Lightning and Fang have been best friends for a long time. They've gone through high school and college together, supporting each other through all their hardships. Now with established lives and careers, Lightning begins to feel like she wants something more. Problem is, Fang has a girlfriend. (This is a best friends to lovers story. Lightning is Demisexual/Demiromantic).

I know her, and she knows me. I know how to make her submit to me. (Rated M for sexual content. Fangrai.)

After a kiss that leaves her lips burning, Lightning finds herself falling rapidly down a rabbit hole of feelings she'd spent her life avoiding. Falling in love with something wild and wicked as the beasts that prowled Pulse was not what she'd had in mind when they'd set out for answers in their quest to discover and complete their focus. Rated M for later chapters.
