FLEEING AND FEELING
"Between friends, unspoken feelings can feel like a fragile thread pulled taut; one denies its existence while the other hides behind its delicate weave, both yearning for the courage to unravel what lies beneath." Ian and Julian, long-time best friends, find themselves in a complicated situation following a wildly inebriated, somewhat unconventional evening, which disrupts their lives. An awkward situation arises! To complicate matters, Julian poured out his emotions that night, only to later dismiss it as an error. Typical melodrama, wouldn't you say? However, Ian possesses an exceptional memory. While Julian hastily dismisses the incident, Ian's keen recollection paints a different picture. He senses Julian's insincerity and detects a discrepancy. Ian isn't one to evade unresolved issues, preferring to confront them head-on. As they deal with the fallout of their actions, conflicting perspectives, and clashes in temperament, emotions run high. The situation intensifies as they confront their feelings, leading to revelations about family secrets and youthful indiscretions. Layers upon layers of undisclosed information, intertwined with a sprinkle of adolescent recklessness and folly. Fleeing and Feeling is a captivating coming-of-age tale of love, secrets, and the often absurd journey of young adulthood, reminding us that sometimes even the messiest of situations lead to the most honest answers. @Mature.Complete

ARDOR OF HEART
#𝟮 𝗢𝗙 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗦. 𝗝 𝗔 𝗬 𝘅 𝗦 𝗠 𝗘 𝗥 𝗔 In a world where heartbreak stacks itself higher than hope, fate somehow threads together two souls who were never meant to cross paths-yet desperately needed to. Smera Joshi has spent her whole life flinching from the idea of love. A childhood fractured by a father who taught her the wrong kind of fear left her wary of every man who tried to step close. She trusts her work, her silence, her own two hands-nothing else. Jay Gupta, on the other hand, is soft where she is guarded. His heart carries the quiet ache of a love that never loved him back, a wound left behind by the one person he trusted most-his best friend. Now he walks carefully, afraid to offer his heart to someone who might drop it again. When Smera and Jay collide, it isn't dramatic-it's subtle. A spark. A gentle shift. The kind of connection that grows before either of them even notices. Slowly, Jay finds himself drawn to her-admiration melting into something deeper, warmer, terrifyingly real. And Smera, despite every wall she's built brick by brick, starts seeing him as the one man who doesn't frighten her... the one she wants to trust. She finally opens her heart-for him, only him. Two wounded hearts. One unexpected bond. A slow-burning unraveling of walls neither believed would ever fall. But when she steps toward him, brave and trembling...will Jay open his bruised heart to her too? Or will the fear of breaking again make him pull away-the moment she finally chooses him?

Deeper Healing
"As I passionately kiss your lips and breathe all of you in, release your pain to me; let me inhale it and let my soothing touch heal your broken soul. -------- What starts as soft glares and innocent forehead kisses turns into something more carnal, deeper and wickedly tempting to explore. She isn't looking for true love, a concept she has given up on searching for. What her soul burns for is a man's touch to set her body ablaze and consume her completely in a whirlwind of intense pleasure and ecstasy. He desires a vibrant woman to do all the wickedly sinful things burning in his mind to, one who can unleash the dominant beast in him and torture sensually with all the pleasure he has to offer. She seems to be all he's ever needed and maybe someone whose heart he can heal and stitch back in place piece by piece until it can beat hard in her chest again and say his name. But nothing ever comes on a silver platter, especially with loads of drama and misfortunes tailing each one of them from sources closer than they could ever imagine. ⚠︎Warning: This story contains explicit sexual content, mentions of sexual assault, mild language, drama and is a slowburnComplete
