Soulmates. The idea seems impossible to some - how could there be a person you're destined to be with? Two souls created at the same time, never to be parted. Not everyone has a soulmate, but those that do are created with a way to identify them. The most rare forms are telepathy - they can communicate through thoughts in their minds. Some communicate through skin. Others feel their soulmate's pain. More commonly given are rings. The ring expands with age and adjusts to fit any finger comfortably. It never falls off and can only be removed when the wearer is in a calm, level-headed mood. Clara Hughes was one of those born with a ring. Clara Hughes believed in soulmates. And every day, when she sifted through files on her computer at work, her mind drifted back to the one that was to complete her. Her goal was to find him. No matter what she had to do, she would find him - and then she would leave the pain of SHIELD behind forever.

All he could think about was Ali's petite body pressed between his and the book shelves, her soft legs wrapped round his waist as he fucked her. His large hand covering her mouth as she tried not to scream his name like she loved doing. Like he loved her doing. She was a drug he couldn't get enough of. --- Start: 24th/July/2021 Complete: 21st/Feb/2022
