rise & grind
romance books featuring scenes of dry humping / grinding / frottage โ๏ธ if you thought this list has anything to do with coffee or getting money, i apologise (kinda)
dry humping as foreplay can be hotter than penetration and these MCs live up to it. bonus points if they get caught or have to stop before things go further ๐ so, jump on and take a (dry) ride, things are about to heat up (and possibly get wet)






Remember to breathe, damnit!
Books where someone, at some point, lets out a breath they didnโt know they were holding. I fully intend to update this every time I come across this line, but let me know which ones are missing in the comments!






pat my head and call me a good girl
romance books with particular interest in the MC saying iterations of โgood girlโ (kneeling is encouraged) - praise kink is explored in some titles.
these characters want to please their love interests by listening and following instructions. best paired with a good girl doing ๐ท๐ถ๐น things.
this list is for those that were A+, teachers pet students and are now adults that want to be told they are doing a good job in the bedroom โญ๏ธ this list is NOT in reference to animals
