Teddy Bear Melanie Martinez Slowed

Melanie Collins was the perfect wife—caring, strong, and dependable. For the last few years, she had managed her husband’s messy family, and business alone while waiting for her husband to return from studying abroad. But when he finally came back, Melanie’s world fell apart—he wasn’t alone. Along with him was his 'best' friend. Broken and confused about the change in her husband, Melanie didn’t know where to turn. And then she stumbled into another cold reality. Everything she had believed was a lie. Seething with anger and humiliation, as she tried to come to terms with the betrayal, an unexpected person steps into the picture, intent on seducing her and conquering her. The only problem? The man was her ex brother in law... And against her better judgment, she is attracted to this bad boy... But as Melanie tried to make sense of the changes, she discovered there was more going on than she ever imagined. Had both brothers loved really fallen in love with her? Or was she just a pawn in a bigger game? excerpt Since he had already been leaning against the table, he simply slid onto it, and with one swift motion, he hooked his boot around the leg of her chair and pulled it—pulled her—closer.The sudden movement made her jolt slightly, and when she looked up or rather when she looked ahead, she found herself staring directly at the zipper of his jeans... She looked up then and met his gaze. He caught her chin," Would you like to check if I am only pretending, sweet melon?"Melanie stiffened. And then pushed back her chair suddenly, so that Adam almost lost his balance, as she stood up. Before he could balance himself, she placed her hand on his shoulder, her fingers brushing against his neck.  Adam stiffened, his eyes glittering as he waited to see what she would do next. And she, of course surprised him as her other hand, slowly settled on the inside of his thigh. And then, the hand on his shoulder started to move. Her fingers tracing the side of his neck before lifting as she shot a glance to the corner of his mouth. The little piece of metal glinting there. She flicked at it lightly, barely a touch, but Adam could feel the heat all over his body, as she leaned in close, her lips barely a few centimetres away...so that they could both feel each other's breaths… She smiled slowly then. "Careful, Adam," she murmured, her voice playful, but carrying the unmistakable edge of a challenge. "Keep pushing, and I just might call your bluff."

Without wealthy parents or a mysterious inheritance from her grandfather, she has had to work tirelessly to fulfill her dreams of wine in the weekend, fishing on the yatch on summer, skiing by winter, and touring a vineyard in fall. Her relentless focus on her career has come at the expense of her relationships, with most of her past girlfriends either cheating on her or leaving due to her constant neglect. Sienna's go-to response when relationships end is, "What else do they need?" - she simply doesn't understand why her past partners couldn't be satisfied with her providing for their material needs. Seeking an escape, Sienna immerses herself in a video game called 'Vintage Point', where the protagonist, male/female, inherits their grandfather's vineyard and creamery. Through the use of cheating codes she got from the game community, Sienna amasses unlimited wealth and the ability to have multiple wives in the game - living out her dream life virtually.

Disoriented and unsure of what is happening, "What is happening?"

She moved into a new city trying to forget the inexplicable incident that happened with her. Little did she know that she can never escape from it because the devil will always find her. No matter how hard she tries to get away from him. He was meant to be her medicine but he turned out to be a Slow Poison. ——————————— I hear his voice bringing me back from the daze as he growls in between the kisses. “ You have no idea how dangerous it can be…” He says with his lips going down to the area just above my breast, he sucks in desperately, squeezing my ass gently, making me whimper in bliss. I clutch to his shirt, trying to hold my body from collapsing. “Careful…you are messing with the devil, Cole.” He doesn’t let me breathe for a minute as he starts attaching me with his open-mouthed kisses all the way back. Rapture succumbs me as I feel his lips again on my neck, traveling higher. I breathed heavily, unable to maintain my composure while being acquainted with this unfamiliar sensation. His lips reached my ear as he gently nibbles my earlobe. “You know why people call me the devil?” His breath fanning over my ear. “It’s not because I am a sinner.” His harsh breath comes out in pants, showing me how equally he is affected as he continues. “It’s because I am capable of making innocent people commit sins.”

How much do we really know those who are always around us? what if it seems a lot but is close to nothing. Are things as they always seem or the privilege of perception has blinded us to only see what we want to see.

to put it simply here is when to know charcaters are thinking. `Here` and when speaking "Yo" but you probably know that ngl. Anyway Have a good day but I won't spoil but basically people get transported and now we are with the story. also story is slow as this is my first time writing so bear with me.

(Find the full book on already on RoyalRoad!) The gods make mistakes, and she is the greatest of them all. Can this accidentally chosen one save the world from herself? Ashtik Sai-Weleg is not a hero, nor is she a villain. She's nothing but a simple huntress with some mild social anxiety. That is all she has ever been, and that is all she ever wanted to be. Then an old and long-since forgotten god decided to put into action, his ancient and foretold prophecy. If all goes to plan, his holy Champion would have been there to save the world. Only... it did not go to plan. Instead of the chosen one, his divine mark has been violently attached to Ashtik, and now the whole world stands on the edge. Can she unite the world? Can she forge an alliance to battle the apocalypse? Can she remain on the side of good when all evil actions seem to save so many more lives? Probably not, but it might be fun to see how she gets along. The world either thinks her a chosen one or a wicked lying heretic, only she knows that the truth isn't nearly that simple. A rise to the top tale, featuring themes of imposter syndrome, addiction and (found)family bonds. Warning; Ashtik isn't a superhero. Punches hurt like hell, and she gets her ass kicked a fair amount. This isn't a power fantasy, its a tragedy.

In The Shadows' Burden: The one Who Bears All, the story follows Umbra, an enigmatic and immensely powerful god known for his boundless love and unshakable will. As the strongest among the gods, Umbra stands apart, choosing not to wield his power for harm, which earns him the deep love and loyalty of the people. This adoration, combined with the unwavering support of the Shadows—his devoted followers—fuels the envy and resentment of other gods who feel threatened by his unbreakable will. Unable to tarnish Umbra's character directly, these jealous gods conspire to alter time itself, manipulating both past and future events to rewrite the truth of who Umbra truly is. They influence the very narration of his story, casting doubt on what is real and what is fabricated. As part of their scheme, they force Umbra into a relentless cycle of reincarnation, subjecting him to endless forms of suffering before each rebirth. Each life brings its own torment, compelling him to bear the weight of existence in all its forms. As we travel through Umbra's lives with him, we will encounter an array of overpowered characters, each with their own unique abilities and motivations. The veil of deception slowly lifts, revealing hidden truths and a complex past shaped by betrayal, love, and resilience. Ultimately, The Shadows' Burden becomes a powerful exploration of faith, truth, and the relentless pursuit of self-discovery amid a universe determined to hide it.
