Other Title: Edge of the Mirror 

In the shadows of a moonlit city, the boundaries between reality and illusion begin to blur. "Ethereal Reflections" is a gripping psychological thriller that delves into the depths of duality and the enigmatic nature of the human mind.

Dr. Alice Thornton, a brilliant young psychologist, finds herself drawn into a web of intrigue when a series of inexplicable events unfolds around her. Haunting whispers in the night, reflections that distort truth, and a mirror that seems to hold secrets beyond imagination-all lead her on a journey into the labyrinthine corridors of the psyche.

Haunted by her own past, Ava 'Avie' Hayes, Alice's enigmatic patient, becomes both a key to unraveling the mysteries and a source of new questions. As Alice uncovers hidden connections between the ethereal and the tangible, she realizes that the answers lie not just in the mirror's reflection, but within the recesses of her own heart.

As the line between dream and reality blurs, Alice must confront her deepest fears and confront the question: What happens when the mind becomes the playground of the unknown? In a race against time, she must decipher the cryptic whispers and unmask the illusions before they consume her sanity.

"Ethereal Reflections" is a masterfully woven tale of mystery and introspection, where the shadows of the mind hold more secrets than the eyes can perceive. Brace yourself for a riveting exploration of the human psyche, where the mirror's truth is both a revelation and a deception.

Dr. Valentino (18+) by ArazellaSnow

I felt the tinge of his hands as he wiped the swab stick right onto my vestibule, accompanying the motion with a press on my cervix, and that was when it all came back. The clutch at my heart, the prick of my chest, the delight. Damn it all! He pushed the swab an inch into my vulva, using his fingers to stretch the skin of my clitoris. Believe me, I fell. I fell deep into that sensation, I fell into the silence which had me now struck, I fell into the guilt that claimed me. "I don't think you're fully healed in there" I heard him say. Damn those teases of his! I gave a judder as he introduced his index finger into me, being accompanied with his thumb. He picked up an item off the tray, undoing its cap, and the next thing I felt was something greasing into the depths of my vulva. "I applied some wax there..." "It helps with the healing" Now, if he said he knew not whatever he did to me, then I must term the mister one big liar, cause with those gasps heavy on my lips I believed it was no secret. At every wipe, swab, and touch Dr. Miller gave, my body was sure to have a jolt, figure left shuddering from the teases of his hold. He pushed his fingers even deeper into me, shoving a swab in there, and with a soft moan soon escaping my lips, our eyes met. ~~~ Involved in an accident, Olivia Sanders finds herself crossing paths with City Hall's mysterious doctor.
