When men truly admire and love you they’ll be too scared to even touch you;

I firmly believe when a man truly loves you, he is extremely careful and intentional with his touch.

It's not that he is not attracted or that he’s 'nonchalant' and playing hard to get, no. He values and reveres you so much that he doesn’t want even a fingertip of his to lay on you without your permission.

And thus he waits for you to initiate gestures. So he can be completely sure that he's not hurting you, staining you with the unholy lust that has been coursing through his veins for you from the moment he got closer to you. He is so considerate and careful, asking for permission repeatedly even as his hands practically vibrate with restrained desire.

The touch starts slow and barely there.

The kisses start hesitant, soft.

His hands shake as they move upwards from your hips to your waist to your back, pressing you against his chest abruptly as the desire spikes before catching himself;

“Is this okay? I’m not hurting you am I?”

You let out an astonished giggle before kissing him again “You are not…I’m not so fragile, baby. Give me a little more credit here.” You tease as you begin to unbutton his shirt, his breath hitching with every inch of skin that is bared.

Oh God…it was happening, his mind is ringing as you are busy unwrapping him like a candy box (you licking your lips as you undress him is just making it worse actually).

He becomes a bit bolder as you walk to the bed tangled up each other, peppering kisses first on your cheeks, nose and then sniffing your neck before landing a sloppy kiss on your neck, making you shiver.

“Is it good? May I continue?” He asks hopeful and you nod.

“Yes…do it.”

Intoxicated by your scent, he leans in and now starts to kiss up and down your neck, unscrewing the cap on his desire a bit more with each trail of desperate spit that lathers on your skin as he tastes you while you both try to undress as quickly as possible.

And when you lie back on the sheets completely naked before him, he inhales so sharply it pricks his throat, pupils dilated in a way that makes him look almost inhuman. But he’s still trying to rein it in, afraid to hurt you in his frenzy.

So you grab his face and pull him close:

“Touch me like you mean it. Like you want to make sure I will never forget your touch.” You say, looking right into his eyes “I won’t break…but try anyway.” You say, voice thick with desire and something in him snaps like a thread that’s has been stretched taut too long-

Because now that you have given him that clear and explicit green light?

May God save your soul🙏

Ayana: This is far too hot, I can't eat it

Vuk: You're far too hot, and I manage just fine

Ayana: (blushing) Oh-

Jordan: ONE NORMAL DINNER. I JUST WANT ONE NORMAL DINNER

[lighthousepigeons]

Ayana: How do you feel about children?

Vuk: They're okay I guess. I mean if I saw one, I wouldn't throw a rock at it.

Jordan: Why would you throw a rock at a child?

Vuk: I just said I wouldn't.

Book Review: King of Envy by Ana Huang

If you’re the type who enjoys watching emotionally stunted billionaires self-destruct over women they can’t have, welcome. You’re home.

🎀 The Vibe:

Obsessive alpha who communicates via deadly glares and hands

Beauty and the Beast, but make it silent and Serbian

Forbidden romance

Low on plot, high on pining

Ana Huang’s signature universe crossovers

🎀 What works:

Vuk: This man is obsessed. He’s intense, reserved, terrifying to everyone except Ayana, and it’s hot. He’s the best part of this book, hands down.

Ayana: She is a supermodel. She has a functional family and no tragic past. She is..... okay. (I mean, there is nothing really special about her character. But I like her.)

ASL Representation: It’s rare to see a love interest who uses sign language and has chosen silence as a trauma response.

The crossovers: If you’re a fan of the Twisted and Kings of Sin series, the cameos here were chef’s kiss. They actually made sense, unlike some other shared universes (cough Dark Verse's Syndicator). Kai and Dante especially stole every scene they were in.

❌ What Didn’t Land:

Pacing issues: The first half is decent, but around 70% in, it just... drags. Characters start keeping secrets for the sake of “tension,” but we all know what’s going on. That “if we just talked this would be over” energy was frustrating.

The plot: Barely there. If you read the blurb, you already know the entire trajectory. No shockers, no big twist, just a long, slow emotional spiral.

Vuk being Cristian Harper, just mute edition: Obsessive, protective, emotionally constipated billionaire? Yeah, we’ve seen this man before. Vuk felt like Cristian 2.0—but this time with a tragic backstory and no spoken words. Same vibes, less dialogue.

