Chapter 39: She Doesn't See Me, She Sees a Weapon

Aria spotted her first.

The woman bolted around the corner of the pharmacy, hair wild, jacket ripped at the sleeve, sprinting like hell itself was on her heels. She barely saw them — just flung herself forward, eyes wide, breathing sharp and uneven.

Right behind her, a roamer tore after her with a broken gait, one leg dragging, mouth soaked in something dark.

"Damn —" Aria didn't even think.

She dropped her pack and sprinted forward, yanking the rusted crowbar from the side strap. The metal was cold in her hands, heavier than she remembered. She swung hard at the roamer's head — too wide. Missed. The force jolted up her arms, and she stumbled.

"Move!" Selene snapped, fast and calm.

Aria dropped low as Selene surged past her, blade flashing once — clean, controlled, brutal.

The roamer's head snapped sideways with a sickening crunch. It crumpled at the woman's feet, and Selene stood over it, chest rising, pale eyes still glowing faintly

  • Crimson Bloomed: Ascend   Chapter 68: What We Leave Behind Us

    Chapter 68: What We Leave Behind Us The engine thrummed under Aria’s hands, steady as her focus. The RV felt different with her in the driver’s seat — like it was learning her rhythm now, syncing to her pulse. Selene was resting in the passenger seat, legs pulled up on the dash, arms folded, eyes half - closed but alert in that quiet, predator way of hers. “You’re staring,” Aria said without looking away from the road. “I’m not,” Selene murmured. “You are.” Selene didn’t argue. She just smiled, barely. They’d loaded up more supplies back at the last stop — just enough. Not too much. Nothing flashy. Just water, dry food, spare batteries, some old wool blankets that smelled like cedar. Aria was the one who insisted on rationing the layout of things in the RV. Selene didn’t stop her. She liked watching Aria care about details like that. Liked the way she moved when she was focused — precise, like she was stitching the world back together one careful item at a time. The sun was st

  • Crimson Bloomed: Ascend   Chapter 67: You’re Not Sneaking Off, Little Flame III

    Chapter 67: You’re Not Sneaking Off, Little Flame III Aria flopped back against the comforter, dragging the blanket higher up to her chin, her blush still lingering. Selene rolled onto her side, hand casually resting over Aria’s stomach now, like she belonged there. She did. That was the problem. “You’re staring again,” Aria muttered, eyes still on the ceiling. “Can you blame me?” Selene replied smoothly. “You’re blushing like I didn’t already see you shaking spreading your legs while I taste you.” Aria groaned. “You’re evil.” “You knew that before you crawled into my lap.” “That was — that was a moment.” “A moment where you begged.” Aria tossed a pillow over Selene’s face with a muffled squeak. Selene just laughed and let it fall to the side. Her silver hair was tousled now, spilling across the blanket like moonlight, and she looked way too satisfied with herself. There was no guilt in her expression. Just fondness. Hunger too, but a quieter kind — like she’d finally tasted

  • Crimson Bloomed: Ascend   Chapter 66: You’re Not Sneaking Off, Little Flame II

    Chapter 66: You’re Not Sneaking Off, Little Flame II “I know,” Selene said softly. She moved up her body, kissing the skin just beneath Aria’s ribs, then her sternum, then the side of one breast — cool lips leaving a trail of heat behind. Aria’s hands found her shoulders, weakly pulling her up. Selene smiled and kissed her. Deep, slow, sensual. Letting Aria taste herself on her lips. Aria moaned into it, hips twitching even now, the aftershocks still rolling through her. “You’re amazing,” Aria whispered, dazed. “You haven’t seen anything yet,” Selene whispered against her mouth, then trailed kisses down her neck again. Aria laughed, breathless and messy. “I don’t think I can take more.” Selene raised an eyebrow, cold fingers sliding down her belly again. “You sure about that?” Aria opened her mouth to argue — but then Selene’s tongue flicked her clit again. Her breath hitched. Her whole body jerked. “Oh my—!” “Thought so,” Selene murmured. She didn’t give Aria time to reco

  • Crimson Bloomed: Ascend   Chapter 65: You’re Not Sneaking Off, Little Flame

    Chapter 65: You’re Not Sneaking Off, Little Flame Aria stirred under the thick comforter, the weight of it pressing against her bare skin. The floor beneath the makeshift bedding was hard, but the mattress of blankets they’d layered last night softened the cold enough to make it bearable. The real problem wasn’t the floor. It was the body wrapped around her. Selene. Oh god. Oh god oh god oh god — She had actually slept with Selene again. Still asleep. Or at least pretending to be. Aria could feel her cool breath brushing against her neck, steady and unbothered, like the woman hadn’t just ruined her entire sense of self - control the night before. Her arm was slung over Aria’s waist, fingers loose but anchored, like even in sleep she refused to let go. Aria’s cheeks were already flushed and heating further as memory flooded in. Her heartbeat thumped louder in her ears than she wanted to admit. She was naked. Entirely naked. Tangled in Selene. Her thighs ached, her lips still ti

  • Crimson Bloomed: Ascend   Chapter 64: Everything We Can Carry

    Chapter 64: Everything We Can Carry 3:27 a.m. They didn’t say it out loud, but they knew they weren’t sleeping tonight. The air had that feeling again — thick, stretched, and just slightly wrong. Like time had been twisted into something unreliable. Like if they stopped moving, the world would start unraveling again. So they kept going. Through hollow streets and trashed storefronts, lit only by the flickering remains of streetlamps and the thin glow of an old lantern they passed between them. No drama. No panic. Just that quiet, electric urgency. The kind born of instinct and exhaustion and the kind of grief you can’t name out loud. Aria didn’t ask where they were going. Not because she didn’t want to know — because she didn’t need to. Selene moved like she had a map tattooed behind her eyes, and Aria trusted that. Trusted her. Not blindly. Not because of some past life. But because in a world that no longer explained itself, Selene was one of the only things that made sense. Th

  • Crimson Bloomed: Ascend   Chapter 63: Cuddle Tax and Pocket Hoarding

    Chapter 63: Cuddle Tax and Pocket Hoarding Aria blinked herself awake, blinking blearily in the dim light leaking from the cracked emergency panel overhead. The faint hum of the power still running made her feel like they were somewhere almost normal. For a second, it almost felt like waking up from a long nap in a hotel. Until her eyes focused — and landed straight on Selene. Aria froze. Selene was lying next to her, close enough that their knees brushed under the makeshift blanket they’d bundled together. Her eyes were closed, lips slightly parted, hair soft and tousled around her cheekbones like she hadn’t just taken out half a pack of roamers yesterday. She looked perfect. Unreal. And Aria… was staring. She tried to look away, she really did. But her gaze drifted back to Selene’s lips. They looked soft. Cold. Kissable. Her stomach flipped. She swallowed hard. What the hell is wrong with me? Inches. She leaned in just a little. Then a little more. Close enough that she co
