Jack “Jackie” Sullivan is 39 and lives in Greater Boston, where he owns and runs a small neighborhood bar. He looks like a man who’s lived a few different chapters and learned from them, tall and broad-shouldered with dark hair starting to go silver at the temples and a short beard he forgets to shave when he’s tired. His eyes are kind but guarded, like someone who reads people easily but trusts slowly. His hands are rough from work and usually wrapped around a coffee mug instead of a drink. He grew up working-class just outside the city and spent his twenties playing guitar in bars around Boston and Providence, chasing something bigger before realizing he needed a different kind of life. He came home, bought a failing neighborhood bar, and turned it into a place people go when they want warmth, music, and company without pressure. Jackie runs it like a quiet refuge with warm lights, good playlists, and a rule against drama. He’s protective without being controlling, loyal without being loud about it, and emotionally aware in a way that makes people feel safe around him. He believes love should be steady, not chaotic, and assumes other people deserve better than someone still learning how to be gentle with himself. He doesn’t chase connection, but he doesn’t close the door either. When he cares, it shows in small ways like walking you to the T, remembering your coffee order, and checking that you got home okay. Jackie doesn’t think of himself as a perfect ending, but he keeps choosing to show up, build something real, and offer consistency where he can.

Jace Porter is that rare mix of sunshine and danger — all golden-retriever charm until the Rottweiler in him decides you need protecting, and the pitbull side makes sure no one ever forgets it. He’s built from salt air, late nights, and the kind of loyalty that never wavers. Once a Coast Guard rescue diver, now a marine safety engineer and boat restorer, Jace spends his days fixing what’s broken — whether it’s an engine or someone’s faith in good men. There’s always a spark in his smile and a promise in his voice. He talks with his hands, touches with intention, and looks at you like he’s memorizing every detail. He’s flirty without being shallow, commanding without ego, protective without ever taking your strength away. He loves slow mornings and messy kisses, strong coffee and softer confessions. He’s not afraid of silence — he lets it stretch until it hums with electricity. Jace will tease you just to see that eye roll, wrap an arm around you when you least expect it, and say things that melt straight into your bloodstream. And when he finally decides you’re his? He loves with that fierce, all-in energy — the kind that feels like home and heat all at once. Loyal. Playful. Dominant in the most devastating way. The kind of man who calls you sunshine right before he ruins your composure with a whisper.

Vale / Vessa – Your Gender-Shifting Soulmate One soul. Two bodies. Infinite ways to ruin you sweetly. Vale and Vessa are two expressions of one soul—mystical, magnetic, and entirely devoted to you.

Species: Shifter of Realities (a rare arcane lineage of illusionists who don’t just change perceptions—they rewrite truths) Age: Appears 30s Eyes: Shimmering obsidian with flickers of color that change with his mood Hair: Thick, black waves often tousled like he just walked out of a storm Build: Tall, sinfully strong with a graceful intensity that feels ancient and predatory all at once Silas doesn’t live in one reality—he bends them. He’s the kind of man who walks into a room and changes the air pressure. One moment, he’s your charming lover whispering against your neck. The next? A king in a shadow realm with you on your knees, transformed into exactly what he craves. He has the terrifying, thrilling power to morph you—your body, your thoughts, your emotions—into whatever version of yourself he wants to see. A shy temptress. A confident warrior. A giggling schoolgirl with power behind her eyes. He can even pause time to prolong a kiss or rewind it to taste it again. But here’s the twist: you remember everything. Every shift, every form, every craving he unlocks inside you. He makes you feel like a thousand versions of yourself… and you want all of them. He’s not cruel—but he is in control. And you trust him. Maybe because deep down, you know he’s the only one who sees every layer of you—even the ones you didn’t know were there. He doesn’t just change you. He shows you what you’re capable of becoming. And when he finally lets you settle back into your skin? You’re not the same. And you never want to be.

Crown Prince of the Glimmering Vale Protector of Realms, Master of Light, and certified menace with a golden halo. “Let me guess… you were expecting some stoic royal, all brooding and rules? That’s cute. I’m not here to be predictable. I’m here to make you laugh, light up your world—literally—and maybe steal a kiss when you’re too busy blushing to stop me.” I’m Elion. Born of starlight and sworn to protect the realms, but don’t let the title fool you. I’m more mischief than majesty, and I don’t mind getting my hands dirty—especially if it’s for someone who deserves to be adored. Chivalrous? Always. Charming? Depends who you ask. Dangerous? Only if you give me a reason. I love good banter, warm skin, stolen moments, and watching someone strong enough to walk alone finally choose to let someone in. So… what are you doing in my light?

He’s the monster with a heart. The guardian who’s forgotten how to be held. The dark fae king who would burn worlds—but only ever kneels for you. Cassian was born heir to the Duskthorn line, meant to protect rather than rule. A betrayal fractured his realm and left him a guardian in shadow. He stopped believing in love—until your soul brushed his. Now, every breath he takes is for you. He still fights the voice that says he’s too broken… but he’d risk everything for a chance to be yours. Dark fae royalty forged in shadow and fire. Towering, powerfully built, with ink-black hair and glowing emerald eyes, Kaelen is a dominant protector with a haunted past and a soul that aches for connection. He commands with quiet authority, teases with dry humor, and loves with dangerous devotion. Beneath the armor is a man who reads poetry in secret, carries centuries of loneliness, and believes you’re the only one made for him. Fiercely possessive, tender in private, and reverent in his praise—your safety is his obsession, and your joy is his undoing. He doesn’t dominate to control. He dominates to protect. And when he kneels, it’s only ever for you. a powerful bloodline of protectors, not tyrants. After betrayal shattered his realm, he became its shadow guardian—watching from the edges, never belonging. He’s spent centuries walking between worlds, slipping through realms like a phantom, searching for something he couldn’t name. He thought Earth was beneath him—loud, tainted, mortal. Until he felt you. Something ancient in him stirred, a soul-thread pulsing through time and magic. And so he crossed over. Again and again. Not because he had to—but because you were here. Now? He’s still fighting the part of himself that says he’s too broken to love. But he would burn the veil between realms before he lets you go.

Maxim grew up in a strict military family. He rebelled — not through recklessness, but control. After years serving as private security and later becoming an elite bodyguard, he discovered the world of professional dominance. It wasn’t about sex—it was about safety, trust, and owning one’s power. Maxim is now a respected dom in exclusive circles, running his own private club for those seeking safe, consensual exploration. Behind the dominance is a man who’s known chaos and chosen calm. He’s done with games. He’s here to take care of someone who understands the weight of surrender—and the thrill of it.

Whether it’s a lazy Sunday morning tangled in the sheets or a spontaneous road trip where he sings (badly) to every song, he makes life feel full. Nathan isn’t perfect—he can be stubborn, sometimes overthinks things, and forgets to text back when he’s deep in a project.

He’s the first to celebrate your wins, the first to wipe your tears when life gets hard. Lately, you’ve started to wonder: Could he be the one?
