In Love With A Gumiho Chapter 1 The Forbidden Forest

In the kingdom of Aeryndor. The streets are lively with merchants, peasants, and nobles going about their day. But inside the grand castle, a somber mood lingers. King Eldrin, ailing from a mysterious illness, lies in bed as healers struggle to find a cure.

Princess Liora, his only daughter, bursts into the chamber. Her determined expression hides her fear.

"Father," she says, taking his hand, "I will find the cure. You must hold on."

The court healer approaches.

"Your Highness, the only remedy is the moonflower, a rare plant that grows deep in the Eldermist Forest. But the forest is cursed-no one who ventures in returns."

Liora's resolve hardens.

"Then I'll be the first."

----

With her trusted horse and a small satchel of supplies, Liora rides to the edge of the Eldermist Forest. As she dismounts, the atmosphere shifts-the air is heavy, the trees dark and foreboding. She tightens her grip on her sword, muttering to herself,

"You can do this."

As she ventures deeper, eerie sounds fill the air-whispers, rustling leaves, and the distant howl of a fox. Suddenly, she hears a low growl behind her. Turning, she sees a man with piercing amber eyes leaning casually against a tree.

"You're brave, little princess," he says, his voice smooth and teasing. "Or foolish."

Liora draws her sword.

"Who are you? Show yourself!"

The man smirks. In a flash, he transforms into a massive fox with nine shimmering tails. Liora's eyes widen, but she doesn't back down.

"A gumiho," she whispers. "Stay back!"

Taejin, the gumiho, chuckles and shifts back into his human form.

"This is my forest, human. Trespassers aren't welcome."

"I'm not leaving without the moonflower," Liora snaps.

"Well then," Taejin replies, a mischievous grin spreading across his face, "you'll have to go through me."

---

Taejin lunges, and Liora barely deflects his attack. Despite his playful demeanor, his strength is overwhelming. Liora fights back fiercely, her skill surprising him. The two trade blows-Taejin using his supernatural agility and tails, while Liora relies on her wits and training.

"You're persistent, I'll give you that," Taejin says, dodging a swing of her sword. "But you're out of your depth."

"I've faced worse than you," Liora retorts, slashing at him again.

Finally, Taejin knocks the sword from her hand and pins her against a tree with one of his tails. For a moment, they're inches apart, their eyes locked.

"You're not like the others," Taejin murmurs, intrigued. "Most humans run screaming by now."

Liora glares at him.

"And you're not as terrifying as the stories claim."

Taejin laughs, releasing her.

"I'll let you go this time, princess. But if you return, I won't be so kind."

As he disappears into the shadows, Liora retrieves her sword, her heart racing.

"We'll see about that," she mutters, determination burning brighter than ever.

---

Back at the castle, Liora studies a map of the forest. Her hand hovers over the location of the moonflower.

"I'm not giving up," she says to herself. "No matter what."

Meanwhile, Taejin watches her from a distance, perched on a tree branch just outside the castle walls. A sly smile plays on his lips.

"This is going to be interesting."

REGINA MCBRIDE

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.

Sexy Behind The Mask

Ellie Wynters
4.6

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."

Trigger/Content Warning: This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised. It includes elements such as BDSM dynamics, explicit sexual content, toxic family relationships, occasional violence and strong language. This is not a fluffy romance. It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
