Spicy stories so good, we almost got banned 🔥
Free short spicy stories delivered straight to your inbox every Sunday.

Do you know why more startups aren’t marketing romance and spicy stories like we are? Oh, let me tell you—it’s because credit card companies think we’re just too dangerous. That’s right. Apparently, romance is a high-risk business, right up there with gambling and who-knows-what-else. Heaven forbid romance readers find the stories they’re actually looking for.
But if you’re here for danger, we got you covered with the swooniest, most dangerous stories around. If some people are clutching their pearls over it, we must be doing something right. And guess what? We just got approved by our credit card processor - finally a payment partner that doesn’t think it’s 1925. They get it.
So here’s the deal. If you enjoy these free stories, bookmark this page for many, many more soon. Tell your friends. Tell your neighbors. Tell your annoying coworkers. And next week? Look for curated book bundles by spice level and orientation. (Fun fact: you’d be surprised how many “straight” readers love stories with LGBTQ+ characters. ❤️🔥)
We cooking.
With love,

P.S. Every Sunday, we release (free!) short, spicy stories. 📌 Bookmark this page to come back to this week.
 | Whatever I Want, Whatever I Say By Sinclair Sexsmith (🌶️🌶️🌶️ BDSM) “I’m not stupid. I know there are limits to what I can do with her. When I negotiated with her owner a few nights ago, we went over all kinds of things I could feasibly see myself doing, and some things that probably would never cross my mind. Although now that they have, perhaps I shall.” |
 | Truth or Dare By Misty Stewart (🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ Friends, LGBTQ+ Bisexual) Four years ago, Beth, Caleb and Jack played a game that changed everything. Now, Beth is back and as they play the game, her darkest secrets are revealed: submissive needs she’s always run from, a yearning for another’s dark dominance. This time, Caleb might actually know what to do about them… |
 | Boudoir By Winter (🌶️🌶️🌶️ Roleplay, Exhibitionism, Swingers) In a daring move to help her husband's boudoir photography business, Emma finds herself posing in provocative lingerie.

And Caleb has something special set up for their next scene - he's invited Delia, a woman Beth has long fantasied about, to join them, and bring her hairdressing scissors. It's going to be the most erotic haircut of Beth's life. |
 | Captivated By Jules Behrens (🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ Enemies to Lovers, Fair Tale, LGBTQ+ Gay) This queer retelling of "Beauty and the Beast" examines the value of beauty and the depths of loyalty. Prince Tyr is more than Bruin bargained for when he demanded King Alfric's son in payment of a life debt. Clever and resilient, Tyr doesn't shrink away from Bruin's grotesque appearance or the difficult life his people lead, and the power dynamic between them begins to flip. When Tyr is called away to what may be his father's death bed, Bruin has several choices before him, none of them good. |
