𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑 | a short story

Lior Laurent has always been a survivor-long before the cameras, the fans, and the men who paid to see her but never cared to know her. Growing up in a cramped Miami apartment with a retired pornstar mother whose love came twisted, she learned early that home wasn't safe and love wasn't soft.

Now she's the hood's favorite fantasy-thick, magnetic, extroverted, glowing under neon lights. She's dated rappers, ball players, high-profile men, but none have ever touched her soul. Behind the flawless poses, Lior is tired. The industry feels like a trap she's ready to escape.

The boss's nephew-Cashmere Beauvais-is rich, polished, dangerously smooth with a sharp edge. One look, one laugh, one Miami attitude-laced comeback from Lior, and he's hooked. To everyone else, she's a fantasy. To Cashmere, she's a woman worth fighting for.

He sees past the fame, past the filters, past the toxic past draining her dry. And for the first time, Lior feels something real-soft, dangerous, and pure in a way she's never known.

But where she's from, love always comes with ulterior motives. Jealous exes, industry drama, and family demons won't let her go. Cashmere becomes her safe place-the man who holds her like her scars don't scare him and kisses her like she's sacred.

He's ready to fight for the woman he refuses to lose-his peace, his heartbeat, his pornstar.
