Closer To You [jikook]
In the quiet spaces between words and silences, they stumble, two fractured souls reaching through the dark. Burnt mornings, tangled nights, and the weight of all the things left unsaid. Love here isn't a gentle flame, it's a storm, fierce and fragile, pulling them closer even as it threatens to tear them apart. This is a story of scars and surrender, of fragile hope whispered beneath broken breaths, and the endless ache of wanting someone to stay .. even when it feels impossible. Closer. Always closer.Complete

Mahogany and Teakwood
You've seen the posters. You know, the ones for missing kids. The ones hung on grocery store bulletin boards and gas station walls, dog-eared and ancient-looking under their scratched, yellowing glass. All those names and dates and blurry, weather-stained snapshots. Look at those faces sometime, really look. Because I'll tell you a secret. It's a lie. The ones who vanished without a trace? Missing for years, even decades...just gone, like they've dropped off the face of the earth? Those are Fae kidnappings. My name is Virgil Storm, and I was one of them. Virgil escaped from Arcadia after sixteen years of faery imprisonment, bearing colored rings around his pupils and the ability to sprout flowers from any substance. He thought he was free. Two years later, his faery master tracked him down.Complete
Divine Feminine (Paul Atreides #1)
"Femi," Heated lips whispered my name as hot arms enclosed around me. "Burn with me." It was a command I couldn't disobey. Not like I had a choice, but I did burn. Gods, I burned with him. The fire took us; skin and bone but it was different now. With him, now it was, the fire was something I could manage and together we drowned in it. ~ The Great Divine Series | Book 1 All Rights Reserved ©2023ChxnelroseComplete
