She is strictly interested in short hookups to satisfy her sex drive but, by no means, will she allow feelings to be involved. The only problem she finds with this arrangement is that all the guys she goes out with are all the same. Which means, she's getting bored.\n\nLuckily, Cadence Mitchell spots a handsome, slender, white man at a boring art show that she just can't take her eyes off of. He's nothing like the other guys she's hooked up with, which is made clear when Austin announces that he's a college professor. Cadence is instantly hooked on him, much to Austin's surprise.\n\nThrough this new, very interesting involvement, Cadence discovers Austin's really, REALLY not like the other guys. During a few rocky hook ups, Cadence and Austin both learn that he's a submissive man in the bedroom and she, conveniently, is a dominant woman. Neither have ever explored this side of themselves but, they're more than excited to test their own, and each other's, limits. Neither Cadence nor Austin ever expected they would catch feelings through these exciting evenings together, though, which complicates the strict rules Cadence has placed on their arrangement.\n\n[ COMPLETED ]", "tags": ["afterdark", "angst", "bdsm", "bdsmrelationship", "blackgirl", "blackwoman", "bwwm", "casualsex", "college", "couple", "diverselit", "dominant", "femdom", "fluff", "lovers", "malesub", "nsfw", "professor", "romance", "sexy", "submissive", "urban", "wattys2019"], "readCount": 162099, "voteCount": 4690, "commentCount": null, "numParts": 26, "mature": true, "completed": true, "rating": null, "url": "https://www.wattpad.com/story/142520022-a-taste-of-something-new-%E2%9C%94%EF%B8%8F-18%2B", "cover": "https://img.wattpad.com/cover/142520022-256-k727179.jpg", "modifyDate": null, "categories": [4, 0], "firstPartId": 550276273, "user_name": "peardabear", "user_username": null, "user_avatar": "https://img.wattpad.com/useravatar/peardabear.128.852416.jpg"} {"id": "270086543", "title": "The Day After Tomorrow (BxB) - 1", "description": "Dylan Davis's life as a Were-Witch hybrid is anything but ordinary.

When the myths become reality, when he's not entirely sure reality is what it appears to be, Rowan must do everything in his power to find out the truth about a murder before his name cannot be cleared any longer.\n\n[[WATTPAD FEATURED STORY]]\n[[WATTYS 2019 WINNER]]\n\nContent warnings: This story contains some scenes of violent nature.\n \n\u00a9 2017 caterina george // all rights reserved", "tags": ["canada", "diverselit", "folklore", "freethelgbt", "ghostwriter", "investigation", "legends", "litfic", "murder", "mystery", "mysterythriller", "myths", "nanowrimo", "realisticfiction", "talkthepoc", "thriller", "wattpadcreators", "wattys2019", "writer"], "readCount": 138827, "voteCount": 8419, "commentCount": null, "numParts": 36, "mature": false, "completed": true, "rating": null, "url": "https://www.wattpad.com/story/124746665-counterfactual", "cover": "https://img.wattpad.com/cover/124746665-256-k494509.jpg", "modifyDate": null, "categories": [8, 0], "firstPartId": 478199453, "user_name": "violadavis", "user_username": null, "user_avatar": "https://img.wattpad.com/useravatar/violadavis.128.786562.jpg"} {"id": "310037016", "title": "My Wife Julie (A Reverse Harem Erotica)", "description": "Julie is an accomplished Marketing Executive who has been single for a year after a messy breakup.

Nor does she have any doubts about imprisoning her cunning grandmother in the depths of the royal prison, where she can't cause any more trouble.

To protect Kasra, Roshani is determined to kill her other siblings and end this conflict once and for all.

