Recs if you like Prey for Me...
Forearms are sexy
I started keeping a list on my phone every time I caught a character drooling over the love interest's forearms and now I am sharing my findings with the world! I shall continue to conduct this important groundbreaking research for the sake of all mankind . Looking for collaborators! If you find any mentions of sexy forearms in your books, I would love to add it!
Note: Inclusion in this list doesn't mean I loved the book, strangely, some of these books are my lowest rated reads. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
god forbid their fav accessory is a hand necklace
diamonds? never heard of her. these books feature all things hand(s) on neck romanceโchoking, breath play, asserting dominanceโall in the name of pleasure !
your neck ๐ค their hand(s)
When he washes or braids her hair
Thereโs just something about a love interest washing or braiding someone's hair that gets me every single time ๐ฅน
When the MMC c*ms in his pants
self explanatory
who did this to you | who hurt you
tortured/traumatised MCs where the love interest endeavours to eliminate the root cause of their trauma by any means necessary (some may eventuate in death) โ๏ธ protective mode, activated โ๏ธ
โ ๏ธ CHECK YOUR TRIGGERS
on the edge of more than just your seat
romance books with orgasm denial and edging ๐ข
giving up control to make the pleasure last longer + feel more intense OR as punishment ๐โโ๏ธ MF / MM / RH ; the whole gang is here!!
remember, whatever you do: donโt ! come ! ๐ฅต
These men sure like to keep a souvenir ๐ฉฒ๐
Books where an MMC steals the underwear of his obsession ๐ Are they merely a trophy? Or does he use them for โจsolo-adventuresโจ? Does he do it secretly or does he tease his partner with it? Time shall tellโฆ
Seriously? In THIS economy?! I know, I know, but who can resist a man who is that down bad ๐คญ๐ (also he better buy new panties after)
I havenโt read every single book on this list yet, so please correct me if I am wrong somewhere. As always, book recs are always very welcum ๐ฆ๐
Spit on that thing
These romance books include spit play, but it definitely doesnโt stop there. Drinks and cum also make plenty of appearances. ๐๐ฆ
Running for pleasure
Who knew cardio could be this much fun? ๐คญ These books include different levels of primal play scenes. Make sure to check your triggers!
