They argue like enemies but touch like lovers. Sarai has better things to do than fall for a man like Casanova "Cas" King-cocky, aggravating, and way too fine for his own good. He's the walking definition of a headache, and she's made it her mission to avoid catching feelings... or catching him outside of their usual after-hours mistakes. To Cas, she was only supposed to be a point to prove. Something to conquer. To get under her skin-and maybe under her clothes. But somewhere between the late-night linkups and the petty arguments, she stopped being just a challenge. Now she's the prettiest problem he's ever had. They don't make sense. They don't play nice. But somehow, they can't stop coming back.

" I don't even like you like that." Her face scrunched up in disgust watching water drip from curls in his hair. " 'Cause you love me. Just like I love you." He retorted with a grin, disregarding the deflecting she was doing. --- They were two sides of the same city-until one move split them down the middle. Elijah and London were inseparable once, bonded by childhood summers, beat-up bikes, and secrets too deep for anyone else to know. Unfortunately, when Elijah's mom packed up and moved her family across Onyx to a rival neighborhood, everything changed. She always thought when she spoke to him again he would've changed like her. She was witty, sarcastic, and had a low tolerance, but he was still the same calm , sweet, cute boy with a heart the size of the sun. Some things haven't changed. Some things never change. The pull between them, the memories that still burn etched marks in their brain, and the words they never said out loud. In a world where loyalty can be life or death, and love isn't always enough to cross old lines, Elijah and London find themselves circling each other again. --- STARTED; MAY 26th, 2025 PUBLISHED JUNE 6th, 2025 FINISHED; SEPTEMBER 27th 2025

A rising rapper with a reckless charm and a hunger for something real, dealing with battles of his own, he's instantly drawn to August's eerie demeanor and the quiet storm that lingers behind her dark mysterious eyes.

With her past closing in and expectations pressing down, she must decide if she's willing to defy everything she's ever known for the chance at something dangerously real.
