Heat Between The Sheets
She thought she was just his rebound. He knew she was the one he'd never stop wanting.

No expectations. Just raw chemistry and a shared bed. But Roman plays by his own rules-and his rules include breakfast in bed, slow dances in the kitchen, and kisses that reach places words can't touch. As nights turn to mornings and passion turns into something dangerously close to love, Jade begins to question everything she thought she wanted. Caught between the scars of her past and the heat of their undeniable connection, Jade must decide: walk away before it gets too real-or stay and risk her heart for the man who sees through every layer she's tried to hide.

Secrets bury themselves deeper, and trust unravels into suspicion. When she loses the man she believed would be her forever, her world fractures into grief, lies, and unanswered questions. And some answers are more dangerous than the questions themselves. A detective who asks too much. A friend who may know more than they admit. And a truth that could destroy everything. The real question is: how far would you go for what you want most? ⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄ ✎ this is a slow-burn, psychological mystery-thriller, a work of fiction ✎ please note that this story touches lightly on themes of same-gender affection and emotional connection. ✎ technically not proofread thanks for reading! unravel © 2025 TheShinks © all rights reservedComplete
HIS TO TAKE
"Please, Mitchell!" She yelled. Not loud enough. Her voice trapped inside of her. All she wanted was one thing - to be with her child. He had taken away that too. He was punishing her for no reasons. The wounds only grew deeper as she thought that it would have been better if he had killed her that day. Her thoughts were confusing to herself. The voices in her head. The motherhood she felt for the first time, sticking her child to her chest so gently until her child slept. All of that, she never wanted but grew to like it eventually. "Maybe you being away from her will teach you how to behave." His voice louder than her. He walked away locking the door. Leaving her behind with her nightmare. She never wanted this, yet she had to do it for the sake of living. Now she wishes she had never came across him that night. ___________________________________ After being with her abusive father, he sells her to a psychopath for money.
