If only it was an Illusion! by Aafrynn

"you're no one to me", his words echoed in my ears but what was it all when he kissed me; merely an illusion? It felt so real and lively. "...and just so you know, you're not allowed to leave this job until or before 6 months", he flung the contract papers in the air. I had signed the papers, the terms and conditions clearly meant that I was supposed to work for his company and had no right to leave it until his consent. "Leave my cabin for now", he ordered as he turned behind. ********** Amanda Waters is your typical College student who happens to face a lot of financial difficulties and as a result, is made to earn a living. She's blunt, She's sensitive but she is also accompanied by two of her best friends in this story: Gina Sullivan and Francis Rutherfold. The enterprise which she works in is different, very different. In fact, the 'CEO' is not just another Happy go lucky male lead of the company. Aaron Reynolds- Rude, Arrogant, Harsh, and Stubborn.

Less Than Nothing by adoringscripts

"What are we doing Alex?" He breathes against my lips. That's too sensible of a question, so I ignore it. My brain has yet to return to my body, and right now that is the last thing I'm worried about. "Stay." I whisper against his mouth, my words flowing without any thought. "Stay?" He sits up fully, which results in me straddling him. His expression is full of curiosity and mild shock. "Like stay stay?" I don't respond with words. I'm afraid if I open my mouth, I'll start to overthink and I can't afford that. Instead, I pull my shirt over my head. I do it confidently, in spite of my boldness starting to dissipate as the seconds pass. Ryan swallows. His eyes trail down to my breasts, before he looks at me again with a look I can't name. "Are you sure?" He stares into me. "Promise me you're sure." "I'm sure." I tell him softly. "I promise." ******* ALEXANDRA MONET is a twenty two year old girl, freshly out of college.

None of which could prepare her for RYAN RUSSO...the snarky, sarcastic boy who she'll soon find herself thinking about constantly. As much as the two think they can't stand each other, there's an underlying attraction that eventually grows too strong for either them to bare. So they make an agreement...

Less than nothing, but unfortunately some things just don't go as planned. Warning: Mature scenes and language.

ECHO OF US by inkwellsouls

Aissatou Keita, an emerging and highly sought-after model, is rapidly becoming a household name in the fashion industry. Known for her stunning looks and strong presence on the runway, she has made a name for herself, but the pressure of maintaining her public persona is wearing on her. Behind the glitz and glamour, Aissatou is searching for something more - something real and lasting in a world that often feels fake. Grayson Cho, a talented yet reclusive photographer known for capturing raw and intimate moments, is hired for a high-profile photoshoot featuring Aissatou. Grayson is widely regarded in the celebrity world for his unique, emotionally charged photographs, which have graced the covers of numerous magazines and ad campaigns. Despite his fame, he's not interested in the superficial side of the industry and prefers to keep a low profile, focusing instead on the art of his craft. When Aissatou and Grayson first meet on set, there's an undeniable spark, but both are hesitant to explore it.

As they work together on more projects, their connection deepens. Grayson sees beyond Aissatou's beauty, recognizing the vulnerability and strength that lie within her. Aissatou begins to see Grayson as more than just a photographer; his quiet confidence and artistic soul captivate her. However, navigating a relationship in the spotlight isn't easy. They must contend with the pressures of their careers, the expectations of their public personas, and the distance that fame can create. As the two grow closer, they are forced to confront their fears - of love, of trust, and of the expectations that come with being in the public eye. Can they carve out a space for themselves amidst the chaos of their careers, or will their love be yet another fleeting moment in their lives?
