πππππ ππππππ wears pain like a second skin.
It's all she's ever known, etched into her bones, buried beneath forced smiles and hollow laughter. A walking contradiction: all sin and sorrow, smoke and shadows. Once passionate, once burning bright, now nothing but ash and ruin. She pretends well, too well, but behind the sharp tongue and unbothered eyes lies a girl screaming to be seen, yet terrified someone actually might.
ππππ ππππππ was born into a world already at war with him. Pain wasn't just a chapter in his life, it was the whole book. Raised in shadows, fed by poison, his lungs filled with smoke and silence. He never asked for love. He never believed he deserved it. Drugs kept the demons quiet. Cigarettes kept his hands busy.
Until her.
The only good card he's ever been dealt, fragile, feral, and just as broken as him.
Together, Liora and Ares are destruction wrapped in desire. A love not meant to be touched, yet impossible to resist. It's messy. Chaotic. Addictive. The kind of love that tastes like sin and feels like home. It's the kind of love that leaves scars, and still, they keep reaching for each other, again and again.
What happens when two shattered souls try to build something whole out of ruin?
To be loved is to be known.
"How'd you get that scar?" Zayne's calloused hands circled my wrist while he carefully inspected the scar that had been hiding under my sleeve that rode up.
"Oh, I cut myself while cooking" I let out a strained laugh trying my best to ignore Zayne's poisonous green eyes burning into my forearm.
I watched frozen in fear as his jaw clenched in realisation and his head slowly lifted up, Revealing his captivating eyes that were filled with fury.
"You told Ethan you fell."
