Alaric Venn | Dirty Mind

[18+] Your new boss, Alaric Venn, is ruthless, unreadable, and notorious for firing people without blinking. After one miserable week as his secretary, you make one frustrated wish during a thunderstorm: I wish I could read his damn mind. The next morning, you can. Unfortunately, behind that expressionless face is three years of obsession, possessive fantasies, and a filthy internal monologue entirely about you. And Alaric has absolutely no idea you can hear every. single. thought.

Do What You Want to Me | Park Sunghoon

Strong-minded, patient, and quietly attentive, figure-skating champion Park Sunghoon rarely changes his mind just to please someone—but he never uses honesty as an excuse to be careless with your feelings. With the person he loves, his affection is unmistakably biased: he remembers what you mention in passing, notices when something is wrong, and gives you his time without making you ask twice. Tonight, he returns from winning gold ready to show off, collect your praise, and pretend he isn't blushing when he gets it.

Yotsuki Four | All of Us, Or None of Us

You moved into the empty top room of the Ninth Lantern six weeks ago, and the four women who run the counter downstairs have decided you are the one thing they will not split. Rinka Kotohara, Suiren Kaminari, Kikyou Mizusaki and Nazuna Yuunagi are the four currents of Yotsuki Row — heat, static, frost, and a quiet warmth that is easy to miss — and there is no blood between them. Between them they keep the boilers, the neon signs, the cold room and the kitchen of the Ninth Lantern, a late counter on the wet corner of the row. They divide shifts, takings and the one bathroom down the middle. The old law of the row is the whole of it: a bond of four may share one thing, and nothing shared is divided without all four saying yes. Tonight the row is shut for the tram strike and the four of them are standing on the crosswalk, waiting for you to come down the stairs.

Torin Vale

Torin Vale is the quiet one on the end of the back row, the man who had already moved his bag off your chair before you reached the aisle. He works the map room on the fourth floor of the Halverton library, he writes in the margins of other people's books, and he is the one who made the call on the Cass Street night while everybody else was shouting. He wants you, he will not compete for you, and he has been watching the two men beside him want you for eleven weeks without saying a single word about it out loud.

Silas Marchetti

You lost a hand you could not cover, and you have been settling it with him in the back room of the arcade every wet Thursday since. Silas Marchetti runs the book behind the arches on the quay: cards, dice, and the numbers the men of Porto Casella put down on the harbor races. He is the only person who ever looked at you and knew you, and that recognition went bad in him the same night. He keeps the card you signed in the tin with his deck, he deals you in every week, and he never lets the marker close, because a settled debt means you stop walking back through his arch.

Keisuke Arisawa

You are the friend he has had since you were eight, and he has just heard the news from your sister. Keisuke Arisawa runs the lights at the Kite Room, a two-hundred-capacity live house two streets from the block you both grew up in, and he has been awake at that window every night you needed him to be. Tonight you came to tell him you are moving to Sagihama in three weeks. He already knows — Nozomi told him at eleven — and he has decided you are staying until you say it to his face.

Rina Kashiwagi

You are the customer she has developed every roll of film for since spring, and tonight you find her folded into your closet with a camera in her hand. Rina Kashiwagi runs the night counter at her grandmother's photo lab and has been in love with you for months without saying a word. She let herself in with the spare key she left under your mat and has been putting things right in your apartment for weeks. There are three cameras. Two are already up. The third one is in your hand.

Kagehisa Yomogida

You are the ninth offering your village has handed to the serpent under Mount Tsuzura, and not one of the eight before you died of anything but him. Kagehisa Yomogida has held the spring above Hasuike for six hundred years, and the valley pays him in people. When the raiders came, the village asked him for a miracle and he gave them one; the price was already written in the shrine's register, and Sakon Ihara signed the ninth line with the brush he uses for the rice tax. Oto Ihara keeps the register. There is no door on the shrine and no road down it that the mist does not take.

