ISO the dark-eyed man

What do you want?

“Don’t worry about big gestures…I want something real,” she murmurs into his skin, and he inhales sharply, his breath stirring her hair. Her heart slams with the realization that yes, she really has spoken the words aloud, and she draws back, straightening to look him squarely in his perfect, char-dark eyes as she says the rest: “I want emotional entanglement with you.”

aka, The Chapter In Which There is Naught but Unabashed Fluff.

Kylo’s hand is a blur as he reaches up over his shoulder and yanks the second axe free. I catch the handle in time with my free hand, but now the first curved blade has the saber hooked, holding me in place as he forces the second axe toward my neck. My body shudders with the force of fending him off, but it isn’t enough; his weapon keeps relentlessly twitching lower, until it’s within striking distance of my throat.

I glare into his ferocious eyes as the sharp metal inches toward my skin. If this is how I’m going out, then I’m not going to give up—not even after the honed blade is embedded in my body and my blood’s gushing out to stain this unfamiliar ground.

“Enough!” Kylo bellows, and we leap away from each other as he releases the downward pressure on the axe at my neck.

Spurned by her lover Prince Temmin, scullery maid Rey takes up her father’s sword, grudgingly teaming up with bounty hunter Kylo Ren to find Temmin’s intended, a kidnapped princess. 

But war is rising on the horizon, and long-held secrets about the feudal Empire of the Rim are coming to light – things that will forever transform Rey and her world along with it.

CHAPTER 16 NOW AVAILABLE!

Aleks takes care of Alina in the wake of their intense BDSM scene. Featuring subspace and snuggles  🖤🌘🖤

“Goddamn you’re beautiful when you’re terrified,” he breathes, entranced.

Her heart thuds a tattoo of shock amid the silence. Icy revulsion slithers through her, but it’s quickly seared away by the sick longing that heats the secret place between her legs at the thought of surrendering herself to Kylo.

It should be unfathomable, trading herself away to him to be used for his perverse pleasures — but the insides of her thighs slip against each other, slick with hunger as she imagines him rutting inside her and debasing her.

Her fingers tremble against his lapels as she considers her options. How can she want this?

She should try to fight back. Retreat, make contact with Finn’s friends. They might have connections — a politician, a district attorney maybe. Someone with actual power, not a self-taught engie from the middle of nowhere.

She should.

A dark, BDSM dubcon fic in a Beauty and the Beast- or FSOG-style AU.

If I wanted to have you screaming, it wouldn’t be in public.

This man actually said that to her.

Alina knows that she’s grinning like a doofus, but she composes herself and shakes her head, narrowing her eyes in playful suspicion. “Have you always got something clever to say?”

“So you think I’m clever,” Aleks says, arching an eyebrow.

“Too clever for your own good, maybe.”

Cuteness. Banter. Donuts. Alina and Aleks’ date at the Zombie Walk brings more than a few sweet surprises.
