"You won't choke me when you come out, right?" She smiles, what a tease. "Stop it," I warn her.

𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟐 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐃𝐮𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 ╰─✦─╮ Everything we survived in the Dark Below was only the beginning. Killian is no longer just my protector. He is the next capo of the Bratva-the Russian mafia. And I... am no longer just a girl he keeps safe. I belong to him now, purchased because no one else would give me freely, bound by a promise, a bond, and the bloody past that shaped us. The world outside the Below is bigger, darker, and more dangerous than anything we imagined. Power, loyalty, and enemies lurk in every shadow. And now, we must navigate a life built on survival, trust, and the kind of love forged in fire and blood. But in a world this cruel, in a life built on secrets and sacrifices...why me? Why did he choose me to stand by his side, when everything we've gone through could have broken us? ╰─✦─╯

𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟏 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐃𝐮𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 ╰─✦─╮ I know the rules. Never speak. Never look. Never hope. The Dark Below Industry doesn't care about names, feelings, or who I used to be. Killian watches over me-not because he has to, but because he won't let anything happen to me. He cares...at least, I think he does. I hope he does. It's the only hope I have left in the Dark Below. The Handlers punish. The Observers watch. Some of those watches end in...being sold. We survive together. Not love-not yet-but in a world built to break us, that's enough. Even in the dark, some bonds refuse to be broken...and some secrets refuse to stay buried. ╰─✦─╯

C O M P L E T E D : 24/02/22 Sienna Callum was popular - scratch that - she was the queen of high school. She had tons of gorgeous friends wishing to be her, smoking hot flings, and an unbelievably trendy fashion sense. But, she needed one more thing. Decent grades to graduate. Roman Lawrence was a nerd - scratch that - THE nerd of high school. Yet, his exceptional intelligence made him stand out among those seeking to learn. He had one problem though, the girl he'd been crushing on since kindergarten didn't like him back. One of the reasons? His lack of experience.... sexually. This isn't boy meets girl. This is mouse meets vixen. This is what happens when these two opposites strike a deal and things get hot.

Completed • First Draft - not edited. || "You gonna sit there all night?" Luka glances at me, smirking. I glare back. "I was enjoying the last few seconds of peace before having to spend an evening pretending to like you." "That's funny," he says, unbuckling his seatbelt. "Why?" I snap. "Because I was thinking the same thing." || The rules? Easy enough. 1. Pretend to be the perfect couple. 2. Keep it professional. 3. And whatever you do, don't. catch. feelings. Simple, right? Sofia Calloway never planned on going viral for throwing a drink in Luka Mikhaylov's face. But one video, one pissed-off hockey star, and one furious university later... she's suddenly stuck in a fake relationship with the guy she can't stand. He needs to clean up his image before the NHL draft. She needs the free tuition that comes with the deal. All they have to do is smile for the cameras, hold hands at the games, and act like they don't want to strangle each other. Then come the late-night arguments that last too long. The stolen glances that feel too dangerous. The moment where "pretend" starts looking way too real. Because when you break the rules, someone's bound to lose. And this time, it might be both of them.

I've always known him...my best friend's older brother, Zane. Tall, impossibly handsome, weirdly he has always hid his tattoos from me and untouchable. I shouldn't notice him. I shouldn't want him. But every time we're in the same room, every accidental brush of his hand, every silent glance...I can't help it. When our worlds collide in one tiny apartment, everything I thought I knew about boundaries disappears. And suddenly, I'm learning that some love stories don't need words-they're written in silence. 𝐙𝐚𝐧𝐞'𝐬 𝐏𝐎𝐕... I can't speak, but I feel everything. Watching May has always been like standing too close to sunlight-warm, impossible to ignore, and just out of reach. Now we're forced together in the same apartment, and I can't hide what I feel any longer. Every glance, every touch, every unspoken moment is a risk...but I'd rather risk it than stay silent anymore. Between laughter, arguments, stolen moments, and quiet confessions, living together isn't easy...but it's a lot harder to ignore what's been there all along.

Maya applied pressure to my wound. I hissed from the pain. "Stop fucking around." She rolled her eyes at me. Maya finished tending my wound, wrapping it with a bandage. As she got up to put the first aid away, I stopped her. My thumb rubbed against the cool skin of her hand. I pulled her to sit on my lap. My fingers ran through her hair. "You're doing it again." I ignored her, sinking my chin into her shoulder. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I placed small pecks on neck. Her breathing turning heavy. "Stop. Someone could walk in." "And? You think they want to watch? Shit, I would." _____________________________________ ~Maya Castillo~ Escaping her traumatic past, Maya and her brother, Santiago, run to New York.
