Jo-Pil, ahem, I mean, I was just a simple sales manager who was more than satisfied with my way of living, thank you very much. But my simple way of living came crashing down like the heavy materials I was counting on my night shift, crushed me and my simple life, and then landed me in a novel I had read back when I was still a Freshman at university. And to make it all worse, it just happened to be the kind of novel that readers would wish to get into and crack the skull of the various sadistic love interests as well as the stubborn main character who just didn't know when to sit still. Ugh. But what was even worse than that was the fact that I, Jo-Pil, had become the freaking main character. Yeah, you got that right. I was the poor, hopeless Omega whose role in the novel was to be a weak, helpless, yet stubborn guy who was sold for his huge debt, bought by four powerful Alphas in order to become a breeding machine. They might as well make me their baby mama while they were at it, don't you think? But there was no way I was going to live up to that role. Seriously, why resist being showered with the luxury of life and getting hurt when I could just give them a little neck massage, say a few sweet words to compliment them, and then lie on my back with sun shades on and juice in hand, relaxing for the rest of my life? Maybe it's not as easy as it sounds but I could make it work. I was sure I could. With four powerful Alphas ruling the country at my mercy, I could do anything. But... Were they really at my mercy, though? I mean, I was the one whose huge debt got paid off, right? Welp, maybe I was getting a little over my head. What to do?

[BL] [Alpha x Alpha] After the First Apocalyptic War finally ended, Mattias Kohler thought he could return to America and live out his days as an unmated alpha in peace. Being a child soldier left him with more scars and baggage than he cared to admit, but for a while, living in this superheroes’ version of a ‘new world’ wasn't so bad. He'd even managed to stave off the deadly consequences of the war for a solid twenty years. Despite everything, the shell shocked veteran made peace with the last of his ghosts. Or so he thought, were it not for one rude-ass awakening. When his biggest failure and the rightful king of his ghosts shows back up out of the blue—very much alive and kicking—Matt finds himself kidnapped and dragged back into a cold war against his will. What's worse, this particular ghost has deep ties to Mattias’ past, and the fact that he's still alive is an absolute stain on Matt's ledger. His initial goal is just to get the hell out of this mess and kill as many Russians as he can in the process, but as time goes by, he realizes something isn't right with the King of Ghosts. The other alpha’s past betrayal may not be everything it seems, and the more Matt learns about this dark world his old-friend-turned-traitor steeped himself in for all these years, the less he understands. Not to mention the fact that he'd been forced to get off his scent blockers and rut suppressants all at once; fuck if he knows why that filthy traitor smells so damn good, but he does. It's wrong. They're both alphas. Matt is also painfully aware that alpha on alpha relations are illegal in most countries. But he's hard, pissed off and has no idea whether he's in for a fight or a fuck. Either way, they dragged him back into this, and now he's going to finish it.

"You fucking kidding me?!" what was wrong with him? He looked mad than usual. His hair was falling on the left side of his face as he fumed in anger. I felt alarmed and started moving back till I hit the headboard. "Lying to everyone so you seem cool?!" His eyes were a different shade of green I'd never seen before. "Yo bro.

