All Chapters of Her Bloom Isn’t Red Anymore: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Chapter 60: Time Stands Still While Memories Whisper What’s Unspoken Jules moved with quiet precision, patient on the surface but every motion calculated, every touch designed to lure Aria further. Her lips traced over Aria’s neck, teasing along the sensitive curves of her collarbone before brushing over her chest, fingertips brushing lightly against the nipples through the thin fabric, drawing soft, broken moans that betrayed Aria’s restraint. Aria’s hands grew bolder, cupping Jules’ back, pulling her closer, pressing urgently into her lips, desperate to feel more. The room seemed to vanish around them — the glow of the screen, the soft hum of the movie, meaningless compared to the heat building between them. Each brush of skin, every whisper of contact, every gasp and tremor fed the tension, a slow, deliberate pull toward a desire neither of them could deny. Jules let her patience linger just long enough to drive Aria wild, every touch a promise, every kiss a command, and Aria me

Chapter 62: I Remember Her Body Better Than My Own The world was quieter now. No late-night texts. No buzz of a phone lighting up with her name. Just silence — heavy, deliberate — as if the world itself punished Jules with absence. She lay in bed, eyes tracing the ceiling, earbuds still in though they weren’t playing anything. Static filled the empty space where sound should be. She couldn’t pull them out — it felt like holding onto something invisible, something that tethered her to a fragment of Aria. Her phone sat dark beside her. Dead — or maybe just stubborn. She had charged it three times today just to open the old folder — /A/ — where every Aria picture lived. Hidden behind passwords, a digital shrine she revisited, hoping it could bring her back. But tonight, she didn’t need photos. She remembered everything too vividly already. The way Aria had fallen asleep on her chest, one hand slipping under her shirt as if it belonged there. The way she’d text Jules minutes after le

Chapter 64: I’m Torn Between Firelight, Frost, and Forgotten Vows The room was dim, lit only by the faint glow of a dying phone screen on the nightstand. Soft static hummed from cheap earbuds tangled around Aria’s fingers — the same pair she used to borrow from Jules, never returning them. Rain tapped gently against the window, rhythmic and unbothered, like the world outside hadn’t splintered. A half - finished mug of instant coffee sat on the sill, long since cold. A grey hoodie, frayed at the sleeves — Jules’ hoodie — hung off the edge of the bed, as if it still remembered the body that once filled it. Aria stirred in her sleep, tossing and turning. Her fingers fidgeting, reaching as though trying to grab something just out of reach. Whimpers escaped her lips. “Jules…” she murmured, voice thick with unease. Selene stirred beside her, silent and alert. She didn’t speak — didn’t tell her the truth of what this was. Not yet. She pressed a hand lightly to Aria’s arm, grounding her,

Chapter 66: This Is What Want Feels Like Without Shame Before she ever let Selene touch her without flinching, before she stopped second - guessing every glance, every kiss, every brush of skin, there had been a night that stuck in Aria’s memory like a mark she couldn’t scrub away. It wasn’t dramatic. No thunder cracking through the city, no gunshots in the distance. Just the hum of a weak bulb swaying overhead and the muffled hush of wind dragging along broken windows. Selene had been sprawled on that same battered couch, scrolling through her phone like nothing mattered, while Aria sat stiffly at the edge, her body buzzing with a tension she didn’t yet know how to name. Aria remembered the way Selene kept catching her staring, a teasing curve playing at her lips every time, making her cheeks burn pink. She remembered thinking she should get up, walk away, say this is too much, too fast. But instead, she stayed. She stayed even when Selene crouched in front of her, resting her ar

Chapter 68: She Tasted Like Honey. I Drank Every Drop The solar panel clipped to Aria’s bag blinked weakly in the dawn light, catching the last of its charge before the sky dulled under another sheet of gray. The storm hadn’t broken yet, but the air already tasted like static — sharp, dry, metallic at the back of her tongue, as though the atmosphere itself was wound too tight. Selene adjusted the modified signal tracker on her wrist. The display flickered blue, then fizzled to black. “No signal. Again.” “We’re too far out,” Aria murmured, scanning the dead street. Burnt - out cars lined the road like fossils, windows caved in, vines worming through cracked leather seats until the metal frames looked more like roots than vehicles. A toppled smart billboard leaned crooked in the gutter, still stuttering flickering - glow across its cracked screen: Your Future. Your Control. Upgrade Today. Aria scoffed under her breath. “Yeah. That aged well.” Selene didn’t answer. Her coat shifte
