"In a world where touch is regulated, pleasure is monitored, and desire is a crime, two broken souls dare to disobey." Selene Varn is a model citizen-respected psychologist, loyal enforcer of the state's Purity Contract, and a woman with no visible cracks. But beneath her perfect record lies a hunger she's never dared name-a hunger for dominance, pain, surrender, and the kind of intimacy no regulation can sanitize. Then she meets Aras-a former underground artist, exiled and emotionally uncorrected. Aras doesn't just break the rules. He devours them. And when Selene is assigned to assess him for psychological rehabilitation, their sessions become something far more dangerous: a battle of glances, breath, bruises, and awakening. What begins as a clinical interview becomes an unraveling. A ritual. A reckoning. As their connection deepens, Selene must decide: Stay obedient... or taste the chaos of being truly alive. ⚠️ This story contains mature themes including BDSM, power exchange, psychological kink, consensual violence, public acts, and emotional degradation. Read with care. Not a love story. A need story. Not soft. But intimate. Not safe. But true.
