I walk into his room, barging the door open ready to yell him for taking my book. "Max, did you-" I freezed, mouth open and turned away immediately, covering my eyes with both hands after seeing a half naked Max having just his towels round his waist barely relieving his V shape with his six abs and muscular arms. Damn! I didn't take enough view and I wish I can, but with the little view I had, I'd say he is damn sexy! The thought of his hard torso with drop of water made my cheek turn pink. Drip! Hearing a dark chuckle from behind me I knew at once that he was now at my back. "Do you not like what you saw? My heart skips as he came closer and now land behind my neck sending shivers inside me, "or you want to see more?" His husky voice had that dark aura that make me want to fall at his feet as his minty breath leeched my skin sending goosebumps around me. His nose bridge brushed my neck, which sends more butterflies down my stomach. I feel him trace his hard fingertip on my skin making my neck raise up involuntarily for more of his soft touch. He traced from my arm up to my neck and I let out a soft noise unwillingly as I swallow the heavy lump in my throat. The warming scent of his body soap didn't help the case as well. I was lost in his fragrance, his touch, his breath, and this feeling, making me want to stay around his warmth forever. "Seem like someone's lost of words," he said again, but this time more darker with a huge smirk. If not that I just took a bath, I would say I'm wet. But why am I feeling this way towards him? He is my cousin, I can't fall for him. I have to stop this mystery of Lust and Affection, this mystery of Love and Want. Even though I want him near me, even though I want this feeling, even though I want to see him strip nake- he is my cousin for goodness sake- Even though I want every single part of him near me, I can't let it be so, he is my cousin. This have to be stopped but can I stop it after falling deep for him?

"If I cannot move Heaven, then I will raise Hell. And I will do it for you. Again, again, and again." *** Iris Irai, a half-demon of wrath, is living in anything but paradise. She works as a cleaning lady at the Paradise Resort, a hotel in the Florida Keys that is catered to retiree demons who vacation from Hell...and divulge in their sins on Earth. It's full of debauchery, depravity, and death. Iris doesn't want to be there; demons make the worst customers. She's paying off a debt for a virtue she committed years ago--and is still haunted by. Something is wrong. The tides are turning. The customers are getting rowdier. The sea, colder. Dead bodies becoming more frequent. Abilities going haywire. A hurricane is forming offshore, literally and metaphorically, and it will destroy everything Iris knows. ...And then there's the mysterious angel, Riel, who tries to kill Iris and shut down the hotel. She must work with him, exploring a strange hotel and equally strange Florida Keys, to find answers and dissipate the oncoming storm. Together, they learn that there is more than good and bad, angels and demons--and they maybe even fall in love along the way. *** For ONC 2023! The prompts used are: "Hell is empty and all the devils are here." - William Shakespeare (#63) and "An attractive and mysterious stranger moves into town. While everyone is desperate to make an impression, only you notice something odd about them."

Submitted for The Wattys 2024 "Gentlemen!! Please meet my fiance" he said while pulling me closer to him. I looked at him with confusion and shock while he looked back at me with a gentle smile.

I couldn't understand a single thing that was happening in that room. " Do you think, you can fool us by bringing a random girl and introducing her as your fiance. " an old man stood up and yelled at him. He just let out a chuckle and turned towards me. " Mia, Let's prove them that you are mine and this is real." Before I could process what he said, he crashed his lips on mine. ___________________________________________ Amelia Thompson, a recent graduate who is searching for a job gets a call from AiMat Incorp - one of the leading companies in the city for an interview.
