We should be doing this," I mumbled, yet I bent my neck for him, giving him better access to it."Yes we shouldn't," he answered, but his hands were sliding under my skirt and pulling my panties down."If we get caught," I muttered, moaning as his fingers found my slick entrance and he rubbed. My knees shook but he held me against himself with his other hand."If we get caught," he repeated. It was as if this had become some sort of game between him and I. Repeating each other's words like this."I could be expelled and your job would be taken from you," I completed."Yes, that could happen," he answered with a nod of his head. He moved away from me and stared into my eyes. "But it won't happen. We won't get caught. I won't tell, if won't tell.""I'd be crazy to tell someone," I answered, my eyes searching his."Hmm," he answered with a nod of his head. His face was blank and it was quite hard to know if he was already rethinking what we were doing. I wouldn't blame him if he was. Why would he thro away his career for me?He sidestepped me and walked to the door, locking it behind us. "Now I'm going to need you to be quiet. Can you do that?""Can you be quiet for me?" He asked again. "You need to be quiet if you don't want them to catch us," he told me.I nodded my head, staring into his eyes. Yes. I could be quiet for him. I would be quiet for him."Use your words, sweetie," he murmured as he walked back to me and placed his hands under my chin, raising it up."Yes," I breathed out."Good girl. On your knees," he commanded.****When your one night stand turns out to be your professor, there's only one thing to do- continue to sleep with him.

Verity

Verity

Verity was a quiet 16 year old girl who had a tough life. She never meant for things to go so bad- so why did they? Abandoned at the ripe age of 3, she was adopted by a narcissistic asshole who abused her for 13 years straight. Her only escape was her best friends, who she saw as her older brothers and his dad- who she called her dad. He fed her and kept her safe, helping her when things got bad at home. She introduced herself as Verity Volkov, which wasn't her last name but the last name she wishes she had. Her father figure, Mikael Volkov, was the leader of the Russian mafia. Verity attended NLA, New Life Academy. One day, when she is at school, the unspeakable happens- her adoptive father commits. With nowhere to legally go, she sits in the sheriffs office, awaiting her DNA test. To her surprise, she has a family- in fact, she had a mom, a dad, and 6 older brothers. Six! What was she to do as she moves to Italy to live with her biological family, who appeared to be the Russians rivals- the Italian mafia. Her father was the don of the goddamn Italian mafia. She stays quiet and emotionless during her time in Italy, trying to cope before she meets Nicolas Ricci- the man her family despises yet the man who took interest in her. The man she falls in love with without realizing. As her story unfolds and secrets reveal, Verity goes through an emotional rollercoaster. And through this all Verity has one question only: Why did her biological family abandon her? What will she do to cope through all of this? ______________________________________…

Our Arranged Love

Featured in Serialised Spotlight Reading list of @AmbassadorsIN✨Saanjh Mishra, a 27-year-old teacher, loved her simple, purposeful life. Her days were spent surrounded by young minds, and she found satisfaction in helping shape their small worlds. Marriage felt distant, almost unnecessary, yet when her parents arranged a meeting with a young doctor, she couldn't refuse.Ashrut Sharma, a 28-year-old pediatrician, was equally committed to his own quiet routines. Balancing his days between his studies and caring for children at the hospital, he found comfort in his solitude. Romance had never been a priority, but when his mother gently urged him to meet Saanjh, he agreed, if only to make her happy.Their first meeting was meant to be brief, an exchange of polite pleasantries over tea. But something in their shared silences and steady glances sparked a connection neither had expected. Saanjh saw a steadiness in Ashrut that felt reassuring, while Ashrut found her laughter warm, a contrast to his own reserved nature.Bound in marriage by their families' wishes, Saanjh and Ashrut began their life together as strangers, each careful in the other's presence. Yet gradually, small gestures began to bridge the space between them-a shared cup of tea in the early morning, the gentle way he'd listen to her talk about her students, or the warmth of her smile as she handed him his stethoscope before he left for work.In these moments, an unspoken affection grew, something as natural as it was unexpected. And with each quiet glance, each shared meal, they realized that love, perhaps, was not as distant as they had thought. In each other, they found not just a partner but a companion who brought a quiet joy to the everyday.…
