They say love don't live in the hood.
Maybe they never met him.
I was just trying to survive - keep my daughter fed, my rent paid, my peace intact.
Love wasn't on my list.
Then Kairo showed up - quiet, dangerous, the kind of man who made the block move without saying a word.
He looked at me like he saw everything I tried to hide.
He said he didn't do love.
I said I didn't do mistakes.
But the streets don't care what you promise yourself.
Now, the same man who could ruin me...
is the only one who makes me feel safe.
And in New York, even love can get you killed.

101 Ways To Tame A Rockstar
Kai sat at the edge of the bed, jaw tight, big hands wrapping gauze around my split knuckles. He was too careful, too quiet- the type that comes right before a storm rips through you. I woke up halfway through, yanked my hand free. "Don't touch me." He didn't flinch. Just looked at me with those wolf-grey eyes like I was the only war he ever wanted to fight. "Dont do that." I blinked."What?" His mouth barely moved."You dont get to do that after what you did." My lips curled into a dangerous smile. "And if I do?" He grabbed me by the jaw-gentle and cruel all at once. My breath hitched. "Then I'll just have to remind you who you belong to." His lips crashes against mine. The kiss was raw, possessive, demanding-his tongue forcing its way past my lips, dominating me until my knees nearly buckled. When he finally pulled back, a thin string of saliva connected us. I let out a needy, humiliating whine at the loss of contact. The world stopped "You want to break things?" His voice a low growl, "Break me.You want pain? I'll give you pain that loves you back. But if you ever throw yourself in front of filth like that again-" His grip on my jaw tightened, not enough to hurt, just enough to own. "I might just kill someone." *** They call me the prince of chaos. The media's favorite sin. Award-winning artist, tabloid disaster, human trainwreck with pretty eyes and prettier scars. But I didn't ask for the crown. I do drugs to sleep. Smoke to breathe. Fuck to feel. Punch cameras.Curse in interviews. And I don't apologize for any of it. That's how I got kai-my new bodyguard. 6ft something of quiet death, jaw sharp enough to cut glass, and eyes like he's already decided how I'll die if I piss him off. He doesn't play nice and he sees too much. And when he touches me, the world gets quiet for once. This isn't your typical love story. It's war. ME vs Myself. ME vs My Past. ME vs the man who swore he'd protect me - even from myself. You want to know how it ends? So do I.

"why the fuck did you go on a date with him? he is not even your type!!" he growls. "so what? he is friendly and nice to me" I replied confidently. "NO, HE IS NOT NICE!!! he wants you because you're....beautiful" he said looking directly in my eyes! "Viaan! stop being so annoying...and let me go! he is waiting for me" I said. As I was about to leave, he held my hands and in a millisecond I was pinned to his car. I was shocked by this action of his. He never behaved like this but today he was in different mood. "What a-are you d-doing?" I said. We were so close that our lips were almost touching and then he bends towards my neck and kiss it. I swear that feeling was so amazing... I loved it but I didn't show it on my face, but then he looked at me with his dark brown eyes, and stared at me for a couple of seconds. "If you didn't leave for home right now! I will kiss the fuck out of you, until you become breathless" he said in his deep voice without breaking the eye contact. Honestly that was hot....but this is not the time for this. "And why are you suddenly so interested in my personal life? Are you jealous of Abhay?" I said without looking at him. "Do not try me! I said go home!!" I sensed that he is angry. "Oh yeah? don't try you? what will you do Mr. Raghuvanshi?" I said in a sarcastic way. To which he smirked. and said "don't ask for something you can't handle baby" What did he just say.....Baby? "I'm not your baby". "Are you sure?" he smirked again. Why the hell he's keep doing that. .........

A House for Me
A quiet house. A past that won't let go. And two men who could burn it all down. Kai never asked for much - just a quiet home of his own. But the past clings like smoke, and the house he's building can't keep the ghosts out. Caught between betrayal, a city that suffocates him, and two men as different as night and day - Samson, reckless and burning, and Dmitry, cold and immovable - Kai has no choice but to face the one thing he's been running from all his life: himself. This isn't a love story. It's about scars, survival, and the fragile hope that one day a house can become a home.
Smoke Never Lies
She was all mouth. He was all action. And somehow, they understood each other perfectly. Raven Cross talks fast, moves louder, and keeps her heart guarded behind the kind of attitude that makes most men fold. Scourge? He doesn't talk much at all. Known only by the name that made him a quiet legend in the streets, Donnell Mercer lives on the edge of respect, fear, and secrets. He's not the type to fall, and definitely not for someone like Raven. But what starts off as a well-kept secret slowly turns into something harder to control. And when the lines blur between casual and something more, neither of them are ready for what it exposes. This is a spinoff from the book My Slime. In order for this book to fully make sense, please read My Slime first!Complete

it's been four winters since you last saw kuroo tetsurō. four winters since the voicemail, since the silence, since everything froze between you. you weren't supposed to run into him again- especially not here, in a quiet mountain town full of empty cabins, sleepy bookstores, and too much snow. but now you're neighbors. and the cold isn't the only thing creeping in. he's here to renovate. you're here to forget. and neither of you are saying what really needs to be said. ✿ a slow, winter-soft story about strangers with history, lingering feelings, and the kind of love that never really melts. ✿ (っ﹏-) .｡o because even the coldest hearts eventually thaw. ⸻ #tags: #kurootetsurou #haikyuuxreader #thaw #bittersweetromance #slowburn #secondchancelove #winterstory #emotionalfiction #quietlove #strangerswithhistory #softacheComplete
Trash to Treasure
They called me Trash. No name. No rights. No choice. I was born to serve the pack obedient, silent, invisible. Running was the only freedom I ever tasted... until he found me. He used to be the monster who hurt me. Now he's the man who guards me from the world and from himself. But kindness cuts deeper than cruelty when you don't believe you deserve it. And I can't tell if he's saving me...or atoning for the fact that he's the one who broke me first.
