The Art Of Redemption 

In the heart of Clyde, where the clash of power and passion creates a symphony of intrigue, Kimani and Dallas stand as stark opposites, destined to clash. She's an independent artist with dreams that stretch beyond the canvas, fueling her desire to make it big. He's the unyielding capo of a ruthless gang, his power felt across the city, and his reputation as a formidable art collector known worldwide.

Their worlds collide with an intensity that sets the pages ablaze. A single disagreement ignites a fiery rivalry, leaving both Kimani and Dallas locked in a battle of wills. As they navigate the complexities of power and passion, Dallas's disdain for Kimani's art fans the flames of animosity, and Kimani's defiance only fuels the fire.

Yet beneath the surface, a magnetic pull draws them together, challenging the boundaries of their mutual enmity. As their lives entwine in a dance of conflict and attraction, they find themselves caught in a web of fate that neither can escape. From the pulsating energy of their disagreements to the unspoken desires that simmer beneath.

Darker than Darkness by MNSAVBSM23

An anuseena fanfic.... We're familiar with stories of heroes and villains, where innocence collides with deception, and the stark contrasts between good and evil shine through. Yet, it's often the darker tales of unrelenting malice that go untold... What happens when two of the most vile souls cross paths? Loyalties fracture, boundaries disintegrate, and a seething hatred ignites a firestorm of destruction. She is calculating, a master manipulator who twists minds to her will. He is brutal, a force of annihilation who leaves nothing but ruin in his wake. She is lethal, weaving a web of intrigue, seduction, and deceit. He is merciless, wielding his power with a clenched fist, crushing anyone who dares oppose him. Together, they plunge into a world where morality is irrelevant, and the very concept of villainy becomes unrecognizable. Each believes they are the greater evil, but as their dark alliance deepens, it raises a chilling question: who, in the end, is the true villain? As their fates become increasingly entwined, the line between good and evil fades away, revealing a startling truth: Even Lucifer, in all his glory, can be driven to loneliness.

Heartstrings by bossbitch3000

As two souls together intertwined And as two guarded hearts turned blind, What started off as hate, later served as a bind And now for them, all the stars and moons like fate alined. What ever happens and no matter life's pusillanimity Our heartstrings connect us to infinity ___________________________________________ It was starting to get warm. Still not breaking eye contact, Landon put one hand under my chin and lifted my head up. We were inches apart at this point. Due to our height difference, I stood on my tiptoes, in hopes of reaching his face, and he bent down to reach mine. I could feel his warm minty breath on my lips as he cupped one of my cheeks with his hand, but only after tucking a stray strand of hair behind my ear. Suddenly, Clyde busted the door open causing Landon and I to quickly fall apart. Clyde seemed out of breath and very agitated... #8heartstings (01/30/2020) #9mexican-american (1/9/2021) #9mayhem (04/17/2020)

The deep by DecayingGodess

A young woman, her past shrouded in shadows, teeters on the brink of oblivion, by her own hand. Captivating but challenging, she draws others in with an irresistible pull. Unafraid to unleash her sharp tongue like a deadly blade or use her claws, honed to perfection. She emanates a chilling aura that could freeze one's very soul, her eyes infused with the cunning of a fox. Though she has many twisted secrets and desires, she can not face them alone, in order to rise from the ashes, she must let go of any inhibitions, give herself completely to the temptations, and accept what fate has bestowed upon her. Especially if fate is wrapped up in such a sinful devastatingly gorgeous package. He is a wealthy surgeon concealing a darkness beneath his unearthly beauty. He exudes both rugged strength and gentle kindness, yet what he hides behind that meticulously constructed mask, is the inner demon, a beast that has an insatiable lust for desire and pleasure, and to claim what he perceives to belong to him. He is a downright psychopath underneath his carefully curated facade of caring protector. His protection is obsessive in its truest form, and he must embrace it no matter the cost. It's as if she had been plucked from the depths of hell to test him, unraveling the intricately woven veil he uses to shield himself. And perhaps he is exactly what she needs to bury her tumultuous past, and step in to her own era of psychotic dark goddess energy, even if only for a fleeting moment. Both carry unsettling truths within them and as they are thrust together in unavoidable proximity amidst spicy themes of seduction, their facades will begin to crumble. The outcome hangs precariously between mutual destruction or obliterating anyone who dares come between their enigmatic bond.
