The Edge of Healing
Jake Lee's world collapsed the day his older sister died in a plane crash-taking with her not only his closest confidant, but the promise that she'd help him reach his dream of going to the moon. Grief wraps around him like a straitjacket. Sleepless nights give way to anxiety attacks, and self-harm becomes the only outlet he can control. In a twisted answer to his pain, a tiny demon named Lux appears-sent as a guardian, but functioning more like a curse. Instead of offering comfort, Lux needles at Jake's every weakness, stoking his fear, guilt, and spiraling thoughts. When his ex-boyfriend, Felix, ends up in the hospital after a car crash, Jake goes to see him. But even in that fragile reunion, something is broken. Jake flinches at Felix's touch. He pulls away, unable to explain why the person he once loved now feels like someone he can't reach-like trying to hold onto a dream fading at dawn. As the distance between them grows, and Lux's influence deepens, Jake is left at a crossroads: keep falling into the darkness, or find a way to silence the demons-both real and imagined-and maybe, finally, breathe again.Complete
It Wasn't Love ✔️
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape.
