When Jesse Reid needs emergency surgery, he calls his neighbor to come pick him up instead of one of his many family members. As the youngest of nine, Jesse is used to feeling like a leftover, and he doesn’t need their coddling.<br><br>Holden McRae is a big, beautiful man, everything Jesse wants. But Holden has made it clear he doesn’t want Jesse as a submissive.<br><br>Under the influence of Holden’s care, Jesse becomes bolder and makes Holden see what he’s been missing. The two men’s interests line up, and the attraction that has always been there is something they can finally act on. As Jesse heals, he shares parts of his life with Holden, and Holden helps him see he’s so much more than #9. Their love might not be the most conventional, but maybe it’s exactly what both men need.

Chapter 1Chapter 1

1

The nurse left after giving me a sweet smile and telling me they’d be back shortly to prep me for surgery. I blew out an explosive breath, looked around the small room I’d been in since I’d entered the ED, then picked up my phone and called Holden.

He answered with nothing more than a grunt and it made me grin.

“So hey, funny story.”

Holden groaned. I fought not to laugh, but only because it would hurt.

“I had a little bit of pain, so I took a Lyft to the ED at St. Joes.” A “little bit of pain” was an understatement, but I didn’t want to sound too needy. It had been excruciating, and after the third time I’d thrown up within an hour, I figured it was time to get checked out.

Holden choked, and I wanted to tell him he should be careful when swallowing but that sounded too suggestive. Instead, I waited until he’d stopped coughing before continuing.

“And it turns out I need to have my gall bladder removed, like, um, right now. Because of a stone obstructing the duct.” I frowned. “At least I’m pretty sure that’s what they said.”

“Jesus, kid.” His voice did funny things to my insides, even if I was getting another wave of pain and he called me “kid.” Again. Even after I reminded him all the time that I definitely wasn’t a kid. I was twenty-nine, or would be in a few months on my birthday, and owned my own home. I wasn’t anywhere close to a child.

But I hurt so I let it slide. “So I’d appreciate it if you’d come here, and you know, bring me home afterward. It’s a quick procedure, the nurse said, and once I wake up and I can tolerate a drink or whatever, I can go home.”

Silence from the other end of the phone, but I could hear him breathing like a winded rhinoceros, so I knew he was still there. I stayed quiet and let him work out whatever was going through his head. I’d learned a long time ago that was the best way to get the sometimes-grumpy, always-dominant man to talk.

Holden and I shared a wall. He owned the other half of the duplex and he’d been kind and helpful when I’d moved in four years ago. I’d made a pass at him, he called me “kid” and told me to date someone my own age, and I’d kept my pining and desire hidden since. Well, as hidden as I could anyway. It was hard not to drool whenever I saw Holden McRae.

He was beautiful. Big and muscled, with wide shoulders and strong arms. He kept his dark hair shorn almost military-short, and his face clean-shaven. And the first time I saw him leave his house in leather pants and a harness strapped across his chest, I’d nearly passed out from the heat. Eventually I learned he was a Dom, but he ignored me when I said I was interested in learning about the lifestyle. That I was a submissive looking for a man to take charge. Nothing I could say would convince him, so I’d given up hope he’d ever scene with me. The truth was, I wassubmissive, and really didwant to learn. But when I’d tried to do it without Holden, it hadn’t felt right. So for the past four years, I’d been trying to forget that side of me.

It wouldn’t be ignored, but I couldn’t do anything about it.

But we’d become friends. Neighbors. We’d shared beers and coffee. Conversation in our shared backyard that we both worked to keep neat and appealing. He’d put in a pond on his half; I’d put in the patio. We didn’t share a lot, but we’d definitely gotten to a good place and I was more than happy I had his friendship.

Especially now.

“Jesse.” His voice broke into my thoughts and I gave him all my attention. Because that was his exasperated Dom voice, and whenever he used it, everything in me settled and I was one hundred percent focused on him. “Why did you call me instead of one of your eight-hundred family members?”

Because of that, right there. Because he called me “Jesse” and not “Nine,” and he actually saw me as a person instead of the baby of the family. He wasn’t kidding about having a large family. I had eight older siblings, so despite being nearly three decades old, they still treated me as if I were only three and couldn’t manage anything on my own. I loved them all to pieces, but they didn’t understand me, what I wanted, or my life. They tried and I gave them points for that. But it wasn’t enough.

