This 1-part story is dedicated to @_nymphomaniac for inspiring me with her absolutely beautiful story, which moved me to tears. It is my submission for the 'Untouched' writing contest.
"Ariel," he mumbled...tossing and turning in his sleep. "Ariel..."
Ares jolted awake from his restless slumber, from his tossing and turning and thrashing, his entire body drenched, covered in a thin layer of sweat. His lip trembled as the images from his dream crashed into the forefront of his memory like a tidal wave, and he groaned as he tried to chase the images of him making sweet to Ariel, but if anything they only got more persistent, the focus sharpening in his foggy sleep-deprived mind and ridding him of the little piece he had.

"Well, what do we have 'ere?" A hoarse voice stated above me, making my eyes glaze upward in the direction of the culprit, only to freeze at the icy, crystallized irises of the owner. There, above me, was the man I saved, looking insanely at me with crazed eyes and a mocking tone. His hair was stuck on his forehead and the smudged eyeliner created a trace of dark lining on his face, making him look hauntingly. The man gazed at my form in amazement and wonder before they captured mine again, sending an icy cold sensation coursing through my vein, making me shiver. He was frightening and breathtaking at the same time. "A mermaid, aye?" he questioned as his gaze trailed down the length of my body. Grabbing my arms with one hand, he caressed my face gently, his thumb grazing my parted lips before they went below my hair twirling a single piece. I struggled from underneath him when he let the hair graze my breast underneath my blackened hair. Grinning at me madly, my eyes narrowed distastefully as his hand touched my crimson scales, stroking the tail almost lovingly. "Is this how you repay your saviour, pirate?"Complete

Stephen has been through hell and back and is desperately trying to gain his bearings, but it seems like life doesn't give a fuck until... she walk in... wait... no...SLAMMED in.Complete

Fingers stained black
Many forget that the goddess of love was born from the raging sea, but she would do anything to protect her daughter. Adora was Aphrodite's last daughter. Her mother kept her hidden. But, her mother isn't the only one who can keep a secret, especially in a world where your role in society is everything. For there was a prophecy long before she was born: 'Aphrodite's last child would be the one to take the throne, Her paternity unknown. They would carve her face and never forget, for she would be the most beautiful that they had met Cursed for the same fate as her mother Forced to leave her love for another The only way she shall break this curse is if she defeats the first' "Looks like the princess doesn't need saving after all." He says, quietly enough that no one else would hear, as he draws his hand away from my arm. I glare back at him. "Maybe she never did," I walk away, not sparing a single glance back, no matter how much my body was begging me to. I fuss over my hair, pouting as I run my fingers through it to put it back into place. *A warning note* I am not an expert on Greek Mythology, but it interests me greatly. Please excuse any inaccuracies in the book, but if there are any please do message or comment it and I will see if I can change it without making such a huge difference to the plot. Also, my main character is autistic and the experience will be different for everyone. I have tried my hardest to put down on paper how I feel and how I believe others see me. So, please be respectful about the decisions my characters make as I have chosen to give them many different types of neurodivergent brains. I have tried my best to represent these in the most accurate light whilst not romanticising them.Complete
FATED TO LOVE {STORY OF US}
Alexander was the type of guy that every girl wanted. He was tall, dark, and handsome, with piercing green eyes that could make any girl swoon. He had a confident, charismatic air about him that drew people in. And yet, beneath his charming exterior, there was a dark side. Alexander had a quick temper, and he could fly off the handle at the slightest provocation. He also had a reputation as a ladies' man, and his conquests were legendary. But despite all the women he had been with, he had never once fallen in love. Ariel was the polar opposite of Alexander. She was strong-willed and independent, and she was not afraid to speak her mind. She had a sharp tongue and a quick wit, and she wasn't afraid to use them to put anyone in their place. She had no patience for games or nonsense, and she didn't suffer fools gladly. But despite her tough exterior, she had a soft heart and a deep well of compassion. She just didn't show it often. So when fate brought Alexander and Ariel together, it was like a match made in hell. When Alexander realized that he was the one who had been causing all the trouble, he was devastated. He had been so caught up in his own pride and ego that he hadn't seen how he had been hurting Ariel. And now that he knew, he wanted to do anything to make it right. But how could he make up for all the pain he had caused? And what if it was too late? He was terrified that he had already lost Ariel forever. But he knew he had to try, no matter the cost. He would do anything to earn her forgiveness. NOTICE : IT'S A NIGERIA STORY FIRST TIME WRITING 😁Complete

"Y-you," she stuttered, staring at the handsome man sitting on the sleek black throne, "you're..." He rolled his eyes, waving his hand impatiently and said, "Hades. Come on, say it with me. Ha-des." "Hades," Ariel breathed out, still not believing the sight before her. Every picture she had seen of the gods had not depicted Hades' beauty. The god sitting before her was not a crusty old man with a white beard; no, he was a Calvin Klein model. "Yes," Hades clasped his hands together and grimaced, "the God of Death and riches; that's me." Ariel nodded, still refusing to believe but knowing she had to and Hades' grimace turned even bitter, "And you, darling, will be staying with me for quite some time." ~*~ Cover: _nymphomaniac Published: 8/6/14Complete
