Lark felt his hands draw away the straps of her nightgown, and the soft cloth fell to the floor. She shivered in the cold of the room. Prince Aspen's eyes were a beautiful green, brightened by alcohol. His hands were tight as he led her to the bed. He had a tiny scar by his lip, close to the corner of his mouth. It was easy for her to focus on the thin, silvery line of skin, easier to let her mind cling to the mark than on anything around her or on Prince Aspen himself. He was strong. She wondered how his mistress felt about him spending the night with his wife.

She's Mine by lvndr-

His eyes were red-rimmed, his hair tousled like he had been running his hand through it over and over again. His golden eyes looked so broken, so deeply sad that my heart clenched until I couldn't breathe. "What happened?" My voice came out as a whisper, as I watched his eyes began to fill again, shining with unshed tears and I felt my eyes begin to prick. Without a word, he leaned forward, his arms wrapping around my waist as he buried his face into the crook of my neck. I felt him take in a shuddering breath and my arms instantly enveloped him, my hand running through his hair and massaging his head, whilst my other hand rubbed circles on his back, trying to comfort him. My own head was resting on his shoulders, moving with the trembles of breathing; his arms squeezing tighter. "I don't want to be alone tonight," he said softly, newly formed tears gathering in my eyes, as I watched him stare at our conjoined hands. "Stay with me," I said back and instinctively wrapped my arms around him when I didn't fight that pull to be close to him. His arms did the same and we slowly fell back into the plush mattress and silky sheets. Most Impressive Ranking - #1 in Fae #5 in Powers

Blood and Curse by writing_scoups

What if you woke up one day in a world unlike anything you've known-where people have long ears, wield magic, and technology is nothing but a myth? In Blood and Curse, Levin finds herself in the body of a mysterious girl, in a land bound by ancient secrets and a curse she don't understand. As she uncover the truth about her past, one question haunts her: does she really want to go back to her old life? Something-or someone-is keeping her here. But to find answers, she must break the curse... if it doesn't break her first. -- "You know," he murmured, his voice dropping, "sometimes I feel like tearing you into uncountable pieces... and keeping each one safe." Levin stared at him, her breath catching. "I'm so sorry," she said, her tone sharp, "but this little fantasy of yours? It's never going to happen." Rane raised an eyebrow, his lips curving into an amused smirk. "Is that so?" He stepped even closer, his voice low. "Then let's keep it one piece." -- "Loving you is the only thing I live for and I regret the most" -- "I wanted to live" -- "I always feel like someone's watching me" -- "She's longing for a body in blood"

EDWINA (Sample) by Angelique_Esmeralda

A story from my hand-written sequel "Avalon" When the condemned life of a Virgin Slave is left at the mercy of a Prince, her mortal enemy, what happens?... His groin responded, making a bulge in his wet pants, she killed him the more and made his ache for her heighten by repeatedly rubbing her thigh against it. He groaned and shuddered for she wouldn't stop neither would she let his lips go for a moment. In their fierce battle of kissing, one of the straps of her gown came loose and fell off her shoulder, slipping down her upper arm. Kissing her the more, his hand found her firm exposed breast first before he tore his mouth from hers and tilted her head backward while he kissed down her neck to her chest, aiming for one goal. He suddenly seized the nipple in his mouth and she let out a prolonged moan as he sucked her so hard just as he had made her like it. He licked around the shrunk areola and pulled her nipple into his mouth again while both his hands gripped her buttocks and his hand slid into her short undergarment while one of his fingers slid into her opening from behind, making her quiver and hold onto him for dear life. She pressed her breasts closer into his face as if she just couldn't get enough of his demanding mouth and ushered him to take her whole. 4/3/16 ©All Rights Reserved.

