GREY by AriesBlackWolf

I was frozen to my spot, watching his slightly darkened eyes roam my body and I couldn't help the embarrassment that suddenly coursed through me. Heat rushed up to my face as I timidly moved my eyes away from his intense gaze, crossing my bare legs over one another as I bit my lip. I felt completely vulnerable. The silence was soon thankfully broken when he cleared his throat, bringing my eyes back up to find him turn around to shut the bedroom door. ----------------------------------------------------------- Constantly having to move from town to town due to her father's condition was never easy for Aria Clark. Her father meant everything to her and although it's hard for her as a young teenager to start fresh every time she learns to get comfortable, she vows to do anything to be by her father's side. With no expectations she once again enters a new town, planning to get through the school years until she is told to move again. But what if Harlow is not like the other towns she had moved to in the past? What if the town and the people in it completely change her life and bring about an experience she may have never imagined? What if she was able to make friends who would stand by her for lifetime, delivering her new hopes for the future? What if they entirely change her perspective on how she sees the world and herself? And what happens when she meets Grayson Stone?

"Behind Closed Doors" by ariesss1794

Kayla's life seems perfect on the outside-she's a 23-year-old college student with big dreams, a tight circle of friends, and two protective older brothers. She's always been independent, handling her own business and staying focused on her goals. But when she meets Devin, a smooth-talking guy who seems to have it all together, everything starts to change. At first, Devin is everything Kayla could want-charming, attentive, and always making her feel special. But as their relationship deepens, his true colors begin to show. Devin's charm turns to control, and his love turns into something darker. Trapped in an abusive relationship that no one knows about, Kayla finds herself isolated, scared, and unsure of how to escape. With her best friend Lena starting to notice the changes in her, and her brothers Isaiah and Jordan growing suspicious, Kayla struggles to keep her secret while searching for a way out. But leaving Devin isn't as simple as it seems. The deeper she falls into his manipulation, the harder it becomes to break free. In this short, gripping urban drama, Kayla's strength is tested as she fights to reclaim her life and rediscover her voice. Set against the backdrop of city life, "Behind Closed Doors" is a powerful story about love, control, and survival, written in raw, unfiltered Ebonics that captures the realities of living in the streets. Will Kayla find the courage to escape, or will Devin's hold on her drag her down for good?

And maybe, just maybe... love can grow from the ruins of betrayal. this is my first story so kindly ignore my grammatical errors and please do tell me in comments about my mistakes so i can correct it......

Bruiseprint by Cece_imagines

A story of love, pain, and second chances. In a world where friendships crumble and kisses taste of betrayal, some wounds cut deeper than skin. A lover's touch can heal-or destroy. Behind every smile hides a secret. Behind every promise, a lie. And in the ashes of loss and sabotage, hearts still ache for the kind of love that survives it all. Different, yet the same-bound by the bruises and scars of their choices, their pasts, their mistakes. Some wounds break, some redeem... but in the end, love always leaves its mark. *** ⚠️ Disclaimer: Sensitive Content This story explores themes of sexual abuse, human trafficking, grooming, emotional trauma, domestic violence, and morally complex relationships. It delves into the long-term psychological impact of abuse and how it can distort one's understanding of love, trust, and self-worth. The characters, their actions, and their choices are entirely fictional and are not intended to condone or glorify abuse, manipulation, or inappropriate relationships of any kind. Reader discretion is strongly advised. Started: May 2025 *** Bruiseprint - a made-up name. Some loves leave marks, not just the kind that hurt, but the kind that shape us. They stay with us like prints. Our bruises tell stories. Pain leaves a print, but so does healing. This is the imprint of a love that changed them both. Thank you for reading ❤️♾️

Invisible Threads (Complete) by NadeLizamore

A gripping story of trust, love, and the dangerous secrets that threaten to unravel everything. April thought her life was held together by invisible threads-trust, love, and loyalty woven into the fabric of her world. Her father was her anchor, the steady force keeping her grounded while Dylan, her younger brother, drifted into chaos, and Lucas, her best friend, disappeared without a word. But when her father dies, those threads begin to fray. Dylan is slipping further into darkness, Lucas has returned with motives April can't quite read, and Camille Harrington-a woman shrouded in mystery-looms over them all, pulling Dylan into her dangerous orbit. Caught in a web of secrets and fractured loyalties, April struggles to untangle the ties that bind her to the people she loves. Enter William-a stranger with quiet resolve and unexpected warmth-steps into her life just as the storm begins to close in. Torn between Lucas' protective instincts, Dylan's unraveling, and William's quiet strength, April must navigate the fragile lines between trust and deception, love and betrayal, survival and truth. But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes-some secrets aren't just dangerous. They're deadly. As the past resurfaces and long-buried truths begin to crack open, April must confront what it will take to hold onto the people she loves-before the threads that connect them all finally break.

Eros ✔ by faeriez

Autumn Lake thought she could have anything she wanted. Despite her father's wealth, there were three things she could never get with money; love, freedom, and friendship. She had never experienced such things. She had always wondered how they felt, for she never felt loved by anyone; not even her own father. She had no one to socialize with other than her maids and her father's coworkers and prestigious clients, because of her father's imprisonment. The only things that she usually did in her spare time were reading novels and countless encyclopedias, which left her to wonder how good and generous the world was. That was until she went to college. Everything she imagined how the world outside would be went topsy-turvy. CREDITS: Cover by: Andini Oktarani

Begging for love by princessX0dark

How far must you fall before someone catches you? Hallie Carter is seventeen, but she's barely living-trapped between mirrors and hunger, between hospital walls and silent screams. No doctors, no pills, no promises have ever managed to pull her back from the darkness that's slowly erasing her. Until him. Patrick Collins. A man who doesn't know what love is-but somehow sees straight through her. They both carry scars, some visible, others buried deep. But when their lives collide, something begins to break-not them, but the silence. The lies. The fear. This isn't a beautiful love story. It's a raw, unflinching fight for survival. About fading bodies. And hearts that dare to hope again. Because when you've stopped believing in yourself-what happens when someone else starts?

Make It Through The Lies(On-Going) by iamfrvrgrateful

Letting go of someone who mean so much to you, who changed the person you are now, is immensely difficult.

Though letting go is the only way for you to get your life back on track. An exemplary life is what you ought to have. But what if the one you let go of is the one you should have been with until now? What if that person is the best thing that ever happened to you but you failed to recognize it because you're too focused on getting a better life? Should you go back to him or her, ask for forgiveness and try your very best to become a part of his or her life once again? Or heighten your pride and watch him or her from afar with another person? ••• Make It Through The Lies Written by: Mizz_Azilanna Date started: March 2020 Date finished-------- Note: credits to the rightful owner of the photo.
