Oriena's grip snapped out and caught the hand which rose to touch her cheek. The skin glowed from her mother’s slap, still stinging faintly. Pain was their province, but not right now, and the affecti...

She did not move. Her brain felt bleached by feral instinct, her chest tight with the breath which forced its way in and out in those moments of fraught silence. It wasn’t that Nox posed a threat. It ...

Oriena had never denied him before. She bit him in anger, not in heat, then released her teeth and shoved him brutally backward. The apartment was tiny. Ori didn’t look back to witness her mother’s ex...

She didn’t want to be here already. The ritual of Christmas had been enough. But the weather was grim, and Dezhda was adamant the domovoy had warned her the sky was going to fall. It was just snow, bu...

His fingers firm at her chin should have been a mistake. Anyone else would’ve earned broken knuckles for that alone. But Sasha didn’t do it to dominate her, he did it because something in him had fina...

Oriena didn’t move away when his fingers traced her jaw and slid to her neck, but something in her expression tightened. It wasn’t the touch itself that unsettled her; it was the absence of intent beh...

She watched him, eyes never leaving his face now. There was no softness in her expression, but there was interest – the kind that sharpened instead of soothed. She wasn't built for reassurance, and hi...

Oriena didn’t pull away when his fingers brushed her leg, but she certainly noticed it. The contact was light and careless, warm skin against skin, the pad of his thumb grazing the edge of ugly damage...

Vodka – plain, unceremonious. Ori poured two measures, heavy-handed and generous, the clink of glass sharp in the quiet. She slid one back across the counter without looking, a gesture closer to chall...

Sasha stayed where he was, water barely trickling over him as he watched the way it traced her skin. The look he gave her wasn’t shy. It wasn’t deferential. It was lust – raw, shameless, unfiltered – ...

She braced him harder against the cold tiles and laughed softly under her breath. Not warmth. Not reassurance. Her mouth found his jaw, his throat – claiming rather than soothing, pressure instead of ...

They shed clothes on the way, leaving a deliberate trail of abandon. Ori didn’t slow for modesty; she pressed into him, rough and teasing, guiding him backwards like a predator savouring the chase. Sh...

Restraint wasn’t something she had expected him to actually stick by, at least not with that kind of simple, soft decisiveness. She didn’t know much about Sasha, but she knew his type. Or she thought ...

Ori didn’t pull away. She pressed into him deliberately, every brush of her body calculated to spark and punish. He didn’t move either, and she felt the tension coil tighter for it. “I suppose,” she e...

Why did he need to lean in like that? It wasn’t confrontational. It wasn’t posturing or challenge or even want, not in the way she recognised it. Instead it was consuming in a quieter way. The tunnels...
