Warnings:
This work is rated Mature as it may contain adult themes, violence, blood, and gore. There are also implied references to past child abuse and rape but never between the main characters. These are not graphically described, but may appear in flashbacks. I will add warnings at the start of those chapters so you can skip them if needed.
Notes:
English is not my first language, so please forgive any grammar or spelling mistakes.
This is the F/M version of my M/M story Painting the Sky. That story is already further along, but I'll do my best to catch this one up with quick editing.
This story is meant to be a thrill ride filled with secrets and suspense, and I've been having so much fun writing it!
I hope you enjoy it too.
Happy reading! 🌙✨
