Steamy Shorts Series by Lena Little

I don’t give a flying f*ck if my absentee father got married and acquired a new daughter. But it’s an entirely different matter when he dumps her on my front door a day before Halloween. Because I’d rather have someone who wears a hockey mask and carries a machete for a roommate. I don’t get much choice because she’s already here, so I just have to suffer in her presence for one night. Just one. Then, I’ll go send her to another apartment complex and never have to see her ever again... moreI don’t give a flying f*ck if my absentee father got married and acquired a new daughter. But it’s an entirely different matter when he dumps her on my front door a day before Halloween. Because I’d rather have someone who wears a hockey mask and carries a machete for a roommate. I don’t get much choice because she’s already here, so I just have to suffer in her presence for one night. Just one. Then, I’ll go send her to another apartment complex and never have to see her ever again. At least, that’s the plan before I see her. When I get home, Raven sits on the stairs, head down and shoulders slumped. The girl looks up, and the vision rips the soul clean off my body. Is she for real? How can someone look this beautiful? Are my eyes playing tricks on me? There’s no way. There’s just no way. But she is. And whatever fiery anger I initially felt quickly morphs into something else—something darker, deeper, and more intense. OBSESSION. It’s more than just a potent desire to have her. I get this primal need to protect her and keep her safe. Whoever touches or hurts her is a dead man. If anyone wants to test that, there’s only one thing they can do…F*ck around and find out. less

Someone as perfect as her doesn’t deserve someone like me.But…My obsession with her has already taken root, shocking me down to the marrow of my bones, and there’s nothing I can do about it. Nothing but stare at her from afar, flooded by visions of her writhing as I’m pumping her full with my seed, binding her to me... moreI’ve been obsessed with Jenna since the moment I laid eyes on her.I don’t think she notices me, which is fine because I’m nothing but a librarian with the looks of a lumberjack.

I will stop if she tells me to. Until then, she will belong to me—heart, body, and soul.After all, I’m never one to do anything by half measure. less

I fu*king hate my next-door neighbor, Piper.She always turns her nose up whenever we bump into each other in the hallway, tells me to lower my music when I can barely hear it myself, finds something wrong with me, and glares at me every chance she gets.

It’s like she gets offended by the very air I breathe.It shouldn’t turn me on, but it does.Especially since it’s hard to ignore just how beautiful she is, how her eyes light up when she’s genuinely happy, or how she tries to mask her sadness with anger.I fu*king hate Piper.Mostly because she ignores me.So I do what every mature, self-respecting man in his mid-30s does when he’s attracted to someone who won’t ever give him the time of day—I piss her off, then flirt with her, then ask her out.Piper thinks I’m joking.She never says no, just rakes her eyes up and down my body and turns her back on me with a scoff.Fine, Piper. Fine. I get the message.Challenge accepted. less

Jealousy pierces through me, along with white-hot anger at who this guy is—a guy I didn’t even know existed... moreAllie asks me to take her virginity, and I’m not sure if this is a dream or not.

My obsession with Heather Cain runs deep.I bullied her when we were kids because that was the only way to make her notice me.Unfortunately, it backfired and only made her hate me.
