Turning, I try to hide the growing self-disgust. What am I thinking, falling in love with her? I have a husband and last time, when Catherine-. Reaching my room, I push my thoughts away. I already know I am sinful. There is no need to constantly remind myself of it. Falling on my bed, I open my book. It is considered improper for a lady to read, to fill her head with words and ideas. It is said to turn her to sin.
Hi! Just love writing stories, thought I'd share one with the world. This is a sapphic romance set in the late 1700s, between chambermaid and the lady of the house. I'd love feedback and constructive criticism. Thanks!
Note: Spacing got a bit messed up as well, sorry.

Grimm (DISCONTINUED)
DISCONTINUED Basically just a fairytale retelling of Snow White, Rose Red, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and some other stories. I might mix in some folklore/mythology characters as well, but idk. Also there isn't much romance. And Prince Charming is the villain. I'm in the midst of writing new chapters, so the updates will be slow. Tw: forced marriage, abuse (spousal), rape, rebellion, death, homophobia, misogyny, and please tell me if missed anything. These are all kinda important to the plot so if you're sensitive to them just don't read it.Complete
My New Muse (XXX) (Completed)
This book is rated R. Please proceed with caution. This is the more raunchy version of the book. *** We stand in silence, as I sip my water, and he watches me do it. Finally, he breaks the silence. "I'm sorry if I... offended you by sleeping in your bed last night. This morning. Whatever." "It's fine. You didn't do anything." He nods, his eyes far away, as if thinking of how to word his views. "I didn't do anything... but I wanted to. I wanted to so badly." I nearly choke on my water. I don't know what's worse; his confession, or how nonchalantly he says it, as if he's reading the weather. "Come again?" I say, thinking that I must have heard him wrong. He shrugs. "I want to f*ck you." Again, he is as nonchalant as ever. I just stare stupidly, my mouth agape. He closes my mouth, grinning at me, wicked intentions in his eyes. Not so nonchalant anymore, I see. "Um, I-I...I don't..." I stop talking, realising what a total idiot I sound like, while his grin broadens. In that second, I am grateful for my dark skin, as he can't see me blushing. "Tongue-tied?" My cheeks get hotter. "Shut the f*ck up." He actually laughs. "Don't worry, honey," he says, his hot breath brushing against my face, shocking me. When did he get this close? "One day," he whispers, now in my ear,"I will f*ck you." I realise that my eyes are closed and I open them. He's gone. I stand there frozen, in total shock. What the actual f*ck just happened? *** When all you know is disappointment, you become your own best friend. You isolate yourself from everyone else. You need no one; love is a weakness. That's the case with me. Then, Prince Charming rides in and changes everything. Except, he isn't a prince. He is light, but he holds darkness; he is joy, but he knows pain; he is beauty, but within him is imperfection and ugliness. He is just like me, but he is nothing like me.Complete

On Her Knees [UNFINISHED]
[THIS STORY IS INCOMPLETE AND IS UNLIKELY TO BE UPDATED] "I will never fucking kneel for you," I hiss at her as she smirks at me from her obnoxiously large bed. Her brow raises and I can see through her eyes that she's thinking about a lot more than she's saying. She bites her lip as her eyes look up and down, fixing on the low neckline of my dress she forced me to wear that pushes up most of my cleavage. "We'll see about that," she innocently says back with a tender smile, getting up from her bed to walk over to me. Whenever she walks her hips sway so much. It's enchanting but I need to resist her advances. The last person that was caught with her was dead a few minutes later and I don't want that fate. Her hands slam against the wall either side of me in her attempt to be intimidating but I quickly flip her round so that her back is against the wall and her arms are pinned above her head. She gasps and begins to struggle against my hold, determined not to let me dominate her. She's used to bossing people around but I want to give her a taste of her own medicine. "Not used to submitting to someone else, are you, Princess?" I whisper in her ear, holding her still beneath me. "I can change that. I'll have you kneeling for me within the minute." "You wouldn't dare," she spits back. "Would you like to bet on that?" **** Alruna would prefer to stay in her village but her wishes are left unanswered as she's forced into the castle to become an obedient servant but her spirit isn't so easily broken. Especially not by a spoilt and demanding princess that understands nothing beyond her palace's walls.
The Duchesses
Aurora opens her eyes only to feel the agonising pain in her body. That is to be expected when there has been an accident. It's excruciatingly painful. Aurora groans in pain and pulls off the blanket, taking in her surroundings. It is more appropriate for a hospital interior design to look to the mediaeval era. Not shabby, but more on the extravagant side. The nurses' attire, on the other hand, appears odd. Someone said out of nowhere, "Her Grace, please wake up! Call the doctor right away!" Aurora approaches the mirror and looks at the woman with deep red eyes in it. The woman had blonde hair that, while a little messy, flowed perfectly over her shoulder. Her fair complexion lends her an ethereal appearance. Not to mention that her outfits make her look like a noblewoman from a historical series. She pinches herself, only to realise that the blonde woman staring at her is herself. A thought struck her mind, as she utters her first statement in this world, "Fuck me". Medea has finished her work, but she is still unsure how to fix all of the messes. She hasn't been herself in a long time, and it's bothering her. The throne seems so far away, and the weight of the burden grows heavier with each passing day. A letter from the Imperial Palace has arrived, instructing the Duchess to look after the House of Smith's Duchess of Light, Natalie Wilson Smith. As an evil scheme was about to unfold, she smiled wickedly. 'This is my new card.' p/s: I can't find the original owner of the photo of the cover, if you know or you are the owner of the cover.

The Venantium Auallonia Trilogy: Summer Tide
This is a story I wrote a long time ago. I was about 12 and obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer when I started writing it. I mainly wrote it for myself as a method of self-therapy, even self-published it for a time, but It never got anywhere. Im hoping maybe putting it on a site like this will give it some recognition. If you've liked what you read here, there is a second book titled Midsummer Sky that you can read on here as well. Commentary of all forms and rating is welcome. Here's the description: "But all the story of the night told over, And all their minds transfigur'd so together, More witnesseth than fancy's images, And grows to something of greater constancy; But, howsoever, strange and admirable." ˗˗William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream In May of 1827, Emery Winchester, a young man who like his uncle was a starving artist living off the streets of downtown London. Until the night he was murdered by a beautiful woman that was less than human, awakening as an immortal, and a vampire. From this, he swore off love for eternity. Now almost 200 years later, in quaint little Cape Cod, fate gives him an cruel deal. Dawn Waters, another anti-love supporter because of abuse, neglect, and sexual assault, finds herself falling in love with the strange newcomer. There's something off about him that sends Dawn into a roller coaster of life changing events...Complete![HENRIETTA: PRAELUDIUM [TO BE EDITED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/295437638-256-k584448.jpg)
