I don't even know if I'm begging him to stop or continue. ❝You asked for this.❞ He grunts, filling me up in one hard thrust, his hand flexing on my neck. ❝So be a good girl and see how deep I am.❞ ━━━━━━━ Lucy is the perfect example of sunshine and warmth. Rafaelle is the perfect example of gloominess and iciness. A professor and a student. Complete opposites. But it's common knowledge that opposites attract. ━━━━━━━ She traces my tattooed covered scar, a small smile on her lips. "I love this particular tattoo." Lucy compliments, lifting her head to look up at me. "That tattoo is older than you darling." ━━━━━━━ grumpy × sunshine trope has never been so good.

This book contains mature themes "And there Vincent was, between my legs, licking me senseless. His eyes were crazed, like he was about to devour me. Just the thought of that push me closer to my finish." She was never meant to see his work. He was never meant to let anyone in. Jade's life is loud, curated, and easy on the surface. Art class is just another requirement - until she's paired with Vincent Calder, the quiet boy who disappears into empty rooms and draws like he's stripping people bare. What starts as tutoring turns into something far more dangerous: being truly seen. Vincent doesn't draw what people want to show. He draws what they hide. And when Jade stumbles across the side of his art no one else has ever seen, the lines between subject and artist begin to blur. Slow burn. Intimate tension. Unspoken desire. This is a story about restraint, vulnerability, and the moment you realise someone is looking at you differently than anyone ever has before. Updates twice weekly!
