9× 𝒇𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒚 𝑾𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒑𝒂𝒅

Afraid of human contact, renowned ballerina Akhyra Morel is the epitome of grace on stage, but offstage, her icy demeanor keeps everyone at arm's length. When a media scandal jeopardizes her career, Akhyra reluctantly becomes entwined with Lucian Moreno, a rising star of the national Haitian football team.

Lucian, suspended from the quarter-finals of the Gold Cup competition due to a foolish bar fight, finds himself stuck chauffeuring around his coach's spoiled daughter. Initially resentful and at odds, Akhyra and Lucian must learn to cooperate. As Akhyra takes a hiatus away from the attention of the press, she is confronted with a reluctant guardian who would rather be on the football field than playing chauffeur.

In this delicate dance of vulnerability and strength, Akhyra and Lucian navigate a journey from isolation to connection. Will the fiery clash of their worlds lead to a new pas de deux, or will the shadows of their pasts keep them forever entwined in a dance of solitude?

Beyond The Lie by midnight_muxe

She took a step closer, her eyes blazing with anger. "You want to know what's really unfair? It's that you're mad at me for doing what you should have done in the first place. You should have come to talk to me, should have made an effort. But no, instead you're over here, pouting and blaming me for your own lack of action. You're so-" I cut her off mid-sentence, my hands grasping her face, my lips crashing down on hers in a fierce, possessive kiss. I silenced her venomous words with my own desperate need. I growled to myself, my mind racing with the truth. I was holding back, and I knew it. But I didn't mean to blame her for my own fears. That was just a coward's excuse. But if she wanted me to take action, I was more than happy to oblige. I devoured her lips, my head tilting deep into the kiss. She tensed, her body rigid with surprise, but then relaxed into me, her lips parting to let me in. ----------------------------- Secrets, passion, and a forbidden attraction...