From CEO to Concubine

Yan Zheyun was born and bred to be a winner. His parents were on the Forbes’ List, he was the valedictorian of his graduating class at the top university in the country, and the icing on the cake was being voted ‘school grass’ four years in a row by his peers. And now, at just twenty-five, Yan Zheyun was the proud chairman and CEO of his very own tech company. But what should have been the happiest day of his life turned into the worst when he heard a strange robotic voice while crossing the road for coffee, just because he couldn’t wait for his secretary to return from the photocopying room. [BUG REPORT #193842347: OTHERWORLD SOUL DETECTED. INITIATING DEPORTATION SEQUENCE.] And then he died. In a very boring, very run-of-the-mill car accident. …except maybe he didn’t. The first thing Yan Zheyun thought after he opened his eyes and found himself in a bedroom that looked like the set of one of those inner palace dramas was: Wow, coffee wasn’t worth it. The second thing he thought after he realised he was now in a historical BL novel and had transmigrated into the body of a tragic beauty who was (about to be) used and abused by his multiple lovers was: I must have opened my eyes with the wrong technique, let me try again…nope, still here. Well. F**k. From CEO to lowly slave, Yan Zheyun couldn’t believe his luck. Stuck in a foreign world and surrounded by crazy tops (respectively A.K.A ‘The Childhood Friend’, ‘The General’s Son’, ‘The Crown Prince’, ‘Some Other Prince’, ‘That Creepy Duke’ etc.), Yan Zheyun realised that his one day’s experience as CEO had not prepared him adequately for this new life of misery. But he wasn’t the sort to give up without a fight so…Yan Zheyun resolutely made up his mind to stay away from the terrifying romantic plot line, try and write himself a new political plot line, and while at it, hug some big thighs, curry some favour with the powerful. And in a dynastic monarchy, whose thighs would be a better choice for hugging than the emperor himself? Liu Yao: …This Sovereign permits you to hug other parts too. Pairing: - This-Sovereign-Looks-Stern-But-Is-Secretly-Kind!Emperor Top VS I-Look-Like-A-Rabbit-But-I’m-Secretly-A-Fox!Slave Bottom - NOT harem, entire story is 1v1 Warnings: - This novel deals with some heavy subject matter that arises as a result of slavery and a caste system. I have added trigger warnings where relevant but just a heads up, the scumbags are called scumbags for a reason! Updates: 21:00 GMT+8 Illustrated By: HAZHE

He was unwittingly transported into the very world depicted in "Their S-Class Affairs," an intense, hardcore and smut-ty BL manhua. The story that he was reading before his untimely demise. Suki, as the legendary nine-tailed fox, would have an easy and comfortable life if he possessed a body of a nameless extra.

However, fate proves harsh for a demon spirit like Suki as he unexpectedly becomes the omega husband of the enigmatic alpha and wild stallion ML, Bai Tingfeng. In the panels of the manhua, Bai Tingfeng harbors no affection for his vain and irresponsible husband. Suki, who now assumes the identity of the renowned model omega, Shen Yuan, knows this all too well. There's no way in hell that he can rely on the S-Class alpha's help in consolidating his new body. Since Suki can't acquire help, he doesn't want to be affected by whatever drama that the ML's halo would attract. Who would want to get all the trouble without reaping the benefits? No one. Shen Yuan/Suki decided to stand on the sidelines while munching popcorn, ready to watch the drama. Let Bai Tingfeng unleash his beastly nature and become the notorious f*ck boy in the city. Suki/Shen Yuan doesn't care about that. All his concern was to be separated from this difficult man! Will the husband and husband fall for each other? No one knows. Only the electronic billboard asking someone's WIFE for a coffee date would do the talk. #omegaverse #alphaxomega #MPREG #dungeons #magic #transmigration #powercouple #childraising #beast #nonhumanMC #supersmutBL #misunderstanding

BloodMoon: Captivated by the Forbidden Lycan Alpha

[Warning: Mature Content R18+] The taste of forbidden love is the sweetest agony!! They were fucking right. I, Frery Kane was whipped and captivated by a Lycan Shifter from the Bay Shifter pack in Paradise Bay. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, an irresistible pull I couldn’t deny. Alpha Tor Gale, a Lycan Shifter of unparalleled strength, only of his kind, his blood as intoxicating as ambrosia, his presence a temptation, I couldn’t escape. He made me crave more than I should or was allowed. In Paradise Bay, Vampires and Shifters are bound by ancient laws, their rivalry etched into the marrow of our existence. To meet him was to defy centuries of hatred; to love him was to risk everything. Each secret meeting was a dance with death, a betrayal of the Paradise Vampire Coven, and a rebellion against the laws that chained us. But Tor was my forbidden desire, my beautiful torment, and my greatest weakness. I knew the cost of this love, a love that could ignite war and destroy us both. But how could I resist the one thing that made my immortal heart beat once more? Excerpt from Alpha Tor's POV: “So you’ve been following me,” Tor’s deep growl echoed in the icy cavern. His golden eyes caught the flicker of torchlight. His breath misted in the freezing air, curling like smoke between them. “What gave me away?” I responded my voice as low, deep, and steady. Tor laughed a deep rumble that shook the cavern walls. “You reek of desperation. Do you think I didn’t notice your scent clinging to the trees? Are your footprints melting the frost? What is it, vampire? What do you want from me?” My jaw clenched and my gaze didn’t waver. “Your blood,” I taunted as my voice was laced with coldness to see if he could be threatened by my words. “Your kind is... intoxicating. Forbidden. I can’t stop myself.” I expected him to cover but he stepped forward and responded “If it’s my blood you want,” he murmured, his voice low and teasing, “then come closer and take what you need” The words struck me like lightning, and a fiery heat surged through my veins. My beast clawed at my control, drawn to him in a way that defied logic. His gaze held mine, and for the first time in my life, I didn’t know whether to run or to stay. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ In the end, they called me a betrayer. A traitor to the Paradise Vampire Coven. But how could I hold back when I had tasted something far sweeter than immortality? Alpha Tor was my forbidden fruit, the Lycan Shifter Alpha who defied everything I was taught to hate. But when I surged forward, ready to face anyone who dared stand between us, fate revealed the old prophecy hidden in Hanka Island. Alpha Tor wasn’t just my lover, he was my lifetime mate, our bond blessed by the ancient magic of Hanka Island itself. And our love was not meant to follow the rules, it was meant to break them.
