"The opposite of his love was not hate. I experienced his hate. It could be as bright and hot as his love. No, the opposite of his love was his indifference. When his eyes would pass through my body, reminding me that I could be nothing to him. That I could be nothing at all"

16 year old Maya is looking for excitement, for connection, for life. When she meets Lucan she is swept into a love affair that feels different. It feels like destiny.  Yet, as she is drawn deeper into the murky haze of the relationship, she is forced to sacrifice pieces of herself. Bit by bit she  is consumed by the fire of his passion and crushed by the grip of his iron control. This is what it feels like to lose yourself.All Rights Reserved

Hunted (Cursed Love book 1) by Narriyasa

This is the first book of the Cursed Love series. ------------ I wanted it all to end. Desperately. I wanted to forget, to be forgotten. But I had crossed a line I was never meant to approach. It wasn't my choice to make, but I made it anyway-too far gone to turn back. I was a coward, a fool who made the wrong move. I wanted him too much, I wanted to be etched into his skin. But I had ruined my chances a long time ago, a lot more than I've anticipated. Now, he won't stop until I'm completely stripped and ripped open. I can feel it, the way he's picking me apart. I'm his puppet, worse than it was being his plaything. And I know he won't spare me. Not when there's so much left to destroy.

Zyler Stone, 27. They say the devil was once an angel. But this man taught tricks to the horn-headed beast himself. What happens when he falls for a girl he vowed to kill? He was supposed to kill her, but for the first time, his hands couldn't fire that gun. He couldn't kill her. Instead, he decided to keep her for himself. The devil went far for her, too far that she couldn't take it. Will she move to hell with him, or will he move heaven and earth for her? Despite his initial intention to silence her, Zyler made her his. Obsessed with every move she made, he watched from the shadows, consumed by a dark desire he couldn't control. As Autumn's life begins to spiral out of control, she realizes that there's no escape from the darkness that surrounds her. In this heart-stopping tale of danger and desire, Autumn and Zyler are pitted against each other in a battle for control.

I Accidentally Summoned a Demon by JaideHarley

"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band.
