If I Catch You

by Emily Shacklette

All I wanted was one night.
One night of fun.
One night of depravity.
One night to lean into my baser instincts.
I knew that I'd have to run.
I never thought he'd be the one trying to catch me.

Saxon y Brandon son amigos desde la infancia y roommates.
Saxon anda en busca de una experiencia diferente en el ámbito sexual. Así que aprovecha una fiesta/casa-embrujada de Halloween, que casualmente se llevará a cabo en un sex club misterioso.
Brandon decide acompañarla, para que Saxon no vaya a terminar en el lado equivocado de la fiesta. Cual va siendo su sorpresa cuando descubre sus verdaderas intenciones. 😂


Esta historia se lee en un momento.
No fue la cosa espectacular pero estuvo entretenida. 👌
Esa portada no da las vibras correctas. 🤭

But my body? That horny little slut was ready to run, to hide, to be wrestled to the ground.

This is "just" a short story. BUT it's full of k!inky 🌶️ and also cute 🩷
Saxon the Goth Girl and Brandon the Golden Boy. But their chemistry is soo extreme 💥💥💥

I prefer enemies to lovers over friends to lovers, but I love the aspect of fear of losing your best friend in this trope. And Saxon isn't just afraid of losing Brandon because of her feelings, but also because of her very k!nky fantasies 😎

It's difficult for me to write a review for short stories or novellas. I don't want to spoil it. So, I try to keep it short 😎

Would I have loved to have it as a full-length novel? Definitely. Do I think it would be better? Not sure. It just hit what needed to hit. And it didn't feel that short, to be honest 😁

If you love Halloween and love it k!nky, you need to read this story!!!

If loving this is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

Perfect Darkish Short Story

🖤Short Story
🖤Best Friends to Lovers
🖤It’s Always Been You
🖤Kink Exploration
🖤CNC
🖤Primal Play

OMG!!! I just finished this surprise release! A short story that takes place on Halloween and includes some darker kink was perfection! It is approximately 50 pages so it does’t have substantial plot but what is there includes Emily’s typical spice and sweet emotion. This little tease makes me desperate for her to write a full length dark romance! I will be the first in line to read it!!

“I ruin you, I put you back together.”

Sweet, tender, and hot as hell, Shacklette somehow nails all three speeds in this bite sized novella. The perfect spicy read to get in the spooky spirit. Grab a PSL and this book and you’re good to go for a night in.

“I ruin you, I put you back together.” Brendon is my new book boyfriend, and I don’t use that term lightly!

This was amazing and filthy and I absolutely loved it. I am freaking foaming at the mouth. Omg.

The angel and the devil on either shoulder of this novella gives the best twisty feelings. We have the most compatible best friends to lovers and then the spiciest CNC/primal romp in the woods. This is what dreams are made of.

When friends to lovers takes a DAAAARK turn.
For lovers of Haunting Adeline and anyone who loves a good romcom friendship (but darker), I recommend!

Short and sweet with the perfect amount of 🥵. I love a golden retriever with a dark side. And who doesnt want to be chased through the woods by a hot man in a mask!?!?
