It was the summer of '93, and the weather was almost hotter than the location. But then again, what could be hotter than hell? The Ninth! Some would assume that the steam which rose from the broken sidewalks in front of the brick apartment building justified the neighbor hood's nickname, the Ninth Circle of Hell. The heat wave however, had nothing to do with why people associated Messalina projects with Dante's Inferno. No, that honor went to the infestation of dealers, crack heads, boosters, and hoes. Dope boys handled their business like it was legal, and everyone learned to look the other way. If they didn't learn, then they never got the chance to look again.

Life in the ninth operated by the code of the wild, predators ate and prey got eaten. The drug dealers sat on the top of chain. Boosters, strippers and hoes fell somewhere in the middle, while the crack heads and the civilians clung to the last wrung. Everyone knew their assigned roles and no one ever deviated from the script. Cleopatra James, an unremarkable thirteen year old girl, understood better than anyone, her dictated place in the procession. But that didn't mean she accepted the role she'd been given to play.

Guardians of Freecaster High #1 "That doesn't make any sense. You were the one who left me. You didn't care anymore." "If I didn't care, Alexis, then why is it I can't touch another girl unless I'm imagining you?" He pushes against me, trapping me against the wall, his minty beer breath skating across my lips. "J-Jace, you don't have t-to do this," I stammer, already losing the fight as my body melts against his. Jace's hand moves to trace his thumb across my bottom lip. "Why do I obsess about kissing you again? Why do memories of holding you still haunt me?" His face pinches in agony. "Why can't I do the right fucking thing and leave you alone?" _______________________________________________ Alexis 'Lexi' Young has four goals; pass her senior year of high school, buy her own wheels, get accepted to culinary school, and forget that her ex-boyfriend ever existed. Seems easy enough, right? Nope! Not when the school across town burns to the ground and all the students are sent to her school. Included in those new students is none other than Jace Hall, Lexi's ex, and his motorcycle riding, street fighting, off the wall friends. As for Jace, he'll forever regret breaking Lexi's heart, but it was either that or put her in the line of danger. Now that she's in arms reach, staying away is a lot harder to do. Especially when everything she does drives him crazy. But being part of the Guardians means trouble is never far behind, and getting close to Lexi again could put a target on her back. She wants to resist old temptations and protect her heart. He wants nothing more than to pull her close and keep her safe. But are you ever really safe when kissing your ex? ______________________________________________ Recommended age is 17+ for cursing, sexual content, and violence Best Ranking: #1 in HighSchool Romance 6/4/2022 #3 in teenlove 6/3/22 #1 in MatureThemes 1/11/21 #8 in Drama 12/31/20 Copyright © Chelsea Frey 2020 All rights reserved

My girl, an average enough, beautiful enough, funny, outspoken, 'okayish' African-Latina female with an annoying enough sibling, Check.. My other girl, a pretty enough, rich, almost spoilt, outspoken, and free-spirited, French chick with a bad taste in male partners, Check.. A dream job that becomes a nightmare, Check.. The man whose name is 'boss', Check.. Oh crap! Just go on and read the adventures of the two friends of man's second best friend from the perspective of man's second best friend.. But wait a second! Whoever made us man's second best friends when we're far more beneficial that those lowly woof-woofs?! *********** EXCERPT "I'm not sure you completely understand the situation you're in right now, Alessandra" I heard the sounds before I saw it. The headlights of none other than an incoming train. Phew! In the very least, people will be around to call 911 if he whips out a gun to shoot me here, right now and kill me! Hold on a second! Something still doesn't feel right.. Yes! That's an incoming train. Wheeled vehicles that travel on tracks! Railway tracks! And we're fucking on its way! The realisation of my predicament dawned on me and slapped me hard in the face, for not realizing it sooner. I turned to David, horror-stricken. "It's either work for me, willingly, or a fatal automobile accident. And if I'm having another bout of benevolence, your brother gets to join you on the other side too.."
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.

Mafia Dark Romance : ••••••••• she looked back and saw him coming towards her with red blood shoot eyes. She didn't even blink her eyes when he was standing in front of her with her small body pressed to his hard muscular one. A gasp escaped her mouth when he hold the back of her neck and pulled her impossibly closer to him. "Say no to this wedding." He whispered near her lips in a dangerous calm voice. Being scared out of her wits, she shooked her head negatively making his hold more tighter on her waist and nape and pulling her so close that she have to stand on her toe. "I will make your life living hell kitten." He whispered as his lips kept touching hers lightly. "I-I wo-won't." She whispered as tears perked in her eyes. He didnt said anything and kept looking intensily in her eyes. He knew that she isn't even breathing becoz of their proximity and he liked his effects on her. "Be ready then. Just remember you are the one who kept herself in this position. Now there is no going back." Saying this he kissed the corner of her mouth and left her nape. ••••••••••••••• She is cold.

Unrestrained Ecstasy | 18+ by yeejia_gisei
12 parts Ongoing Mature
The moment Naomi's eyes locked with his, she was toast. Burnt toast. The kind that sets off the smoke alarm and has the neighbors wondering what fresh hell you've gotten yourself into this time. He was a kingpin, a power player in a world hidden beneath the surface of polite society. She knew the risks--hell, she'd read enough Wikipedia articles on organized crime to write a (very poorly researched) thesis. But she also knew that sometimes, the sweetest pleasures come from dancing with the devil...and then making him buy you breakfast the next morning. This wasn't a man who courted; he conquered. And Naomi was more than ready to be conquered. She knew he'd consume her--body, soul, and that secret stash of chocolate she kept on her nightstand. But Naomi wasn't just any damsel in distress. She was ready to consume right back, to leave her own mark on his heart (and maybe his leather jacket, if she got the chance). He'd take it all, claim it all, and probably ruin it all. And Naomi would let him because sometimes, submission is the ultimate power move. An unrestrained ecstasy that knows no bounds, right? But Naomi wasn't about to go down this path of unrestrained ecstasy alone. That just wasn't her style. She knew exactly what she was getting into, and she was all in. Halfway wasn't an option--not for Naomi. (Warning: This is a dark romance, chock-full of mature content that might ruffle a few feathers. It's strictly for those who've blown out at least 18 candles on their birthday cake.) ****YAZNA IS ON HIATUS. SEE YOU IN 2025!****