🎀 Spoiler Zone (because we’re being real):

Ayana’s fiancé? A placeholder with zero depth. We all knew he was getting dumped.

The sex scenes? Worth the wait, but maybe a bit too delayed. When it finally happens, it hits—but girl, we were starving.

We get a spicy little setup for Maya and Sebastian—which I will be seated for.

🎀 Final Verdict:

🌟 Rating: 3.5/5 Stars

Is it the best-written thing out there? Nah. But did I eat it up like it was my last meal? Hell yes.

Read it for:

The intense stares

The unspoken obsession

Slow burn

The moment Vuk finally breaks (you’ll know it when it hits)

Skip if you need:

A fast-paced plot

Big twists

Would I recommend it? Yep. Will you scream at the characters for being emotionally constipated? Oh, absolutely. Will you love every second anyway? Without question.

Kinktober Day 10

kink: dacryphilia meaning: arousal from tears or watching others cry pairing(s): vuk markovic x afab!reader warning(s): kinda dark elements, crying, overstim, rough sex, unprotected sex (wrap it pls), slight mention of impregnation word count: 619 a/n: i honestly feel sleep deprived icl, but i also dont think this will do well, but i loves him and ayana so much. remember to eat and drink something, love yas, mwah! -Cilla

you had both been at it for hours, your legs changing from being pressed against your chest or ankles against his chest.

vuk continuously bullied his cock into you, drawing orgasm after orgasm out of you. you were almost on the verge of tears with how good he was making you feel.

vuk was staring at your face, taking in every expression you made while he held your ankles in place, pounding into you with a feverish need. he kept his eyes on you while he fucked you through another orgasm. he hadn’t come as many times as you, only a few times. he was more focused on making you feel good.

but when you opened your eyes, as you came down from your high, tears slid down your cheeks. vuk’s eyes clouded over, his hips stuttering just barely. he leaned down to you and nibbled your earlobe.

“do you want me to stop, Babygirl? does it hurt” he asks, softly but not too soft. he was still pounding into you. the tip if his cock was hitting that perfect spot inside of you over and over that had you seeing stars.

vuk pressed his forehead to yours and stared into your eyes. you couldn’t let out anything but a pathetic little sob. vuk’s eyes clouded over again and you just barely felt his cock twitch inside of you. you had never cried during sex with him, but he didn’t look worried.

if anything, he looked even more turned on.

“do you want me to stop? say the word and i’ll stop right now baby, promise” he pressed kisses on your chin and neck, making you whine out. he still made no effort to stop. you clawed at his bicep and made a sound that was somewhere between a whimper and a sob. he smiled softly, “c’mon, baby, you can answer, i know you can”

“can’t do it” you whimper “feels so good, vuk- but i can’t” you almost sob. tears were falling freely down your cheeks.

vuk brought a hand up and wiped your tears, his cock was obviously twitching inside of you, it was a huge contrast to the tears that were falling down your cheeks.

“do you want me to keep going? i’m gonna come so deep inside of you” you let out a choked sob at his words, barely able to comprehend what he was saying through the pleasure mixed with tears, you shook your head vigorously at his words, not wanting him to stop at all. “are you sure? because if i don’t stop now i’m not stopping soon, you look too good like this, tears in your fucking gorgeous eyes, whining and moaning for me to come so deep inside of you, hm?” he cood.

his pace picked up quickly, he shifted again so your knees were against your chest. one of his hands kept them there while the other hand travelled down to tease your clit.

vuk circled your clit a few times and that was all you needed. you clamped down around him, making him spiral and come along with you. he kept his eyes trained on your face as he came, watching tears fall down your cheeks as your eyes squeezed closed.

“need you to squeeze around me, make me come baby” he groaned, keeping his eyes on your face as you audibly sobbed, tears dripping down your face into your hair and the pillows beneath you “need you to make me come so hard” he groaned. by the cloudy look in his eyes and the way his thrusts were growing sloppy, you could tell he was getting close, and so were you.

“i should make you cry more often”

[relentlessescapism]

i don’t normally feel this way about book couples but i genuinely think ayana would crawl into vuk’s skin and live between his ribs if she could
