Introduction
Will their love-hate relationship lead to a deeper connection, or will it keep them forever bound by the terms of their contract?
As I spank her, Grace questions in a surprised tone, "What was that?"
"That was for leaving your husband alone in the pool," I respond in a teasing tone, seizing her waist and pulling her towards me, stealing her breath.
"But, my dear husband, you're pissing me off. Just move away." She tries to break free from my grasp.
"Stop moving, Mrs Grey!"
"No, I won't listen to you, Mr Grey. You told me you don't want me, so why are you here again?"
"I didn't say that I don't want you," I whisper, closing the distance between us, my lips nearing my angry wife's.
"It means the same!" She rolls her eyes.
"I want you so damn much, okay? And I'm ready to regret it again and again for doing this. Today, I'll show you how much I desire you, my wife." I confess, my fingers playing with her wet hair, and my hand still firmly gripping her waist.
"So tell me. Who is stopping you, husband?"
Chapter 1
Steve’s P.O.V.
I’m Steve Grey, a billionaire who has everything in his life except a life partner. I have a fashion company, and my days are filled with the hustle and bustle of the business world. Despite the success and wealth, there’s a void that only love can fill.
My father wants me to get married soon. He has given me two months to find the girl of my choice, and today is the last day, and still I haven’t found her. Now I have to marry my father’s choice because I just can’t argue with him. For me, my father is everything.
I’m seated at the bar counter with a glass of drink in my hand, and with my two friends, Mike and Jace.
“Steve, look around, there are so many sexy girls. Have sex with them and relax your mind,” Mike suggests, resting his hand on my shoulder.
“You know I’m not that type of man. I’ll have sex with a girl with whom I fall in love.” I respond, looking up at him from the glass of drink.
“You have such an old-fashioned mindset, Steve. You can have fun with girls sometimes. Come on.” Mike remarks.
Jace intervenes, “Mike, let Steve make his own choices. If he wants to wait for love, then let him.”
I’m glad that he respects my values.
“Call me old-fashioned, but I believe in the power of love and the importance of finding a soulmate.” I answer Mike with honesty.
He steps down from the bar stool. “Fine! I’m going to have fun with the girls. You stay here forever with your old-fashioned thinking.”
“I’m coming with you.” Jace also climbs down from the stool. “We’ll see you soon.”
Then they both go to the dance floor, leaving me alone.
As I take a sip of my drink, I think about my father. He has always been there for me, guiding and supporting me in every aspect of life. I owe him everything, and the thought of disappointing him is unbearable.
If I want or not, I have to marry the girl of his choice for him.
I look around the bar, observing the crowd and people lost in their worlds.
Then only my eyes stop at a woman, dancing freely. She moves with grace and confidence. There’s something about her that draws me in, a magnetic pull that I can’t ignore. As she dances, I watch her, admiring her beauty.
She looks so breathtaking in a black dress. The fabric hugs her curves in all the right places, highlighting her elegance.
As my gaze travels upward, I see her long brown hair cascading down in loose waves, adding to her beauty. And I’m captivated by the way her eyes gleam with confidence.
As she notices me checking her out, she stops dancing and walks over to me while I keep my intense gaze fixed on her. She grabs her drink, taking a seat beside me.
“Is your plan to just check me out?” She asks in her husky and low voice, taking my breath away.
As I hold the leg of her chair, my hand brushes against her bare thighs.
“You’re the first girl who has ever caught my attention.” I whisper after pulling the chair towards me and moving closer to her face. There is some kind of magic in her brown eyes.
“Just cut the crap and tell me, your place or my place?” She asks me directly.
Her boldness surprises me, and for a moment, I’m left speechless, feeling a rush of heat coursing through my veins. The straightforwardness in her approach awakens something within me, a desire that I hadn’t anticipated.
The magnetic pull intensifies, and I draw towards her in a way I hadn’t expected when I entered the bar.
“Right now, right here.” I answer and then capture her lips, cupping her face.
As our lips meet, a surge of electricity courses through my body. The intensity of the kiss deepens as we lose ourselves in each other.
The taste of her soft lips intoxicates me, and I run my fingers through her silky hair, pulling her closer to me.
I don’t even remember when the last time I kissed someone in my life.
The kiss is electric, full of passion and desire. I just want her right now.
I’m shocked by my actions. Just a few minutes ago, I wasn’t ready to spend a night with a girl, and now I’m all ready to claim the woman I’m kissing.
Little did I know this encounter might just be the twist in my life that I needed.
We reach a vacant room of the club, devouring each other’s lips and roaming our hands all over each other’s bodies. It seems as if this woman has hypnotised me. I have lost all the control over myself.
She takes off my blazer and unbuttons my shirt, kissing my lips. Then she pushes me onto the bed and comes over to me. I close my eyes and a moan escapes my lips as she caresses and kisses my chest.
Fuck! Her touch is so magical. I’m so aroused.
She again captures my lips for another passionate kiss and grinds herself against my bulge. I squeeze her hips and vigorously move her against me.
It’s unbelievable that I’m doing this, but it feels so good. I feel a strong connection with her beyond this physical desire.
She sits on me, and I stare at her in amazement as she sexily takes off her dress and hurls it in the room’s corner.
Soon she lies under me naked, and I ram into her, pinning her hands on the mattress.
It feels so fucking good! The feeling can’t be described in words. The pleasure and satisfaction this encounter is giving me is inexpressible.
Is she the one whom I have been finding for so long? Or it is just a temporary feeling?
I watch her as she sleeps peacefully beside me, her delicate features illuminated by the soft moonlight coming through the curtains.
It’s not that I haven’t encountered a girl prettier than her before, but there’s something about her that captivates me like no one else ever has. This is the first time I find myself unable to tear my gaze away from her.
With a tender touch, I move my hand closer to her face and gently tuck a few stray strands of hair behind her ear, revelling in the intimacy of this simple act. A smile naturally forms on my face.
As I continue to watch her, I feel grateful to find someone who not only captures my attention but also touches my heart in ways I never thought possible.
I don’t come to know when I fall asleep admiring her exquisite features.

