The Dark Rose 🌹 {18+}
[COMPLETED] ೋღ🌹ღೋ He stands roughly a few feet away from me, his body towering over my crouched one. I bring my legs up to my chest, pushing myself further into the wall as he kneels down towards me. He brings his nose to the crook of my neck, my face grimacing as I await for the pain. He breathes in, "hmmm, you smell so delicious." He coos, his breath fanning my neck, causing me to shiver In disgust. If only my brothers were here... "Wheres a delicacy like you been hiding this whole time?" His use of words has me on edge. His implementations imply that he's some sort of cannibal and judging from what he did to that other man I fear I may be right. I refuse to answer him, spitting in his face. My face bounces of the wall, the sting of his slap left behind on my cheek. I shake the pain away, placing a facade up to hide the fear within. You fucking bastard! I narrow my eyes at him, taking note of his features in case I miraculously survive this encounter. His hair is a dark auburn and his eyes that watch me with amusement are a dark blue. His attire was a black suit which seemed out of place considering he was standing in an alleyway. If I manage to escape I want to be confident that'd I'd be able to have this bastard put behind bars. Again if... His eyes shift, my eyes widening as his eyes turn from a dark blue to a pool of black, red veins trailing along from his pupil to the edge of his eyes. His voice is dark as he commands, "Show me that pretty little neck of yours." ೋღ🌹ღೋ ⚠️ Warning!!!

My Fathers Killer
A story in which Don Lucian of the Russian mafia becomes deeply enamoured with the notorious assassin known as 'Whisper' within the criminal underworld. ---------------------------- With eyes the color of fallen autumn leaves, and the confidence of ten kings, she was my world, my life, and my death. In her, I found the spring, summer, autumn, and winter of my soul. I often wondered if I was loving her wrong, maybe I was too obsessive, I thought I might die when she wasn't close enough to me. That's not an exaggeration, I truly thought I was going mentally insane. Her touch was the only thing to calm me. I fully believed that if she were to stab me, I'd be quick to check that she didn't nick herself in the process. I loved her. I cherished her beyond measure, like the stars adore the dark sky and the bees adore the flowers. Even if I had nothing else, as long as I had a piece of her, I would find a way to survive. ---------------------------- "You're such a big man, such a strong man and here you are, on your knees for me. That's a little pathetic, don't you think Lucian?" "You can have me anywhere, any country, any planet, any universe and I will be on my fucking knees for you. I beg for your love, my angel, and I will until the day I die." "Awh" I coo and bend down a little so our faces are just inches away "you will be begging for a very, very long time"![𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃 [The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Fanfic]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/280417283-256-k168430.jpg)

The Crimson Spotlight (Book 1)
Detective Elias Voss never wanted to be center stage-until a killer made him the star of a twisted play. In the rain-drenched shadows of a crumbling city, a young woman's throat is slashed, her sequined dress a glittering shroud, a black rose pinned to her chest like a macabre boutonnière. The note left behind is a taunt, a curtain call addressed to Detective Elias Voss: "The first act begins. Curtains up, Detective." At twenty-four, Elias is a prodigy with a mind sharper than the killer's blade-shy, devastatingly handsome, and more comfortable with corpses than compliments. He's paired with Mara Quinn, a rookie officer whose wit is as quick as her courage, and together they're thrust into a case that's equal parts theater and terror. The crime scene is a stage, the murder a performance, and the killer a director with a penchant for blood and bravado. As Elias and Mara unravel the clues-a glitzy party, a shadowy figure in a hoodie, a trail of crimson-they realize this is no isolated act. It's the opening night of a deadly series, and Elias is the unwilling lead in a script written by a psychopath. With dark humor as their shield and the spotlight burning hotter with every move, they must catch the curtain before it falls-on them. Perfect for fans of twisted mysteries and unlikely heroes, The Crimson Spotlight is the first act in a gripping new series where every clue is a line, every death a scene, and the finale is far from guaranteed.Complete
