A Second Too Late

Shanini_2207
Pond has spent years being watched. His talent behind the camera made him a familiar name in the department, but it also trapped him inside other people’s expectations. His photographs linger on moments that arrive too late, on empty spaces and quiet aftermaths most people overlook… except Light. Light is a year younger, still trying to find his place. He wants into the photography program, not for recognition or praise, but to learn how to see without disappearing in the process. What begins as casual encounters between classes, shared lunches, and afternoons spent taking photos slowly turns into a closeness neither of them rushes to name. There are no grand declarations, no forced tension. Just weeks layering into something steady, built from routine, silence, and shared attention. Between cameras, absurd punishments, late-night studying, and conversations that reveal more than they intend, Pond and Light discover that sometimes the most meaningful moments don’t happen at the perfect time… but a second too late. A Second Too Late is an mlm slow-burn story about learning how to look, being truly seen, and finding connection in the spaces between moments.

Undressed By The Mafia God

Warning: Heavy sexual content and a fucked up male lead. Throw morally grey out the window. Excerpt: "Do you trust me?" His hand drifted to her neck. If he had asked her to walk into the fire with him right then, to tumble willingly into chaos, she would have said yes without hesitation. Her entire body shivered as she nodded, heart hammering, her pulse a wild drum against her ribs. "Always use your words, Bambola. Do you trust me?" he asked again. "Yes…yes…" Her back arched against him instinctively, skin flushed and glistening, every nerve screaming, every muscle taut and alive. Luca's other hand tightened at her neck, squeezing until she gasped for breath. The sensation was exquisite and terrifying, every nerve ending alight as he manipulated the fine line between restriction and pleasure. Vee squeezed her eyes shut, nails digging into his arm as she clung to him, her breath rattling in her chest. He sensed her reaching the edge and drove her closer, the hand at her neck tightening harder. "Luc…" she choked out, a fragmented plea that shattered as her body convulsed, releasing a hot, desperate wave against his fingers and the rug beneath them. Synopsis: She insulted the devil. He decided to own her. Veronica Scalese walks into New York’s elite club, ‘Commissioned’ by accident—and mouths off to the wrong man; Luciano Genovese popularly known as ‘The Devil’. He grants favours but gets your soul in return. When Luca comes to collect a debt from her father, the payment demanded is flesh. Veronica becomes both Luca’s weakness and his obsession. He burns his empire to the ground to keep her. Undressed by the Mafia God is a mafia romance story where power is foreplay, love is a liability, and the most terrifying thing a god can do… is fall.
