Playing with Fire - Black Orchid Book One Hitman × Escort × Informant Chicago has a club that rich people don't admit they visit. Black Orchid-velvet rooms, private rules, and a price for everything. Joong is the city's cleanest hitman. Quiet. Precise. Untouchable. The kind of man who doesn't threaten-he finishes. Dunk is Black Orchid's most dangerous escort. Not because he's soft. Because he's smart. He knows how to survive men who think money makes them gods. Then the police corner Dunk and turn him into a weapon: Get close to Joong. Get something real. No wires in a van. No interrogation room. Just silk sheets, controlled breaths, and questions asked with a smile. Joong keeps booking him anyway. Not because he trusts him-because he wants to know why. What follows isn't romance. It's a power game-slow, intimate, brutal. Joong tightening rules. Dunk learning how to bend them. Each meeting a test. Each touch a trap. And while they circle each other, Black Orchid rots from the inside: a new drug, corrupt money, and bodies that keep showing up "accidentally." Everyone is lying. Everyone is using someone. No one is innocent. This isn't a love story. It's a fire. And once you step into Black Orchid, you don't walk out untouched.

PondPhuwin | Dark Romance | Slowburn | Arranged Marriage | Black Flag × Black Flag | Obsession | Angst | 18+* In the glittering cage of Bangkok's elite, two heirs are forced into a marriage neither wants. Pond Naravit Lertratkosum - cold, calculating, the untouchable heir to an empire built on ruthless deals. He doesn't do love. He does control. Phuwin Tangsakyuen - sharp, unyielding, the quiet storm hiding behind perfect smiles. He doesn't beg. He breaks things that stand in his way. Their families merge fortunes to crush rivals and silence whispers of scandal. A contract is signed. A wedding is staged. And the rules are simple: - Keep up appearances. - Don't touch unless cameras are watching. - Never let it get personal. But rules shatter when obsession creeps in. Pond installs trackers "for security" and watches Phuwin's every move like a predator. Phuwin hacks the feeds and sends back proof he sees everything - including Pond's late-night secrets. Jealousy becomes a weapon: one brings home strangers to prove indifference, the other flirts in public just to watch the mask crack. They sabotage each other in boardrooms and bedrooms. Fake threats. Stolen sketches. Hidden photos. Bloody "rescues" that feel too real. Every fight ends with hands too close, breaths too shared, and words that cut deeper than knives. "I hate you," one whispers in the rain. "Good," the other replies. "Hate me harder." This isn't a love story. It's a war where surrender feels like victory, and possession is the only mercy they allow. Slow. Painful. Addictive. They won't back down. They'll burn each other first. **Warnings** ⚠️ - Extreme angst & emotional manipulation - Possessive/obsessive behavior (mutual) - Dark themes: psychological games, violence (not between mains), power imbalance - Intense smut (rough, consensual, delayed payoff) - Black-flag leads (no soft redemption arc) - 18+ only | Read at your own risk
