"I know that I must stay, but at this moment, I cannot seem to find an ounce of care for what I 'must' do. My nerves feel weakened by the bolts of lightning that shoot through them, leaving behind a trail of ache and isolation. I stifle my cries, waiting to release them till I reach the wood at the edge of the city. Thunder screams as the heavens above release their tears in the form of rainfall... I halt to a sudden stop on my rusting bike. My eyes look up to the enigmatic figure who caused me to stop so abruptly at the entrance of the woods. His golden, sapphire eyes shine with an innocence I haven't seen in, well, too long. These stranger's eyes reach out to me, touching my very core. He leans closer to me and for reasons unknown to me, I am not afraid as he gently whispers "follow me". "

Spiral Knot (An Office Dark Romance) by Averyaaaaaa

"Now my job is on the line, and Opal and Ivy is about to lose the contract. It wouldn't even take you a damn minute to sign it and get it over with. But no, you choose to play your little power games and refuse to sign. And now you've had the audacity to sue me? You think you can sue me, Gabriel? After everything you did to me, you think you can sue me? I should have done more than just hit you. I should have grabbed your balls, crushed them, made the server fry them, and fed them to your precious employees and then watched them eat it-" I stopped abruptly, my breathing heavy and ragged, my eyes locked onto his face. Gabriel had stopped typing, his fingers frozen above the keyboard. But what really held my attention were his eyes. One was a pale, almost ghostly grey with flecks of hazel, while the other was a deep, warm hazel. A flicker of amusement danced across his features, and he let out a low, almost mocking laugh. Dimples. "Crush my balls?" "No... I... uh meant that-" I straightened up, trying to regain my composure. "I didn't really mean your balls." ♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤ Daphne Hawthorne was living her best life as a recent graduate until she met a mysterious Spanish man with hazel eyes and a flirty smile.

the Future begins Yesterday by rozinislimuzinas

The scars, telling horrifying stories. Lips, spreading lies to survive under the sun. A thin body, kissed by bruises and tattoos, that knows what deprivation and violence mean. Dark brown eyes that have seen a bit too many pools of blood. A squinted gaze of an observer, encountering the condemning eyes of strangers who were superior in many aspects. Pale skin, unbothered by the sun for three decades. If I still had pronounced canine teeth, I could qualify for a vampire role in some silly movie in that revered box of changing images. Life didn't fight for me, so I put all my efforts into my meaningless existence under the sun, pretending to be what I always was-invisible. You guessing how I got here? By storm. That's me, a sarcastic Ghost filled with cynicism, who became human a decade ago and lived without a damned birth certificate until I got behind bars upon reaching adulthood. Now, on the brink of freedom, I'm entangled in a mission that could save my soul-or damn it forever. Then came Rosy Cheeks, the wildcard who changed all the rules. With a laugh that echoed like bells in a windstorm and eyes that saw right through my cynical facade, he was a beacon in my dark world. His mere presence forced me to confront parts of myself I had long buried. He shattered my defenses with his genuine warmth and relentless hope, traits I had thought extinct in this cruel world. In this gritty, pulse-pounding tale of survival, deception, and reluctant heroism, one question lingers: Can a ghost ever truly find redemption, or are some spirits doomed to wander eternally in the shadows? With Rosy Cheeks by my side, everything changes. The stakes have never been higher, and the journey has never been more uncertain. Will I find the light, or will the darkness reclaim me? Join me in this journey, where every choice matters and every soul can be saved-or lost. Perhaps together, we'll discover whether even the most cynical of ghosts can find a spark of light in the abyss. +18 MM romance

Brave Enough To Love Again by CalliopeBlythe

I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery.

Adelina by Short_stuff95

"I can show how much of a 'little' guy I am." He said emphasizing the little. He came closer to me. Our lips were inches away. I could smell the scent of his cologne definitely not cheap. My breathing became uneven. "What's wrong princess? Cat got your tongue" He stroked my cheek. I leaned into his touch but he removed it. He pulled away grabbing another glass. I let out a breath. I turned around. Guess I have to do this the hard way. I leaned near to his ear. He tensed. "Teasing me is only making me wet. Imagine you inside me. Screaming your name. I guess you don't want that." I said seductively. I kissed his ear.
