I stand still with my breath coming out in short gasps. I wonder if what I was about to do, what we were about to do, if God was watching. And as His hand traced my shoulder lower until like a feather he touched the middle of my back I knew that this was a place where no God watched us. 
"Are you afraid mi Amaré?"
I paused but only for a moment to gather my wits and reply,
"No, never. For you are Death and I am Life itself."
And I foolishly turned around to face Him with adoration in my eyes as He took me upon the bed with more feeling and love than I ever thought possible.
                                                                                      ~~~

Atlantis was the first city to sink. Hundreds of cities followed, and millions of people drowned, swallowed by an unforgiving ocean. It seemed as if half the world was underwater. Among the few survivors was Ayesha Akhdir. In a post-apocalyptic world, Ayesha must navigate visions and voices, discovering abilities she can't explain. Ayesha soon meets others who have survived, each with their own unique abilities. She doesn't know why she's survived or what her purpose is. She doesn't have long to find out. "Just as the wave prepared to crash down and engulf the land, swallowing everyone on it, blinding pain erupted in my head, sending me staggering away from the window. Before everything fell black I heard a familiar voice roar in my mind. 'THE BEGINNING IS NIGH!'" The Beginning of what? WHAT READERS ARE SAYING "I love the Description and imagery..."

[COMPLETED : 5|09|2016 and slowly editing ] He snapped his fingers and a red flame flourished into existence. "How did you-" "I'm a professional." He smirked, clearly enjoying this. If I got a penny for everytime I rolled my eyes at him, I would probably be a billionaire. In a limousine. With a hot wife. And a hotter girl to cheat on her with. And that too I'm straight. He flexed his palms and the flame disappeared. "With practice, even you can control your Blue Matter." I didn't say anything, just nodded. "This Blue Matter is stronger than Red Matter. It can destroy beings. Be careful with it." "Uh, so I am a DreamMaire?" "No, Sophie, you're the Dream Maker." _______________________ Sophie Hazelwood, sixteen, just makes it in the world with her confident aura and weird humour.

"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.

Empress Of Wrath, Blood And Desire by She-stay-lit
41 parts Complete Mature
Aurora Velasco fled from a life promised to her: an entire empire on a golden platter. Despite possessing the skills, power, strength, and knowledge to rule, she never wanted the throne, not with the risks. Yet, her people will stop at nothing to see her ascend as their empress. Determined to escape this fate, she runs relentlessly, evading all who pursue her. Then she meets him. Marcellous Di Capo, a notorious and ruthless Don, becomes obsessed with Aurora after a one-night stand. Known as the devil incarnate, Marcellous is accustomed to taking possession of what he desires, and Aurora is no exception. The moment she holds a gun to his head, challenging her destiny, she becomes his obsession. Little does he know, the woman behind the mask is his worst nightmare. - "We are going to play a game, my sunshine," he murmurs, his hot breath trailing along the side of my neck. His hand finds my heated pussy, clutching it with just enough force to remind me exactly who it belong to. My heart stutters, my breath falters, and all I can feel is the searing heat of his presence. His lips hover dangerously close to my ear. "One where I fuck you recklessly, without mercy, and you won't make a sound... because if anyone around us hears, I will punish you." *** This book is unapologetically intense, filled with a few graphic violence and explicit content that explores the darker sides of humanity. It's not for people who shy away from brutal, unfiltered storytelling. If violence and sexual themes make you uncomfortable, this might not be the story for you. Proceed with caution- you've been warned. #1 in Spy: October 9, 2024 #1 in plot: January 17, 2025
Major Arcana: sex, love, and Tarot by FionnaGuillaume
24 parts Complete Mature
Rosemary has just been dumped. Again. In desperation, she follows her sister's advice and decides to undergo a process of self reflection with one simple tool: a deck of Tarot cards. Join Rosemary in a revealing, heartfelt - and sexy - quest to find herself through the Major Arcana. ** Tarot cards, contrary to popular belief, are not for seeing the future. Rather, they reveal information about an individual's state of mind, inner thoughts, and subconscious wisdom. A full Tarot deck contains 78 cards: 56 Minor Arcana (divided into four suits: Wands (or Staffs); Discs (or Pentacles); Cups, and Swords), which include numbered cards 1 - 10, and also "face" cards of King, Queen, Knight, and Page. The Minor Arcana depict specific individuals, events, decisions, or possible outcomes, and add detail to any Tarot reading. There are also 22 Major Arcana cards. These cards represent major ideas, elements, or "twists". Starting with The Fool and ending with The World, the Major Arcana also present the narrative of a journey. It is this which inspired my writing this erotic romance, featuring Rosemary as the reluctant reader of Tarot. Through the cards, she will grow and change - and find love - all while examining her innermost self. I'm leaving this story up to the cards. Each chapter is influenced by the card I pick; the Tarot will guide me as I write. (As will you, readers, with your comments, feedback, and suggestions). I hope this journey will offer plenty of enjoyment to lovers of romance, Tarot, and good storytelling, alike. (Please note: this has been adapted to meet Wattpad's qualifications for submission. Never fear: the full-on, Fionna-style erotic version shall be published when complete! For all those who enjoy a little more spice with their romance. :)
