Secretly Falling (Interracial)
Ella built her life out of control and caution- every late night study session, every perfectly planned move was a brick in the wall protecting her heart. Love was never part of the equation. It was chaos, and chaos was the one thing she refused to let in. Then came Elias- quiet confidence, steady hands, and a gaze that saw straight through her defenses. He didn't just walk into her life; he unraveled it, one heartbeat at a time. Behind her ambition, Ella carried secrets- the kind that still haunted her when the world went silent. A broken home. A heart that learned to flinch before it ever learned to trust. Now Elias is offering her something terrifyingly beautiful- a chance at love that feels too real to be safe. But to take it, she'll have to do the one thing she hasn't done in a long time: let someone in. And that might be the bravest- or the most dangerous- decision of her life.
Fire on Fire
"This is so wrong ..." Emma breathed out against his lips when he pinned her up against the wall. "Is it?" Alexander echoed, slipping his hands underneath her large sweater, grazing her lips. "She's my friend ..." Emma argued weakly, albeit unwilling to push him off. "Don't think about it." He merely replied, starting to nibble on her neck. As his lips nipped down on her sensitive skin, Emma let out a breathless moan and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, so that he could hook her legs around his torso, effectively seizing her in his arms. The walk to his bedroom was short, and before she could say anything, she found herself on his bed, him hovering over her. His every touch was inebriating, the way his lips knew exactly where to go in order for her to lose sight of her moral duties, the way his hands skillfully caressed every inch of her skin, as if savoring it in advance, was driving her insane. And when she met his fiery gaze, Emma knew she was doomed. She had no chance but to surrender to this devil that was tempting her, pushing her towards something that - she was well aware - would be difficult to give up on once set in motion.Complete

Beneath the Veil of Shadows
"Elias, what am I getting myself into?" Sapphire whispered, her voice trembling as she gazed up at him. His eyes, dark and intense, locked onto hers. "You're getting into me, Sapphire. All of me." Elias's fingers traced the curve of her neck, sending shivers down her spine. "But what does that mean?" Sapphire's hands fluttered to his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart. "It means you'll see the worst of me," Elias warned, his voice low and husky. "The shadows I hide in, the secrets I keep. You'll be vulnerable, Sapphire." "I'm already vulnerable," she countered, her voice barely audible. "Every time I'm with you, I feel like I'm drowning." Elias's grip on her tightened. "I'll be your lifeline, Sapphire. Your anchor. But you have to trust me." His lips brushed against hers, a whisper of a kiss. "Trust you?" Sapphire's laugh was laced with desperation. "You're the one person I shouldn't trust." Elias's eyes flashed with pain, but his voice remained steady. "Maybe. But I'm the only one who can keep you safe."
