Femdom one-shot: Don't Touch My Toy

Lyra May

Ana loves being in control, and tonight, she’s making the rules. Her submissive partner, Nick, has one simple challenge—keep his hands off her toy, and she’ll grant him anything he desires. But when a new woman enters their bed, temptation burns hot. Will Nick hold firm, or will his restraint crumble under Ana’s watchful gaze? This sizzling femdom one-shot is a game of dominance, submission, and impossible temptation.

Love Me Not

Vivienne Wren

Sidra doesn’t move to Australia expecting her world to spin off its axis—but one reckless, breath-stealing moment with a maddeningly gorgeous local sets her on fire. Isaac is temptation in human form: brooding, beautiful, and determined to push her away, even as sparks fly between them. His touch hums with danger, his gaze smolders with want, yet shadows cling to him like smoke. Sidra knows there’s more to him than the walls he builds—and when she uncovers the secret he’s hiding, it collides with her own grief in ways she never saw coming. Desire this raw can heal or destroy. And when love is built on scars, it might burn hotter than either of them can survive.

Can love survive when the truth changes everything?

My friends told me to give him a chance, but I knew he’d take one look at my curvy body and come up with a reason not to go out again. So, I gave him an out. He didn’t take it. The man was relentless. He liked my curves, and he wanted more than just phone calls. He wanted me. How could I say no to that?

I couldn’t believe I was in the boxing ring with the head coach of my dad's gym. Leo was over a decade older and completely off-limits.
