It's been a year since Cüneyd and Zeynep got married and Cüneyd started therapy. They both want more from their marriage of convenience, but don't know how to approach it. Cüneyd is touch starved and is ready to feel touch from someone whom he trusts the most, his wife, Zeynep. Told in both POVs and it gets pretty steamy! I don't own these characters but I do own this work. Minors, please avoid! I used therapy methods to fit the story that might not necessarily be in affect anymore nor are they the best way to overcome touch aversion and trauma. Please take care of yourselves! UPDATE: Sooo, hi!!! I am aliveeee! Apologies it took me so long to get the conclusion out! I had stopped watching the show while still loving CünZey. I now bestow upon you the conclusion that was much asked about! Hope you enjoy! please keep in mind this is the culmination of their pent up *ermmm* sexual tension and it really gets intense, so please if you're a minor, please stay away. Trigger warning: the new chapters do have some pseudo somnophilia and ass play. So pls take care of yourselves!

Mila Rose Carter runs Honeycrumb Bakery on a quiet Chicago street. She's five foot one, chronically covered in flour, and perfectly content measuring her life in teaspoons and timers. Caleb Rhodes measures his in arenas and scoreboards. He's an NBA All-Star. Six foot three. Defensive powerhouse. Famous enough that strangers think they know him. When Caleb ducks into Honeycrumb one cold afternoon, Mila doesn't recognize him. She doesn't ask for photos. She doesn't flirt. She doesn't look at him like he's something larger than life. And for the first time in years, he feels normal. But Chicago is loud. The league is louder. And when Mila finds out who he really is, she starts shrinking in ways she swore she never would. Because loving someone whose world is that big? Feels dangerous. And Caleb Rhodes has never wanted anything more than the girl who stands on a step stool and pretends she's fine.

He called her his. His ol' lady. His wife. Property of Clutch. Rebecca "Bex" Pierce never belonged to anyone. She chose him. She stood beside him. She wore his patch with pride. Until the night he chose wrong. When a lie tears through the Dawnbreakers MC, loyalty turns toxic and pride turns cruel. In front of his brothers, in front of the clubhouse, Clutch does the one thing Bex never thought he would. He doesn't hit her. He doesn't cheat. He just doesn't believe her. And if he doesn't believe her? Then the patch means nothing. So she takes it off herself. Throws it at his feet. And walks away from the only life she's ever known. No protection. No club. No husband. The fallout fractures the Dawnbreakers from the inside out. Secrets unravel. Brothers fall. The club reforms. But the woman he lost? She isn't waiting to be claimed again. If Clutch wants his wife back, he won't just have to apologize. He'll have to rebuild everything he broke. Publicly. Relentlessly. Without expecting forgiveness. Because this time, she isn't property of anyone. Not even him. This story was born inside the Grovel & Betrayal Facebook group during a live "build-a-book" day. You asked for: • Public humiliation • Believed-the-wrong-person betrayal • Nuclear heartbreak • A man who has to earn her back And as I was reading your comments, one character kept echoing in my head. Clutch. You met him in Unlawful Hearts. You saw the quiet weight he carried. You heard him whisper to Remi. You watched him stand in the fire with the Dawnbreakers. This is his story. Welcome back to the Redemption Road world, this is within the same timeline as Unlawful Hearts.
