Constantine was as ordinary as a girl her age could get. She was a high school graduate, has a decent paying job, and is doing exceedingly well in her passion for gymnastics.
One day she receives a letter in the mail from an unknown sender telling her to go to an address. Out of curiosity, she goes, only to be disappointed when she finds herself at the ruins of an old circus tent.
As she is about to leave, she turns around to see a guy around her age who claims to be the "ringmaster" of this imaginary circus. He introduces himself as James and invites her to come see the show two nights from now.
As she starts to spend more time at the circus known to be "Le Cirque de Beaulieu", she starts to unravel mysteries and secrets she and no one else are supposed to know. And she wants out. But why is she hesitating? Why doesn't she just run away and never return to that horrid place?
The simple answer is: She can't leave.
**I labeled this story as "mature" because there are going to be some violent scenes. There are not going to be any sexual scenes, but maybe some strong language. Overall, my story is aimed for more mature teenagers.**

He backed her into a corner, she was looking everywhere but him, she couldn't, she shouldn't. His hand toyed with the hem of her dress. He hesitated. His mind was racing with thoughts of how he shouldn't, he couldn't. Her heartbeat picked up, her breaths quickened, her body needed him. He saw the affect he had on her. Pulling up her dress, he saw she had no panties on. Enraged he wrapped his hand around her neck, choking her, making her look into his eyes. His other hand slid into her folds, she was soaking wet, just for him. She whimpered in response. She couldn't get enough. Her hips rocked back and forth along with his fingers. He added another. Yet to kiss her, he pushed the thought out of his head. Her body began to rock faster, causing moans to fall from her mouth. He bent down to her ear and whispered, "Perché non possiamo semplicemente stare lontani gli uni dagli altri belli?". (Why can't we just stay away from each other beautiful?).Complete

That's not a good start for a relationship." She said watching him for his reaction. "Who says there's a certain way to start a relationship? I understand that family comes first, even education. But if I could see or talk to you for an hour at least, I'll be fine with that." She was still unsure, "I still don't know.. why me though?" "Cause I want you. I claimed you the moment I saw you." "I'm not an object." "You're not, but believe me beautiful when I say you're mine. And I always get what I want." * Same thing as my other stories, there is very heavy sexual tension and content.
