Chapter 1 CHANCE ENCOUNTER

Ava hurried down the busy city street, her high heels clacking against the pavement. She was running late for a meeting with a potential client, and the last thing she needed was to make a bad impression. She checked her watch for the umpteenth time, knowing she had only a few minutes left. She hated being late, but there was nothing she could do about it now. As she approached the intersection, the light turned red, and she stopped, breathing heavily. She looked around, taking in her surroundings, and that's when she saw him.

He was standing on the corner, holding a guitar case in one hand and a cup in the other. He looked up and caught her eye, and she felt a jolt of electricity run through her. He was tall and lean, with shaggy brown hair that fell into his eyes. He had a crooked smile on his face, and his eyes sparkled with mischief. Ava felt her cheeks flush as she realized she had been staring at him for too long. She quickly looked away and pretended to check her phone. The light turned green, and she started to walk, but she couldn't shake the feeling that he was watching her. She turned back and saw that he was still looking at her, his eyes following her as she walked away. She couldn't explain it, but something about him intrigued her. She felt drawn to him, as if she was meant to meet him. Shaking her head, she pushed the thought away and focused on her meeting. She couldn't afford to get distracted now. Later that evening, Ava was sitting in her office, going over the day's events. She had landed the new client, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing. As she stared out the window, she thought back to the man she had seen on the street corner. She wondered who he was and what he was doing there. She picked up her phone and typed a quick search. Within seconds, she had a list of local musicians, and she started scrolling through them. It wasn't long before she found him. His name was Ethan, and he was a singer-songwriter who played at a local bar on the weekends. Ava couldn't explain why, but she felt compelled to go see him play. She knew it was a long shot, but she couldn't shake the feeling that she needed to meet him. The following Friday, Ava found herself standing outside the bar where Ethan was playing. She felt nervous and out of place, but she was determined to see him. As she stepped inside, the sound of music washed over her, and she saw Ethan on stage, playing his guitar and singing a song she didn't recognize. His voice was deep and soulful, and she found herself getting lost in the music. As he finished the song, he looked up and caught her eye, and she felt a thrill run through her. He smiled at her, and she felt her cheeks flush. After the set was over, she made her way to the stage, feeling like a teenager with a crush. She didn't know what to say or how to act, but she knew she had to talk to him. "Hi, I'm Ava," she said, extending her hand. "Ethan," he replied, taking her hand in his. His touch sent a shiver down her spine, and she felt her heart skip a beat. They talked for a few minutes, and Ava found herself getting lost in his stories. He had a carefree spirit and a passion for music that was contagious. As they talked, Ava couldn't shake the feeling that she was exactly where she was meant to be. She had come to see Ethan play, but she come.

Over the next few weeks, Ava and Ethan saw each other more frequently. They went to concerts, tried new restaurants, and took walks in the park. Ava had never felt so alive. Ethan brought out a side of her that she didn't know existed. She laughed more, felt more, and lived more than she ever had before. As they got to know each other, Ava discovered that Ethan was more than just a musician. He was also an artist and a poet. He had a way with words that made her heart sing. One evening, they sat on the rooftop of Ethan's apartment building, watching the sun set over the city. He recited one of his poems to her, and she felt tears well up in her eyes. "You're so talented," she said, looking at him with admiration. Ethan smiled at her. "I'm just doing what I love. And you're amazing too, Ava. You're so driven and successful." Ava felt a pang of guilt. She had always prided herself on her career, but lately, it didn't seem as important as it used to. "Ethan, I have to tell you something," she said, looking down at her hands. "What is it?" he asked, his eyes searching hers. "I've been thinking a lot about my job lately. I love what I do, but I feel like something is missing. Being with you has made me realize that there's more to life than just work." Ethan took her hand in his. "I know how you feel. I used to think that all I needed was my music, but being with you has shown me that there's more to life than that." They sat in silence for a moment, watching the sun dip below the horizon. Ava felt a sense of peace wash over her, knowing that she had found someone who understood her. As their relationship grew, Ava and Ethan faced several challenges. They came from different worlds and had different priorities, but they were determined to make it work. One evening, Ava had to cancel their plans because of a last-minute work emergency. She felt terrible for letting him down, but she knew she had no choice. Ethan was understanding, but Ava could tell he was disappointed. She made a mental note to make it up to him. The next day, she surprised him with tickets to a concert he had been wanting to go to for months. He was ecstatic, and Ava felt a sense of satisfaction knowing that she had made him happy. As they sat in the concert hall, listening to the music, Ava felt Ethan's hand in hers. She looked over at him and saw the way his eyes sparkled with joy. She knew that this was where she belonged, with him, in this moment. A few months into their relationship, Ava's company offered her a promotion that would require her to move to a different city. She was torn between her career and her relationship with Ethan. She knew that if she took the promotion, it would mean a long-distance relationship with Ethan. They had talked about it, and they both knew it wouldn't be easy. Ava sat down with Ethan to discuss it. "I don't know what to do," she said, looking at him with tears in her eyes. Ethan took her hand. "I want you to do what's best for you, Ava. Your career is important, and I don't want to hold you back." Ava felt a wave of relief wash over her. She had been afraid that Ethan would resent her if she took the promotion. "But I don't want to lose you," she said, looking at him with pleading eyes. Ethan smiled at her. "You won't.

MY MASTERS

MY MASTERS

Mercy Kay
4.9

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
