Tonight was going to be interesting, to say the least. "Okay, let me try it." Ava held the shot glass a little awkwardly. Some punch she'd spilled earlier made her fingers a bit sticky. The tequila looked shiny under the party lights. She took a breath and tipped the glass back. The liquid burned going down. She coughed, her eyes watering. "Jeez! Is this what alcohol tastes like?" Helen, wearing a sparkly black dress, smiled. "Yeah, welcome to being grown up." She picked up the tequila bottle, the label a mix of gold and red. She nudged the bottle closer. "Have some more."

As kids growing up in poverty, we used what we have. My mind drifts to the evening ahead of me. Without thinking about it, I start digging through my purse. I pull out a shooter of vodka and slam it all at once. I keeping my eyes closed a few extra seconds just to fully experience the warmth of the liquid gliding down my throat and wait for it to calm me. I look over at my husband as he drives us through the city towards our destination. He isn’t a very handsome man. I met him when I was fifteen and homeless. He brought me in and gave me a place to live. Shortly after that. I was pregnant and he became my person. The only one who truly loved and cared about me. He was taller than me, but st

“Damage control starts right now. We deny everything if anyone asks. We say it is fake or edited. We cannot let this leak ruin what we built.” Tatum gripped the steering wheel tight, her knuckles turning white. Her green eyes showed real fear mixed with frustration. “You think I wanted this? That picture could end both our careers in one day. My family will be furious. They have pushed me for perfection since I was a child. One scandal and everything collapses. The Thunder, my reputation, all of it.” Her breathing came fast. Yet even in the middle of the panic, heat sparked between them. Sloane felt it deep in her core. The sight of Tatum in her tight jeans and fitted top stirred memories of

Sophia POV The living room felt charged with electricity, every shadow soft and intimate under the warm glow of the lamps. I stood near the large window, sipping my wine slowly, the black dress I’d chosen clinging to my body like a second skin. It hugged my breasts, accentuated my waist, and stopped mid-thigh. No bra. Just delicate black lace panties underneath. My nipples were already tight with anticipation. Ryan watched me from across the room, his eyes dark with a mixture of love, nerves, and raw desire.

I said wondering where this whole conversation was heading, "I want you to protect her," he said turning his phone screen to me, 'her'? my eyes slowly fell on the screen, a girl with her blonde hair packed in a ponytail sat with a pile of books by her side, she is obviously a nerd even her big round glasses say a lot, she looked fixated on whatever information she was getting from the book that even if an attack was to happen in the room right beside her she may not even know, but something about her made me feel there was more than what meets the eyes, "A girl really?" I asked in a bored tone,

WHISPERS IN THE KITCHEN The steam from the hot water rose in lazy curls around my hands as I scrubbed the breakfast dishes, the rough sponge scraping against the porcelain plates. My mind wandered back to the Alpha's chamber, to the way Thorne's massive cock had stretched me wide, pounding relentlessly until I shattered beneath him.

he interrupted, “You’re irrational. You’re dumb and you love to cause drama. I would never tell you where to find my daughter so you don’t cause problems for her or for me. I know you, Jasmine. I know the way you work.” The lump was back, ready to strangle me. I wondered just how much Charles knew about me. i drank the last of my now warm drink, “Thank you for wasting my time.” My family was filled with the most toxic people. I had no idea Amanda was an alcoholic. She came back at the dead of the night, staggering and yelling profanities at any who came close to her. Gardener Jared held unto her so she could be a bit steady. I watched from the comfort of my room, with a drink nestled between

I was walking towards the bathroom when I realized I didn't know where I was going so I looked around and found an empty office. Lady luck was finally on my side. I closed the door and flip on the light. The coffee has seeped through my shirt. I smell like a damn coffee house. Unbuttoning my blouse, I peeled it off. As I hold it out, coffee drips from the corner, puddling on the table. My bra is soaked too, so I decided to forgo the bra for today. I wasn't well endowed in that area and I prefer having my tits loose than me smelling like coffee throughout the day. I can go braless for just thirty minutes.

Holy. Lena closed the door, her hand skimming the edge as if shutting a holy vessel. She did not rush to turn off the lights. Rather, she walked between the shelves, letting her fingertips trace worn spines and whitened covers, breathing in the scent of paper and years. The bookstore was her sanctuary. Her cathedral.
