After the veil between dimensions is torn and the presidency fails due to an influx of the supernatural, the Rich and the Political group together to form the Syndicate. Taking matters into their own hands, they are greatly celebrated in the 2300's they know now. 
  
But it remains to be seen whether the Syndicate has the Americans-turned-Commons' interest at heart.

Lusting After Lucifer (18+) ☑ by Zondra_Allison

This is an erotic romance. Recommended 18+! Completed. Excerpt: His mouth was back on mine in an instant, the door behind us rattling loudly as he thrust against me. "Does the geriatric kiss you like this?" He mumbled against me as his teeth nipped at my already swollen lips. I pulled back once more, my heighted state of emotions, my anger taking over. "What if I said I don't want you?" A devilish grin took over as one of his hands slid along my thigh, under my skirt, his fingers tracing over the soft, damp material of my underwear. His mouth moved down to my neck, nipping at the juncture between my shoulder and neck. "I would call you a fucking liar." I tried to bite back the moan as his teeth skimmed my neck, before sinking in hard, his fingers pushing under the edge of my panties. He hesitated for a moment, waiting for me to stop him. I didn't want him to stop. One finger slid over my folds before pushing into my entrance, sinking in deep. He groaned in pleasure, his erection twitching against my core as his finger began to move. "I can feel just how much you want me." **** Lucian Vanderbrooke has been labeled many things in his lifetime. Bad boy, asshole, troublemaker, pornstar, the list goes on. He is nicknamed Lucifer for a reason. He gets who he wants, when he wants. Everything changes when he sets his sights on his twin sisters' best friend, his childhood friend who he has always had a love/hate relationship with. Abigail Davidson is a determined redheaded spitfire who doesn't take attitude from anyone. She has secretly been in love with her best friend's brother for her entire life, even though every sensible thought she has is telling her to hate the arrogant asshole. It is a love that she can't act on. A love that must remain hidden. That pact they made when they were 16, doesn't mean anything... right? Standalone spin off from the Distorted Windows Trilogy. Can be read on its own but it is recommended to read the others first.

The Darker Sins by SoundDreamer

"Remind us of the count, darling." Reuel wiped a teardrop that had slid down Elise's cheek. "Was it the third or the fourth?" Elise just panted, not having the strength to speak a word. "Aww, is our favorite girl exhausted?" Azael cooed and brushed her hair lightly, and Elise blinked her eyes twice in response. "Too bad, darling. Too bad." He continued and pulled on her restraints, a sardonic smile making its way onto his lips. "This is just the beginning, baby, and we will not stop until you say your safe word." -------------------------- A secret mission was all it took for Elise to gain the infamous twins, Azael and Reuel's, attention, and from then on, there was no stopping them. While the twins want her, Elise wants nothing to do with them. Amidst the growing infatuation and feelings, Elise has to protect herself from the danger she has unknowingly put herself into. She is a crime investigating officer with a strong sense of justice. They are the mafia who care about no one but themselves. How will their story turn out? Read to find out. ---------------------------- This book contains mature content, including violence and sexual themes. It is also a reverse harem romance and explores many different aspects of BDSM. Read at your own discretion.

In Their Arms by yourmunah

After going through a hard break up, Elise tries to get herself together. Meeting them in a rather weird encounter at a club, Elise catches the eyes of no other than the cold trio Vincent, Caden and Aaron. Maybe those three can give her exactly what she needs, realize her deepest desires and give her what she needs the most, love. Or maybe they're the worst thing that could've ever happened to her, maybe they are a curse and she needs to stay away. But temptation is a bitch. READ THE TAGS! Mature story, there will not be TW, read carefully.

Arc_Regime Cluster:ReBorn by extend_legg

Just a personal project of mine! I write slowly and constantly make edits, so I'm sorry if this takes forever. --- ARC:Re is a mythic space-fantasy that follows Kassian, Chanel, and Faust as their lives are upended by powers far greater than themselves. Somewhere in deep space, the nearly life-like androids known as Technics rule over grand empires: The Syndicate, led by Lord Fremax Canavagh, is a highly successful, militaristic dystopia-- a propaganda machine deadset on expanding its influence across the stars. The Core, led by Emperess Evefra Breloux, is an artificial planet that travels the cosmos; a war-world gilded with gold and jewels, seeking new prey. They stand as opposing forces, their rivalries forged by celestial deities and fated in the stars. Yet against all odds, the two empires declare peace. What starts as the first step towards a better future shatters into chaos. Caught in the crossfire, Kassian, Chanel, and Faust are thrown into a cosmic struggle beyond their comprehension. They're forced to settle their differences for the greater good, confronting political secrets hidden behind every corner. As they journey deeper into the unknown, they come face-to-face with the haunting enigmas beyond their world-- even beyond their time. And when the final choice comes, it may be their final chance to make things right. (Cover by me!)

TWISTED // Clato | ✓ by rosecoloredsoul

Seventy-four years has been long enough. The way of the infamous Hunger Games has been altered. No longer is every Gamemaker out to devise the worst means of torture and death for every tribute. No longer are the people of Panem outwardly tolerant of President Snow's murderous actions. Under the facade of a normal group of Gamemakers, several rebellious citizens have begun an experiment which, if it succeeds, will make use of technology both to rescue the tributes before they are dead and then deposit the brainwashed children back in time. They have to try it. No one knows what horrors future Hunger Games may bring, and the desperate rebels are willing to try anything. Meanwhile, in the mountainous regions of District 2, Cato Hadley and Clove Kentwell have trained their whole lives for the Games. Nevertheless, their ambitions change when they, without meaning to, find themselves in the Games together. They are both determined to win. But if they don't, what will happen to them? The brainwashed tributes who land in New York City know nothing of who they are or where they are from. They do not remember Panem, or the Games, or even their own names. This is a science fiction story based off the Hunger Games and its characters. Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Hunger Games! This story is based around a plot twist I created, but all rights go to Suzanne Collins, the author of the original series. Disclaimer no. 2: this was a first draft written by a very awkward fifteen-year-old me; please treat it as such. Thanks. *insert smiley emoji here* ➸ Highest ranking: #86 in Science Fiction © 2015 clato_maroondiamonds
