This is a tentative work in progress, coming along gently in its roughest form. You are welcome to walk with these characters as they grow, change, and blossom through each scene.

This is an original work of the imagination. All characters, locations, and events occur within fiction and do not represent or reflect reality in any way. In case some similarity occurs, they are simply coincidental whispers and not intentional reflections.

Special thanks to Kai (@nomkakaii) for the stunning cover art-a visual elegance that gives life to the spirit of this story.

This space is a sanctuary, built with care. Act kindly and respectfully within it. These characters are near and dear to my heart, so please do not link to or quote any part of them without permission. Constructive comments are appreciated; disruptive conduct may cause me to quietly relocate the offender in order to protect our community.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘆:

It is a mature theme story 18+ with sensitive contents weaved into the tale. Read with care, compassion, and take time to rest if needed. Your well-being is important here always.

Thanks so much for sharing this journey with me. Your presence means the world. - Ryeji

Their love was a dangerous game; tempting, intoxicating, and impossible to resist, even though it burned with the heat of guilt and forbidden desire.
