VELVET RUIN ( 18+ )

"You don't understand what happens to girls who get involved with people like me," he murmured against her lips.

"Then show me."

Something dark flickered in his expression.

The kiss that followed was brutal. Possessive. The kind that stole breath and common sense all at once. His hand tightened slightly at her throat while the other slid along her thigh, pulling her closer until there was no space left between them.

"Careful," he said softly, eyes cold and ruined and hungry all at once. "You're starting to enjoy this."

At Blackthorne University, legacy is worth more than innocence.

The elite rule the campus from the shadows - six dangerously untouchable heirs bound by power, secrets, and a society no one speaks about above a whisper. Behind velvet ties and perfect grades lies something far darker: bloodstained rituals, silent wars, and a game designed to destroy anyone who gets too close.

She was never supposed to enter their world.

But the moment she steps through the gates of Blackthorne, the society notices her.

And once they do... there's no escape.

Every hallway hides a secret.
Every smile is a threat.
And every one of them wants something from her.

Especially him.

Cold. Obsessive. Untouchable.

He watches her like she's the answer to a question he's spent years trying to bury.

But at Blackthorne, love is never soft.
It's possessive. Dangerous. Ruinous.

And the deeper she falls into their world of lies, violence, and forbidden desire, the more she realizes one terrifying truth:

The secret society isn't hiding from her.

It's been waiting for her.
