"Carter. Carter, I can't-" I stammer trying to push his head away but he was stubborn, determined.

"Move your hand." His voice was dark and hoarse, his hand leaving my thigh to push mine away before returning to hold down my leg. I knew he could feel the shakiness of my leg, but he didn't seem to care.

"It's too much!" My hips buck as I moan uncontrollably. I was too loud. I covered my mouth.

Carter tuts, "Ivy, if I have to tell you to move your hand again I will tie them to the bed." He threatens and I was so tempted to keep my hand over my mouth. "I want to hear you."

With Nathaniel's hand wrapped around Ellari's throat, his body pressing her against the door of his office. His eyes were practically burning though her soul, if that was even possible.

His Dark Claim von Lunasads

"Why can't you let me go?" Her timid voice echoed through the walls of his heart and he heaved a deep sigh. He couldn't. How could he? She was the air he breathed. Blood in his veins. It was so simple and yet he couldn't make her understand. How did their relationship end up like this? He loved her and she loved him, didn't she? Then why? "I cannot do so, Dolcezza. I'll go crazy without you, you cannot leave me, I won't allow you to." And she shook her head, a laugh-filled with disbelief escaping her lips as she struggled to unbind herself from the chains. "Then at least free me of them." "No." A love so vicious it binds. A madness so deep it consumes. Escape is an illusion, and freedom... a cruel dream.

You're Like Heaven to Touch von cherrieminds

"You don't really like to open up, do you?" The words startle me, seemingly jagged and impure in contrast to the light and beautiful atmosphere we were in. "I didn't say that." Asher snorted, "You didn't have to." I was quiet for a moment, looking out to the beach and resting my cheek on my knee. "It- It's not that I don't like to," I struggled to find the words good enough to explain. "I just think, maybe, I don't know how to anymore." Asher stares at me for a moment, eyes filled with an emotion that I can't put my finger on. I turn to face him properly, almost gasping when he appears much closer than I remembered. Before I can turn the moment into a joke, he speaks. "Well, if you ever want to learn again, I'll always be right here, Willa. I'm always right here." * Willa Montgomery didn't expect to be uprooted for her last summer before college, but two weeks in, here she is: Santa Monica, California.

Please." I nodded, I looked down at Constance, then I looked back at her. She looks like a bomb ready to detonate, it's over. I stood up and put Constance in his cot, he began to giggle at the sight of the mobile. His fist in his mouth admiring the hanging sea creatures, dolphins, whales, and turtles. I looked back at Evangeline, she was breathing heavily and losing all control. She plopped down on the bed, and I moved from the cot to look at her. Once my feet stood in front of her she took her ring off and threw it at me. It hit my chest. It fell right on my slipper. She was growing with hysteria. Her fingers running through her hair. I was frozen, she was heaving and she fell from the bed onto her knees. She crawled to the corner of the room, in between the wall and the dresser. Her red shirt rubbing against the green walls of the bedroom. Her shoulder grazed the beige dresser, making scratches on her arms and she didn't care. I looked down at the ring sitting on my foot, to my Evangeline. My mouth hung open but I couldn't say anything, the only noise in the room was the scraping of Evangeline's shoulder and the little giggles escaping the cot. My money was on my foot, but my heart split across the room." -Chp 15

Echoed Whispers of Love von thaliahbridget

Mazi thinks everything is fixable given the right tools and time, just not herself. She's irreversibly broken, incomplete, a lost cause. Living in the grey area of not quite dead but not really living, she's the perfect definition of a paradox. Gray is her contradiction. He sees life through more than the lens of black and white. Only living enough to make it through each day. Get up, fix cars, work a second job, sleep, rinse, repeat. Maybe what they need is a little spice in their lives; maybe what they need is a match lit under their asses. "I hate how I noticed the small details, like the slight dusting of freckles below his eyes and across his nose... His eyes. His eyes made me feel like they could see right through me. It was a combination of alarming and mesmerizing. There is no other way to describe him other than intense. My abysmal past with men should be enough to scare me off, to go to any cost to avoid him. It has done exceptionally well in spooking me off the footpath leading to disaster with men every single time, nearly. This time appears to be the exception. I hate that. He is the epitome of the fine line between hate and love. I take that back, I just love to hate him. The way he speaks to me only makes my anger flare. The way he looks at me makes my body temperature rise." Read more to follow their whirlwind romance, healing traumas, and the mending of hearts they didn't break. Update every week!

