"The stars."

"What about them?" he asked, raising a perfect eyebrow, stepping closer. I took a step back with every step he took forward. 

"They're watching over us."

He seemed to think about my words before speaking. 

"Over us? Or you think they're watching over you."

"I know they're watching over us."

My back hit the railing as he stood less than a foot away from me. His lips parted, releasing a puff of smoke into my face. The smell made me feel sick, but I didn't show it. 

"Mon cœur, no one is watching over us. It's just a fragment of your little imagination," he said bitterly, a cold look passing over his face. He dropped his cigarette, snuffing it out with his shoe. 

"No," I breathed, shaking my head, "the stars will always watch over us."

Sparks To A Flame by she_madeit

"Getting closer to me is like walking straight into the flames of a burning building." "Then burn me." I interrupted, staring deep into her eyes. "Engulf me in all your raging flames and let's see if I survive." She gazed at me for a moment, her head slightly shaking, eyes warning me, "You wouldn't want that... You'd only regret it." "I'd only enjoy it." I corrected. "I'd crawl through those flames, burning and melting down to the bone if it meant finding that one place of security. That one place that's free of flames." [For some people, the past is a place in your mind where you could reminisce on good times and valuable moments with the people you called family. For Nicole, it's where her darkest secrets lie and where the people who were considered "family" visited her in her nightmares. Trust is almost a thing of the past for her. She's avoided because of it, feared. No one dares to understand her, no one dares to even look in her direction... But HE did and he wasn't going to be pushed away easily.] . . .

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.

Covered Edges by amarag44

"You're just too much fun to mess with," he jokes, his smile transforming into a glowing smirk. My cheeks heat, but this time with anger. My tolerance has worn completely thin. "Would you let me go?" I ask spitefully. I feel like a broken record. He pushes off of the desk and takes a step back. Before I even realize what I'm doing, I slap him square across the cheek. Shock is plastered on his face, and I'm sure it is on mine too. I stand there in awe of what I just did. It was so sudden I'm not even sure I decided to do it but rather my indignation controlling me. Steadily, Damon's face morphs from shocked to entertained. I immediately regret my action, but I'm not completely stupid; I race for the door like there's no tomorrow. "You'll regret that!" I hear Damon yell as I'm running away. ~Sugar, spice, and everything nice~ A story about drama, sarcasm, love, and twists, with a little bad boy guilty pleasure mixed in between.

Feels | Ava and Kyan by deansvlr

★★★ "Tell me what you want," he murmured, his words sending a shiver down my spine. "I want you," I replied, my voice filled with longing. "I want you to fuck me." He chuckled, his eyes meeting mine with a heated gaze that made my heart race. "Come again, baby?" he teased. As his thumb brushed over my bottom lip, parting them slightly, I softened my gaze, giving him a look that I knew would drive him wild. "Fuck me," I said, my voice more commanding this time, the urgency pulsing through every word. "God," he breathed, his voice slightly higher as he hid his face in the crook of my neck, his kisses growing more intense with each passing moment. ★★★ 𝐀𝐕𝐀 ( 𝐍𝐎𝐇 𝐉𝐈𝐇𝐘𝐄) - After her fallout with her best friend, it seemed like her life had taken a turn for the worse. Despite her successful career as a model and background dancer for many successful artists, she was still unhappy. Not only was she dealing life without her best friend by her side, but she was also struggling to cope with a recent and unexplained break-up, which made it difficult for her to move forward. Although her financial situation improved, her mental state definitely went downhill. Until...? 𝐊𝐘𝐀𝐍 -From dancer to fighter. Not only did he have to deal with the love of his life suddenly disappearing to another city, he also threw away his dancing career after falling for a scam involving his whole family.

Phoenix by bossbitch3000

My entire body felt on fire under his intense gaze. I tried my best to avoid eye contact as he towered over me, but once my eyes met his, the usual amber color of his orbs went darker and darker until they were now of a fervent brown shade and his pupils dilated drastically. The sight shocked me, causing goosebumps to rise all across my arms as electricity shot up my spine and my stomach erupted not in butterflies, but rather, I'd say in pterodactyls. It was both a terrifying and mesmeric sight... ___________________________________________ After being dared to kiss the first person to enter the dark room, 19 year old Essence later finds out that the person she kissed, 21 year old Phoenix, is her hand to hand combat trainer in her new assassin's school. Will the chemistry between them lead to a successful love formula?
