Burning Embers: Scorching Tales of Desire
Warning... or Invitation? That choice is yours.
This isn’t a fairytale.
This isn’t about sweet kisses beneath cherry blossoms or soft smiles under the stars.
No.
This is raw,
This is reckless,
This is “Burning Embers: Scorching Tales of Desire”
A collection of BL short stories carved from lust, laced with obsession, and kissed by chaos.
Each chapter stands on its own, a world where strangers become addictions, roommates cross lines, enemies blur into lovers, and the line between want and need snaps without warning.
These men don’t fall in love.
They fall into temptation.
They crash into each other like lightning against the sea, loud, unforgiving, and beautiful in their destruction.
You’ll find no gentle romance here.
Only the ache of fingertips brushing where they shouldn't, the weight of glances held too long, the gasp before the plunge.
This is for the ones who know love isn’t always tender.
That sometimes, the most unforgettable stories are the ones written in bruises and longing.
This is for those who crave stories that leave a mark, who don’t flinch when desire gets messy, when hearts bleed a little before they beat as one.
Not for the faint-hearted.
Not for the clean-handed.
This is for the bold, the brave, the ones who dare to touch the flame even if it burns.
So turn the page.
Step into the fire.
But don’t say I didn’t warn you---
Because once the embers catch, they never go out.

Chapter: My Favorite Character In The Flesh: Part 8The next morning broke bright, sunlight streaming through the blinds in slanted gold lines. Keenan stirred against Geoff’s chest, blinking at the strange ceiling as if he still expected stone and timber instead of plaster and paint. He didn’t say anything right away, only pressed his face into the warmth of Geoff’s shoulder and inhaled as though anchoring himself.When Geoff finally coaxed him out of bed, Keenan dressed with stiff dignity, as though armor rather than soft cotton clung to his body. Yet his eyes betrayed him, darting, curious, catching every oddity in the room and beyond.Keenan walked through the city at Geoff’s side, his eyes climbing higher and higher until they reached the jagged crown of glass and steel above. He tried to hold his composure, but words betrayed him before he could stop them.“Those dragons stand so still,” he muttered, staring at the skyscrapers. “How do you keep them from waking?”

Chapter: My Favorite Character In The Flesh: Part 7The night pressed close around their little world, heavy with silence except for the mingled rush of their breaths. Geoff lay back, chest heaving, watching the way Keenan hovered above him like a man caught between instinct and hesitation.Keenan’s eyes burned, dark and unsteady, his lips still swollen from the last bruising kiss. His hands trembled where they rested on Geoff’s shoulders, yet he didn’t pull away. Instead, he studied him, studied the way Geoff’s chest rose, the way every little shift of his body drew a hiss of breath. It was new, raw, frightening. And intoxicating.Geoff lifted a hand, sliding it along Keenan’s jaw, forcing his gaze back to him. “Don’t think,” he murmured, voice rough. “Just feel. I’ll show you.”Keenan swallowed hard but nodded.Their mouths met again, harder, teeth clashing, lips dragging until the kiss deepened, tongues tangling in desperate rhythm. Keenan gasped into it,

Chapter: My Favorite Character In The Flesh: Part 6Geoff should’ve been spent. His body was still twitching from the force of release, lungs burning for air, sweat stinging his eyes. But lying there, sprawled over Keenan, their skin sticky with heat and cum, he realized he wasn’t done, not even close.Neither was Keenan.Keenan trembled beneath him, chest heaving, dark hair plastered to his forehead, but his eyes, half-lidded, dazed, still burned when they met Geoff’s. His lips, swollen, red, parted, let out shaky breaths, and when Geoff shifted, cock brushing Keenan’s thigh, Keenan’s hips answered with a restless roll, cock already stirring, hard again, aching.Geoff groaned low in his throat, voice rough. “You’re going to kill me.”Keenan’s breathless laugh cut into a gasp as Geoff dragged a hand down his stomach, over the slick mess of cum coating their skin, smearing it between his fingers. He pressed lower, hand wrapped Keenan’s cock, stroked slow, teasing,