They certainly have no wish to wed an Indian girl, no matter how pretty she is!\n\nWhich is why the entire ton is incredulous when a young man - a duke, no less! - offers his hand in marriage to the young daughter of the Marquess of Salford. Lady Eleanor finds it quite hard to believe that any gentleman would wish to marry her and instead of feeling grateful, all she feels is remorse and anger. A husband would only bring with him a mountain of restrictions that were detrimental to her plans of travelling the world - the land of her ancestors, in particular. \n\nSo, when her parents sell her off to the duke, she realises that she no longer cares for society, her beloved father, or her reputation. And when the duke makes her an enticing offer, she realises she would have to abandon all sense of propriety, manners, and rules to do what he asks of her.\n\nShe would have to defy.\n\n\u00a9Richa Rachael Kurian, 2021\n.\n*1st Place Winner in GENERAL FICTION/HISTORICAL FICTION of the HIDDEN GEMS AWARDS\n* Featured in the DIVERSE FICTION reading list by @Ambassadors\n* Featured in the HISTORICAL FICTION reading list by @AmbassadorsIN\n* Featured in the WAR & MILITARY reading list by @HistoricalFiction\n* Featured in the HISTORICAL DIVERSELIT reading list by @HistoricalFiction\n*Featured in the HISTORICAL reading list by @adventure\n*Featured in the DIVERSELIT ADVENTURES reading list by @adventure", "tags": ["adopted", "adventure", "aristocracy", "arrangedmarriage", "billionaire", "defiance", "diverse", "diverselit", "duchess", "duke", "england", "feminism", "feminist", "historicalfiction", "historicalromance", "india", "indianrevolution", "marriage", "marriageofconvenience", "projectasiangirls", "revolution", "romance", "texttospeech", "weneeddiversebooks"], "readCount": 146933, "voteCount": 8485, "commentCount": null, "numParts": 33, "mature": false, "completed": true, "rating": null, "url": "https://www.wattpad.com/story/132305591-the-art-of-defiance-%E2%9C%94", "cover": "https://img.wattpad.com/cover/132305591-256-k471795.jpg", "modifyDate": null, "categories": [23, 0], "firstPartId": 509557091, "user_name": "richakurian", "user_username": null, "user_avatar": "https://img.wattpad.com/useravatar/richakurian.128.523479.jpg"} {"id": "393298087", "title": "\ud835\udc07\ud835\udc04\ud835\udc00\ud835\udc11\ud835\udc13\ud835\udc01\ud835\udc04\ud835\udc00\ud835\udc13", "description": "\"\ud835\udc32\ud835\udc28\ud835\udc2e \ud835\udc23\ud835\udc2e\ud835\udc2c\ud835\udc2d \ud835\udc1c\ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc27'\ud835\udc2d \ud835\udc2c\ud835\udc2d\ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc32 \ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc30\ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc32 \ud835\udc1f\ud835\udc2b\ud835\udc28\ud835\udc26 \ud835\udc26\ud835\udc1e, \ud835\udc22 \ud835\udc1d\ud835\udc28\ud835\udc27'\ud835\udc2d \ud835\udc1b\ud835\udc25\ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc26\ud835\udc1e \ud835\udc32\ud835\udc28\ud835\udc2e\"\n\nA toxic love story wrapped in late-night drives, jealous glances, and songs that say what they won't.\n\n\n\n-SUP3RM0D3L 2025", "tags": ["atlanta", "blackgirl", "bwwm", "diverselit", "heartbreak", "interracial", "love", "modern", "producer", "songs", "toxiccouple", "wmbw"], "readCount": 5011, "voteCount": 157, "commentCount": null, "numParts": 38, "mature": true, "completed": false, "rating": null, "url": "https://www.wattpad.com/story/393298087-%F0%9D%90%87%F0%9D%90%84%F0%9D%90%80%F0%9D%90%91%F0%9D%90%93%F0%9D%90%81%F0%9D%90%84%F0%9D%90%80%F0%9D%90%93", "cover": "https://img.wattpad.com/cover/393298087-256-k393170.jpg", "modifyDate": null, "categories": [4, 0], "firstPartId": 1535600120, "user_name": "-SUP3RM0D3L", "user_username": null, "user_avatar": "https://img.wattpad.com/useravatar/-SUP3RM0D3L.128.393236.jpg"} {"id": "390621975", "title": "Call The Play", "description": "School's in session at Pinecrest University-and senior photography major Claire James is running campus life like a well-oiled machine.

Their strong desire to protect the human race often causes their actions to speak louder than words, trying to take back control for those who can do nothing for themselves.\n\nWith the world teetering on the edge of complete chaos between the supernatural races, a pure blood vampire has always claimed dominance and rule of this world since Locaine took the world for the vampires years ago. With a different day and age, can what the vampires once feared be the balance that the world seeks?\n\nAre the vampire hunters really meant to be the balance between those seeking to live in peace?\n\nOnce entitled as the supernatural police after the treaty between the hunters and the vampires was formed, could the balance be restored through them entirely?\n\nWhat secrets lie within a true born hunter?\n\nThe world holds its breath, waiting to see what Maverick's heir Mavis will become.\n\nWill she become like Gage?\n\nWill she reach her full potential and set the balance back into place before the bloodshed consumes the world?\n\nOr, perhaps another way to seek peace is in the most unlikely places with the most unlikely alliances.\n\n\u2043\u2043\u2043\u2756\u2043\u2043\u2043\n\nHighest Ranking: \n#26 in Vampire\nPublished on Amazon under K.

