The carriage jolted over a particularly rough stone, and Valentina was torn from her memories. Cosimo stirred beside her, his hand sliding lazily over her hip.
"What are you thinking about?" he murmured sleepily.
"The summer ahead of us," she replied, which wasn't entirely untrue.

"Be careful with that," Valentina instructed a young servant who was lifting one of her chests too hastily. It was the chest that contained the Eye of Deceit and her forbidden books, carefully wrapped in waxed leather and hidden in a false bottom.
"Of course, my lady," he muttered, blushing.<...

She needed more information about Ethan Cooper. And she knew exactly how she was going to get it.
The way forward seemed clear. If she filmed for Bound.com, she would have direct access to him. She could grill people about him, maybe even talk to him herself, get a feel for who he was.

In the shadow of the city's mighty Flametower, Johann Georg Bombastian von Agrippin strolled leisurely through the cobblestone streets of Agrippin toward the inconspicuous entrance of an establishment called Zum Goldenen Band. The building was deliberately hidden behind an unadorned facade in a si...

Dear Readers,
Over the past few days, I've had to invest a lot of time moving A Blossom of Flames from Royal Road to my own website, which I had to build completely from scratch. That wasn't something I had planned for, but unfortunately it became necessary to make sure the story can continue safely and in the way it was ...
Saccharine - Chapter 22 - Meeting Elena
Chloe woke up with a start from a deep, exhausted sleep. Her phone was vibrating insistently somewhere under the pillow. She fumbled for it, her eyes still half closed, and squinted at the display.
11:15 a.m.
Damn. Sleeping in this late shouldn't become a habit.
Her body ...

She had to get out of here. But how? Just leaving was not an option.
And then she saw Elena.
The Latina was leaning against the wall next to the French doors leading to a terrace. Even from a distance, Chloe could see that something was wrong. Elena was swaying slightly and her eyes wer...

The taxi app showed a seven-minute wait. Chloe stood in front of her apartment building, nervously tugging at the hem of her black dress for the third time. The evening heat of Valley City still hung heavy and sluggish over the city.
Then the white Toyota pulled up to the curb. The driver, a ...

Dear Readers,
And so the second book about Valentina and Vyxara comes to an end. In a sense, it was more challenging to write because two new settings (and, above all, social spheres) were added with Palewood and Dusktown, but that's also exactly what made it so much fun. It gave me the opportunity to incorporate even more of the things I have in mind for the Valentinaverse.
The boo...

When Chloe opened her eyes at around 11 a.m. on Tuesday and slowly stretched, her body felt like it did after a particularly intense yoga session. But it was nowhere near as bad as after Throat Me. Apparently, her body was actually getting used to the physical demands of this shitty job.

As Chloe climbed out of the dryer and stood up, Ashley rushed over to her with a bathrobe and a water bottle. She wasn't necessarily thirsty, but she wrapped the bathrobe around herself, grateful for the illusion of privacy, even though everyone in the room had just seen the important bits naked an...

Saccharine - Chapter 17 - Help, Roommate, I'm Stuck
The next few days blurred together in her memory since there wasn't much happening. Then on Friday, Chloe woke up at seven and went through her yoga routine, even though her knees still protested as soon as she went into downward dog. The marks from the studio floor at Throat Me had faded to ugly g...

Finally, Ben turned into a quiet side street where trees were planted at perfect intervals and stopped in front of a discreetly and artfully lit restaurant. A valet in a vest and bow tie hurried over.
"Mr. Ziegler, it's good to see you again." The valet took the keys with practiced profession...

The sun was already beating through the thin curtains when Chloe's phone jolted her awake from a deep, exhausted sleep. It was 11 a.m. She had slept for more than twelve hours, and yet her body felt as if it had been run over by a truck.
The phone continued to ring, vibrating on the wobbly ni...

She gasped for air like a fish out of water. Every breath felt like she had swallowed sandpaper. Her throat burned like fire, no, worse, as if someone had pushed a red-hot poker through it and twisted it a few times just to make sure there was enough damage.

Saccharine - Chapter 13 - Swallow Your Pride (uncensored)
Sunday evening Chloe stared at her phone and read Ben's message with the details for Wednesday, which had just arrived. Studio address, time, and then the name she had been hoping for: Trevor Knight will be your scene partner.
Trevor Knight. The guy Samantha had complained about.

Ben was nowhere to be seen.
She stood on tiptoe, searching for his thinning, slicked-back hair among all the styled heads. There he was, in the corner by the window. But he wasn't alone.
The man Ben was talking to looked like an investment banker. He wore an impeccably tailored charcoal...

The mood was excited among the second-year students as they gathered for the grading ceremony. The main hall of Bridgewater University filled up quickly. Valentina stood between Innogen and Crispin, their hands clasped tightly together.
"I think I wasn't this nervous even before the Greystone competition," thought Valentina.
"Oh, you have a very short memory," Vyxara mocked...

Valeria Cruz.
Valeria Cruz stood by the window, surrounded by three men who listened attentively to her. She wore a sharply tailored white pantsuit and her dark hair was pinned up in a severe bun. Even from a distance, Chloe could see her large gold hoop earrings sparkling.

The champagne glass in Chloe's hand was slowly becoming heavy. That was the downside of trying to drink slowly.
Ben Ziegler's hand rested on her lower back, and she could feel the moist warmth of his fleshy fingers through the thin fabric of her red dress. It was the shortest, most revealing ...

Shortly afterwards, Chloe stood under the thin, lukewarm stream, her hands flat against the tiled walls, her head bowed. It wasn't as bad as she had feared. She didn't have to cry. She didn't feel dead inside either. Actually, she mainly felt... relieved. It was over. She had done it.

Saccharine - Chapter 8 - Rien ne va plus (uncensored)
The alarm clock rang at 8 a.m., but Chloe was already awake. For hours, actually, if she was honest. She had tossed and turned all night, waking up repeatedly, staring at the time on her phone. 3:34. 4:27. 5:19. 6:41.
Now she sat on the edge of the bed, her feet on the stained carpet, staring...

"Tomorrow?"
The word barely crossed her lips.
Ben guffawed suggestively. "Oh yeah! He couldn't wait. Randy performs in the scenes himself, you know, and he can't wait to get his hands on you."
Chloe swallowed hard.

Shortly before 2 p.m., Chloe got off the bus near the converted warehouse where the photo studio was located. She was wearing her short shorts and a crop top, practical in this weather, and she could change at the studio, after all.
The gym bag over her shoulder also contained two dresses, th...
