~Miles Behind Me
A poem by: Effie Blackwell
Teacher: Mr. Evans
I wish to be far away,
where no one can find me.
I want to be lost
somewhere at sea.
I wish to be somewhere,
where I'll be free.
Somewhere my parents
will never be.
I want to be able to run freely,
and play with any toy.
I want to be able to smile,
and feel true joy.
I don't want to be scared,
scared to die.
I want to feel safe,
and not cry.
I want to go away,
far away.
Where my house will be,
miles behind me.~
This is a story about a young girl named Effie, trying to get away from her home. But when her wish to go far away comes true, it's not exactly as she planned, and she's on an adventure she never thought she'd be on.

Lucien (Razorback MC Book 1)[Full series on Novelcat]
Growing up in a military household I only had my brother to depend on. Father was always out for months at a time, and mommy dearest would rather do anything else than to be a real mother. So, I took care of my little brother. I made sure he had food and school lunch and just about anything he needed. And when I turned 17, got my first job, I started to get him things he wanted. I got him a game system, I got him books and a laptop. I took care of him. Then he turned into a Marine jar head just like our father. But he was still my little brother. But since he was in the Middle East... I had no one. No friends, no family, and certainly no love. Until I come across a moody biker hottie, Lucien, that apparently can't seem to leave me alone. All I had meant to do was talk up the babe in the damn coffee shop. She was always here. Always making the coffee. Never actually talking to the people. Then came the gun and the threats. I stepped up, I took the asshat down. But not before he called the owner, Jackie, by name, trying to kill her. It wasn't a robbery, it was a targeted kill. Was my damn luck that the honey I wanted to get to know turned out to be the owner that had a gun in her face, and for some reason, I had a feeling that it wasn't the first time she had one pointed at her. Bastard got away after she decided to hit him over the head and missed and hit me. So now... I am her very personal body guard. NOW AVAILABLE ON KINDLE/AMAZON NEW SERIES WILL BE WRITTEN ON HERE...

{ #1 } I Was Shooting For The Moon, I Hit Two Stars (MxMxM || 18+)
Black Moon Series Book #1 Warning: Mature content, graphic language, gay, polyamorous French food is my healthy pleasure. Sex is my stress-relief pleasure. Threesomes are my guilty pleasure. Born the single child of the most open-minded parents, I bathed in cooking ever since I was a child; now I own several restaurants and well intend to grow my business. Ever since I lost my V-card, sex has been my way to cope with busy life and stress; today, I am a Dominant at the Black Diamond, a BDSM club in Chicago owned by my childhood friend Aaron. There, I discovered the kinkiest lifestyle, and I indulge in the pleasure of multiple-partner sex. But I would like to settle down with the perfect Submissive now. My name is Mark Murray, and I'm shooting for the moon, but I might hit a star. Laziness, boisterousness and wild sex are my mottos. I'm a dropped out, an unstable soul who doesn't know what he wants in life, and if it weren't for my best friend Liam, I'd probably be a homeless. I am hyperactive, a young man full of life who is bubbling with energy, and this is why people usually like me despite my flaws. And I'm a sex on legs... a libertine, bi-sexual, volatile, I don't know what love is, but I've had all the possible experiences in sex. Or so I thought. That was until I discovered my best friend's secret life... in a BDSM club. My name is Shannon Watts, and my life is about to change as a Submissive. I had a happy childhood, until both my parents died and left me an orphan. At 18, I ran away from my aunt's town to live in Chicago, dreaming to become a skilled cook. Now I work in the best French restaurant of the city, where I would love to move on from the dishwasher position to that of cook, but things don't always go as planned. I'm a solitary guy, barely average-looking and very shy, so I spend my free time vicariously living through the gay romances and BDSM books I read. My name is Alex Simmons, and I wish the fictions I read would turn out real.Complete

Opening my eyes I groaned . The breathe left me all at once . He was the one who pushed . His eyes held so many emotions . anger , hatred and betrayal . It pained me to see that I was the cause of them . Suddenly his fist came flying with full force towards my face and my eyes widened at the thought that he was going to hit me . I closed my eyes waiting for the impact but instead of breaking my face he punched the locker inches away from my face putting a dent on it . He smirked at me . All the colors drained from my face . " What did you thought that no one will know who you are ?" The moment the words left from his mouth I stiffened . He knew . Oh my god ! He knew ! His smirk even widened more when he saw the emotion in my eyes . Intense fear . I'm screwed . He pushed me more against the locker . It hurts in my back so much . A tear escaped from my eye and he smiled like he was enjoying it . " I know who you are and I'm going to make it hell for you , Emma." He said while clicking my name . He spoke with so much hatred and anger that it sent fear to the cores of my body . He once again slammed his fist in locker making the dent more visible and walked away leaving me in the fear. .................... Emma Parker , a 17 years old girl .

Stolen Pages
~Her words were my poison. I used them to consume myself. Disturbingly honest. Painfully strained. Carefully penned down. Dangerously addictive.~ A journal that landed in the right hands and told a whole story with words, no lips could speak. Two people bound by the pages of a book that tore their souls apart. He found it lying around and wondered what could go wrong. He didn't recognise the handwriting but he knew he instantly fell in love with it. Then it began. The assault of words on his life. He couldn't believe a word she wrote but somehow he did. He knew more about her than anyone else but he knew so little about who she was... It was maddening. How someone could have such an impact on you without having a single conversation with you. Her precious words tortured his existence, they drowned him in misery, created a black hole of words around him, gave him everything he needed to live. Made him fall in love. Gave him a world of his own. Made him believe in rainbows, unicorns, coffee, the basis of happiness, the meaning of every sunrise, the mystery of every deep ocean, she made him human. He knew he had to find her. He had to find out who she was. He had given him all the clues he needed but none of them were enough to prepare him for who she was. But sometimes... The journey is more important than the destination. Sometimes, the journey is the destination. A book full of stolen pages and a boy full of curiosity. This was how he let her shape his story. __________________ Description inside. Italics = Journal entry. 500 word chapters. Okay, so I don't know if you want to read it yet but it would mean the world to me if you could give it a shot.Complete
