"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.

Did you really think our story ended yet? Well, I feel bad for you then. There are still many more people to kill, many more beings to hurt, and now that she's with me, I'll teach her how I play. I play; everything is a game to me whether it's making dinner or just... Murder. So many people hurt her, and usually I do mercy killings and put you out of your misery... But that's when I'm in control; when I'm calm, I'm collected and mature. You do not want to see me angry. And trust me, if any of you touched her... I might not be so compassionate. ***** The master might've been dead, but there were other things coming after Elijah and Luna. But Luna still was fragile. Despite recent events, it doesn't seem like the master's reign is over. Everyone coming for them had their daggers aimed toward Luna's existence...

Lusting After Lucifer (18+) ☑ by Zondra_Allison
8 parts Complete Mature
This is an erotic romance. Recommended 18+! Completed. Excerpt: His mouth was back on mine in an instant, the door behind us rattling loudly as he thrust against me. "Does the geriatric kiss you like this?" He mumbled against me as his teeth nipped at my already swollen lips. I pulled back once more, my heighted state of emotions, my anger taking over. "What if I said I don't want you?" A devilish grin took over as one of his hands slid along my thigh, under my skirt, his fingers tracing over the soft, damp material of my underwear. His mouth moved down to my neck, nipping at the juncture between my shoulder and neck. "I would call you a fucking liar." I tried to bite back the moan as his teeth skimmed my neck, before sinking in hard, his fingers pushing under the edge of my panties. He hesitated for a moment, waiting for me to stop him. I didn't want him to stop. One finger slid over my folds before pushing into my entrance, sinking in deep. He groaned in pleasure, his erection twitching against my core as his finger began to move. "I can feel just how much you want me." **** Lucian Vanderbrooke has been labeled many things in his lifetime. Bad boy, asshole, troublemaker, pornstar, the list goes on. He is nicknamed Lucifer for a reason. He gets who he wants, when he wants. Everything changes when he sets his sights on his twin sisters' best friend, his childhood friend who he has always had a love/hate relationship with. Abigail Davidson is a determined redheaded spitfire who doesn't take attitude from anyone. She has secretly been in love with her best friend's brother for her entire life, even though every sensible thought she has is telling her to hate the arrogant asshole. It is a love that she can't act on. A love that must remain hidden. That pact they made when they were 16, doesn't mean anything... right? Standalone spin off from the Distorted Windows Trilogy. Can be read on its own but it is recommended to read the others first.
