everybody has a little bit of sun and moon in them. everybody has a little bit of man, woman, and animal in them. darks and lights in them. everybody is part of a connected cosmic system. part earth and sea, wind and fire, with some salt and dust swimming in them. we have a universe within ourselves that mimics the universe outside. none of us are just black or white, or never wrong and always right. no one. no one exists without polarities. everybody has good and bad forces working with them, against them, and within them.
i know the some of the first fifty (?) are sucky but i swear it gets better along the road.
note: some of these are mine, some aren't. credits to the authors x

Deeper Healing
"As I passionately kiss your lips and breathe all of you in, release your pain to me; let me inhale it and let my soothing touch heal your broken soul. -------- What starts as soft glares and innocent forehead kisses turns into something more carnal, deeper and wickedly tempting to explore. She isn't looking for true love, a concept she has given up on searching for. What her soul burns for is a man's touch to set her body ablaze and consume her completely in a whirlwind of intense pleasure and ecstasy. He desires a vibrant woman to do all the wickedly sinful things burning in his mind to, one who can unleash the dominant beast in him and torture sensually with all the pleasure he has to offer. She seems to be all he's ever needed and maybe someone whose heart he can heal and stitch back in place piece by piece until it can beat hard in her chest again and say his name. But nothing ever comes on a silver platter, especially with loads of drama and misfortunes tailing each one of them from sources closer than they could ever imagine. ⚠︎Warning: This story contains explicit sexual content, mentions of sexual assault, mild language, drama and is a slowburnComplete
