"Sweetheart."

I freezed, but whirled around with my cold mask firmly in place. My heart battered out a tune against my ribs, but I didn't notice. Landon's ice cold, blue eyes met my own. I shuddered unnoticeably.

It had been the sole focus of some of my nightmares, them eyes. They were cold, and forever changing colours. On a good day it would be blue, bad then it would be grey.

The two years had been good on him, and he was no longer a teenage bad boy but a deadly man, a gang leader. Muscle he used to have were now firm and toned, his straight jaw hard and strong.

Masculine.

I made sure my composure hadn't broken. "Landon. How nice to see you." I greeted coldly, wiping my clammy hands on my short dress casually.

_____

Traumatised. That's what Tori Peterson, A.K.A Torrance Sander, is. She's traumatised. You're probably thinking, 'Oh yeah? Did someone steal her animal crackers?'. Nope, you're not even close. She watched her family get murdered by a ruthless gang leader, Landon Michaels, her ex-boyfriend, in front of her eyes. You're probably thinking, 'What the fuck? This is so cliché!'. Well, yeah, you're close. Tori's past is catching up to her, and what happens when she leaves, well runs, from her fake life again to build another rocky foundation that may crumble anytime? Her curvy body and flawless beauty, paired with her snarky attitude and haunted personality, she's a goddess. But a deadly one at that.

Highest rank #27 in Teen Fiction. Written by @apricitys. _ _ _ "What is this?" He asked, not even bothering to look at the canvas in front of me. Instead, his eyes were locked in mine. I swallowed my saliva, chills running down my spine. I felt my palms getting sweaty as my legs nervously started bouncing up and down. Without giving me time to answer, he took a step closer to me, eyes still locked in mine. Each time he inched closer, I used my right foot to slowly push myself and the stool back. It seemed to be the only option to get away from him; until he forced his hands below the sides of my thighs, holding the stool in place. He released a soft chuckle as he eyed me from my eyes, down to my lips. "You're beautiful," he said. From his voice, I couldn't tell if he was being serious, or messing around. It sounded sincere, however there was a smirk on his face. The smirk that he always has on his face when he's found an amusing target. Then he averted his attentions back to my eyes. His expressions softened up the moment his eyes landed back on mine. His smirk disappeared. I cleared my throat and broke the eye contact. I looked down at my palms as I rubbed the sweat against my jeans, "What do you want, Landon?" I asked, almost whispering. I felt his hand brushing against my right cheek, as he tilts my chin up to look back at him. His messy brown hair, his light blue eyes and his pink soft lips were just centimeters from mine. I felt his breath lingering on the upper tip of my lip. In a panic, I pressed my palms against his chest and push him off. He stumbled back with a surprised look on his face. "Aubrey." _ _ _ Landon Carthy is an arrogant boy, who knowns to have absolutely no care in the world. Making girls suffer feels great to him. But what happens when a new girl in town becomes one of his victims? Will she allow him to walk upon her like all the other girls do?

"That's it, baby," he continues, his tone almost soothing, despite the filth spilling from his lips. "Take my cock. Take all of it." Baby. My belly flutters, my heart soaring like a fool even though I know it's a runaway utterance. A thoughtless spill of the moment's intensity. I shut my eyes against the word, as if the action will shield my chest from its impact. Or my pussy. "You like that?" he asks, his voice a low rumble. "You like it when I fuck you hard? When I make you feel like the dirty little slut you are?" I can't even respond, my throat is too constricted, my lungs too empty. His words are like a knife, slicing through me, making me feel even more exposed and vulnerable than I already am. "Say it," he demands, his thrusts becoming even more punishing. "Tell me you're a dirty little slut." "I'm a dirty little slut," I sob, the words torn from my throat. I can't believe I'm saying them, but they feel true. "That's right," he growls, his breath hot against my ear. "You're MY dirty little slut. And you're going to come for me again, aren't you?" *** MORALLY GREY meets GREY'S ANATOMY meets FIFTY SHADES OF GREY... 24-year-old Ramona Lisa Gallo seems to finally be back on track to a normal life...while cruising the financial struggle bus. Returning to college to study music seemed like nothing short of a fantasy six years ago. But when she unexpectedly finds herself under the care of young, renowned oncologist, Dexter Frost, she can't convince herself she isn't dreaming. With eyes as cold as his name, Frost is handsome beyond belief. Accomplished beyond his years. And the medical textbook definition of a "Dreamy Knightmare". The good doctor has a proposition for his new patient; a solution to her money troubles once and for all...for a price. *** This is an ongoing web serial. One (1) chapter will be posted every Friday.

