ONLY YOURS (Sensei Wolf X OC X Kwon Jae-Sung)
"Think I need someone older, just a little bit colder." Zania Liying joined Cobra Kai in the shadow of grief - after her sister's death shattered her world. The Sekai Taikai was her chance to rise from the ashes, to prove to herself and the world that she was more than her pain. Every day, she trained with fury and focus, carrying ambition like a sword at her side. She wanted to win - not just the tournament, but her own identity. Kwon was a welcome distraction. Steady, warm, familiar. He made her laugh when she forgot how. They flirted, danced on the edge of something real. And yet, despite how close they grew, he wasn't enough. Not when 'he' was in the room. Sensei Wolf - the cold, ruthless master of the Iron Dragons - saw through her from the beginning. Their connection started with sharp words and sharper stares. But beneath the surface, they shared something deeper: a hunger. A grief neither could shake. Years of discipline and solitude echoed between them like a silent language. Around Kwon, she was light. Around Sensei Wolf, she was lightning. And that terrified her. Zania didn't know why she froze when Wolf walked by... why her skin prickled under his gaze, why her thoughts tangled into dangerous places. Maybe she needed someone older. Someone darker. Someone who could meet the storm inside her - not tame it, but match it. She was fighting wars on every front - in the arena, in her heart, and in her soul. And yet, with every victory, every stolen glance, she wasn't sure who she was becoming... Only that she wanted more. (slow burn love triangle romance) A dark romance. I'm tired of reading the same thing in every Sensei Wolf story. It moves too fast and doesn't even sound like Wolf. So I decided to write my own.
Brave Enough To Love Again
I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery.

Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"Complete
Beside
''Tell me how it feels,'' he whispers. "Good," I gasp, my entire body trembling. Deeper. Harder. Perfect. Like we've been doing this for years. His hand finds my jaw, fingers firm as he tilts my head up, making me look at him. And that's it. Waves of heat zip to my toes as my nails scrape down his back. I don't think about what comes next -- him pulling his shirt on and leaving. I don't feel heartbroken when I imagine myself alone in here. It's casual, our intimacy. And it's too late to renegotiate. ***** When Fox hooks up with his new roommate at a masked club, he has no idea their fling is just the beginning. The woman he's living with is the same girl who shared candy with him under a playground slide. 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣 STANDALONE NOVEL *ANGSTY EMOTIONAL SLOW BURN *MEN YEARNING Copyright © 2024-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).
