    Summary

    The goodwill tournament has arrived, and as the two schools reconnect, the first-year students are in shock: never has there been a mated pair who hate each other as much as Utahime Iori and Satoru Gojo.

    Summary

    She was glad she came from a small clan. She was glad she got to live out her life as she pleased in her 20s with minimal surveillance. She was grateful for every minute of every day spent as someone unimportant, someone unworthy of notice.

    Someone who could go unaccounted for hours — enjoying the wind in her hair, a drive with too many stops, and an arm slung around her shoulders — without critique.

    Nothing she’d done was ever good enough for the man at her side. She wasn’t pretty enough, talented enough, strong enough, subservient enough. His dislike of her was apparent to everyone, and yet here he was, sitting next to her in his family estate, going over last minute details of their wedding in the days to come. He squeezed her thigh in the same place, not as a warning this time but as a punishment. In some fucked up parallel way, he liked to poke her buttons, see her upset.

    After all, Utahime knew just as everyone else did that the only reason Naoya was marrying her was because he wanted what Gojo had.

     

    OR

     

    Utahime is engaged to Naoya. Problem is, she's still in love with her ex, who doesn't seem to give a rat's ass that she's marrying someone else in two weeks.

    (A one-shot spin-off for Binding Vows (but still kinda works as a standalone??))

    Summary

    “Did you forget I’m not your wife anymore?” she reminded him dryly, prodding him with her foot. “You’re not responsible for me. You don’t have to protect me.”

    He caught her ankle, tugging her calf onto his lap. “You still belong to me, in a way. And I still belong to you, in a way.”

    “I thought we set each other free and all that crap when we signed our divorce papers,” she said lightly, even though she understood what he meant. They had shared too much, given parts of themselves to each other that couldn’t be taken back. Traded pieces of their hearts, walking around incomplete when they weren’t together like this.

    Summary

    Most curiously, across her cheek and the fine bridge of her nose is a jagged scar. The rough tissue blooms like a permanent purple bruise.
    The woman locks eyes with him. His heart stops beating.
    She is beautiful. The most exquisite creature he has ever laid eyes on. His pulse resumes and roars with a vengeance in his ears.
    Then, the woman spits at his feet, a lupine snarl on her pretty, bloodied lips, “Barbarian cur!”
