Calix Drea Malfoy has always known how to keep a secret. Raised in luxury and pure-blood tradition, she learns early how to smile, how to obey, and how to hide the parts of herself that do not belong in her world-Muggle music, forbidden books, and doubts she never dares to name. Regulus Black has been there for as long as she can remember. At family gatherings, in stolen moments, and in the quiet spaces where words feel riskier than silence. Over the years, friendship turns into understanding, and understanding into something neither of them is ready to confront. At Hogwarts, surrounded by expectations, bruises left unspoken, and futures already being planned for them, Calix begins to realize how unprepared she truly is. Unprepared to challenge her family. Unprepared to choose differently. Unprepared to admit that the person she trusts most may also be the one she cannot afford to love. Some bonds are formed slowly. Some break everything when they finally surface. All Harry Potter characters belong to the author J.K. Rowling. I only own my characters and their story

I Think I Love Myself?! is a coming-of-age story told through a collection of journals about love, written by a first-generation immigrant and eldest daughter (the elusive N.R.M.). Each entry ladders back to the question we all wrestle with at some point: I love myself... well, I think I love myself?! Loving yourself sounds obvious. We're told to love others as we love ourselves, but love is a question mark and an exclamation point, sometimes at the same time. Each journal in my larger collection captures a conversation with every version of myself (past and present), from 14 year old me to 29 year old me. Chapter Outline: 1. Genesis 2. High School Years 3. Undergraduate Years 4. Postgraduate Years 5. Mid-to-late 20s

"Care to play?" I asked, dangling a pair of handcuffs from my finger. He arched a brow at me as I fastened one of the rings around his wrist and threaded the toy through a slat in his headboard. "Just say no, and we can stop all of this right now," I continued. But he didn't. Instead, he raked his gaze over my body with an unbridled hungry desire. He had never stared at me so fervently before, but it was everything I had yearned for and instantly made me wet for him. As I locked up his other hand, I pouted at him. "This is the punishment you get for making me want you," I purred. Then straddling his hips, I slid my hand inside my panties and began touching myself. "Mm, that feels so good," I sighed, stroking my fingers around. Glancing up, I found him intently watching me, an expression of dark arousal upon his face. He bit his lip, and I could feel his excitement growing beneath me as he writhed against his restraint. It was all the confirmation I needed that he was finally mine to do with exactly as I pleased.
