It's a cuffin' season.

To get a big boy (Big boy), I need a big boy (Big boy)
I want a big boy~~
The Western music sung by SZA titled I Need A Big Boy accompanied Audrey's trip in a public transportation car in Jakarta.
The woman who had just finished high school was searching for job vacancies in Jakarta. Audrey was stopped by a public transportation car in front of a famous company with dozens of floors.
"Huh...."
Audrey exhaled slowly for a moment before actually stepping into the company. Audrey tried to find her luck there because she submitted files to meet the company's criteria. She always got rejected. Again and again.
"I'm sorry, Ma'am, here the company requires a bachelor's degree while your CV states that you are only a high school graduate. Although your grades are satisfactory, you don't have any experience. I am very sorry, you cannot be accepted here. Thank you for coming," a woman said kindly.
Audrey let out a rough breath. She went back outside to stare intently at her file. Audrey had been to many companies, but they had yet to yield any results.
She was exhausted and put her butt on one of the benches in the middle of the park. She was Enjoying the gentle breeze on her smooth face.
At the same time, Audrey's gaze suddenly fell on a teenager standing, looking left and right without caring about the danger that threatened him.
"God... what's wrong?"
The siren of the car owner did not pull the boy out of his coma. The boy still stood there like his legs couldn't move from there. "Search!"
Several women and nearby pedestrians were shocked by what happened. Fortunately, Audrey could pull the boy quickly so he was not injured. Still a little surprised by what had happened, Audrey immediately checked the boy's condition in front of her.
"I'm fine. You can open your eyes now," Audrey said. Hesitantly, the handsome boy opened his eyes and looked around. He exhaled suddenly, and then the little man pressed lightly against his chest. The handsome man's breath seemed irregular in his mouth, which must have startled Audrey a little.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you breathing so hard? Is there anything I can help you with?" Audrey asked to find something to help the handsome man with her. "Rasya is fine. It's just a shock. Can I get you a drink?" The boy named Rasya spoke quietly, gently holding Audrey's hand.
"Thank God you're okay, so you stay here, wait, and don't go anywhere. I'll buy you a drink. Rest here for a while."
"Okay, sister."
The little man there smiled at Audrey, who had moved slightly away from him.
"You are so beautiful and kind," Rasya whispered. Audrey went to a small convenience store not far away. She bought mineral water to give the sweet, handsome guy over there.
"Sorry it took me so long to get you a drink. Drink it first."
"Thank you very much," Rasya said softly, taking the bottle from Audrey's hand.
"Please."
Audrey gives Rasya a drink, only to find out why the handsome guy must go out alone.
"What are you doing alone on the street?" Why don't you have anyone with you? It's dangerous to be alone like that." Audrey firmly asked in a low voice, causing the handsome man to shut his mouth.
Rasya could only lower her head; the five-year-old heard the question from Audrey's mouth and almost cried.
Seeing Rasya's glazed eyes, Audrey immediately sat down in front of the boy and squeezed his hand. "Little brother, if my words scared you, I'm sorry. I was asking. I don't know if I can take you to see your parents. They must be looking for you."
"Did you want to help Rasya get home? I was playing with the cat, but the cat ran away, so I chased it. Suddenly, I was here. I feared Dad would be angry because I wasn't in his office.
"Kid? Where do you live?"
"I forgot his name, but Papa is there. I'm afraid Papa is angry... Sis... Help Rasya get back to Papa's office..." the little boy whined, confused Audrey.
"Rasya, do you remember the name of Papa's office? Because you can only help if you know the name. There are many offices in Jakarta. It will be difficult to find them."
"I'm forgot, Hiku... Hiku... Papa..."
"Oh my God, how can I help you? Well, let's find public transportation first. Then help Lasha find Papa Rasha's office."
"Um..." the boy nodded and smiled happily behind a face Audrey couldn't see. Audrey still wore her white and black dress to the interview but finally decided to drive a handsome boy named Rasha to find her parents' office.
"Sir, please stop!" Rasya shouted at the driver as they pulled up to a tall, towering building that belonged to a beauty company with hundreds or even thousands of employees. Anyone who entered was among the lucky ones.
Audrey paused momentarily as she stood directly in front of the company, then stopped Lasha, crouched down in front of him, and gently stroked the back of his hand.
"Kid, I'll take you here. Rasha knows where to go. Should she have the guards help her find her parents?" proposed Audrey.
Rasha, hearing this, could only shake his head.
"You don't need to ask the security guards for help. Papa Rasya is the CEO of this company. They must all know Rasya," Rasya replied innocently.
"Huh?! I'll help you find Papa and Mama. What's his name, dear?"
Audrey, who felt that the little boy's words were somewhat incoherent, finally quickly looked for a way to find Rasya's parents.
"Just look for William Permana."
"W-William Permana?" asked Audrey, slightly shocked.
"Yes, William Permana, this is my dad."
At the same time, the man Rasya called Papa came out in a panic to find his son. The steps of the CEO of King Rasya Company stopped when he heard a familiar voice.
"Papa......" Rasya called back loudly.
"Raya......"
Rasya rushed into his father's arms when he arrived. William worried about his only child, hugged Rasya tightly.
"Thank God, son, you finally met the security guard!" William called out to the guard with such force that several guards approached the big boss.
"Yes sir, what is it?"
"Arrest that woman!" William shouted, pointing at Audrey.
Audrey was only confused by the order from the father of the boy she had helped. The two guards who had been given the order immediately cuffed Audrey's hands.

I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected.

I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.
The War God Alpha's Arranged Bride
Yet Alexander made his decision clear to the world: “Evelyn is the only woman I will ever marry.”
Invisible To Her Bully
My Possessive Alpha Twins For Mate
My drunk stepfather remained indifferent, his weight suffocating, making it hard to breathe as my heart raced.
Suddenly, the door slammed open, and two figures burst in.
"Get off her!" a deafening roar echoed.
I didn't expect the twin brothers who'd bullied me at school to come charging in like gods to save me.
After my grandmother passed, I had to move in with my mom and stepdad, who treated me like a servant. I prayed every day for my 18th birthday to come, so l could leave and escape this broken home.
However, on my first day at my new school, l encountered the legendary twins everyone feared.
To make matters worse, the Moon Goddess revealed they were both my mates!
After helping me out with my stepdad, my twin mate cornered me, played with my hair, and whispered possessively, "You belong to us, our little mate..."
Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.
The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
