Evil lives in the back woods and swamps of the Deep South. From the dark corner of a decadent plantation mansion to the soggy decay of a one-room swamp shack, it breeds and festers, grows and blooms. It lies in the recesses of small town ignorance and poverty.

Waiting. Waiting. Always waiting. Watching patiently like a hidden viper coiled and ready to strike! And when it does, its venomous fangs show no mercy and suffer no remorse.

Who will be Evil's next victim?

To Keep You by TheChristianPrincess

Love is a treacherous snare, luring you in with its sweet, intoxicating allure. Like a mosquito helpless against the pull of blood, you're drawn to its addictive taste. It beckons you with the irresistible force of honey to a bear, slowly draining your soul of its vitality like a bat feasting on blood. And then, its venom strikes, killing you with the deadly precision of a snake's bite. But love has set its sights on me, singling me out like a lone star in the midnight sky. Yet, I have a warning for it: I won't be toyed with or ensnared again. Love may be a game for the naive and the innocent, but I'm neither fool nor child. I'm an Oleander, guarding my heart with deadly precision. Dare to come close, and I'll strike with a poisonous kiss, protecting myself from love's toxic grasp. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Second Book In 'To Love A Godly Man ' series.

Addicted by BD_Connoll

"You have no idea how badly I want to make love to you," he responds with a shake of his head. "I love you so much," he continues and my heart melts. "I love you," I whisper back. "Okay, I'm going to make love to you now, Angel. It will hurt a little, so let me know if it hurts too much," he says and leans down to kiss me. "I'll be gentle," he tells me. Keeping his eyes locked on mine he shifts his hips forward slightly and enters inside of me. My mouth widens as he enters, and I feel a slight pinch. He was right, it does hurt, but it's not terrible. "Christ! You're the sun!" he calls out. I watch his face crumble. He buries his face in my neck and then he's above me again, his hands on my cheeks again. ... For 20 year old Alison Scott, love was never something she deemed herself worthy of.
