Wicked Sins by ironlady456

"There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable." - Mark Twain ------------------------- The moment our eyes meet, the sparks in the air are almost tangible. My heart begins to flutter in my chest as I slowly slip away, drowning in those arcane silver seas that glinted with specks of gold in them. My breaths are stolen away with just a fortuitous slight brush of his hand against mine. And he isn't exactly in oblivion of the profound emotions he kindles in me. He is rather transparent about it. But, he is forbidden. He is my cousin's husband. The cousin who means more than a sister to me. We are bestfriends. And I just couldn't be selfish enough to set fire to their marriage that was already falling apart. So, I concealed my unequivocal attraction for him in the deepest corner of my mind until the night when he shows up on my doorstep with intents darker than the tenebrous night. -------------------------- **Warning: This novella contains mature and sexual contents.

But it was all worth it in the end, to be with him. But was he the answer she was looking for, or is he a monster through and through?

An Angel Amongst Devils (An enemies to lovers, slow burn romance) by prettytragedies4ever

'"Tell me what's wrong." I laugh, but it's filled with sadness, "I can't tell you what's wrong, I don't know you." "That's exactly why you can tell me. Because you don't know me." "Why do you care?" I whisper. "Why are you crying?" "I..." I whisper so quietly I can almost not even hear myself, though my sobs "I don't have anywhere to go."' When Emma's Mother dies, she has no intentions of returning home to live with her hated stepfather. Emma finds herself wondering the busy streets of New York aimlessly. This is where she realises that she has nowhere to go. She's 18 and homeless. Perfect! With little to no hope left, she meet's Arlo. He's cocky, arrogant and an undeniable asshole, but just so frustratingly so, he also happens to be the most handsome man Emma had ever laid her eyes upon. When he offers the offer of a lifetime, Emma debates if she can trust this stanger and whether there is more to this man than what meets the eye. What happens when your only hope is a stranger?

State of Soul by knherzner

Book 3 of 3 *Began: Monday, October 7, 2019* *Finished: Friday, November 8, 2019* I sat down at a desk with my laptop open and a cup of water. From there I just let my imagination go wild. My fingers wove the worlds that my soul told me to. This was the outcome. This was the product of that spirit. This is the state of my soul. **NOTE: I own all the characters/stories/photos used in this book. Please do not try to claim any of my work as your own without proper crediting.

Wicked Desire by hermione488

"B-Ben" "Yea," I said breathlessly "I've never... I don't know if I want to" "I wasn't going to let it go that far. Not yet" I admitted. I didn't want to scare her, it's just not the right time. "Do you want me to stop?" Her chest was rising and falling hard, she was getting flustered. She reached up to my shoulders and to my waist with her shakey hands. "I don't... I don't think so..." --------- Clodagh is thrust into a life she can't escape from. Taken from her apartment late one night by a mysterious man, a 20-year-old university student from Ireland is introduced to a new and strange life with her captor, Ben. His intentions are unclear; although obviously infatuated with her, can she figure out why she is here? She loses herself to survive, forgets her old life to be at peace in her new one, and forms a strange connection with the man who made it all possible. So will she wake up from this dream as she discovers the twisted and horrifying secrets of the reason she has been brought here or will she stay in this twisted fantasy long enough to lose herself completely... The longer she stays in her dream, the more reality slips away. She needs to come up for air before it's too late.

Wings, Flings, and Demon Kings [Paranormal Romance] by SophieKestrel

[COMPLETE] A rambly angel. A debonair demon. A very stuck elevator... NIRAEL has never been the best angel. A little too loud, always in the wrong place at the wrong time, she constantly finds herself written up by her archangel superiors for minor misdemeanors. When her Remedial Goodness program forces her to do a capstone project on Earth, she decides this will be the day she finally turns her life around. That is, until she meets... AZERATH has always been a good demon. Which, for a demon, is tantamount to career suicide. Sent to Earth as part of his Remedial Evil program, his demonic superiors issue him an ultimatum: corrupt a hundred souls in the next month or risk being unmade. But they didn't specify that the souls he corrupts have to be human. Mostly romcom fluff with a dash of existential angst.

The Winged by _Tiny_Stories_

Surviving can be difficult when you're only a few inches tall. Fanged beasts see you as their prey, every creature is bigger than you, and the world seems to work against small things. Not to mention the struggles of getting from place to place... but the worst of it all? Humans. Once a year, every year, summer sweeps over the forest. The sun warms the leaves and the damp melts away until the world of the Winged flourishes. Those warm months are when survival becomes the hardest. Drawn by the beauty of the forest, humans of all kind invade the already dangerous home of the small Winged people. Fear of these monsters is shared throughout the tribes. One sacred piece of advice is known: avoid humans at all costs. They know only how to destroy and hurt. ___ Despite the protests of her close friend, Azure accepts a mission that takes her from the safety of her tribe. Things begin well despite her trepidation of the approaching summer months. That is, until she falls right into the hands of the very creatures she feared. ___ Completed! Beware of some crappy writing and stupid typos :0 Second part is on my account :) :)
