The Golden Dragon's Hoard
Astraeus, a baby dragon, escapes from his old coven and stumbles upon a little shop that he spends months stealing from and hiding in to survive. The witch and familiars who live there are... strange. They know he takes from them but don't put up different wards, don't do things that could hurt him. They know that he has a hide out in the aster tree, that he lives close-instead of getting rid of him and forcing him to move, they visit him. Talk to him, leave him things, they're kind. Different. Stranger than any other witch or familiar he's ever met. Stray is not used to things that don't hurt. The gentleness is terrifying. He'd rather stay away from them than learn why they don't have sharp tongues or bruised knuckles. However, on the night of a bad storm, he gets trapped inside of the shop, trapped with kind strangers. After getting caught, he discovers another dragon. He learns that life is not meant to be painful. He learns that he can be loved. He's allowed to want things with them. To eat, to not fear the cold, to live instead of survive. Everything changes and Stray is determined to make them his hoard, to make it complete.Complete
Primed For Sin
Book 2 of the 'Love Unknown' series ____________________________ I look down at him, his eyes begging for the pleasure I had been denying him. In the corner of my eye, I notice his camera still sitting on the table. I smirk and walk over to it, pushing the record button. He looks at me with confusion laced all throughout his features, as I walk back to him his eyes follow me, study me. I run my index finger along his bottom lip as the very unholy things in my mind, break free. "Want to make a movie?" ☯︎☯︎☯︎ Fragile. That's one of the hundreds of thousands of words to describe Hazel Cora Grey. A girl who doesn't know who she is. The one thing that took her mind off of her Eating Disorder had shriveled into nothing and now? She tries her hardest to act like she's fine, like she isn't hurting inside because if anyone knew, questions would be asked. Questions she didn't want to answer. Some would say she's the type of girl to look into a blazing fire, and smile. Fragile. Not like a small, futile flower, but like a ticking bomb waiting for her time to leave her mark. Innocence. A boy who's been trained to think only about his future and career. Taught to never live in the moment for if he got too caught up with it, everything he's ever done and worked for, would have been for nothing. Micah Eugene Bennet had spent his entire life trying to live up to his father's expectations to no avail and well, one person can only take so much pressure and stress before they eventually give up. Or in this case, give in. Innocent. From his rounded glasses, to his hundreds of textbooks, to his untainted mind, the boy was innocent from the inside out. A romance in which two childhood lovers, separated early, find each other once again but this time, things have changed. ☯︎☯︎☯︎ Ratings: #1 showerthoughts - 8|12|2023 #1 secretdating -8|23|2023 #3 youngromance - 9|24|23 #4 teacherspet - 10|05|23 #2 university - 10|09|23 #1 college - 10Complete
