Conservative

No small lives

Even seemingly quiet lives hold deep, dramatic stories Adelani has always been the kind of woman people overlook-a quiet, conservative church girl, dutiful and measured. But beneath her composed exterior lies a woman shaped by displacement, heartbreak, and a hidden wild streak she dares not name. After years of moving between cities in Nigeria, she has finally settled in Norwich, UK, where she is still finding her footing. Yet, home is a slippery thing when you carry the weight of expectation on your shoulders. When her paths crossed again with Alexander an older, professor from her time in university - her world tilts. He is unlike anyone she expected to love, and their attraction is immediate, undeniable. But love is never simple, especially when ghosts of the past refuse to be buried. A familiar name reappears-Dayo, the Nigerian ex who once shattered her trust. And with it, a triangle of longing, loyalty, and unresolved history begins to take shape. As Adelani navigates love, family, and the cultural pressures of being a Nigerian woman who dares to want something different, she harbors a truth that defies expectation: she does not want children. It is a choice that shocks those around her-a quiet rebellion against tradition, against the life that was supposed to be hers. But the past has its own way of creeping back, and when a secret side of her life comes to light, everything she has carefully built is at risk of unraveling. Bold yet intimate, *No Small Lives* is a deeply personal exploration of identity, love, and the quiet revolutions that shape us. Because even the quietest lives carry storms within them-and no life is ever truly small.

A Hot Romance: Ariana's story

Ariana had been struggling with her smut novel lately. Her readers had found out her weakness- that she was a virgin with no experience in dating. To overcome her struggle and gain inspiration, she decided to rent a 'little white face' to 'experiment' and study a man's anatomy and physiological reactions. But there was a mistake halfway. She ended up meeting an 'impotent' man who had similar struggles as her, instead of a sultry little white face. **** Cale's body was numbed. He could not lift a finger, but he felt hot all over. The body part that could not rise even in front of a seductive woman was standing little by little. The woman who 'drugged' him approached him with a whip in her hand. She wore a very conservative outfit and looked like she was attending a funeral. Her small face was covered with a veiled black hat. "As I requested, we will perform a BDSM play. It will hurt a bit. I am still inexperienced, but I will provide enough compensation after this task." Cale: "....?" What request? He had never received a request! Ariana could see the horror in Cale's eyes. She tilted her head in wonder. Mr. Flowerboy had previously claimed in the chat he liked BDSM play. Had he entered his role immediately? Amazing. As expected of a pro. Ariana tried to make her expression seem like a dominant master to match Mr. Flowerboy's professionalism. She had to show him that she was serious about it too. "Let's start, Mr. Flowerboy." Cale: !!! Who was the flowerboy?! I am not him! ..... A few weeks later. Instead of reporting the woman who 'drugged' him to the police, Cale shamefully looked for her again for a second session. Ariana: "Why do you want to be tied up and spanked again? Could it be... you are really a masochist?" Cale: ".....I have no choice either." How could he explain that his 'thing' would only work when this woman touched him?
