Feeding The Fear

Elias has always lived in the dark.

Raised under a father's strict control and a mother's quiet submission, he learned early that safety comes from power-and that love can be mistaken for possession. His past relationships ended in tension, obsession, and regret, leaving him brooding, guarded, and afraid of what he might become.

Then Mara arrives.

Playful, fearless, and full of surprises, she sees through his walls and dares him to face the truth. When she discovers his hidden desire to feed and encourage her softness, she doesn't flee-she tests him, teases him, and pushes him to confront the line between care and control.

As their love deepens, Elias must decide whether he will let his past define him... or finally learn to want without needing.
And Mara must choose whether to trust a man who once used love as a leash.

A slow-burning romance about healing, consent, and the quiet power of being seen.
