Restraints Stories

This is not a story about what happens. It's about what almost does. At an Ivy League medical school, Isabelle Laurent is known as the Ice Queen-brilliant, distant, untouchable. No one gets close. No one stays. Alexander Whitmore was never supposed to be different. Charming, privileged, and infamous for never staying longer than a few weeks, he understands desire. What he doesn't understand, until Isabelle, is restraint. She believes he doesn't want her. He knows wanting her openly would destroy everything. So they choose the most dangerous thing instead: friendship. "The most dangerous thing about Alexander Whitmore was not his reputation, nor his charm, nor the power he would one day inherit. It was the fact that he never asked for anything from me, and somehow, without realizing it, I had begun to give him everything that mattered." Slow burn • Dual POV • Consent • Emotional intimacy

Or will they be able to acknowledge the emotions they refuse to name? (cttro for the pic.)

Leila, A 16 year old girl has a struggling life as it is and she thinks it can't be any worse, but all things turn when her family goes missing and she gets kidnapped by an unknown stranger...

You wake up in the morning, the sun shining through the window, or whatever the hell you call that hole in the corner of the walls. You look around the room, the light grey walls slightly illuminated by the slight amount of sun shining through the 'window.' The few pieces of furniture you have are all dark shades of grey; nothing decorates the dresser, only a lone calendar on the wall above it, even that in shades of grey. Nothing colorful save for yourself and the slight amounts of sun. You haven't been outside for years; you don't remember what it's like to talk to another person, or what people look like. You barely know what you look like. All you know is that, you're underweight, but with a slight build (you spend most of your time working out, trying to stay fit to make you feel alive), and too tall for your bed. You have no idea what color your hair is, it's too short to see, and you have no mirrors. The slot at the bottom of the door opens slightly, and you just barely glimpse shining black shoes when the slot is closed again. Your breakfast is now in front of the door. Laid out on a tray is your normal breakfast. An apple, glass of water, and what can only be described as mush, and a spoon to eat with. Immediately you notice something different, tucked underneath the bowl was a note. You carefully slide the paper out and unfold it. Inside written in simple handwriting is the word: Soon.

Before Capri. Before the lemon tree. Before the line is crossed. In Paris, Philippe Dubois prepares to leave his wife and infant son for what should be an unremarkable business trip. What lingers instead is the sense of a life held together by precision, habit, and restraint, on the brink of a miscalculation that will change everything.

After moving to Tokyo, Japan on an emotional whim due to the death of her grandmother, Rishima Aragi starts to consider herself one of the unluckiest girls at her school. Maybe it's due to the fact that people at school plot devious shit all the time which involve her being the target, or maybe because she is always broke, or... maybe it's due to fact that no matter where she runs to, she can never fully become detached from her apartment complex, including the creepily charming dudes that reside in it. After sticking her nose in it for a bit, she completely understands the bigger picture. The boys aren't human... and they won't ever let her go, either.

LIPSTICK TASTES LIKE MISERY is a one-page poem-book of dark romance steeped in celestial residue-light after the fall, wings implied by absence, love shaped by gravity rather than salvation. It follows a speaker who stays just long enough to wound and a woman whose presence feels mythic without needing a name. Desire here is intimate and dangerous, charged with erotic proximity and emotional numbness; kisses taste like confession, sex becomes a threshold where devotion turns to consequence. The poem explores withdrawal as mercy, love as a force that injures by staying, and the quiet cruelty of leaving to protect what you cannot heal. Sensual, restrained, and devastating, it treats intimacy as ritual and distance as its own kind of violence.

One dare, one call,one Man she never forgot Amelia didn't expect the dare to matter. It was supposed to be a joke - a reckless challenge tossed out at a party, wrapped in pride and rivalry. But now, with the clock ticking and everything she's worked for on the line, she has no choice but to call Malik. Years ago, they shared a single night. No promises. No regrets. Just heat and silence and the kind of closeness that never quite left her. He said he'd be gone by morning, and he was. She never asked why. Now he's back. Not as Malik, the quiet man she once knew, but as Angelo - powerful, unreadable, and still capable of making her feel like the world narrows to just him. He agrees to the proposal. But not for love. Not for nostalgia. For control. As Amelia steps into a life she never planned, she finds herself caught between freedom and belonging, memory and reinvention, desire and restraint. And Malik? He's not just testing her. He's waiting to see if she'll jump. The Edge of Yes is a slow-burning, emotionally layered story about the choices that shape us, the people we carry, and the thin line between surrender and survival.
