What happens when the quest for self-love turns a bit selfish?
Ariana Singh meets Jax Russell, the therapist intern, in the process of falling apart. Jax Russell meets Ariana Singh, a girl like no other, in the process of putting himself back together again. They help each other in the rollercoaster ride that life is, but not without keeping secrets.
And certain secrets can be fatal ones.
---
Jax kisses me hard on my neck, sucking the skin and the sensation isn't like anything I've felt before. I just want more of it. He looks up for a moment and slows the movements.
❝Self love,❞ he makes me promise while teasing me. ❝Promise me, you'll work on it.❞
I whimper at his sudden pause in movements. He was touching me everywhere except there and I urgently wanted - no needed - release.
But if this is how he was going to boost my self-confidence, I really wouldn't mind.

Kiss Me Like You've Met Me (Completed)
I wasn't looking for love-God, I'd stopped looking years ago. You only have to hear "sorry, you're beautiful but" so many times before the but starts to rot your bones. Dating felt like a locked door I wasn't meant to open. And then she walked in. Tanvi Chatterjee. Twenty-four, sharp grin, eyes that cut right through me. She didn't offer love. She offered this. Friends with benefits. No dating. No future. Just nights that smelled of rum and lipstick, her laughter spilling into my mouth before I could even swallow the heat. I should've taken it for what it was-should've-but from the first time she touched me, I felt it. That strange jolt of recognition, like I'd found someone I'd been looking for without knowing it. I told myself it was just her body I wanted. That the way I memorized her was just habit. That the reason I hated seeing her leave wasn't because it felt like breathing stopped. I kept telling myself these things even when I started counting the days between seeing her, even when I could taste her in my dreams. She says this will end. I say nothing. Because endings are only real if you accept them, and I never have.Complete

🌹 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 Aria arrives at her new school carrying more than just a past-she carries a silence sharp enough to cut. She doesn't look for attention, she doesn't ask for friendship, and she definitely doesn't believe in love. Not anymore. Her world is built on rules: Stay small. Stay quiet. Stay hidden. But everything starts to shift the moment Shivansh Rawat begins to notice her in ways she can't ignore. He watches her the way no one ever has-carefully, respectfully, like he's trying to understand the shadows she refuses to speak about. He doesn't push. He doesn't pry. Yet somehow, he gets closer than anyone should be able to. His presence is steady. His patience is disarming. And his care? It's the kind of dangerous that scares her... because she wants it. Aria feels the walls she built trembling against him-this boy who quietly steps into the spaces she guards most fiercely. He makes her question everything she believes about trust, safety, and love itself. But darkness doesn't disappear just because someone kind walks in. As she becomes part of a world filled with loud laughter, fierce loyalty, and friendships that burn bright-Rohan and Avni's fiery clashes, Saavi and Akshat's warm, teasing spark-Aria begins to feel something she has long forgotten: Hope. Hope that terrifies her as much as her past ever did. Because secrets don't stay buried forever. Sometimes they rise exactly when you start to heal. And Aria's past carries shadows that don't loosen their grip easily.

Some hearts protect because they care. And some hearts... collide so intensely, the world around them shifts. 💞 Slow Burn × Emotional Healing 🔥 Enemies to Lovers 🫶 Brother's Best Friend 🌸 Found Family & Fierce Friendships 📖 School Life