Chapter: My Favorite Character In The Flesh: Part 5The air in the room was heavy, damp with sweat and the echo of what they had just done. Geoff lay half sprawled across Keenan, chest rising and falling in rough rhythm, lips still brushing the curve of his shoulder as if reluctant to pull away. Keenan’s hand stayed clutched at his side, nails faintly etched into his skin, his grip trembling but refusing to let go. For a moment, it might have ended there, silence, exhaustion, the quiet thrum of connection humming between their chests. But the silence carried heat instead of calm. Their bodies had found something, struck a current they couldn’t shut off. The aftermath didn’t cool them, it set the next spark. Keenan shifted first, just a restless move of his hips, but Geoff felt it like a jolt of electricity. He lifted his head, eyes dark, jaw clenched. Keenan’s lips were red and swollen, his chest flushed, hair damp against his forehead, and Geoff’s restrain

Chapter: My Favorite Character In The Flesh: Part 4The night stretched before them, an uncharted promise of discovery, passion, and a bond growing fiercely between two souls from different worlds. The air between them felt charged, thick, like lightning waiting to strike. Neither moved away; both leaned in, pulled by something too primal to resist.Their mouths met again, harder this time, heat pressed against heat, teeth grazing, lips dragging until the kiss turned almost bruising. Keenan shuddered under it, caught between fear and hunger, while Geoff devoured him with slow, deliberate control, like a man memorizing the taste of salvation.Geoff’s hand roamed lower, sliding along the sharp ridge of Keenan’s ribs, fingers splaying against the tense lines of his stomach. He could feel every tremor, every shallow breath, each one a confession that Keenan couldn’t voice aloud. His touch was reverent, yes, but possessive too, claiming territory inch by inch, mapping skin like he

Chapter: My Favorite Character In The Flesh: Part 3 Water ran warm over them as Geoff turned on the shower, steam curling around the small bathroom. Keenan stood stiffly, still processing everything he’d experienced, while Geoff’s hands moved confidently to help wash away the tension clinging to their skin.“Feeling better?” Geoff asked with a teasing smile, his touch gentle as he lathered soap along Keenan’s shoulders.Keenan gave a shy nod, the unfamiliar intimacy settling softly between them. “The water... it’s unlike any river or rain I know. Warm, comforting.”Geoff laughed softly. “There’s a lot you don’t know yet. How about we start with outside?”Keenan’s brows knitted in suspicion. “Outside? Into the wild?”Geoff grinned. “The wild’s just a city. And I promise, I’ll protect you.”As they stepped out of the apartment, Keenan’s eyes widened at the cacophony of sounds and lights. Then suddenly, a shiny metal beast roared past, tires humming against the pavement.Kee

Chapter: Wasted Money on a Useless Transaction CATALINA'S PERSPECTIVE MORETTI'S ESTATE By the second day, Carlos’ estate office was practically my war room. Documents no longer piled, they flowed, from Nikolai’s desk to mine, from mine straight under Carlos’ reluctant pen.I leaned back in the chair, fingers drumming on the desk, eyes flicking to Nico. “You. Keep Dante busy. Mislead him. If he even breathes near Via Sant’Angelo, I want you on his throat first.”Nico’s brows rose, lips twitching. “On his throat? That’s a first. Usually you ask me to dance around him, not strangle him.”“I don’t care if you dance, strangle, or serenade him,” I said flatly. “Just don’t let him get near Sant’Angelo. At any cost.”He chuckled low, leaning back with his usual smugness. “Consider it done. If I have to play the fool to keep his eyes off you, I’ll play it well.”I ignored his grin and shifted to Nikolai, who was already flipping through coded reports with calm precision. “Update

Chapter: Another Battle, But With Papers CATALINA'S PERSPECTIVE MORETTI'S ESTATE Carlos's Estate Office Carlos flinched when I smiled. Not the soft, angelic smile I gave strangers, but the wide, sharp one that stretched across my face like a blade. The one he’d seen when we were children and he knew he was about to be dragged through hell. “Since I’m staying for a while,” I said sweetly, “why don’t we make it productive?” His eyes widened. “Catalina-” I pinched his ear between my fingers and yanked him forward. He cursed, stumbling, but I didn’t loosen my grip. “Don’t whine. You’ll live.” Like a scolded boy, the Don of the Morettis was dragged across his own halls, men staring, too afraid to even breathe wrong. I threw open the doors to his office and shoved him inside. “Sit. And don’t move.” The desk was a warzone. Folders half-open, receipts stuffed between ledgers, unsigned contracts stacked lik

