Three long, degrading months had passed since Sophie Morgan first entered Crowe Private Clinic as an innocent, struggling young woman.

That girl was dead a while ago now.

In her place existed something far more broken and beautiful: Dr. Elias Crowe’s personal clinic breeding pet. Patient 001. A permanent resident of the hidden underground medical wing. Her old life had been completely erased with ruthless efficiency. Her apartment was cleared and sold. Her job resigned. All debts paid. He

  • Painful Pleasures(Short Steamy Collections)   History’s Heat - Professor & Student Erotica

    The restricted archives under the main library smelled like dust, old leather, and secrets that hadn’t seen daylight in decades. Lucas wiped sweat from his brow even though the room was cool. It was past 11 p.m., and the only light came from the green banker’s lamp on the long oak table and the faint emergency strips along the floor. Professor Marcus had kept him here for three hours cataloging a new donation of Civil War letters—rare, fragile, and full of raw personal truths. Marcus stood across the table, early forties, broad-shouldered in a dark button-down with the sleeves rolled up. A thin scar ran along his jaw and disappeared under his collar—something from “another life,” he’d said once and never explained. Authoritative, precise, the kind of professor who made grad students sweat for every approval. Lucas had been his research assistant for six months. The tension had been building like a storm you could feel coming. “Careful with that one,” Marcus said, voice low as Lu

  • Painful Pleasures(Short Steamy Collections)   Beacon in the Storm

    Sara gripped the railing of the supply boat as it slammed against the dock, salt spray stinging her face. The lighthouse rose above the rocks like a crooked finger against the gray sky, appearing tall, white, streaked with rust and years of beating weather. She’d volunteered for this six-month research stint on seabird populations, thinking isolation would be peaceful. The captain had laughed when she said that. “Elias don’t talk much. Good luck.” The man waiting on the dock didn’t look like he needed company. Elias Crowe stood with his hands in the pockets of a heavy oilskin coat, salt-and-pepper beard, deep lines around sharp blue eyes. Mid-forties, built solid from hauling supplies and fighting the sea. He didn’t smile. “Dr. Sara Kline?” His voice carried over the wind, low and rough like gravel under boots. “That’s me.” She shouldered her duffel. “Thanks for letting me stay up here.” He took the bag from her without asking, muscles flexing under the coat. “Only one bunk tha

  • Painful Pleasures(Short Steamy Collections)   Rodeo Dust

    Lena wiped sweat from her forehead with the back of her wrist, the arena lights buzzing overhead like angry hornets. The roar of the crowd still echoed in her ears even though the last bull had bucked its rider twenty minutes ago. She’d been on the circuit for three weeks now—temporary gig fixing up Boone McCade’s wrecked shoulder after a bad spill in Tulsa. She hadn’t expected to still be here. Boone sat on the tailgate of his truck outside the medical tent, shirt off, dust streaked across his chest and abs. Bruises bloomed purple and yellow over his ribs. He was thirty-four, built like a man who got thrown ten times a week and got back up every single time. Dark hair matted under his cowboy hat, jaw set tight. “You gonna poke at it all night or actually fix something?” he drawled, voice rough from the night’s yelling. Lena snapped on fresh gloves. “Keep running your mouth and I’ll make it hurt on purpose.” He grinned. “Promise?” She ignored the flutter low in her belly a

  • Painful Pleasures(Short Steamy Collections)   Cabin Fever

    Brooke’s boots sank deeper with every step, the snow coming down so thick it felt like the mountain was trying to swallow her whole. Her satellite phone had died hours ago. The trail she’d been following was long gone under fresh powder. She was supposed to be writing a piece on backcountry survival—ironic as hell now that she was actually living it, and losing. The wind howled through the pines. She was soaked under her layers, teeth chattering, when she spotted the thin ribbon of smoke. The cabin was small, rough-hewn logs, half-buried in snow. She pounded on the heavy door with numb fists. It swung open and a wall of a man filled the frame. Tall, broad, dark beard streaked with gray, eyes sharp under a worn knit cap. Flannel shirt stretched tight across his chest, sleeves pushed up over forearms corded with muscle and old scars. “You lost?” His voice was gravel, low and unfriendly. “Blizzard… phone dead,” Brooke managed, lips cracked. “Please.” He stared at her another beat

    Valentina stumbled out of the club bathroom, the bass still thumping in her veins, her short silver dress riding up her thighs from all the dancing. The place was packed with bodies and overpriced drinks, the kind of night where everything felt possible until it didn’t. She’d been grinding on some guy earlier, laughing loud, when another man caught her eye across the VIP section. Tall, sharp suit, dark eyes that didn’t blink. He’d watched her calm and gentle. She didn’t remember much after that. A strong hand on her elbow guiding her toward a private exit, the smell of expensive cologne. Then nothing. Now she woke up on a massive bed in a room that looked like money had fucked architecture. Floor-to-ceiling windows showing the city lights sprawled out far below. No balcony access she could see. The door looked heavy as hell. Her wrists were cuffed to the headboard with soft leather, not too tight but no getting loose. Panic hit her as She yanked hard, cursing in Portuguese

  • Painful Pleasures(Short Steamy Collections)   Harvest Moon

    Riley wiped the dust off her camera lens for the third time in ten minutes and cursed under her breath. The rental car had kicked up half the county road on the way in, and now her black jeans and tank top already looked like she’d rolled in the dirt. She was supposed to be shooting a quick feature on “modern family farms.” Two days, in and out. Instead she was standing in front of Caleb Hart’s place with her bag at her feet and zero cell service. The farmhouse was old but solid--white paint faded by sun, wraparound porch sagging a little on one end. Fields stretched out forever behind it, golden wheat swaying under the late afternoon sky. A big, broad-shouldered man came out of the barn, wiping his hands on a rag. Jeans worn at the knees, flannel sleeves rolled up, ball cap pulled low. Even from a distance she could see the muscle earned from real work, not a gym. “Caleb Hart?” she called. He stopped, looked her over slow. “You the photographer lady from the city.” Not a questio

    The white Mercedes SUV rolled through the heavy iron gates at exactly 6:15 PM on Friday evening. Aria Bennett stared out the tinted window, her stomach twisting into knots as the long private driveway stretched ahead. Tall trees lined both sides, and at the end stood Dominic Reyes’ mansion — a st

    Sofia had just turned nineteen two weeks ago, and the house still smelled like the cheap vanilla cake that her mom baked. She was sprawled on the couch in an oversized t-shirt and tiny cotton shorts, legs tucked under her, scrolling through her phone when the doorbell rang. She already knew who

    The next few days Grace barely left her room, hiding behind locked doors and excuses about headaches or needing to study. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Lucas’s thick cock sliding between her lips, felt his fingers buried inside her, heard those filthy words echoing in her head. *My shy

    The sacristy door clicked shut behind them two nights later. Evening Mass had ended an hour ago, the last stragglers gone, and the big church stood empty and dark except for a few candles burning near the altar. Father Elias had told himself he wouldn’t message her. He had deleted her number twice
