Held

She doesn’t misunderstand what he offers. She accepts it.

From the beginning, being with him feels like relief. His arms, his weight, his certainty. The way he holds her leaves little room for hesitation, and that is precisely the point. She wants to be contained, to lean into something solid, even if it presses against the edges of what she knows she should allow.

What unfolds is not a romance, but an arrangement shaped by need. Each moment of closeness brings comfort and unease in equal measure. Each time she stays, she understands a little more clearly what she is trading away and why she keeps doing it anyway.

Held is an erotic novella about the desire to be claimed emotionally and physically, about the quiet decisions women make when safety feels less important than closeness. It explores the tension between wanting care and accepting its conditions, between knowing your limits and choosing to cross them.

Explicit, intimate, and psychologically grounded, this story is written for readers who recognise that desire is not always healthy, reasonable, or fair, but can still be deeply, insistently human.

This book contains explicit sexual content and mature themes. Intended for adult readers (18+).
