Against L.A.'s glitzy backdrop, Claude must navigate desire and confront the dark precipice of Aurelia's world. As his art gains prominence, he's faced with a choice: indulge in the promises of wealth and fame or resist the shadowy forces at play. 'California Crimson Red' weaves themes of power, love, and greatness into a gripping tale of moral reckoning. Will Claude succumb to temptation, or will he resist at the risk of losing it all?

She is Fatal to Death (Standalone Story) by writeraliciagonzalez

She's dead by the third chapter. Okay, it's a bit more complicated than that. Okay, it's A LOT more complicated than that. Renata wants nothing more than to pay her bills through her mildly boring office job and figure out whether she is still in love with her best friend. The latter half of that desire is just a sneak peak into her messy life-and it's only getting messier. Considering the paranormal world she is about to dive head first into, she will come to realize that figuring out her heart may just be the easiest part of this journey. Well, the endless supply of supernatural hotness in this story may beg to differ-but that's besides the point. Either way, it's gonna be a killer time ;) EXCERPT Chicken tacos it is. Right as Renata grabbed the ingredients, she turned to put them next to the stove, where a clean, plastic cutting board awaited. But as she moved, she was confronted by a stranger, an intruder, standing mere inches from her. Before she could scream, he was on her, slamming her against the fridge. Her back flashed with sharp pain. Her eyes pricked with fear as she drank in his uncovered face. Deeply tanned skin. Ruby red eyes-ruby red eyes? Thick, slashing eyebrows. Flat, broad nose. Buzzcut. Handsome. That was as far as she would go in complimenting him considering this guy held a knife to her throat. When he spoke, his voice came out like thunder. It held a thousand threats and a thousand secrets. It held promise of pain if provoked. "If you scream," he warned, mouth pulled in a slight snarl, "this ends quickly." She didn't dare nod against the blade. He noticed and amusement lit up for just a second in those devilish eyes. Oh, whoever the fuck this was, she already hated him. Considering her predicament, panic was the most prominent emotion coursing through her at the moment. "Good." He removed his hand "Now you're going to answer my questions." °°MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT OF ALL KINDS, AND I MEAN ALL KINDS°

Given his status, and the political power his family wields, Aurelia knows she will be executed without a trial. When all hope seems lost, the Assassin's Guild of Glascoast steps in and offers her a rare opportunity: if she succeeds in assassinating seven senators in seven days, she will be permitted to join their ranks, and her murder will be written off as Guild business. As Aurelia struggles to complete the task set before her, she discovers that there is much more to this challenge than meets the eye. There are dark currents swirling through Glascoast, and somehow, she has stumbled into the heart of them. Hemmed in on all sides, a choice looms before her. Its consequences will ripple through her city, and have the potential to save or destroy her world. 1st place winner in The Blossom Awards, 2023 1st place winner in The Gemini Awards, 2023 1st place winner in the Tricolor Triennial Awards, 2023 *Contains graphic scenes of gore, violence, and sexuality* Cover by @annamitamuscaria

Dear Blood by Yeopink
8 parts Complete Mature
Dear Blood, Oh, blood, my love, a paradox you are, A symbol of life, a tragic scar. You flow and ebb, a constant dance, A whispered promise, a second chance. I see your beauty in the sunset's glow, A canvas painted, where passions flow. You stain the earth, a fertile mark, The lifeblood surging, leaving its stark. You whisper tales of battles won, Of ancient wounds, beneath the sun. Of hearts that break, and tears that fall, The poignant echo of a lover's call. In every beat, a silent plea, A symphony of life, for you and me. I crave your touch, a feverish need, The warmth that flows, a whispered seed. My love for you, a crimson stain, A tapestry of passion, etched in pain. For in your depths, I find my soul, A love so fierce, it takes control. So let the crimson tide flow free, A testament to your love for me. For in your veins, my heart resides, A love eternal, where passion abides. Love, Natty. _______________________________ Inspired by Liver leaf ⚠️Warning ⚠️ * This Story contains disturbing content* Do not read if sensitive Published April 2nd 2022 Republished: June 4th 2024