They meet at a college dorm party the last week of her freshman year, and she's certain he likes her too. He's flirty and fun, and at the end of the night, he asks for her phone number. \n\nYou don't do that if you're not interested, right?\n\nBut after Aveen goes home for her summer break, she never hears back from Jamal. And to make matters worse, he turns up on her radar again, when her best friend, Jenna, texts her that she's dating a new guy from her summer internship, and his name is Jamal Jean-Pierre!\n\nWith the new semester just starting, Aveen must now pretend that she isn't bothered by seeing her crush and her best friend together, but Jamal keeps popping up everywhere: in her History class, at her part-time job, in the cafeteria, and pretty much everywhere else. \n\nAnd unless she's reading things the wrong way, he still seems to be flirting with her. Confused and wondering whether Jamal is just a rake, Aveen makes a concerted effort to move on. \n\nHowever, when Jenna and Jamal talk Aveen into helping them prepare for a TV game show with a trip for two to Miami as the Grand Prize, Aveen has had enough. But Jenna and Jamal won't take no for an answer.

It had nothing to do with whether she liked them or not. It was solely because they were rotten the moment they fell into her hands. At the age of sixteen, one is expected to be as normal as any ordinary teenager. Enjoying life, living to the fullest whilst making many memories and mistakes along the way. \n\nBut for Hayley, her life was anything but ordinary. Being young, funny and beautiful never once made up for the angry demons lurking beneath Hayley's skin.

A girl who experienced nothing but pain and regret in her early childhood and a boy who sought out to fix damaged people when he was damaged himself. \n\nWill Parker and Hayley be able to help one another in ways others have failed to and confront their demons head-on? Or will they both succumb to a future of never-ending darkness? \n\nAs time ticks by, Hayley documents the passing days of her life, hoping that the people she loves would understand the thoughts that never made it past her lips. \n\nAll rights reserved \u00a9\ufe0f\nCopyright 2020", "tags": ["adventure", "asiansinlit", "bwam", "comingofage", "contemporarylit", "contemporaryromance", "diverselit", "drama", "family", "featured", "highschool", "humour", "love", "mentaldisorder", "mentalhealth", "romance", "selfdiscovery", "shortstory", "suicideawareness", "teenfiction", "wattys2021", "youngadult", "youngromance"], "readCount": 18753, "voteCount": 1400, "commentCount": null, "numParts": 60, "mature": true, "completed": true, "rating": null, "url": "https://www.wattpad.com/story/223900677-what-i-wish-you-knew-%EA%AA%9C", "cover": "https://img.wattpad.com/cover/223900677-256-k986891.jpg", "modifyDate": null, "categories": [1, 0], "firstPartId": 879828676, "user_name": "XFiction_GoddessX", "user_username": null, "user_avatar": "https://img.wattpad.com/useravatar/XFiction_GoddessX.128.928121.jpg"} {"id": "248103884", "title": "if by chance | \u2713", "description": "Sometimes it's not the butterflies that tell you you're in love.

Although they live together in a wealthy household, they study at different schools.\n\n\tBRANDON SAVAGE is the older twin, the gentle giant, the star quarterback, and every girl's wet dream. With a loyal best friend and a loving girlfriend, his grades are the only things hindering him. Desperate for a miracle, Brandon asks for his brother's help. If his studies don't improve, he'd risk his position on the team and any chance of graduating.\n\n\tBRYAN SAVAGE loves flaunting his wealth, banging ovaries, and bossing people around is his favorite hobby. Being the Student-Body President and the Director of a musical in their prestigious academy certainly made way for him to have more enemies (as if he has a lot of friends anyway). Gossips, ex-girlfriends, rivalries, and student riots add to the conundrum -- loyalties are tested and trust is hard to keep when everyone wants him impeached.\n\nWhen neither twin has the power to solve their own problems, they hope the other would do it for them. But it only turned out to be a recipe for disaster because of their stupidity.\n\n\n\n\u21a0 COMPLETED FIRST DRAFT, will contain errors - March 30, 2020\n\n\u21a0 Features both Heterosexual and Homosexual relationships\n\n\nCopyright \u00a9 JohnerZulueta.
