    Summary

    "You shouldn’t trust him. Not with your life. Not with your blood. And definitely not with your heart."

     

    The world ended quietly—devoured by blood-born creatures birthed in military labs and left to rot in the dark. Now, only ruins remain. And the monsters inside them are always hungry.

    You’re a medic. A survivor. You know better than to need anyone.

    But then there’s him—the masked soldier who follows you through the ruins like a shadow. Silent. Massive. Always watching. You don't know what he is… only that when you're near him, the air feels thinner, your heartbeat louder.

    He craves you.

    Your scent. Your skin. Your blood.

    And maybe, worst of all, your attention.

    Or, A slow-burn, blood-soaked apocalypse romance. Featuring feral tenderness, mutual obsession, intense body horror, and a man who would rather die than hurt you—but might do both anyway.

    Summary

    In which a mohawked man responds to your flyer for a farmhand job.

    [OR: A few years ago, you moved back home to help your Pa after your Ma passed. He used to handle the heavy work while you took care of the animals, cooked, cleaned, and ran errands. But age has slowed him down, so, you put up flyers in town for a farmhand—someone strong, and capable. You didn’t expect a 6’2, sexy beast of a man at your door. And he sure didn’t expect a cute little bird answering it.]

    Summary

    "Oh my God," The Detective's face lit with gleeful malice, "You're really concerned about this. Is it because even Connor has a girlfriend?"

    Nines disconnected his facial expression before his (deviant) feelings revealed anything to his infuriating partner as his processor raced through dozens of retorts. Of course, he was concerned. It was stated right there in the email… This was a large-scale social event, which he had already indicated would be his first… Why should he have been expected to know the ridiculous social customs of humans… What did Reed mean by 'even Connor'… Why should it affect him if Connor is dating that technician… No, he was not inferior—he was the newest…

    And Reed was just staring expectantly at him, growing more amused by the second. Nines wanted, no needed, him to stop.

    "I only ask because I am not certain my significant other would be interested in such an event."

    The detective froze, eyes wide — a blessing since Nines had a similar reaction, internally preconstructing how to fake a system update right now and get out of this conversation. What had he done?
