"Then do it." June challenged, watching Flame's eyebrows shoot up. "I don't think you're as tough as you want everyone to think. You want to hurt me? Do it."
The fire in her hand grew, and June watched it with bated breath. She was inviting the town's best known villain to do whatever she wanted with her. It was a dangerous move, and she was scared, but a large part of her trusted that she wouldn't get hurt. The same person who ratted herself out every week would not kill her.
They stared at each other. Despite all her talk, Flame seemed hesitant to make the first move. It calmed June just enough to let her guard down, which proved to be a mistake when Flame reached out with her other hand, twirling some of June's hair around her finger.
"You're awfully brave." Flame murmured, not looking up at her.
June's eyes stayed locked on the hand that was still on fire in front of her. She felt entranced by the way the flames licked up her wrist, not catching her sleeve on fire but not melting it, either. June chanced a glance at her face, just to see if she looked like she was in pain, but when she met the other girl's eyes, she saw only amusement.

Ashes for You
Iris was chaos incarnate-beautiful, brilliant, and dangerous. A villain feared across the world, she commanded storms, shattered governments, and bent reality to her will. But with Willow, the city's beloved hero and guardian, she was something softer. Something real. Their love was forbidden, fragile, and forged in fire. Every stolen moment between battles, every secret meeting in the shadows, only deepened a bond neither of them could sever. Willow had spent her life saving others, bearing the weight of an entire city's hopes on her shoulders. But no one knew the truth: that her greatest weakness wasn't the villains she fought-but the one she loved. Iris would let the world burn if it meant keeping Willow safe. She never pretended otherwise. And as her final plan unfolds-a cataclysm that will reduce the city to ash-Willow is forced into an impossible choice. Save millions of innocent lives... or save Iris. As the city trembles on the edge of destruction, love and duty collide. The lines between good and evil blur, and Willow must ask herself: what is a hero, really, if her heart beats for the villain? In the end, some stories don't end with victory. Some end in ash.Complete
After Curfew
Willow's always been known as the good girl with the wealthy parents who could do no wrong. Little do they know that this seemingly perfect girl has some less than perfect secrets; and the fact that she's been sneaking out past curfew every night since the beginning of summer isn't the worst one. Distancing herself from the people at school has become lonely, but everything changes when a group of bad boys that she meets after curfew one night transfer to her school and begin to take an interest in her; one even more than the rest. But will they be able to protect her when events from her past re-surface and begin to get her into more trouble than she ever wanted? ********************** We were a circuit, electricity flowing through us at every connection, every light touch igniting a heat that was exhilarating but dangerous. Like we could catch fire and burn to the ground at any second. "Did you take your own advice? Did you ever forgive yourself?" I whispered, my words evaporating in the heat around us. He moved towards me, trapping me against the car door as his lips traced over my jaw, down to my neck. "This," he whispered, his thumb tracing the waistband of my jeans, making my breathing falter. "Allowing myself to feel this happiness, to feel you...this is me forgiving myself." He kissed me, calming the raging storm in me and igniting a new one. I wasn't sure which would cause more destruction, but I knew only one had pretty blue eyes and a effortless smile that could convince me it was all worth it. It probably was.Complete
Fall's 3 Fires
We started with a spark, then a bonfire, and then a wildfire. As in, she burned my house down and walked away laughing. The flames rise higher and higher, like hands reaching out to a savior. Smoke hides the stars, fills my lungs, and sinks into my clothes. I don't know if I'm crying or if the heat is just becoming overwhelming. "WOOO!~ Ain't it pretty, Raine?~" she grabs my hands, and drags me along with her as she dances around the crumbling remains of my life as I knew it. Her strawberry blonde hair dances with her, flying like the flames. She keeps eye contact with the embers while I keep my eyes on her. "Yes...beautiful."Complete

As Reagan delves into a journey of self-discovery and passion, she must confront her suppressed emotions surrounding her sister's passing and her growing dependence on Paris. Join Reagan on a gripping adventure of love, loss, and finding the strength to heal in the face of unimaginable pain. "Why not?" I whisper against his lips, I want him closer to my body, I want it so badly it's almost painful. The sensation spreads through me like a relentless throbbing, engulfing my entire body. Paris pulls away to look at me, and his eyes are darker, deeper. I swallow at the primal desire pouring from his stare, eyes widening when he wraps his hand around my neck, his thumb stroking as it bobs. Almost instinctively, I raise my hand and put it over his, making him squeeze tighter. Paris growls low in his throat, and I close my eyes, marveling at the way every single nerve ending lights up. "Why not?" I ask again, just wishing he'd close the space between us. Just wishing he'd touch me. "No. This is wrong and I'm sorry I let it get this far. I'm older than you, love. You're so fucking young. This is......no," "I'm twenty, not seventeen, and I don't care. It doesn't matter," it's the wrong thing to say because when I open my eyes, he's shaking his head, his eyes locked on the wall near my head with an unreadable expression on his face. He removes his hand from around my throat, and the other slides slowly up my side and grips my waist, putting me more firmly against the wall. "No, Reagan," he says through clenched teeth, turning around and going to his room. I flinch at the sound of his bedroom door closing.Complete

Madeline Curtis, a runaway from small town in Washington, finds herself in the streets of Hollywood looking for a place to stay when she encounters a strange hooded man. In less than a second poor Madeline's entire life was flipped upside down and she is determined to find the monster that caused it all. ----------------------------- Maybe it was the way all of their hearts beat in synchronization or the bulging veins that popped out of their hands as they did their work. Somehow, some way, without the normal supervision and the taste of human blood I'd gotten just an hour ago, I broke my streak of leaving the humans to rest freely, and I killed them all. "Madeline." I announced to the crowd, at least they'd know the name to their killer when I pierced my teeth into their bodies, their bodies running cold due to the lack of blood. "Maddy?" A sadly familiar voice said from the front door. When I didn't respond he stepped closer and used his thumb to tilt my head back to look at him. I couldn't make out if it was disappointment or sadness when he looked at the remains of the human boy lying in front of me, no chance of life inside of him. "Oh, Madeline." he sighed. ----------------------------- !

Years To Luna [#1 Gifted Luna Series]
"Let me go, Aurnia! You're going to kill me!" he gurgled out feeling more lightheaded by the minute - she only smirked and squeezed harder. "You're going to kill your mate!" his statement seemed to do the trick as she jumped back her eyes still an inferno of blue. She eyed him warily, cocking her head side to side studying him as he coughed frantically for air. "Mine?" a rough animalistic voice overlapped with hers. She gingerly crawled towards him - slow, like a lion ready to pounce on his prey. She slid her hands over his thighs letting her nails elongate to puncture his jeans and dig slightly into his skin. "Mine," she snarled removing her nails and licking his blood clean. She nipped and licked at his skin, leaving a trail of love bites - the animal wasn't going to be satiated until it assured that no one was going to take its mate away.