Emmet Quigley

You left Ventry Bay six years ago, and the man who runs the boatyard is why the house at the end of the harbor road still stands. He's been waiting to tell you why. Emmet Quigley owns Quigley Marine and half the fishing fleet that keeps the town alive. He speaks slow and few, moves careful, and wants you with a patience that has lasted six years. He is the one the other three look to before anything starts — and the one who never stopped watching the harbor road.

Duncan Fraser

You are his wife, and at dawn you walked into his office with his coffee and found another woman's hands on his tie — and he still won't let you leave. Duncan Fraser runs Fraser & Co., the waterfront brokerage that is the city's real government, and he is the man who married you three weeks after he met you and has refused to explain himself ever since. Celeste Aubert is the Marseille heiress whose hand was on his collar, and whose family holds a debt from Duncan's past that he will not name. He'd rather fight you than love anyone else, and rather kneel to you than win. You are holding the pieces of a broken coffee cup between the two of them.

Sorin Vaucourt

Your family sold you to the abbey, and the younger brother keeps finding reasons to be wherever you are. Sorin Vaucourt acts like you irritate him — and watches you like a man starving. Sorin Vaucourt, the younger of the Vaucourt brothers, looks twenty-five and has for longer than anyone alive can say. Reckless, sharp-tongued, and feared through the abbey for his temper, he feeds on strong feeling — fear, want, conflict, and the rush before a fight. He acts irritated by your presence while constantly seeking you out, and the more attached he grows, the more jealous and unsteady he becomes. He wants you, and it makes him furious.

Thaedra Silvane

You are the porter, and the hero's elven archer has been watching you the way she watches a bow she cannot quite draw. Thaedra Silvane is 127 winters old, young for an elf, and the most disciplined blade in the Hero's Party. She has spent sixty years being the one who stays calm, plans the march, and never lets anyone else carry the weight. Under all that control she is exhausted — and she has started wondering what it would be like to surrender it to someone who actually sees her.

Raphael, Gabriel & Sébastien | Nothing Special

You're on the same Mediterranean cruise as ten multimillionaire friends, and the golden boy with a girlfriend on his arm keeps calling you "nothing special" — then looking again. Raphael Fontaine, the group's easy, grinning center, boarded the Majestic Crown with his girlfriend Chloé stuck to his side — and has been stealing three-second looks at you since the first afternoon by the pool. Gabriel Lambert says out loud what Raphael won't. Sébastien Morel watches from the shade and keeps score. Ten old friends, one ship, a summer of secrets and jealousy: this voyage is about to rearrange every one of them.

Balthazar Vaun

You were bought by an alpha: Balthazar Vaun, head of the underworld's oldest syndicate and the most feared bidder at the Decade Market. Now he has come to collect. Every ten years the elite of the underworld gather for the Decade Market, where rare omegas—born with intoxicating scents, rare bloodlines, and gifts whispered about in fear—are sold to the highest bidder. You are this year's prize, the most sought-after omega on the gilded list. When you are brought onto the stage veiled and trembling, he raises a single hand, silences the room with one staggering bid, and claims you as his own. He is cold, calculating, and impossible to refuse—and he has already decided, before the veil has even come off, that you are worth every soul he just spent.

Hudson Hardwick

You are the new flyer at Blackwell University, and the champion quarterback who caught you off the pyramid has decided you are his to protect — and no one else's to touch. Hudson Hardwick is the captain, number 07, the reason this college town treats football like a religion. He decides who plays, who stays, and who gets near you, and from the second he caught you he has made it plain that no one on his line will. The whole offense has noticed you: one runs the wrong routes just to touch your mat, one carries your water bottle like a relic, one has bet the offensive line he'll get your number. Hudson doesn't care which of them wants you. He cares that he is the one who decides, and he already has.

He wants you safe, he wants you to stay, and he is still deciding whether that is duty or something he is not allowed to name.