Chapter: Carlos Finally Resolved to be the Don CATALINA'S PERSPECTIVE MORETTI'S ESTATE Training HallThe mutters spread like a virus.“She’s the boss’s sister, of course Roan lost.”“No man’s gonna hit her seriously.”“Unfair fight from the start.”I stopped cold, the frost in my gaze shutting every mouth that dared move.“You think he let me win?” I asked softly, dangerously.Not one of them answered. But the doubt was written plain across their faces.“Fine,” I said, voice slicing clean. “If you want a comparison, then I’ll oblige.”A shadow moved forward. Nikolai. My Nikolai. He peeled off his shirt as he stepped onto the mat, muscle and scar and cold calculation carved into every line of him.The soldiers muttered again, uneasy this time.“That’s the Lucchese’s man.”“No...La Rosa Nera’s.”“Unfair, unfair-”“Unfair?” Nikolai’s voice rumbled low, a dangerous grin tugging at his mouth. “Then let’s even it ou

Chapter: She Sparred With Moretti's Strongest SoldierCATALINA'S PERSPECTIVE MORETTI'S ESTATE Training Hall “Call the medics,” I ordered flatly, not even sparing Nico or Carlos a glance. A couple of Carlos’ men scrambled out of the hall immediately. By the time the medics rushed in, Nico was still groaning dramatically on the bench while Carlos sat with bloody knuckles, smirking through the sting. “Idiots,” I muttered. “Both of you.” Carlos chuckled under his breath, wincing as the medic disinfected his hand. Nico, however, perked up immediately, eyes narrowing suspiciously. He knew that tone in my voice. “Don’t even think about it,” he snapped. But I was already speaking, eyes on Carlos. “Who’s your strongest soldier?” The room froze. Carlos tilted his head, curious. “Strongest? That would be Roan. Why?” “I want to spar.” “What?!” Nico shot upright, nearly knocking the medic

Chapter: Carlos VS NicoCATALINA'S PERSPECTIVE MORETTI'S ESTATE Training Hall Carlos nearly dropped his cigarette when his eyes traced over my neck again. “Madonna mia… sorella, what the hell is this?” Nico smirked instantly, leaning back in his chair with all the arrogance of a man who wanted credit. “Exactly what it looks like.” Carlos snapped his gaze to him. “Do you have a death wish? She has a husband, that husband. If Dante sees her like this-” “Then maybe he’ll finally realize he doesn’t own every inch of her.” Nico tilted his head, utterly unfazed. “Besides, you should be thanking me. At least she was with someone who worships her properly.” Carlos slammed his palm on the table. “Worship? This isn’t worship, this is madness! What are you to her, huh? Some lover lurking in the shadows?” Nico’s smile sharpened. “If she’ll let me, gladly. Lover, shadow, anything she wants.” He lean

Chapter: She's Fully Marked By NicoCATALINA'S PERSPECTIVE MORETTI'S ESTATE I woke first. Afternoon light cut through the curtains, softer than dawn, and the weight of Nico’s arm still banded tight around my waist, his leg hooked over mine like he’d caged me even in sleep.I shifted, trying to slide free. His grip only tightened.“Nico,” I murmured, elbowing his ribs.He groaned, buried his face against my shoulder like a child refusing to wake. “No. Still mine.”I rolled my eyes, twisting enough to see his hair a wild mess against the pillow. “Get up. You’ve taken enough liberties for one night.”At that, his lashes lifted, dark eyes catching the light with lazy amusement. His voice rasped, sleep-rough. “One night wasn’t enough.” His gaze slid down my body, lingering where the sheets barely covered me. “Clearly.”I followed his stare, and cursed under my breath. My skin was a battlefield of his making. Dark bruises bloomed across my collarbone,
