Safe Word: I Love You

Kio Javier, a quiet, awkward, dangerously good at hiding things-especially the part of himself that craves surrender. All his life, he's buried his deepest desires, convinced no one could ever understand the side of him he keeps in the dark.

But guess no secret only remains as a secret.

It's almost like the universe decided to mess with him by tying his fate to a girl he never saw coming.

To the world, Angeline Guillermo is an angel-polite, graceful, everyone's favorite girl. But Kio isn't the only one who has a secret to keep. Beneath her soft facade is a woman who craves control, a beast who feeds off of someone's pain as their pleasure and she is just as tired pretending as he is.

Behind their carefully curated mask of lies carries two souls desperate to be seen-and maybe, just maybe, to belong to someone who understands.

(Author's note: I had this idea while being wine drunk...might write this story while being one as well lol:0, enjoy anyways.)
