Ankur_Sutradhar_8259
The sky burned red. Flames covered the heavens. Countless experts trembled before one man. Xiao Tian. The Heavenly Flame Emperor. Nine heavenly flames revolved around him like gods. Across the battlefield stood the ancient clans. Among them was the woman he loved. Gu Xuner. Her golden robes fluttered in the wind. Xiao Tian smiled gently. “Xuner… it’s over. Once I defeat them, no one will stop us again.” But her eyes were cold. Cold enough to freeze the world. “Xiao Tian.” Her voice carried no warmth. “You were always useful.” The words struck him like lightning. “What…?” Before he could react— A sword pierced his chest. Blood splattered into the sky. Xiao Tian slowly looked down. The sword belonged to Gu Xuner. “You… betrayed me…?” Xuner looked at him calmly. “I only used you.” Her next words shattered his heart. “The one I love is Xiao Yan.” In the distance, a young man stepped forward. Xiao Yan. The future Flame Emperor. Xiao Tian laughed. His laughter shook the heavens. “So this was all a game…” His cultivation began to collapse. The heavenly flames went berserk. The world trembled. Just as his consciousness faded… He heard a cry. A voice filled with grief. “XIAO TIAN!” Through blurred vision he saw her. The proud queen of the desert. The woman he had ignored for years. Medusa. Tears flowed down her face. At that moment… Xiao Tian finally understood. He had loved the wrong person. Darkness swallowed him.

Hurt Me Like You Mean It [BL]

[Updates resume March. Due to exams] [This book contains, explicit and mature scenes—no r*pe. Not advised for viewers under 18, protect thy purity] Lance Dixon is drowning in a debt that isn’t his. His parents’ financial mistakes have fallen entirely onto him, and his life has collapsed into a constant struggle to stay afloat. He has never denied what he is. Lance is a masochist, and most people he’s dated couldn’t handle that truth. Every relationship ended the same way, leaving him with needs no one was willing to meet. Everything shifts on a night he drinks too much and ends up venting to a stranger. In a mix of frustration and alcohol, Lance jokes that he’d sell himself to anyone willing to pay off his debt. The stranger, Ansel Lowell, doesn’t brush it off. He asks how much. And when Lance tells him, Ansel offers a deal: three months living under his terms, in exchange for clearing the debt completely. The deal is straightforward and seems almost like relief. But as the days pass, the dynamic between them deepens in ways neither expected. What began as a simple exchange grows into a connection that is far more consuming, and far more dangerous, than either of them intended. [Excerpt] Lance meant to pull away when Ansel stepped closer, but his body didn’t move. Ansel’s hand hovered near his jaw, just close enough to make Lance’s breath catch. “Do you understand what you agreed to?” Ansel asked quietly. Lance swallowed. “You’re paying off my debt. I stay with you for three months. That’s it.” A hint of a smile tugged at Ansel’s mouth, which made him more dangerous because of it. “No, Lance. That’s the surface of it. I want you to hear the truth.” Lance’s pulse stumbled. Ansel leaned in just enough that Lance could feel the warmth of his breath. “I’m going to take up space in your life. I’m going to have you when I want you. I’m going to learn every weakness you try to hide, and I will use them. I will claim you, piece by piece, until you can’t tell where your choices end and mine begin.” Lance exhaled shakily. “Do you worst Mr. Lowell, I can handle it.”
