernails or having eyes that are too big or too small. That's because in that tiny little space in his heart he kept a secret. He's got this huge crush on his next-door neighbor for what seems like forever. For ten years they were neighbors, for ten years he was content just stealing glances. Not that he didn't know her. She's his ex-girlfriend's sister! On their tenth year as neighbors, he got elected as President and CEO of a multinational corporation at only 36 years old. He didn't want to move apartments but duty called.

The space between them disappeared. She arched into him, tilting her head as his lips traced a slow path down her jaw, then lower. Goodness, she wanted more. *** Valentina De Luca was never meant to be a Caruso bride.

Miraculously, she woke up and found herself three days before it all began. Nicole seized the advantage to reclaim her storage space, flipping the switch on full-on stockpiling mode.

Lily Peterson's childhood sweetheart, Sean Clements, ran over my 70-year-old mother in his car while he was drunk-driving. Because of that, Mom died on the spot. But Lily insisted on signing the letter of forgiveness for Sean. "My mother-in-law had planned on scamming Sean for more money, so she lay beneath the wheels on purpose. She should be the one taking on the entire responsibility." Not only did Sean get released as an innocent man, but he also received the ten-million-dollar payment given by the insurance company as compensation for his emotional distress. "Honey, I grew up with Sean since we were kids. I can't just sit by and watch his life get ruined by imprisonment! Can't you be more gracious and stop bringing this issue up?" After leaving the police station, Sean uploads a post on his social media feed in a high-profile manner. "Lily looks so gorgeous when she defends me in front of others! Childhood sweethearts will always be the closest people in life!" Lily leaves a like on Sean's post right in front of me. I remain eerily calm. "Let's get a divorce, Lily." She huffs coldly in return. "You just want me to console you, right? Tristin Foley, you're already 30 years old. Can you stop being childish?" I've already brought up divorce multiple times in the past. That's why Lily refuses to believe that I will leave her for real. But what she doesn't know is that I've snuck in a divorce agreement into the documents meant for the case closure registration, and she has personally left her signature there.

Mystic Han was quite contented with her life. Though she lost her mother at a young age, she was living a dream like reality with her father and twin brother. Everything was fine until they decided to spent their summer on a place away from the city, on a small town known for it's forest filled with terrifying footprints of a specific pack of lurking predators, also known as wolves.

What would you think a girl would do, finding out that a werewolf killed her family and that same werewolf was even her mate? Will the bond be enough in her heart to leave a space for forgiveness and a second chance? Setting this aside, Mystic will try anything to make the man who killed her family feel the pain she's feeling. Even if it's her mate.

Now, she faces a final, haunting choice: can she carve a space for herself in a heart that has always been closed to her?

Gumuho ang isa sa mga pangarap ni Naneng Araneta ang magkaroon ng magandang relasyon nang harap-harapan niyang nasaksihan ang panloloko ng kanyang nobyong si Raze Almirante at ang kanyang matalik na kaibigan na si Sheena Lopez—isang gabi sa mismong condo ng nobyo. Matapos ang tatlong-taon na panloloko ng nobyo sa kanya, napagdesisyonan ni Naneng hiwalayan ito't magsimula ng panibagong pangarap—para sa kanyang sarili, at maging sa mga kapatid na rin.

Ngunit, bagaman, nawala man iyon ay alam niyang may panibagong darating—iyon ay ang magkaroon ng panibagong trabaho sa isang malaking kompanya ng Exhibition Space kung saan dito niya ulit makikita si Kid Gabriel Alcantara—ang pinsan ng dating amo nito. Isang gabi sa isang malaking event ng Exhibition Space—hindi inaasahan ni Naneng na ang patikim-tikim lang sana ng alak ay nauwi sa pagkalasing nito. Nang kinabukasan, nagtaka—nagtanong sa sarili kung paano siya napunta sa isang hindi pamilyar na lugar. Saka niya lang naalala ang lahat nang makita si Kid na nakatayo sa paanan ng kama. Dahil sa takot at reputasyon niya bilang babae—nakiusap siya kay Kid na itago na ang lang lahat na nangyari sa kanila. Bagaman, pumayag si Kid nang magkaroon ng isang kondisyon; iyon ay ang maging tagapagbigay ng aliw sa kanya tuwing nangangailang ang katawan nito. Mabigat sa kalooban ni Naneng ang kasunduan na iyon. Ngunit, kinakailangan niyang sumang-ayon dahil kilala niya ang binatang iyon; may pangalan sa kumunidad. Isang Alcantara na magiging bangungot sa kanyang kinabukasan at hindi niya matatakasan; nagtapos sa pagtanggap ng alok.
