This is a BL story. Written in English.
Duke Lucian Valerius is more than just a nobleman-he is a ruler feared and worshiped in equal measure. With his striking beauty, chilling composure, and an unsettling sense of control, he has built an empire of wealth and influence. But behind closed doors, whispers of his darker appetites circulate.
When Ronan "The Hound" Drake, a legendary mercenary, is captured while raiding one of Lucian's trade convoys, he expects execution. Instead, the Duke makes him an irresistible offer: Serve. Obey. Submit.
Ronan is no stranger to chains, but there is something far more dangerous in the way Lucian looks at him-something that unravels his hardened defenses. What begins as forced servitude shifts into a twisted game of dominance and submission, pleasure and control. The once-fierce mercenary finds himself craving the Duke's touch, bound by something far more dangerous than chains.
The Duke wants to tame him.

Poison of Vengeance
Four years after the death of his fiancée, Kalin is still stuck in the past, unable to move on. When he hears a rumor about a gemstone with the power to bring people back to life, he believes he found a solution to all of his problems. He decides to hire a Hunter to help him find the gemstone, but there is one problem-the Hunter in question turns out to be the very man who killed his fiancée. Lance never shied away from a job, no matter how shady or illegal it was. Killing people, making dangerous poisons, working as a Hunter to spy and get dirt on people-he's done it all. So when the leader of the Hunters' Guild asks him to find some magical gemstone, he has no reason to refuse. Until his client tries to kill him, at least. Driven by his desire for revenge, Kalin wants nothing more than to see Lance dead-except to bring Lydia back to life, something he cannot do without Lance's help. But when he teams up with the arrogant Hunter, he realizes there's more to him than meets the eye-and he might get a lot more than what he bargained for. ◇◇◇ STARTED: 6/4/2024 FINISHED: TBA Cover and banners created by the wonderful @-DeeIsDead- ♡
His Innocent Obsession
I felt him before I saw him. The air shifted, heavy and electric, and then he was there - filling the doorway of my shop like he owned it. Like he owned me. His eyes dragged over me slowly, deliberately, until my skin burned. I told myself to look away, to breathe, to move - but my body betrayed me. Lucien stepped closer, the scent of smoke and danger clinging to him. He reached out, brushing a single petal from my shoulder, his fingers grazing my skin as if testing how easily I'd break. "You hide behind flowers," he murmured, voice low enough to curl around my spine. "But I see the truth. You're trembling for me." My lips parted, but no words came. My pulse thundered, my knees weak, and still I couldn't step back. He leaned in, his breath warm against my ear. "You don't know it yet, Dahlia," he whispered, "but you're already mine." Dahlia Hart lives a quiet life running her late father's flower shop a haven of color and calm in a world she keeps at arm's length. But one night changes everything. She witnesses a brutal crime, and in doing so, catches the attention of a man who doesn't tolerate witnesses. A man who doesn't let go. Lucien Moretti is cold, dominant, and untouchable a man who built his empire on control, fear, and precision. When he learns that the only person who saw what happened is the daughter of a man who once betrayed him, his interest turns personal. Dahlia is no longer just a threat. She's a loose end. A legacy. A possession waiting to be claimed. But Dahlia isn't as fragile as she seems. And Lucien, for all his cruelty, finds himself drawn to her innocence in ways he didn't expect. What begins as a hunt becomes something darker an obsession. One that blurs the line between protection and possession, desire and domination. This is my first book I hope you like it 🤗

But the rider who once caged him offers a bargain: survive four trials, and be restored to his true form. Freedom, redemption, even love, all whispered on the serpent's tongue. To follow him is to embrace the hate they share, and the ruin it promises. Yet hate runs close to love, and love close to madness. Every trial drags old sins into the light and knots their bond tighter with blood and memory. Together they could unmake empires, or unmake each other first.

"A mafia boss submitting to the enemy mafia boss"(BL-SexScenes⚠️) He used to make men kneel. Now he shivers when I whisper in his ear. Damian doesn't rule anymore. Not when he's under me. Not when he begs. They call him the Blood King. Cold. Brutal. Untouchable. The head of blood Marker. But in my hands, he's nothing but a dog in heat. A trembling body caged in silk and steel. Fighting to hold onto pride while I take him and fuck him-slowly, deeply, completely. I don't need knives to break him. Just a hand at his throat. A kiss that doesn't stop. A voice in the dark telling him what he is now: Mine. He hates me. He wants me. He moans when I touch him like he belongs to me. And soon, he will. No thrones. No power. Just his mouth moaning my name and his body bent for more. This war won't end with bullets. It'll end with him on his knees.

True Silk, Book I | 18+ (Completed)
"True silk." Just another form of chains. ---------- The world in 2499 is not quite how you may have imagined it. There are super-enhanced humans. Computer-based weapons. A lack in former mortal violence. However, it's the demons who've taken over. And the King happens only to be half. ---------- SINCE SHE WAS 12, Maven Sylvie has been apart of the ritualistic Embracings, almost entirely like an auction except one does not have to pay. Females had been oppressed and objectified for centuries now. Men come to use them as they please, whether it be for marriage, sex, blood, children, or simply amusement. When Maven is finally picked after her 3rd time in the Embracings - and by the vampire king of North America, no less - she plans to make her escape and join with the Revolution. But if she finds herself craving for her Sovereign's attention, then what will she do? ------ From some of deepest, darkest recesses in my mind, and not cliche at all. :) Started : 6/29/17 Finished: 11/22/18Complete
