Single Mom Romance Novels & Stories

“Hey, Cas. Are you nervous?” I shook my head before grabbing my wife’s ass. “Nope.” “You look beautiful, Raven.” Ripley told our daughter with tears in her eyes. “The perfect bride.” Raven gave her mom a hug, and we all chatted until it was time. “Let’s take our places, Ri.” River's wife, Monique, said.They are a beautiful couple, perfectly matched in their own way. Monique had a way of dealing with River’s bossiness and temper like nobody else. Whenever Moni is around, River is calm. Well, calmer.

Roman was getting so tall, he just turned fifteen and he looked so much like dad. “So what did you want to do today mom?” I asked. “Beach day. Riker and I loved going there. The waves always calm me down. Let’s go to the beach.” Mom said, smiling at the memory of her and dad together. She never dated anyone after dad died. She didn’t have a second mate or she didn’t look for one, but she wasn’t miserable. She just focused on her boutique, her kids and her friends. I hoped that once I was eighteen, she might be open to it. Might be able to see Roman and I were doing okay and she was allowed to have a new love in her life. Just six more months to go.

My mother leans back dramatically. “That settles it. Honeymoon.” She adds. I chuckle once out of pure disbelief. “That makes absolutely no sense.” I say. “It makes perfect sense.” Mom says. “No it doesn’t.” “You need romance.” “We need peace.” I say. “Exactly,” she says triumphantly. “And peace comes from romance.” “That sounds fake.” “It sounds correct.” I rub my jaw slowly while exhaustion creeps deeper into my body. Last night already drained me. Now this. My mother suddenly grabs her phone.

Lillian shouted, nodding in pain. "Good," I said as I released her. "But, Mom," she protested, rubbing her ear, "I saw a video online that said single mothers face a lot." "Like how?" "Umm, they said in terms of intimacy—not money, because I know you'll say you have money. What about the other side of intimacy, huh? I heard if someone has had good sex, it always makes it difficult for that person to resist. So, Mom, you need to get married. I need a father. Besides, he looks like your husband, which means the equation balances, Mom!"

His mother was the mistress of his father—Bernard Thorne—and the only woman who had ever managed to keep the man on a leash. She stood across from him now, her arms folded, her eyes glassy. “I want a grandchild before I get any older,” she said, breaking the silence with that unapologetic tone. “Can’t you see the wrinkles on my forehead?” His mouth twitched into a smirk. “Don’t worry, Mom. You’re not getting old. You don’t look a day over sixteen.” She arched a brow. “Be serious, Roman.” “I am serious.” He leaned back, swirling the liquor in his glass. “And you don’t need to worry. You’ll get your grandchild soon.”

After giving birth to Leo, my sex drive reduced,I focused more on making money. I got up from lying to sitting on the edge of the bed, and stretching my body like chewing gum,Leo reached out and placed his hands on my shoulders, his touch gentle and comforting. He started rubbing my back in slow circles, trying to soothe me. To him, this was just a son helping his mom. He had no idea what was going on inside my head.

In a faint voice, she asked, "If you wanted me, why didn't you just force me to marry you? You could have owned me without all this secrecy. You could have done anything to me if it meant atoning for what I did." Xavier gave a hollow laugh. "That’s exactly where the fantasy lies, Mommy. I want every single day to be a ticking time bomb for you." He patted Elara’s shoulder, then squeezed it hard before turning to leave. "Get some rest, Mommy. Tomorrow is going to be a very long day for you." To be continued...

But instead of letting myself suffer even more, I try to make myself distracted when I'm out of the house. Yuji was the best distraction I could resort to. He was the only one I ever felt warm, with him I feel like I'm with a family. My moms' relationship with that man lasted for a few more years, but those few years felt so long and scary. And so, the time I spent with Yuji grew more because he's the only one I rely on to feel okay. There was even that one time that I got myself exposed… "…hmm." I was staring at Yuji while he's watching some movie we picked. It was the very first time that it had crossed my mind.

Inilipat ni Elllie ang kanyang timbang sa kaliwa ng bench. Isang pulgada na lang. Oo, ngayon ay mahuhuli na niya ang lahat ng mga salita na sinasabi ng dalawang ina. “I swear to you, Susan, kung kaya ko, ako na mismo ang kukuha ng trabaho bilang yaya na iyon. Si Tyler Hernandez ang pinakaHOT na single dad sa buong paaralan. At saka, mayaman siya." Ang babaeng may pixie-cut at dreamy na mga mata ay parang hihimatayin pa ata.

To make them happy, “Thank you sweetie…you'll see. Ricardo Romero is a good man, he'll take care of you. The entire family is good to us,” her mom remarked with a smile and cupped her face lightly as if afraid she might ruin my makeup. My eyes lowered to her touch, feeling her warmth for the last time. I nodded and a bit back tears, forgetting my dreams. I had to forget 22 years of being a virgin and waiting for the right man to marry. Forget everything because I was getting married to someone didn't love.
