A more than difficult display of love..... kind, patient- yet conflicted and uncomfortable. The Soft Ache Of Kinidy And Bailey. PART OF THE OTHERWORLDLY SERIES, IN CONNECTION TO IMPERFECTIONATE

Ephemeral adjective "lasting for a very short time." Just as Gabriel so happened to come across a new café, he met Iesha. It felt like all those draining years were ephemeral. From that moment on, he couldn't take his eyes off of her.

Lilith Hawthrone is a 20 year old psychology student with a complicated heart and more issues than she likes to admit. She feels too much, thinks too hard, and often drowns in the weight of her own empathy. She's curious, emotionally intense, and carries unresolved wounds especially the kind only a mother can leave behind. Valentina Salvatore is a 30 year old CEO. She's mastered control in every aspect of her life, her sharp mind cutting through complexity to build an empire. Beneath the polished exterior, however, is a woman who loves obsessively but is careful with her love, not wanting to waste it on the wrong person. She's learned to guard her heart, waiting for someone worthy of the intensity she's capable of. Where Lilith is all feelings and chaos, Valentina is order, control, and calculated precision. They come from different worlds, with different rhythms, but what if that's exactly why they fit?

Sier. Fiery. Known as the "angry black woman". Feisty. Just wants someone to see past that. Kyan. A man a few words. A yearner. He sees her. He wants. He needs.

Luca's eyes follow my movements, my tongue darts out of my mouth to lick the portion that sticks out of his boxers. He groans and sucks his bottom lip into his mouth. "You want everything to disappear?" I question, not expecting to get an answer from him and not giving him enough time to think up a reply. Then I yank his boxers down his thighs causing him to jump and kick the thin fabric off, spreading his legs, one hanging off the couch and the other flat against the back cushions. "Fine. I'll make you forget you were ever married." ♭ Reinara Viserra, a rising star in the music industry, exuded confidence and dominance in every move she made. But that's what charmed people. They want to know more but are too afraid to initiate conversation and with her skyrocketing musical career, people are drawn to her, male and female alike. She's always been dominant and she's always gone for what she wants. Even if it's not hers to take. Luca Valentine, a seemingly innocent and naive young man.but innocence doesn't mean clueless. At least not to this boy. He's quite the opposite of Reinara, he doesn't know what he wants nor does he have enough confidence to go for it. He's never been confident or known how to stand up for himself. Especially against his wife. A woman who will stop at nothing for him and a man who couldn't take a hint even if it hit him with a train.

But when his sister's best friend comes one day he immediately falls for her kindness. 𝐌𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐘 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐍 cold but outgoing. She smiles through the pain. She's given many tries at love but never succeeded. She always thought the universe was telling her she wasn't meant for love. She was the devil. She's killed. She's not even close to an angel. She was a dominant looking for someone to love. Yet she doesn't look like a very appealing person to talk to. Tattoos covered her body and tall with resting bitch faces. But her best friend's little brother seemed to be attracted to her. She was the devil. He was an angel. It was so sinful. But he wanted it. She was 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒚 𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒍 (𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝)