Iron And Glamour Just Don't Mix
Well… Sometimes you just might turn out to be right.
It turns out, the fae stole my little brother. In his place? A pixie with boundary issues and a talent for home repairs.
I’ve spent my life taking care of everyone else. So when my baby brother is taken, I don’t hesitate. I walk straight into a faerie mansion and make a bargain with its infuriatingly charming master.
Kie is everything you’d expect from a dangerous fae, beautiful, political, and entirely too amused by me. Power wrapped in a smirk. Sensual, mischievous, and far too aware of the effect he has on people. He agrees to help me find my brother.
For a price.
Now I’m bound by a faerie bargain and navigating a world of glamour, manipulation, and ancient rules I definitely should have learned sooner, enchanted forests, political games, magical contracts, and a fae lord who treats seduction like a perfectly reasonable negotiation tactic.
Iron is how I keep people out.
Glamour is how he draws them in.
And apparently, they just don’t mix.

He has an offer that binds us tighter than ever. Protection… or a cage? Whispers turn ugly, darkness closes in. Why am I the one without a wolf? Is he my salvation… or will he drag me to ruin?
Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.
The New Girl and the Broken Basketball Star
After years of feeling unwanted by the father who should have protected her, Clara is finally forced to leave the only home she has ever known. Her stepmother’s pregnancy only makes it easier for her family to let her go.
With nothing but her mother’s old violin, she arrives in a small Pennsylvania town carrying the fear that she will never truly belong anywhere.
The last thing she expects is Adrian Cole.
Once the town’s basketball star, Adrian gave up his dreams after his father disappeared and left him with debts he never should have carried. Now he spends his days repairing cars, avoiding the court, and pretending he doesn’t want anything more from life.
Clara thinks she is too broken to be loved.
Adrian thinks his future is already over.
But somewhere between physics lessons, late nights at the repair shop, and a forgotten small-town high school, two lonely people begin to find something they both thought they had lost forever:
A reason to stay.
✦ ✦ ✦
A tough exterior with a soft heart x A soft exterior with a strong heart
✦ ✦ ✦
The first half is set in high school, and the second half is set during their college years. Hope you enjoy the journey!
This is a slow-paced story, focused more on emotions, healing, and the small moments in life rather than intense action or dramatic twists.
If you find any mistakes while reading, please feel free to leave a comment. I’ll be happy to correct them.
I hope ordinary Clara, ordinary Adrian, and all of us ordinary people can find the happiness we deserve.

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.
