Pirate Chains ~ Strong tides by Syrvat

This story is being republished on wattpad! The whole series in already on Amazon and Smashwords! Enjoy :D A chain and a collar can imprison a nobleman, but what could entrap a devil? Only the innocence of a fallen angel. Once upon a time, there was a very respectful and principled young man, named Nyx. He was a nobleman in all meanings of the word. He struggled to keep his late father's fishing business alive and protect his dear mother and older sister. Between the fishermen's schemes and the selfishness of his stepfather, his task was not an easy burden to carry. One day, the fates threw him into a dangerous predicament, only to find himself being saved by the devil. Agenor (Ah-gueh-nor), Captain of the Martina pirate crew. He was strong and ruthless, which earned him a reputation across both shadowed waters and guarded islands as the 'Devil'. When the young nobleman fell into his hands, Agenor couldn't help but be enchanted by the innocent angel. He was inexplicably drawn to him. He didn't ponder much on his actions, as he was guided by a burning need to keep him for himself. It was within his rights to have the man for himself, to chain him and abuse him. He didn't listen to Nyx's pleas, or couldn't. He repeatedly denied him any chance of freedom. For deep within him, he knew. Nyx was his. This story depicts Nyx's adventure as he struggles to live among pirates, avoid their bullying and harassment, and witness his own feelings take unexpected turns towards his captor. I hope you enjoy the sexy pirates and the innocent lamb caught in between. Themes and warnings: This story is +18 Expect adult themes and graphic content. This novel is an adult, gay romance, general fiction. It depicts themes such as piracy, abuse, rape, romance, manxman, gay, travel, sail, adventure, angst, and love.

The Beast by xwriteratheartxo

HANNAH I've spent my entire twenty-one years on this earth in the background. Walked over by friends. Family. Strangers. And I didn't see a problem with it; I'd rather nobody pay attention to me. It was safer that way. Easier. Until I got the wrong kind of attention. Lev Somov caught me running from an impromptu crime I was committing against my ex-boyfriend, and in that moment, he somehow decided I was worth giving his attention to. All the bad kinds of attention. Next thing I know, he's watching over me, hijacking my job and becoming my client. And then he takes things above a level I never thought possible. He is a monster, incapable of feeling any type of remorse or guilt for anyone and anything, including me. All I can hope for is that I make it out of this obsession alive. LEV This life wasn't meant for me, but now that he's gone, it's mine for the taking. And no one is going to stop me. I've shown my loyalty through blood, and I make no plans to change my future. Especially not for the little kukolka I found stumbling into the wrong alleyway. I'll take my time before I break her. And then, the Dynasty will be mine.

The Whisper of Life [Gay Orcs] by theotherore

The Whisper of Life, a story by TheOtherOre. Orcs have existed for millennia, most enjoying their lives on their origin island. Their history is vast and unfortunately, most of it hasn't been recorded. Turmoil and violence riddled the orc tribes for the longest time, until a great orc rose to unite them all. That orc is Ore Fa'aalnav. Ore spent his entire life helping the orcs grow, get over their differences and create the first orc kingdom. Now, he holds the title and duties of the Great King of the Great Orc Kingdom. When one of the orc expeditions into the rest of the world returns with a peculiar book about a certain type of magic, the king finds himself being reminded of how his people were created. Follow Ore as he embarks on a magical journey to create life with magic. Do you think he'd be able to create a hunk of a man, or will his weird experiment fail? The following story acts as an introduction for the fantasy world most of my stories are based on. I created my own lore around orc creation and existence, something that gets explored in this particular story as well.

Beautiful Beast by lucyanneholland

My name is Kalista. They call me the beast. Kalista has been cursed by a powerful sorceress and is now a prisoner in her own palace. As petals fall from an enchanted rose, her fate and the sorceress's victory draw nearer. But Kalista refuses to be defeated so easily and uses her own magic to push against the bindings. Yet what if it is not enough and the only way the curse might be shattered is through the help of another? When Arawn crosses into the beast's domain, he has one motive: revenge for his brother's death. But as he draws nearer to the beast and is surrounded by invisible servants, magical banquets, and an enchanted forest, he realizes that this beast is much more complex and much more human than he first thought. As their paths intertwine, Kalista must risk opening her heart to another, while Arawn must learn to see past his hate and prejudice. Together, they struggle against spells, wolves, and time itself to break the curse. If they fail, Kalista will fall asleep and will never again wake.

INFINITO E OLTRE (IN ENGLISH) by YourMiee

He is a force to be reckoned with. A lift of his finger & people are beheaded in seconds. A word from him & the streets of NY are bathed in blood. Any evil deed, you name it & he has done it. Vicious, nefarious, brutal & downright cruel. Majestic in every sense of the word. A beautiful disaster. A criminal mastermind. The undisputed lord of the crime world. No one with a beating heart & blood still pumping in their veins lives to tell the story after crossing him. Even Satan is afraid of being compared to him. He has everything a man dreams of & is everything a woman desires. She is a ball of sunshine. Not afraid to speak her mind. A ray of happiness & positivity. Brightening up everyone's day on her way, even the man on a verge of death. Always so full of energy. The spark in her perents' eyes & the smile on her friends' lips. The embodiment of beauty with brains. Exquisiteness in its truest form. Innocent, naive but not scared of anyone. Sometimes a bit stupid but not gullible. She has everything a woman envies of & is everything a man desires. Or so they thought until... For him, she is a mirage. An unending pool of light in his dark world made up by his illusional mind which he didn't even know he craved before she came along. Just in this case, his mirage is adamant on quenching his thirst & he too won't let it go unless he redeems himself in her sanctity. For her, he is an enigma. A puzzle who has hidden his own pieces. A riddle no one dares to solve. A mystery yet to unfold. Dark clouds surround him. Hiding his emotions under their shadow that are craving her light desperately. Forces trying to separate them are endless. But if together, their love can conquer the world. An inevitable phenomenon is what they are. A love so intense comes only in ages that has the ability to defame even Shakespeare & it'll be a shame to the Gods if they didn't make them the endgame. Because, Lord help! They will raise hell if they do not end up together.
