Christina. I swear I hate him. Ethan Carter with his stupid dimples and neat black hair, always sitting in the front row like the professor personally adopted him. He writes everything down, color-codes it, breathes it. Meanwhile, I'm in the back, half-awake, half-bored, living for the chaos of anything but lectures. And yet he watches me. Not in the judgmental way everyone else does. Not like I'm a disaster waiting to happen. His brown eyes are steady, calculating, almost amused. Like he knows something I don't. We got paired for the semester. Same goddamn dorm room. Of course we did. The universe loves tormenting me. But he didn't flinch. He just smiled slightly, dimples showing, like he was the one entertained. He thinks he can fix me. That's cute. What he doesn't know is I don't want fixing. Still... when he leans over my desk, lowering his voice so only I can hear, telling me exactly what I'm going to do and when, something tight coils in my stomach. I hate that I listen. I hate that I want to. Ethan. Christina Emerson is chaos in human form. Dirty blonde hair never brushed the same way twice. Gray eyes that challenge everything. She pretends not to care about anything, especially not me. But she notices me. She notices when I don't look at her. She notices when I do. Everyone thinks I'm boring. The quiet nerd. The safe one. They don't see the way I study people the same way I study books. Christina is reckless, but she's not stupid. She just runs from effort the way others run from fear. And she runs from me. I don't try to change her. I just corner her with expectations. Deadlines. Eye contact that lasts a second too long. She rolls her eyes, calls me names under her breath. Yet she shows up. Late, dramatic-but she shows up. Her breath stuttered. She does hate me. She just hates that I see through her. And I'm patient. Very patient.

Alyssa Hayes has always lived a quiet, steady life. At twenty-five, she's married to her college sweetheart, Ethan - the man she's loved for six years and built her future around. They've been married for two years and they've spent over a year trying to start a family, but his constant deployments and her fertility struggles have kept that dream out of reach. Still, Alyssa stays hopeful. Ethan is due home in just one month. One month until they can focus on what she wants. A child. One she's longed for. But everything shatters the moment she opens her door to two uniformed officers. Ethan is gone. Killed on the frontlines. And the future she held onto with both hands disappears with him. Drowning in grief, strained by her in-laws' blame and cruelty, Alyssa retreats into herself - until Rafael Carter comes home from service. Ethan's best friend. Alyssa's once-closest confidant. Someone who knew Ethan better than anyone alive. The man who enlisted with Ethan. Seeing him again brings a comfort she didn't expect. A reminder that she isn't completely alone. But after a vicious encounter with her in-laws, Alyssa makes a desperate, unthinkable request - one born from heartbreak, longing, and the last fragile piece of a dream she refuses to let die. She asks Rafael for the one thing she and Ethan never got to have: a child. What will he say? What consequences will unfold? Can something born from grief ever lead to healing - or something deeper? There's only one way to find out. Read. Updates on Saturday and Tuesday. Rankings 🥇#infertile 🥇#dutyvsdesire

When our lips meet, fire spreads out through my body. It's not a gentle kiss. It's a desperate one, compounded by months of longing and pain. My hands tangle in his hair as his roam my body. Everywhere he touches me, I feel an electric tingle. Wanting to be closer to him, I slip my hand under his shirt to trace his sculpted chest and the planes of his stomach. He shivers in response and helps me slide the shirt up and over his head. Our contact is broken only for the barest second, which is still too long for me. I wrap my arms around his neck as his hands slide under my shirt to rest on my hips and pull me flush against him. I kiss him fiercely, all the pent up longing I've felt driving me to press myself as close to him as possible. River is only too happy to respond to my intensity, kissing me back just as passionately. One second, we're kneeling on the bed. The next, he's flipped us over so that I'm lying underneath him, exactly where I want to be.

She felt him leaning to her ear, picking up a different angle, his hand moving under her body to grab her breast like a possession, his thrusts fast and hard, his sweat bathing her skin. She came undone as loud as she could have been, pulling the sheets in her small fists, making a mess with her juices. He remained embedded, listening to her breathe, letting her come down from her high, waiting for her to realise what sin was she condoning, what parlous pleasure was she devouring.
