.✦ ── Every rule broke the moment their mouths met. 𝗖𝗥𝗔𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚 ∘ 𝗡𝗢𝗨𝗡 ↴ ↳ The ache that starts in the mind and ends in the body. A hunger wrapped in danger-sweet, reckless, and ruinous. You know it's wrong, and that's why it tastes so right. ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ .✦ ── 𝑰𝑵 𝑾𝑯𝑰𝑪𝑯. . . Valeria De Martel is always running-new schools, new faces, new wounds. When her father sends her to live with an aunt in Valemont, it almost feels safe-until Genevieve's new husband turns their home into a quiet hell. One night, bruised and desperate, Valeria flees into the dark... and straight into Adeline Torrisi. Days later, Adeline stands at the front of Valeria's classroom-her professor now, not her savior. Cold, brilliant, and impossible to ignore. What begins as punishment spirals into something forbidden: glances that linger too long, silence that hums with danger. Between them grows a desire sharp enough to wound and tender enough to ruin. In Adeline's ordered world, Valeria is the chaos she can't contain. And when control finally breaks, what remains isn't comfort-it's fire. Because love like this doesn't heal. It consumes. ✰ ✰ ✰ (Fanfictional)