"He definitely wants to sleep with you," he taunts. "Excuse me?" I look at him weirdly, "What are you even talking about." "The way he touched your arm. That's what people do when they wanna fuck someone." He looks down at his paper and continues to sketch his patterns. I get an idea and scoot my chair closer to his. I lean forward and bring my lips up to his ear, very gently. "Well, that's what you do." He snaps his head towards me like he knows what I'm going to say next. "Do you wanna fuck me?" I whisper, making sure to look at him in awe. I hope it has an even better effect since our faces are closer. He opens his mouth to say something but hesitates. His eyes are everywhere but mine. When he finally catches my stare, he pushes my chair back to where it was before with his foot. "You are such a smart-ass. Would it hurt to swallow your ego for two seconds? Not everything's about you," he argues. "Maybe. I mean- I've swallowed worse," I shrug with a petty smile. *** Lavender Quinn has always struggled with her mental health but somehow managed to always stay at the top of her class... until her senior year.

His Path Of Redemption von Manhattanwannabe

Prologue How do you fix something that is beyond repair? How do you stop your heart from breaking each time you try to fix the wrong?

She was adamant on making the wrong right. He was adamant on making it worse. But In the journey of making his wrongs right, In bringing him out of the darkness. She didn't know she would become darkness herself, she wasn't aware that her heart would break into million pieces which she couldn't put back. ^ ^ ^ ^ "would you treat me the same way if I wasn't independent and equally strong?" I asked breaking the silence. He stared at me and said "No, I wouldn't" shocked would be an understatement, I was astonished his 3 words made my heart jump but I wasn't prepared for what came next, " I wouldn't treat you the same way not because no woman deserves it, but because I would never, EVER bend to anyone because I won't beg for anyone to stay, because I don't NEED anyone" he said, coldly. That day I realized one thing, whatever this guy had gone through was beyond repair but I wasn't aware that with him, even I' d have to go through the same hell. Would Blaze and Olivia cross all limits of being crazy? Will Blaze's cold demeanor be broken by Olivia's warmth? Or will Blaze bring darkness to her like he bought to everything else?

With Nathaniel's hand wrapped around Ellari's throat, his body pressing her against the door of his office. His eyes were practically burning though her soul, if that was even possible. "That man doesn't even deserve you," he spat, anger and possessiveness in his tone of voice. "You know it. I know it. Even your sister knows it, and so does your kingdom. I may not deserve you, but I can treat you better than he can." The way he acted, it didn't terrify Ellari. But it made her feel overwhelmed with emotions that even she didn't know how to describe herself. All she could do was make those sniffing sounds while she was in tears. "Prove it," she stated, her voice rough with emotions. The moment she said those words, she immediately regretted them. But it was too late. Too little, too late. She already said them. However, Nathaniel was grateful she said that. Then, without another second he moved her head closer to his, and he smashed his lips against hers. ❥ ❥ Ellari, the queen of her own land, had been ruling the kingdom of Mistico for some time now. Five years. She had been crowned at fifteen, a year after her parents died. She had been in a relationship for three years. He was toxic, and because Ellari's sister made a promise to always protect her. She went behind Ellari's back to find a good therapist for her. What Ellari didn't know was what was waiting in store for her. Nathaniel, a psychologist, who had a few dark secrets. He was handsome, and he had so many Masters in psychology. He was a sadist, for one. That was one of the secrets he had. But he had been looking for a submissive. However, the moment he met his new patient, he already felt something right about her. He knew how much of a challenge Ellari was going to be. But what would happen if they explored a new, intimate relationship on the side? And in hopes, she'll start to trust him. Whereas outside of work, they explore a new dark relationship. Would that mean her fantasies could come true?
