To find love in the unknown and hope in the future, when two souls conclude and become one...
Zuri never expected love to look like this. Quiet. Patient. A mirror she wasn't afraid to look into.
In a world that often asked her to shrink, she chose to expand-bit by bit, day by day. Through long walks beneath South Carolina skies, the rhythm of pen against paper, and the comfort of solitude, she learned to breathe in her own skin.
He didn't come crashing in like a storm. He came gently, like rain after a dry season.
Jakari, with his soft strength and calm presence-tall, thoughtful, his skin kissed by the sun, inked stories running along his arms. He smiled through the tight spaces of anxiety, spoke kindly, and stood tall even when the weight got heavy.
He didn't need fixing. Neither did she. But somehow, in each other, they found balance.
Two souls. One connection.
And a love that feels like home.

Two broken souls, drawn together by pain and pulled toward healing, have to decide if love can exist where trust has already died.

Money Makin' (Completed)
"So when you gon' stop playing and let me hit that shit, Zuria?" Mitch asked while he smoked a blunt in my mother's living room and we both sat on the floor. "Let you hit this?" I asked, raising an eyebrow as I watched him blow smoke into the air. "Yeah." He smirked, cockily. "How about when you learn how to talk to your girlfriend?" I took the blunt out of this hands and smashed it on the ashtray that was on the coffee table. "Whatchu do that for?" He bit his bottom lip, leaning into me. "Hm?" He went on, softly biting my neck. "I've told you, you can't smoke in here, Mitchell." "You're really not even supposed to be here." I said to him, considering my mother did not condone boys in her house but here he was. He'd completely ignored me though as he mushed his head into my neck, leaving small kisses. "Stop." I whined playfully as he pushed himself up onto me and kissed my lips, pushing me backwards with our lips still attached. "Mitch." I spoke nervously as he climbed on top of me while I now laid my back onto the carpet. "Let me hit that shit, ma." He spoke softly into my ear as he continued leaving kisses on my neck. "Mitch, we cant. My mom will be home from work soon." I expressed to him but he ran his hands up my school skirt anyway. "Stop bitchin'." "Let me finally pop that cherry, Z." He spoke, putting his lips on mine as he slowly moved my underwear aside and rubbed his fingers against my Girl. "Mm." I moaned, unfamiliar with this feeling but it felt great. And though I knew my mother would be here soon, I no longer wanted to stop. He continued rubbing it as I laid there, looking up into his eyes. As I did, he smirked down at me and I smiled small, rubbing a hand down his cheek. I was so in love with this boy.Complete

Just us
Sometimes love finds you in the places you least expect-right when you need it most. Tilen has learned to live behind walls-strong, silent, and untouchable. After surviving a trauma that shattered his sense of control, trust doesn't come easy. But when he meets Adjrena, everything begins to shift. She sees through his guarded edges, offering him comfort without asking for anything in return. What he doesn't know is-she's healing too. Adjrena carries her own scars, hidden behind the calm exterior and quiet strength she offers everyone else. Love hasn't been kind to her. And opening up again? That's a risk she swore she wouldn't take. But in Tilen, she finds someone who doesn't expect her to be perfect-just real. During a sun-drenched vacation with close friends in Turks and Caicos, the spark between them flares into something undeniable. Between golden beaches, shared secrets, and stolen moments in the dark, two guarded souls slowly begin to trust again-not just each other, but themselves. But healing isn't a straight line. And love isn't always easy. Heartfelt, deeply sensual, and emotionally raw-this is a story about letting go of past pain, embracing vulnerability, and discovering the kind of love that transforms everything it touches. Can two broken souls truly heal in each other's arms? Or will the damage they've endured be too much to overcome?Complete
