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.

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.)

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 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.

Loving THE Jack Harlow❤️ by Milf2022

It had been building for months, but neither of them had wanted to cross that line. The night was quiet, the only sound the rustling of leaves in the wind as they sat on the porch of Egypt's house. Jack had come over after a fight with her brother, just needing a break from everything-especially the rumors about his love life and the chaos of his tour. "You don't have to stay, Jack," Egypt said softly, staring out into the dark. "You've got your own stuff to deal with." "I want to," Jack said, his voice firm but gentle. "I'm not going anywhere." The tension hung in the air between them, a familiar feeling that had been there since they first met. Egypt's heart pounded in her chest, and she didn't know if it was from the comfort of Jack's presence or the fact that every time he was near, something inside her shifted. Jack reached out, his fingers lightly brushing her hand, and the contact sent a jolt through her. She turned to look at him, and for a long moment, neither of them spoke. His eyes searched hers, as if asking for permission, and Egypt felt herself leaning in before she could stop. When their lips finally met, it was like everything else faded away. The kiss was soft at first, tentative, as if they were both afraid of what it would mean. But as Jack's hand slid to the back of her neck, pulling her closer, the kiss deepened, filled with all the things they hadn't said to each other over the past few months. Egypt's heart raced, and for the first time in a long time, she felt like she wasn't alone-like maybe this was where she was supposed to be all along. They pulled apart, their foreheads resting against each other, breathless. Jack's voice was low when he finally spoke, barely more than a whisper. "Your brother is gonna kill me." Egypt laughs a bit and smiles, "He definitely will."
