Strip Me Softly.

R18+ | Billionaire | Stripper | Contract Marriage. Evelyn Evans was celebrating her 18th birthday when the call came. A plane crash. Her parents,gone in seconds, though their bodies remained breathing. Comas,hospitals,bills stacked like curses. The party ended before the cake was cut,and her life,as she knew it, shattered. Now twenty one,Evelyn no longer lives in daylight. She becomes Rose,the masked goddess of Club Dusk,where billionaires throw cash and sanity to watch her dance. She’s faceless,untouchable,a fantasy they crave but can’t own. Until Jace Montez;a brutally cold billionaire with words sharp as razors,walks in,dragged to the club by friends who hate him more than they admit. He doesn’t come for pleasure,he doesn’t stay for the show,but one man does. And that man pays a dangerous price to have Rose delivered to his hotel room...against her will. Jace found her struggling,though already drugged but she still cried for help. She was terrified,barely conscious. He took her to safety,but safety comes with a price. The next morning,she's caught in Jace's penthouse by his high society parents,the he scandal brews. The Montez family threatens to force him into marrying a cruel heiress. His solution? A fake marriage to the masked girl he just saved. One year,one contract,one rule;no falling in love. *** Excerpt “I don’t need a wife.” Jace said flatly,tossing a sleek black folder onto the table between them. Evelyn didn’t flinch. “Then why am I here?” she asked,her voice low,almost bored. He leaned back in his leather chair. The city glowed behind him through the floor to ceiling glass like the world bent for him. “Because my parents believe they saw something scandalous. And they’ll ruin both of us if I don’t give them a name.” “So give them mine?” she challenged. His eyes narrowed. “Not your fake one.” She blinked,then looked down at the contract. One year. No intimacy required,full confidentiality,divorce by next winter. “This is a joke.” she whispered. He shrugged. “You need money,I need silence. We both get what we want.” There was a cruel efficiency to him,like he was born with ice in his veins. But he didn’t know her. Didn’t know the bills stacked under her mattress. The nights she counted coins to feed her sister in her dreams. Didn’t know what it meant to dance half naked in front of men who didn’t see a girl but a product. She picked up the pen,paused. “If I sign this.”she said.“I don’t become yours,not really.” Jace met her stare.“You never will be.” And that...for some reason...hurt. --- The moment her body hit the stage,silence blanketed the room. A red mask,a slit rose gold gown that shimmered like temptation itself. Every man leaned forward,every woman clenched their jaw. But Jace didn’t blink,something in his chest cracked,something old,something stupid. Her movements were hypnotic. Every sway,every dip,every snap of her waist matched the music like she was the rhythm. And then,her head turned,she looked straight at him. No...through him. “Who is she?”People whispered behind him. Jace stared coldly at her,no one may know her identity,but he sure damn knows. Before her dance finished,he left in anger,Evelyn noticed and went after him immediately,not minding the consequences. Down back halls,past marble columns,into velvet lined corridors meant for secrets. “Wait.”Her voice shuttered. He stopped. Slowly,she walked to him,in caution. "Why are you here?"His voice was so icy. “For my freedom.”She whispered,voice wrapped in silk. He just smirked and walked away. "I came for you."She suddenly screamed. *** Evelyn isn’t playing house,and Jace doesn’t do hearts. But why's there a feeling that this fire?Why does he look at her like he’s trying to unmask her soul? And when her boss,the same man who tried to sell her refuses to let go of his biggest moneymaker,Evelyn realizes something chilling;she may be Jace’s wife on paper,but she’s still being hunted in the shadows.

His whisper brought me back to reality, causing me to flutter my eyelids as I brought my gaze back to his eyes. "Focus. Tell me to shove it in." Argh, what's his fucking problem? "Since when do you care about what I think?" He stared at me for a good few seconds, forcing me to divert my gaze back to his dick. Yup... Still harder than a rock. "I don't." He suddenly responded, causing me to clench my jaw as I brought my gaze back to his annoyingly attractive silver eyes. "If I wanted to, I'd simply tie you up without saying a thing and then fuck you until the entire pack hears you screaming my name. But..." He paused, his smirk turning into a grin as he brought his mouth to my ear and whispered. "... I want to see you beg for it. I want to see you grovel at my feet, pleading for the sweet release of me fucking you. The mate bond has heightened your sex drive, hon. And I'm the only one capable of taming it." ***** (This book is a 2025 WSA Entry. Your support is very appreciated! You can follow the author on Discord: @malachijayden.)

MELTING: Set him on Fire

Zafire Ashfault, one of Asia’s top models, never imagined she’d get the chance to live a normal student life. She enrolled in fashion school due to her father's suggestion—but her heart was never in it. The scent of warm spices, the rhythm of chopping vegetables, the feeling of creating something with her hands... cooking always called to her. Maybe because it reminds her of her mother. After years of burying that passion, Zafire finally finds the courage to transfer to the university’s culinary program, ready to chase the dream she’s always ignored. She imagines a world full of flavor, fun, and new beginnings. But what she finds is far from easy—and her toughest challenge comes in the form of one icy perfectionist. Keice Atlas—known as “Ice”—is the Supreme Student Council President, top of the class, and completely focused on a single goal: inheriting his late mother's pastry shop and expanding it from the ground up. He’s not interested in fame or luxury restaurants. He wants to honor his family’s legacy. So when Zafire, a celebrity-turned-student, enters the scene, he immediately writes her off as a spoiled, unserious nepo baby who doesn’t belong. She tests his patience. A lot of it. But her genuine warmth and unexpected innocence begin to chip away at his cold, controlled world. Her presence reminds him of his younger sister—and that’s the excuse he clings to when he catches himself caring too much. Their goals seem aligned: he wants to perfect his craft; she wants to discover her passion. But in the competitive, demanding world of culinary arts, emotions can be a dangerous distraction. It takes the appearance of a rival—someone who openly adores Zafire—to finally force Ice to confront his feelings. Jealousy, for the first time, melts his walls. Weekly updates on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday! Please leave a comment and review. Thank you!
