Daisy | Simon Riley by Steve_Writes

With a threat growing in the shadows, Lieutenant Drew "Daisy" Farrell is sought out for TF141, an elite squad of soldiers trained to deal with the world's most serious threats. The transition onto the team goes smoothly, except for the animosity between her and her fellow task force Lieutenant. Despite the anger between them, Lieutenant Simon "Ghost" Riley --the grumpy-ass, arrogant, rude, frustrating, control freak of a man-- manages to distract her with his coffee-colored eyes and sinful touches, leaving her cursing him in more ways than one. But as the target terrorist organization avoids their grasp, he shows her exactly what she can have if she simply listens. ⁂ For anyone else who is feral over Simon Riley and enemies to lovers, this is for you ;) This story contains a lot of smutty chapters, however, there is still plenty of plot to go along with it. Chapters will be noted if they have smut... in case you're curious... This story does NOT follow the video games, ie. Soap's not dead <3 CW: cannon level violence, swearing, explicit sex, threats and inuendoes referring to SA *Warnings will be posted at the top of chapters. Excerpt: He turned to her then, stepping close enough that he brushed against her knees. "Is it possible for you to keep your mouth shut?" he asked lowly. "What? Am I getting on your nerves?" His eyes narrowed at her. "You're gettin' close to an ass-chewing." "Can't handle a little banter, sir?" "You're insubordinate." "And you're sensitive." He let out a frustrated growl. It only served to encourage her. "You wanna take that thing off? It's hard to tell how you're feeling without seeing your face." A very obvious lie, especially when his eyes showed her everything she needed to know. He was pissed.

Preface: Crimson Shadows In the shadows, where the light dares not tread, there lies a tapestry of stories - tales woven with threads of crimson, spun from the lifeblood of those who have walked the path of adversity. It is within these shadowed realms that the true mettle of the human spirit is forged, tested by the fires of despair, guilt, and the relentless pursuit of redemption. The pages that follow bear witness to one such story - the journey of Amara Torres, a young woman whose life has been irrevocably altered by a tragedy that has left an indelible mark upon her soul. Haunted by the memories of her past and her late best friend, Amara must navigate the treacherous terrain of depression, self-harm, and the crippling weight of an unspoken secret that threatens to consume her. As Amara returns to the familiar confines of her hometown, she finds herself confronted not only by the remnants of her former life, but also by the enigmatic presence of Nolan Kirovsky - a fellow traveler in the realm of privilege and turmoil. Together, they must confront the shadows that have defined them, forging a path towards redemption and the unearthing of long-buried truths. Through Amara's story, we bear witness to the resilience of the human spirit, the capacity for transformation, and the profound impact that a single moment can have on the trajectory of a life.

So, let us venture forth, into the realm of Crimson Shadows, and bear witness to the extraordinary within the ordinary, the light that shines amidst the darkness, and the extraordinary journeys that unfold when we dare to confront the ghosts that haunt us.
