Dedication Through Light And Darkness

Ils s’aiment comme on se noie : sans retenue, sans air, sachant que chaque vague les rapproche du fond. Leurs jours sont des nuits blanches, leurs caresses des batailles, leurs silences des aveux trop lourds. Puis un matin, sans un mot, elle part. Non par lassitude, mais par lucidité. Certains incendies sont trop beaux pour devenir des cendres. Elle emporte l’incendie entier dans sa poitrine. Une cicatrice à vif qui, désormais, éclaire toutes ses nuits. L’amour passe. L’intensité, elle, demeure.

Camille et Léo forment un couple stable, jusqu'à ce qu'Eléna, artiste libre et tourmentée, entre dans leur vie. Une attraction immédiate et dévastatrice naît entre les deux femmes, tandis que Léo, d'abord témoin impuissant, devient progressivement l'enjeu silencieux de leur conflit intérieur. Eléna, incapable de choisir, entretient une relation passionnelle avec Camille tout en provoquant un désir ambigu chez Léo. Un triangle amoureux se forme, fait de jalousies rentrées, de trahisons non dites et d'un amour qui les lie et les déchire simultanément. Chaque tentative de rapprochement avec l'un éloigne irrémédiablement l'autre, dans une danse destructrice où tous trois brûlent.

La première de plusieurs histoires érotiques où l'envie se mélange à l'obsession puis devient un volcan de passion .

Jake’s not just the professor. He’s the one thing Aiden can’t have… and the only one who can save him.

They have a strong mutual understanding about the feelings they have for each other, at the same time understanding that they cannot be together. Eric: I open my eyes and find myself standing alone in an empty room. The ceilings and the walls are neatly painted white. And the floor is composed of polished light brown wood. And there is a dark brown framed window at one corner where the light comes from. A bright yellow and pale red orange light tells me the sun is setting and soon it will be dark. Eric is a ghost who always appears in Irina's dream. Irina: I open the door to the bedroom. There is a dark brown framed window at one corner where the light is coming from. The yellow orange light passes through the open window. I see Eric standing right there on the spot captured by the yellow light. ‘You came back.’ I said. He stood there looking me in the eye. I almost died. Irina is a time traveler who may or may not change his fate. They alternatively tell a bitter sweet story. Love doesn't always mean together, sometimes it is deeper apart.
