Paula ist 18 Jahre alt und lebt schon länger mit dem Gefühl, dass sie in der großen Welt irgendwie nicht richtig reinpasst. Verantwortung, Schule, Stress - all das war ihr oft zu viel. Erst als sie auf Emily trifft, eine warmherzige Frau Anfang 30, entdeckt sie eine ganz neue Seite in sich: das Bedürfnis, einfach mal loszulassen und wieder klein zu sein. Emily wird ihre „Mommy" - und Paula darf endlich das Little sein, das tief in ihr geschlummert hat. Gemeinsam gestalten sie einen Alltag voller Geborgenheit, Regeln, Rituale, Windeln, Spielzeug - und Liebe (rein platonisch). Paula findet sich bald in einer neuen Welt wieder: mit Mittagsschläfchen, Schnullern, Malbüchern - und vielleicht sogar einem Kindergarten für andere Littles? Eine Geschichte über Vertrauen, Nähe und den Mut, sich selbst zu entdecken. Langsam, gefühlvoll, realistisch - ohne Zwang, ohne Sexualisierung.

Romana und Mertcan wachsen gemeinsam im Ghetto auf, getragen von einer Freundschaft, die stärker ist als jede Dunkelheit um sie herum. Doch Gewalt und Fehler reißen sie auseinander: Mertcan landet im Gefängnis, Romana beendet die Schule, zieht in ein fremdes Land und baut sich ein neues Leben auf. Jahre später tritt Mertcan wieder hinaus in die Freiheit gebrochen, aber mit einem Ziel: Romana wiederzufinden und sein Leben zurückzuholen. Doch die Narben der Vergangenheit stehen zwischen ihnen, und beide müssen entscheiden, ob ihre Verbindung stark genug ist, um all das zu überstehen. *PAUSIERT* _____________________________________ Ich romantisiere das Leben im Plattenbau nicht. Dieses Buch ist fiktiv aber vieles, was zwischen den Zeilen steht, basiert auf echter Realität. Auf dem, was viele fühlen, aber nie sagen. Auf dem, was hinter geschlossenen Türen passiert, wenn keiner mehr zuschaut. Leben im Block bedeutet nicht nur Beton und enge Wohnungen es bedeutet Armut, Angst, Wut, das Gefühl, übersehen zu werden. Es bedeutet, Dinge zu erleben, über die andere nur in Serien reden. Es bedeutet, früh erwachsen zu werden, obwohl man noch Kind ist. Ich will nicht zeigen, wie „cool" der Block ist ich will zeigen, wie schwer es ist, hier aufzuwachsen. Zwischen Sirenen und Stimmen, zwischen Familien, die alles versuchen, und Systemen, die dich trotzdem hängen lassen.

"Don't forget all the power I held too," I said to her, not once glancing away from her darkened stare, "The mess I made of you milaya..." I trailed off, tilting my head as I openly analyzed her face, "It was pathetic really." Sevan smiled almost sadistically in response, "The mess you made of me?" she repeated the words in full amusement, "I'm still standing.

I knew that he was able to speak, but whenever I was around it seemed that I was the only one speaking. He didn't seem to enjoy my presence, but then again that wouldn't be true given that he requested for me to host, on my day off. His eyes were not friendly, his jaw and lips that never smiled told me to always be on guard. I could always feel his eyes on me, and I know its him, or else my heart wouldn't be acting the way it was. ... And yet, here I am, patting down the wrinkles on my skirt, as his car approached the Jet. I was rather angry. It was my day off. I wasn't even on call.

"What are you thinking about mia cara" he asks me causing my thoughts to drift back to me kissing his jawline. "N-nothing" I stutter cursing myself at how breathy I sounded even to my own ears. I watch his mouth curl up into his trademark smirk quickly glancing over with an eyebrow raised. "Didn't seem like nothing when you were eye raping the side of my face mia cara" he responds almost mockingly trying to rile me up. Feeling bold and teasing, I open my mouth to share my thoughts. "Well if you must know, I was thinking about leaning over and placing a trail of feathery kisses along your jawline" I say nonchalantly pretending to examine my finger nails. I hear him suck in a breath and cursing before I feel him pullover on the side of the rode. "That's it" he whispers huskily turning off the engine and reaching his arm over to lift me off my seat. He places me on his lap and I shift around trying to get comfortable but I can tell my movements weren't helping. "God damn it mia cara, you're gonna be the death of me" he whispers, his Italian accent coming out as he smashed his lips on mine. The kiss was nothing but aggressive, our hunger and need for each other evident. His hands grip my hair and pull my head back slightly to give him better access to my mouth. I break away to catch my breath while I begin peppering kisses on his jawline grasping his hair and tugging his head back to get more access. I easily elicit a growl from him and I teasingly bite his neck slightly before pulling away completely. I attempt to get off his lap and back into my seat but his iron grip keeps me still. "Mia cara, will you be mine" he asks huskily, his face expressing his nervousness as well as hope. I smile from ear to ear before giving him a sweet peck. "Of course you idiot" I say smiling for ear to ear.
