Selene Arsinoe is living in the most volatile time in Egyptian history. Her queen, Cleopatra, is having a love affair with the Roman dictator Julius Caesar. Many Romans and Egyptians alike frown upon the affair. The Romans and Egyptians are tense, most unwilling to associate themselves with the other. But when Selene meets Alexander Helios, apprentice to Mark Antony, the lines between Roman and Egyptian blur, along with those of being loyal and being a traitor. Selene and Alexander form a bond so strong it's almost unbreakable...but will they last, like the pyramids, or will they be torn apart by the nations they love dearly?All Rights Reserved

Prisoner 999 (Under Editing) by sapphireherondale

Sneak preview: 2035, 12 January, Mars "NOOOO!" I screamed and tried to break free from the iron grip on my right arm. Tears were streaming down my face as I saw my Mother and Father drop to the ground with blood oozing out of the wound from their backs. "Come on, Emmaline. We have to go!" My Soard, Sam hissed and tugged at my arm, dragging me along. I followed his pull but continued to stare at the blurry lifeless body of my parents. Their blank and lifeless eyes were still on me but they held one word; Sorry. My lips quivered a little. Sam pulled me into the spacecraft and I placed both of my hands onto the glass as he settled me down onto my chair. --------------- This is a story about sacrifice, heartbreak, broken promises, friendship and sadness. But there are hints of happiness, hints of romance, dangerous love, a love like a rose with thorns around, bittersweet partings, light feathery kisses... She is a royalty on Mars but a prisoner on Earth. Do you see a connection? I don't, but read on if you want to find out more about all this, Princess Emmaline, about how she fought; her story.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 pooled at the eyes of the seductress in front of me. ❝You still hate me?❞ The poison in my heart moaned as I bottomed out in her, her wetness tightening around me. ❝Of course I do- fuck! Right there!❞ She cried out, biting her lip to quiet her moans, trying her hardest to deprive me of that soul quenching satisfaction. I gently tug at her bottom lip with my thumb, releasing her lip from her teeth, wanting to hear every cry come from that pretty mouth. ❝That pussy of yours says otherwise❞ I moan, repeatedly slamming in and out of her, basking in her seductive aura, feeling myself crumble from her touch. ▂▂▂▂▂ What occurs when two fundamentally different worlds intersect but relate to one another more than anticipated?

Will he by tanzwrites

Let's face it, We all have that one person who we secretly love, the person who's never going to know how much you care about them. The person who we hide away from because when you're with them it's like you're so afraid of losing them but you also know not to hold on to them. The person you've known forever but still won't notice your presence. For Eliza Larson, that person is Carter Fenix. But it isn't that simple, he's not her crush but not a stranger either. Eliza has her life together, a loving boyfriend, a good friend group, a brother by her side, and good grades. Carter is falling apart, he has a messed up past with a doubtful future; he desperately needs help and that's when Eliza catches his attention. All she needs to do is convince her older brother, Elliot, to let Carter live with them for a while. Would Eliza be willing to risk letting go of her perfect life just to fix Carter's? Or would their worlds collide and cause Eliza's world to come crashing down? Carter's world doesn't just involve problems regarding his family life, but when he returns to his home, his soul gets tangled with another. Can he keep up with these overwhelming emotions?

The Solar Princess by HanaSafaya

Kingship, the ultimate power in the ancient world. To the Egyptians, it was a power passed through the female line. Only the husband of the Solar Princess could be king. A recently discovered tomb in 1883 opens a glimpse into the depths of political ambisions and power plays from centuries before. When the gods dabble, the horrors of the past have a way of coming back to haunt the world once again. ********** This is a short story. I hope you like it. I would love to hear feedback on this. I set this as mature just to be sure. I don't give overly explicit details of violence or sex, however, the story does delve into topics of a more mature nature. It is also a work of fiction that I wrote. Please do not copy any part of this story. I do not own the rights to the photos posted. Those are just images I found online and the rights go to the original owners. Thank you. As for the names of the characters, I pulled all of the names during the historical periods from actual history. So, I am sorry if the names are odd or difficult to follow, it is set during a specific reign and the historical people around the royal palace. I really enjoy writing from actual history as much as possible when I do delve into history. If people like this, I may try to work on a longer story of a historical romance in the Ottoman courts.

Acacia by Robin_Wolfe1875

Anna of Achaea was the daughter of King Physcon and Cleopatra. Her beauty had been told through all of Greece as many had wished to bed her. She was strong of heart, often being called "Ánna i léaina" by her men. Since the fall of the Sasanian Dynasty nearly 6 decades prior, a young general had been rising through the ranks. Many had believed Mark Antony was a great general, one who took pride in his victories and always sought vengeance for his defeats. Anna and Mark knew each other very well from prior encounters, they both served under sister kingdoms and had stood in for their kings for peace accords. Anna hadn't ever liked Mark, he had a sharp tongue and an outdated belief about women. One night the tides of battle change, Mark sets out an army against Annas' in the dead of night as they pass through a neighboring area. He feigns ignorance, claiming the light of the moon distorted their flag and he had been sure it was that of the Geraki. Anna knew better. Her advisor and lifetime friend, Sebastian, warned they should make haste for Achaea. He feared Mark was planning to do something horrible to her and knew that they were safest there. Impenetrable walls overlooked the sea, from their outposts they could see as far out as the city-state of Athens. But Mark had other plans. ---- Please note, this is a fantasy.

Rome: Wicked Game by -DataBase-

After the Ides of March, Julius Caesar's grandnephew is called back to Rome to witness the will being opened. To the teenager's shock, the will states he is now Caesar's heir in name, money, and loyalty to his army. Marcus Agrippa is loyal to Octavian, the heir to Caesar's name and fortune. But he is loyal to a fault, which soon turns into infatuation for the young Octavian. Marcus Antonius thought he was going to be Caesar's heir, but the realization Octavian is heir instead leaves a bitter taste in his mouth. Hateful at the teenager for stealing his glory, he toys with Octavian, trying to win his favors. Both Antony and Agrippa desire to be on Octavian's good side; ranging from gifts to secret letters given to the handsome faced youth with the curled blonde hair. Alarmed and flattered, Octavian toys with the men back, playing in their wicked game. (Note: In this alternate history, Antony never falls in love with Cleopatra. Both Antony and Agrippa love Octavian, who has to decide between becoming the first Roman Emperor or the first Roman Pharaoh once Cleopatra and Caesarion are dead.)
