The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacake

"Resa?" He called her softly. "I can't steal your innocence..." He started to stroke her cheek as she mustered courage and finally locked gazes with him again. "But let me steal something else. Permit me to steal just tonight. You don't have to do anything or pleasure me in return, just submit yourself wholly to me. I couldn't ask for more." "What if I want more than you are ready to give?" She asked in apprehension. He replied after a slight hesitation. "It's your call but I won't do anything to hurt or make you feel bad. I'll stop when you want me to. My word as a Guardian." He placed his hand on his chest in a pledging manner. She stared at him for a while, mulling the situation over and over in her mind. She slowly unlocked her fingers from his and stood up. He let her this time then he watched her walk several feet away from him to back the window. She began to slowly peel off her clothes with the ray of the moon behind her and making her silhouette that of a heavenly being, forming a halo around her head. Her hair was long and the long tresses fell down the length of her upper body with some of it covering her breasts. The end of the length dangled just below her stomach, while at the back, it skimmed the upper part of her naked buttocks. ©All Rights Reserved.

"You're pretty, but I'm not into the female gender." He said, slowly, trying to get me to understand. "Wait, you're gay?" I asked him. Alyssa Gage is a girl that gets everything she wants. So what if she wants this hot guy that she literally just met? Oh, right, just one problem. He's gay, or maybe he's just saying that to get her off his back. But, what happens when she foolishly makes a bet with him? Will she get what she wants, or will it only end in a heartbreak?

[Edited Version ● Alternate Ending] "Colin? I feel so awful lying to you so I have to tell you what happened..today," Frankie blurted out, nervously cracking her knuckles as she stared at her boyfriend from one side of the living room. Colin's bright blue eyes danced. "What is it, sweetheart?" "I...I bumped into my ex-husband in the elevator today." "And?" Frankie exhaled. "And we had sex. In the elevator." There was an interminable silence before Colin smiled. "We'll work through this, honey. Don't worry." "Work through this?" she spluttered in disbelief. "How? How can we, when all I want is for him to do it again? And again, and again, and again, and..." She trailed off, sighing. It pained her to see Colin's hurt expression, but then again, it pained her to know that Konstantin had made her climax in that elevator more times than Colin had in their whole relationship... *cover by @hartlings*

Alice is twenty-four, far old enough to know that a change of scenery can't repair the cracks in a relationship long strained. But when her lover insists on a trip to a remote cabin to get away and recharge, Alice agrees... and discovers that among the beasts of the forest, there is one that shouldn't exist and yet does: a wolf that changes into a man and a man who changes into a wolf. He's savage, suspicious, and feral. And he's as undeniably interested in her as she is in him... Wolf's Wife is an erotic paranormal romance. This is the complete and full version, NOT a sample. It's just very short compared to its sequels.
