  "I am the spy in the shadows; the thief in the night; a seductress in the dark; the fist that you never saw coming; and, when absolutely necessary, the bringer of your final breath.  I am good at what I do, I am damn good at all of it. As a matter of fact, I am the very best."

     "I am Mercy Evanston and I am Trace Waterford's favorite weapon."

~*~*~

Mercy's life is turned upside down late one night when her parents' boss, Mr. Waterford, wakes her.  Her parents were gone and she was now to be under Mr. Waterford's care.  No big deal.

However, you know what they say, when you are not looking...
On what should have been a simple mission with Trace.  Things take a turn when the night heats up, unexpectedly.  Leading the two to explore emotions that they had, both, long denied.  Though things can never be that easy, no, not for...

Safe from Scars (COMPLETE) by acvrson

"Mommy?" I looked up from her arms and into her smile. "Yes, my little light?" She replied back, with a curious grin. Nothing but love, gentleness, and kind warmth on her sweet face. Six year old me stared into her glistening eyes. Eyes that could melt glaciers. Those eyes. "What is it my love?" She questioned again with an angelic smile. That damn smile. The sudden breeze pushed the windows to slam open against the walls, as the curtains flew up and the rose candle was blown out. The night crept in, invading my bedroom. My mother gasped with a frightened jump and called out my name. Frantically, she flipped the bedside lamp on when she heard no reply. Panic washed over her face as she kneeled beside her sweet little girl, now covered in a blood stained night gown, black eye and bloody lip. "Why did you let him hurt me, mommy?" My mother gasped and fell back onto her hands. Terrified, she stood and with no hesitation, made a dash for the door, leaving her baby girl in the dark corner. Her panicked attempt to leave the room came to a complete stop as she came to face the full length mirror. She stared back in horror, only it wasn't her looking back at her reflection. It was me -Kali emerges from her past that has left every piece of her in ruins. Her life was left shattered into a million pieces. With intentions of starting a new life, she feels like her past will never let her go. When starting over doesn't promise a new start, Kali's life is thrusted in and out of place.

I lost the man I loved, my trust in people, and my home in less than one afternoon. At least I know that I've pushed past unimaginable pain before, and I can do it again. Elijah didn't break me, just my heart. 💔🔨 So, the LAST thing I needed was to run into my ex's best friend, Gray on the street. Who cares if he's hotter than lava? Gray's a cocky jerk who seems to get a misguided kick out of making my blood boil. And did I mention the guy's got a chip on his tattooed shoulder even bigger than his inflated ego? Unfortunately, I just found out that I accidentally hired him to work on the BIGGEST campaign of my career!💀 But when Gray's prismatic eyes fill with heartfelt apologies, I don't know how to feel. It's messing with my mind, my career, my new friendships, and worst of all, it's hurting what's left of my ruined heart.

Malicious Romance by Ekphrastic

Sometimes, not every love story can be as idyllic as it should be. Dean Winchester, bred and raised in the mafia, carried a heart that yearned desperately for love, just like any ordinary person. While the essence of a criminal coursed through his veins, his heart wept for every inhumane act he committed. No matter how hard he strived to become a better man, he couldn't wash away the thick blood of an outlaw. In the end, he never expected anyone to care for him. All he ever longed for in his life was to experience the tender embrace of a mother's love, like everyone else. Sadly, even his own mother chose to abandon him to the clutches of his ruthless father, the Cobra mafia boss. Every twist of fate was fueled by the mere fact that he carried the blood of a killer, leaving him branded as a monster without a chance to prove his worth. Dean grew weary of trying to change people's perceptions of him. Until one fateful day, he crossed paths with the daughter of his sworn enemy, and his world turned upside down. In her presence, he discovered acceptance for who he truly was. For the first time in his life, he experienced genuine love. Every emotion, from tenderness to heartbreak, washed over him, gradually numbing his senses. ***WARNING*** Strong Adult Content & Explicit Language 18+. The story contains brutal acts of violence.

Angel by nickyoregon

ANGEL He infuriated me ever since our first encounter. I admired his looks and patience he had while holding me hostage. But as the months followed up, our hate towards one another bloomed. So much, that the ashes inside of me bloomed as well. LUKAS She infuriated me since the first time I laid eyes in her. The angelic face with the most electric, shining eyes I've ever found myself looking at. It took every fiber in my body not to kill her while she ate my patience away, when holding her hostage in my basement. Months followed up, and my hate towards her reached a point with no control. After all, hate and love have the same rush of adrenaline. }{ Dark Angel, a skilled assassin, is hired to kill the same man the most dangerous, ruthless and cold Mafia mobster ever known, Lukas Moretti, is after. No one knows her true name, her true self. She lives by 'we born alone, we die alone', that's why she doesn't has any type of relationship with anyone, mostly since her sky fell upon her. She works alone, moves like a shadow that leaves her smooth mark in every path she's gone through. They call her ruthless, she prefers merciless. Quiet as a shadow, fast as light, smart as a tiger catching his prey, and delicate like a lief... Dark Angel isn't fragile like a flower, she's fragile like a bomb.

Heartless Heiress ✔️ by RainElectric

Viscious, cruel, cold -- those are just some of the words used to describe Jade Von Kaiser, the sole heiress to the Von Kaiser fortune. Working alongside her father, she has proven to be the only one worthy of the title, and she doesn't care who she steps on to become the very best. The only person who can take her down a notch is Dylan Sharp, a handsome sociopath with a charming smile and a cocky attitude. When Dylan becomes Jade's personal servant, things spiral out of control quickly as power dynamics change, and Jade is left to question everything she's ever known. _________________________________ 'The elevator ride up was silent as Jade seethed quietly, a considerable distance from me. I sighed and snaked my arm around her waist, pulling her close with ease. I bowed my head and brushed my lips against her cheek. "Are you mad at me? I'll make it up to you," I cooed, kissing her neck gently. God, why did I love getting under her skin so damn much? I loved the cute way her eyebrows scrunched when she got mad or the way her freckles seemed to glow when she was embarrassed. "S-stop it," she said not-so-convincingly as she held her palms against my shoulders. I sucked softly on her neck right under her ear while trailing my fingers up her leg, releasing breathless gasps from her. Just as things were about to get good, the elevator dinged, and the doors began to open.' MATURE: Depictions of sex, violence, profanity, abusive/toxic relationships, drugs, and other mature themes.

Fated by JaideHarley

****COMPLETED**** "You're driving me crazy," I growled, dropping my hand down to her waist then around to her lower back, sucking her earlobe into my mouth and dragging my teeth along it. She groaned and dropped her head back against the wall. Her sounds were intoxicating. I could smell how much she was responding to me and it brought my need for her out even more. I cupped her cheek and brought my lips over to hers, just barely brushing against them. "Addie," I whispered against her mouth, threading my hand through her hair. ... Addie has been abducted and thrown into the supernatural world. She discovers vampires have kidnapped her to manipulate an Alpha werewolf. Not just any werewolf, her mate.
