"Keep your little tongue still," he began ominously, his eyes had darkened like the nightsky, "or I will put it to better use." His warning sent chills all over my body. He was hurting me; the wall against which he had my hands pressed had a sharp popcorn like texture, and it felt like my skin was being stabbed by thousands of nails at once. Not only that, I could feel the pressure of his huge muscular body against mine trying to obstruct my breathing, and his knee was also lightly pushing into my thigh as he kept me in place. But despite all the pain and the helplessness of not being able to move out of his tight clutch, not a single gasp or cry escaped my mouth. "Seems like this is the only way girls like you learn to shut their mouths up," he growled near my ear. And maybe he was right because I wanted him to keep hurting me until I could feel absolutely nothing. ******** This is the story about an awkward teenager who faces bullying, abuse from her parents, and fights her inner demons all while having an obsessive crush.

The bitter, acidic, tart fruit flavor overpowering the sweet cake. Lorenzo's light eyes darken with fierce, anger as he watches me swallow the wine then finally parting the glass away from my mouth. The cup almost shattering in his hold before letting it go onto the wooden table. His thumb grazed my lips, staining red with the leftover wine. He scans his finger then brings it to his mouth, his blazing look remaining back on me. My stomach is twisting. My universe is spinning with insanity. He speaks low so only we can hear, "Try that again Isabella and I'll have you wishing I poison you." Started 3/5/21

Monsters are real and so are demons. They live inside us, taking form as a mere demon on your shoulder as if it would be so easy to defy them. As if they're a fly, chased away at the wave of a hand. Sometimes they're jealous, they fight for your spot. They fight for you. Sometimes they ruin you, ripping you apart at the seams until you surrender. And sometimes.. They win. Sometimes it is you, now on their shoulder, begging for better. Begging for redemption. Begging for mercy. But their response is simple yet deadly, because a demon looks like everything you thought you wanted. "You ask for mercy? Where was mine?" .. One thing seraphina learns is; not everyone can be a hero. She's tried. But she is not a hero nor is she a savior. She is Seraphina Mirae Solace. So the question she asks you, mortals and immortals alike, just how easy is it to slip over the thin line of good and evil? And just how easy is it for you to lose everything? ... A novel full of Greek mythological references, badass woman, morally grey characters and plot twists that will have your jaw dropping. ... "Make me." I'm unsheating my blade in seconds, pushing it to pierce his skin. Small drops of black blood bead around the blade and he grabs the blade, pushing it closer. "That's more like it," he praises. There's a wicked look in his eyes and for a moment i'm speechless. "Fuck you," comes in a whisper. His eyes follow the curve of my lips as i murmur the curse. With a lick of the lips, he's looking back up, eyes darkened. "I will," he promises. - ©flirtykuu an original novel.