"Hi, I'm Annabelle Percy. If there's one thing you should know about me, its that I'm not a people person. That sounds cliché and common amongst most books, but I can't shake the fact of how miserable this existence is. It's completely and utterly useless in my eyes. You may be thinking, why do you keep living if you hate it so much? Truthfully, I've tried to leave many times, but no one knows that. Not even my best friend, Nancy Jones. Nancy has been there for me for as long as I can remember. She's my favourite person. She even got me and her brother Kane together; Kane is sweet but only does the bare minimum. As much as I hate my existence, I can't help but want more out of life. I want adventure and passion, not the same thing different day, like how it is now. This will probably sound cringey, as literally every 18 year old girl finds their self in this state of mind, but there's this guy, an A list celebrity, and the lead singer of a band called Sketch. Deep down, I feel like he and I are soulmates. Perhaps so in a parallel universe, even though he has no idea of my existence, I know theres something between us. I just know it. I will never expect someone to love me, I learnt that the hard way with Cheryl, my mother. She's abusive, mentally and physically, she's a drunk and a user. She made me feel worthless since the second I knew how to talk. All I want out of this life is to make myself known, i wish to walk for Victoria's Secret one day. Though I know that would be tough considering its such a criticising industry. I know I'm pretty, and I'm 5'8 so in heels I'll be the perfect height. I just don't know where to start, and I'm too insecure to even try out, of nerves of being rejected. Life's...Complicated." • • 1° spot for #GraphicViolence ! - 12.5.2023

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage. Unfortunately for her, ruthless and cunning 26 year old Mafia leader and billionaire Tristan Black had other plans for her. He's been waiting for the perfect moment to kidnap her and finally make her his queen after 2 years of watching and stalking her every move. He'd kill anyone who gets in the way of getting what he wants. What will happen when he ruins everything she wanted and forces her to marry him? Will she escape and resist him? Or will she submit and accept her fate?

''You don't know me?'' he asked me with the same soft voice. ''How could I?'' I yelled, struggling even harder. ''Let m-me go!'' My voice started to crack. I was breathing harder with each passing second and I was fighting to keep my eyes open. My chest started to hurt. The man caught me and snuggled me to his chest. For the first time after so long, I felt safe. I felt like no one can hurt me, as long as I was with him. Just before everything went blank I felt someone kissing my temple. ''Jayson, I won't lose you again..'' ✁ Jayson Salvatore is a sixteen-year-old boy who lost the will to live. After all, it is kinda hard to hold on to life when you have an abusive alcoholic man for a father, no friends.. basically no one to live for. Little did Jayson know that he will meet a mysterious man with hazel eyes, a man who can shook him to the core just by looking at him, a man who glances at him with kindness and love, feelings Jayson always thought they just weren't for him to experience. As time passes, Jayson can't shake off the feeling that he met the man somewhere before.. and starts struggling to remember. But, will he remember? Inspired by anime and things that happened to one of my friends. Cover made by @StargazerGirl P.S: I'm gonna edit the whole thing, I swear. You can enjoy it as it is, for now.

"Tell me. Why won't you tell me?" He asks and I look towards him slowly, "You didn't even talk to me until yesterday! I'm trying to make it so nobody notices me, Kingston. I don't need this." I say and he slowly turns my face towards him, closing my locker and pinning me up against it. "What if I need you?" He asks and I roll my eyes. "Nice one, Hamlet." I say, walking away from him. One of the perks of being short, easily get away from tall people. ❤︎ Kingston Brag is the blonde haired popular guy with baby blue eyes, he's the guy every girl wanted. Every. Single. One. Except for her... Summer Cynthia. She hides in the corners and under black hoodies to hide her scars and bruises, her bloody arms and cuts, she hides her life. But there is one person who is determined to know what happened to her. Kingston Brag. But he has a mission that he's running from. This book contains one sexual scene, lots of bad words, abuse, violence, all that jazz. If you don't want that don't read the book and comment how it's not appropriate or some crap like a mom. There are two lesbians, a gay man, and a bi mother, so don't freak out if you will I'd rather you not read.
