Ayanna thought she knew love.
For eleven years, she gave her heart to the wrong man - until the night she realized no one was coming to save her. Not her family. Not her friends. Only herself.
With her five-year-old son, Zion, she disappears across the ocean to Kyoto, Japan, chasing a life quiet enough to heal the bruises no one can see.
She isn't looking for love. She doesn't even trust kindness anymore.
But kindness finds her anyway - in the form of Renjiro Sato.
He's nothing like the man she ran from: soft-spoken, patient, steady. The kind of man who shows up without asking for anything in return.
Zion calls him the quiet uncle.
Ayanna calls him dangerous - because the way he looks at her feels like safety, and safety is something she's forgotten how to believe in.
In a city where the language is new, the streets are unfamiliar, and the future is uncertain, Ayanna begins to learn:
Healing is slow. Love is quieter than she imagined.
And even the moon, scarred and imperfect, still lights the dark.

Sinful Temptation (BWAM) (slow updates)
"What do you want, Ameera?" His eyes darted to the kitchen door for a second, praying no one would come in. But she didn't care, she never did. Despite him being taller than her 5'11 frame, she was the one in control. Just how she liked it. A slender finger trailed across his impeccable jawline, running down his Adam's apple; and stopped at the top of his chest where she had already undone the first two buttons of his shirt. He was nervous, she could tell, but continued anyway. And without breaking eye contact, the words spilt from her plump lips like water. "What do I want?" she chuckled lowly, "I want to absolutely wreck you, take you apart in every way and put you back together. Then do it all over again, baby boy." He knew how blunt she was, but never expected her to say that; hence his speechlessness. His freckled cheeks were painted rosette with a blush that prolonged up to his ears. Aarav's flushed demeanour made her amused, but she stepped back nonetheless. The bottle of wine they originally come for was abandoned on the counter, so she took it up and placed it in his large hands. "All in due time, baby, I can wait. You can go now." And so he did, not an ounce of hesitation in his steps due to his nervousness. She leaned her self against the counter as she watched him leave, and it took everything in her not to pull him back and thoroughly ravish him. She wasn't sure what it was that hindered her. The fact that he was ten years her senior. The fact of his wife being in the other room. Or the fact that he was her pastor. ~~~ In which a girl accidentally sends a nude to her pastor.

My Family, My Life "Sequel To His Butterfly"
Sequel to His Butterfly Eleven long months have slipped away, and the echoes of their mother's laughter still elude Asher and Alexia. The warmth of her embrace remains a distant memory, leaving an ache in our hearts. Tears stream down my face as I envision Avery absent from the joyous celebration of our children's first birthday. I strive to be a pillar of strength for us both, but the weight of her absence grows heavier with each passing day, as she misses out on the abundance of love that surrounds her. In this time of hardship, Emily and Brendan have emerged as steadfast companions. Emily faithfully visits, tenderly combing Avery's hair and engaging in heartfelt conversations as if she were awake. Her feeble attempts at humor directed at Avery serve as a gentle reminder that, no matter how dire the circumstances, we can find solace in one another's presence. Meanwhile, Brendan takes it upon himself to keep Avery connected to the world beyond her bedside. Each day, he immerses himself in the twins' lives, regaling them with amusing and endearing tales of their mother's youth, ensuring that her spirit remains alive in their hearts. I miss you, Avery, I miss your laughter and dazzling smiles. I miss how you challenge me at every turn. I never knew that the world was brighter when you smiled your dazzling smile upon me. That the air was fresher when you were in my presence. That you were my true home, a place where I could be free to be myself. You are my heart it beats only for you and our kids. I won't ever say goodbye to you, to us baby. Ranked #1 in Bi Rain Ranked #8 in in-laws Ranked #9 BWKM Finished On 01/24/21Complete

𝑵𝒐 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝑱𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝑯𝒊𝒎
18+ content with sexuality and domestic violence and traumatizing experience _________________________ Life is not like a movie where we are born into a rich and perfect family, where our childhood feels like a fairy tale and everything we wish for magically appears in our hands. In films, parents never argue with us, never refuse us anything. Life flows smoothly, almost unreal. In those stories, when we become teenagers, we begin to "live." We go to night outs at friends' houses, attend loud house parties, wander into clubs, and return home late at night without anyone stopping us. We drive our own cars, free and fearless. One evening, we take the person we love on a long drive, the road stretching endlessly ahead of us. Under a sky scattered with countless stars, we stop the car somewhere quiet. The world becomes silent except for the sound of our breathing. We look at the person beside us, kiss them, and fall deeper in love in that moment. Years pass, and eventually we marry that same person. After all, we were always perfect in this imaginary story-so of course our parents approve without hesitation. After the wedding, we travel the world together, exploring new countries and chasing sunsets, living a life that seems endlessly joyful. Then one day, we decide it's time for a child. We imagine a small home far away from the chaos of cities, somewhere surrounded by nature. A garden blooms outside the house, and vegetables grow in the little farm we cultivate with our own hands. Every morning before leaving for work, we share a gentle kiss. And one day, many years later, we imagine ourselves growing old together, lying side by side on the same bed, taking our final breaths in each other's presence. But that is only what humans hope for - a beautiful, comforting illusionComplete

Noah Reed Wants The Moon (bxb) ✔️
"I always thought I was the ocean, you know? Always reaching for things I can't have. Always crashing into people who don't want me back. The moon pulls. The ocean follows. Even when it hurts." "You don't have to, Noah. Why can't you stay? Why can't the ocean stay with the shore?" *** Noah Reed has spent years trying to outrun the boy he used to be- the one who froze under his father's fists, the one who kissed a stranger under the stars and watched him disappear. When Noah and his mother escape their violent home and move to Novacrest, he's prepared to rebuild quietly: new school, new friends, a job at a café, and maybe-finally-something like peace. Milo, the sweet, steady football player who keeps showing up for him, feels like exactly that. Until Noah sees him. Eli Blake. Quarterback. Golden boy. Untouchable. And the first boy Noah ever kissed. Eli acts like he doesn't remember him at all. But his eyes say something else-fear, anger, longing, something sharp enough to cut. Thrown together for a biology project, their old summer-camp secret forces its way back, tearing open every wound Noah has tried to bury. And just when Noah's heart begins leaning toward Milo, Eli breaks through his defenses... and kisses him again. Now the past is unraveling, the truth is clawing its way out, and Noah has to choose between the boy who makes him feel safe and the boy who makes him feel seen. Because oceans don't choose what pulls them. But Noah has to- before he breaks apart for good. Book One in the Ocean & Moon series.Complete