DEAR MIA THEME: HER BABIES DADDY __________________________________ (. . Tales of a homeless girl, she was thrown out of her home because of her best friend who is now her step-mom . .) ___________________________________ (. . My dear Mia, you were hurt because of me I'll hurt those who hurt you . .) ___________________________________ By Kit’s Library Don't copy or report WARNING: This book is extremely steamy, if you're patient enough to get to where it all starts. ~~~~~~~ #Unedited ___________________________________ PROLOGUE _____________ The rain fell like heaven was mourning her story. Mia stood at the edge of the driveway, soaked to the skin, her fingers trembling as she clutched the small duffel bag that held what was left of her world. Her once-best friend—Naomi—stood by the door, her expression smug as she watched Mia's shattered form disappear into the storm. Naomi had done the unthinkable—seduced Mia’s father, married him, and now claimed both her home and her dignity. "You're not welcome here anymore," Naomi had hissed hours earlier, her younger sister Julia giggling in the background like a vulture circling its prey. Mia didn’t argue. She didn’t beg. She just left. But she wasn’t just broken… she was pregnant. One night. One careless, electric night. That’s all it had been. The face of the man who fathered her child remained a blur in her memory, but the impact of their encounter would last forever. She didn’t even know his name. Just his scent. His rough hands. His piercing green eyes. She wandered the streets until her legs gave out and she collapsed on a park bench. The cold bit into her bones. She was seconds away from giving up when a voice called out—a woman's voice. Warm. Rich. Kind. "Are you alright, sweetheart?" Mia looked up and saw a woman dressed in silk and cashmere, stepping out of a Rolls Royce like a guardian angel in heels. Her name was Indigo Vance, and she didn’t hesitate to open her arms—and her home—to the fragile, pregnant stranger before her. Months passed. Mia thrived. And when she gave birth to twins—Florish and Oliver—with stormy green eyes and that same mysterious charm, Indigo only smiled knowingly. Meanwhile, in a sleek glass tower in Manhattan, billionaire Shade Vance ran the most powerful company in New York with an iron fist. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. But all of that changed the moment he saw a pregnant woman in the mall one afternoon. Their eyes met. Something shifted. A memory flickered. He didn’t know her. But somehow… she felt like home. When Mia was finally ready to work, Indigo offered her a position at Vance Corp—as Shade’s personal secretary. And that was when everything began again. Secrets. Sparks. Seduction. But it wouldn’t be easy. Because Julia—the bitter, beautiful ex who once broke Shade’s heart—is back. And this time, she’s determined to destroy anything in her way… including Mia. But Mia isn’t alone anymore. She has her children. She has Indigo. And soon, she’ll have her revenge, her love… and her name back. Because this is not just Mia’s story. This is her reckoning. Do you think Julia Mia's step sister would win back her ex boyfriend's heart? What about Mia's children? Ha! Interesting right? You don't wanna miss out so grab you popcorn cos this will be a ride you will never forget. ___________________________________ « TBC » ___________________________________ Like, Comment and share.

Until one night, he woke up in a body that wasn’t his. Now, he was trapped in the body of a forgotten character from a novel he could barely remember. And worst of all? This body could not die.

ruben_boneth Immortal Verdant Sovereign> Enter a lush, ancient world of cultivation, where the pursuit of immortality is paramount, yet the path to true power takes a decidedly… unconventional turn. Reborn as a young master of the Chen family, Alex finds himself blessed – or perhaps cursed – with the Verdant Venerable Immortal System. This unique system doesn't just offer the usual path to strength; it thrives on the subtle art of manipulation, the exquisite thrill of shared intimacy he orchestrates, and the darkly satisfying pleasure of observing desires unfold under his careful guidance. Meet his personal maid, a seemingly innocent loli with a petite upper frame contrasting with a surprisingly voluptuous and responsive backside. She is but the first piece in Alex's intricate game, her unwitting participation a key to unlocking greater power and deeper understanding of the verdant energies that flow through this world. Prepare to delve into a narrative where the traditional tenets of cultivation are twisted and intertwined with taboo desires. This is a world where #cuckload dynamics play out in secret shadows, where manipulation is a refined art form, and the thrill of #voyeurism offers a unique pathway to power. While the surface may shimmer with the promise of immortal ascendance, beneath lies a tapestry of hidden affections, carefully crafted scenarios, and the undeniable allure of watching boundaries blur. Expect to encounter characters exploring the complexities of desire, where consent may be a shifting landscape and the line between pleasure and humiliation becomes tantalizingly thin. You will find hints of various fetishes, a world where traditional cultivation is merely a backdrop for more intimate and unconventional pursuits. A Word to the Reader: Before you venture further, be warned: this novel delves into themes that may be considered provocative and unconventional. If concepts such as cuckload, manipulation, or voyeurism are not to your taste, we kindly suggest this story may not be for you. However, if you are intrigued by the darker shades of desire and the intricate dance of power, then step into the world of the Verdant Sovereign. Every reader has the right to choose their stories, and every author the freedom to write them. Proceed with an open mind and understand the nature of the content that lies ahead.
