He hummed, amused. I was growing impatient. "I want you to have sex with me. Whenever I want. For as long as I want." I furrowed my brows. "Seriously?" He stepped closer, our bodies dangerously close to one another. "Seriously." He tilted his head. "A non-committal, strictly sexual relationship." His eyes were trained on my lips. "Fuck buddies." His eyes found mine again. I reached behind me slowly for the gun. "I haven't even had sex with you, how do I know if you're good or not?" He leaned down, his lips ghosting over mine. My breath was stuck in my throat. "Why don't we find out?" ●○●○ Spotify Playlist: delicate - Lexi ○●○● WARNINGS: - Alcohol - Sex - S/A -Suicide and self-harm / mentions of suicide and self-harm - Violence ●○●○ You are loved, and you don't deserve to suffer, especially not alone.

After Bonnie Bennett's betrayal, Kai Parker has been lost-alone in the 1903 prison world, haunted by silence and fury. But when a fading magical source threatens the balance of Mystic Falls, a reluctant team must retrieve it... and face the monster they left behind. Clara Marlowe, a gifted but untested student at the Salvatore School, is drawn into the mission by Caroline Forbes. She's never met Kai, only heard his name whispered in warning-but soon, she finds herself face-to-face with him, in a world frozen in time and full of ghosts. As tensions rise and trust is scarce, Clara must navigate secrets, shadows, and a dangerous connection she never saw coming. Because in the prison world, nothing is ever truly forgotten... and not everyone wants to be saved.

{BOOK 1} of the Anchored Series A year ago, Kayla Gilbert lost her first love, Levi Mikaelson - thanks to Damon Salvatore's very on-brand habit of ruining lives. She finally started to heal... until the Other Side collapsed. Acting as a temporary Anchor, Kayla helped her dead friends return to life. She was supposed to let go after that. Easy in, easy out. Except she couldn't. And when the Other Side finally crumbled, it dragged her down with it - only to spit her out somewhere completely unexpected. Now she's stuck in a dangerous new reality with none other than Kai Parker: a scrambled-pancakes-loving sociopath who thrives on chaos and snark. But as secrets are uncovered and old scars are ripped open, Kayla learns that not everything (or everyone) stays good for long. And surviving this might mean choosing between what's right... and who she can't let go of. --- Most impressive rankings #3 in chriswood {2025 September 14, Sunday} #1 in Chris wood {2025 September 15, Monday}
