Midnight City (boyxboy) by sian-elizabeth

In New York City, Samuel Harris is living a normal life. He's at university with his friends who often tell him he's too uptight. However he's happy that way, and he doesn't want anything to change. Whereas Cassius is dreaming of living a normal life, unable to live like a mortal. Being the son of the most powerful vampire in history, Dracula, means that by law he is the Vampire Prince. What neither of them expect is for Cassius to fall in love with someone he shouldn't, especially when they're the son of the most highly trained vampire hunter in not just New York, but in all of the magic realm. - It was almost impossible for a vampire to live a normal life. It was against the law for vampires to be with any other beings than their own kind. The magic realm was filled with different monsters and creatures that were a risk to human kind, which was why they stayed hidden. They were deemed so dangerous, that they were hunted by a different species: angels. Vampires and angles had been at war for centuries, with the heavenly-like creatures winning every battle. But it was important to keep the two species separate, as angel blood was the cure to any vampire becoming human again, keeping in mind that once bitten by a vampire, for an angel it was sudden death. However in this day and age, vampires walked freely amongst the city. After all, they needed humans to feed and in order to do that, they had to blend in. The war between vampires and angels had to be kept secret from human kind, and the species had to stay apart. But for one vampire and one angel, it was hard to stay apart, because sometimes you can't help falling in love. COMPLETED.

Love Comes Unexpected ✔ by prettyfangz

I quickly turned away from him, to get the hell out of the room. But he caught my arm and pulled me back into his chest. Shit. Fuck. He buried his face in my hair, arms enclosing around me and whispered into my ear, ❝I thought things between us were getting better, is this how your gonna lie and ruin it?❞ I could feel him smiling against my ears, his fingers gently raking through my hair. I didn't reply. This is exactly the situation I didn't wanna get into, cause I know I melt when he says shit like that. ❝You gonna give up resisting me now?❞ His lips barely touching my ears. My heart skipped a beat as he tightened his hold on me. ♡♥♡♥♡♥♡ SAMANTHA ROSS Beautiful. Smart. Successful. Kind. Stubborn. That's who she was. But life challenges everyone at some point, right?

Love Will Tear Us Apart by Hazeldenise1986

I've lived a life of fear, depression, sorrow, bondage and feeling caged by my childhood. Now I am stepping into adulthood and I thought all that would change. Sure I will still have issues but nothing I couldn't get through with time right? ("Wrong") Danger came knocking at my door and I was hopeless but to do anything but fall and become a victim again like when I was a child because I was weak and scared. Until I am introduced to one of my best friend boyfriend who looked like a Wall Street trust fund gangster. He introduced me to my bosses boss, Camillo Costello-Capone. When I look into the tall sexy Viking archangel's stormy smokey gray eyes I didn't think that this godlike man ever seen a bad day or knew what it was because in his wealthy semi-royal life everything was giving or handed to him or he would and could take it. Boy oh boy was I wrong about him wrong about it all. If I once felt dead and broken when I met him I became alive and whole but being loved, wanted, needed and desire by him would only make me wish for death or something close to it.
