Inked Stories

Book One of the Shadowed Skin Series ​Maya lives in the margins of her own life, a carefully constructed world of silence and safety. But that world is being dismantled, piece by piece, by a man who shouldn't exist. Malachi Roux doesn't just enter a room; he materializes-a 6'2" phantom of heavy muscle and ancient ink. He is the shadow that lingers too long, the random apparition in her rearview mirror, a biker king whose predatory silence screams a single word: mine. ​When Maya steps into his sanctuary-a dimly lit tattoo parlor thick with the scent of green soap and the rhythmic, hypnotic buzz of the needle-the trap snaps shut. She thought she was the artist, that her needle was the only thing claiming his skin. She was wrong. ​In a moment of raw, breathless surrender, Malachi demands his brand. Etched in a sharp, thorned script across her chest, grazing the swell of her cleavage, is the Latin vow that binds her to the throne of his wreckage: ​"Mea Regina. Meus Ignis. Hic ad vindicandum." (My Queen. My Fire. Here to claim.) ​As the needle bites into her skin, the pain is a ritual. It isn't just ink; it's an invitation into his ruin. Malachi leans over her, his baby-blue eyes dazed and focused, whispering the truths that will haunt her: ​"Mon enfer a ton nom." (My hell has your name.) ​"Cor meum est carcer tuus." (My heart is your prison.) ​"I don't want your 'yes.' I want the 'no' that dies in the back of your throat when I touch you." ​As a hidden danger from his biker world closes in, Malachi's intensity becomes a cage she no longer wants to escape. She is the altar he worships on, the woman he stalked from the shadows just to bring into his light. Maya must decide if she will run from the flame, or let the man who branded her burn her down just to rebuild her in his image. ​"Her needle. My skin. A cage? We both chose."

Inked minds, imprints the souls It's all a mess, what the heart beholds. Drop by drop the ink flows, From letters to paragraphs, maybe even a prose. We feel so much, are able to write down so little, leaves us feeling as low as such.

"There is no way to be truly great in this world. We are all impaled on the crook of conditioning." -James Dean. the book contains many of my personal random thoughts which may sound a bit too morbid for some and relatable for a few. any of these aren't copied from some web sites and I would appreciate if they're not reproduced and used somewhere else. -sia.

In Amy Jefferson's world, art is a way of life. She'll find a way to draw anywhere possible; paper, worksheets, whiteboards, even her own skin. She's always got a pen on her, trying to put it to good use. She'll even try her best to beautify the markings that show up on her skin out of nowhere... The marks that her soulmate draws on himself. Casper is a normal boy. Not boring, just normal. He plays baseball, gets by in school, and scribbles a thing or two on his skin if he's bored or needs to remember something. He'll even draw occasionally. He was always taught that anything he writes on his skin will appear on his soulmate's skin, and vice versa. He really hopes she doesn't mind. Little do Casper and Amy know that their pens' ink will bring them together.