Blended Enemies: A Royal Arrangement by Authorgoddess_

Princess Loretta of Agarta, a headstrong minx lycan-unable to shift due to her gender-finds herself bound by a reluctant treaty to Prince Neltavio of Ustoria, a vampire, in a desperate attempt to quell a centuries-old war between their people. Neltavio, a prince cloaked in an unnerving blend of power and allure, views her as little more than a defiant pawn in a political game. Their forced proximity within the shadowed halls of Ustoria ignites a volatile dance of animosity, their every interaction a clash of wills. Loretta's fiery spirit challenges Nel's controlled demeanor, cracking his icy facade and revealing a dangerous undercurrent of attraction. As their kingdoms inch toward an uneasy peace, the resurgence of the Valmorin, an ancient evil, threatens to shatter everything. Now, bound by a shared enemy, Loretta and Neltavio must navigate a treacherous path of forbidden desires and forced alliances, where trust is a fragile commodity, and survival hinges on their ability to conquer not only their enemies, but the treacherous terrain of their own hearts.

Purity in the Stars *Maleficent: Mistress of Evil- Udo Love Story* by OfficialAkahana

*FROM MY OLD ACCOUNT* It started the day the sky was painted with red. Whether it was from that cursed red iron, or the blood of falling fey, Yuna did not know. What she did know, however, was that the tumbling stone and wood from the buildings surrounding her were mere seconds away from crushing her. Not a fate she had imagined for herself, and she certainly never imagined a man with hair and wings like snow to swoop in and rescue her. The events of that fateful day of war and marriage catapult Yuna into a world so unlike her own; a world of the Moors, a world of becoming Queen Aurora's right hand woman, and a world where a certain Tundra Fae and herself bridge the gap between their kinds. Just what had Yuna gotten herself into? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is truly by the most divine blessing," Udo's voice was soft, his slender fingers gently cradling Yuna's face. The Tundra Fae's eyes glistened with unshed tears as he stared into Yuna's dark eyes, smiling warmly at her. Yuna's mouth was agape as she stared up at the man, who stared down at her like she were some precious jewel, or a star shining in a dark night sky. A warmth spread throughout her chest, and she felt stray tears begin to streak down her cheeks. She did not trust her voice to speak. Udo chuckled, brushing them away with his thumbs. He placed his forehead onto Yuna's, conscious of his long white horns, and closed his eyes. "It is truly by the most divine blessing, that our of all the stars and cosmos, the fates led me to you."

Royal Temptation by LechnaBaram

My heart skipped a beat when I saw fury swimming in his green eyes. He slammed the door and the banging sound echoed throughout the whole room. My back was pressed against the wall. Fear was building up inside of me. I couldn't help but blame myself for this reaction that I was getting from him. I wanted to provoke him. Fury was not the reaction that I was hoping to get. His eyes never left mine. I took a deep breath. I didn't want him to know that I was getting scared. This was not me. Since when have I become someone who would coward away from a fight? I pushed my crown up my head? I fixed it, making sure that it was straight on my head. I moved away from the wall then stood my ground. His jaws clenched as he turned his body entirely towards me. "Did you just dare to embarrass me?" Orion asked me as a humourless chuckle escaped his lips. My hands were on my sides as I held my dress and started playing with the satin fabric to calm my nerves. I was conflicted on how I was going to react to his words. "You call it embarrassment, I call it opinion" I responded calmly. The muscle on his jaw ticked. In a blink of an eye, he was standing in front of me. If he didn't have such a repulsive character, I would have most probably fallen for his looks. The next thing that happened, broke my trail of thoughts. I was pushed against the wall with such a violence that a gasp escaped my lips. His hand held my jaw, pushing my face upwards so that I was forced to stare at him. His breath was fanning all over my face. No one touches me without my permission.

The Whispers of Petals by KaraCarreira

Since Esmera was abandoned on a stranger's doorstep as a baby, the only person who has looked out for her is herself. Until a lark starts visiting her, leaving behind exotic flowers and iridescent pebbles that the internet doesn't recognise. Esmera can't believe her eyes when she recognises the lark in a painting in a museum. Her investigation takes her to the home of the museum owner, Tauram - a man who is more than he seems. When a magical force summons Esmera and Tauram to Milatanur, the hidden kingdom that is their home, they have no choice but to answer the call. Soon, it is not their decades-long betrothal that binds them but feelings they must ignore for the sakes of their fractured pasts and precarious futures. Around them, nature rebels under the unjust rule of a cruel sorcerer, threatening to engulf Milatanur. The formidable King Ruagu has spies everywhere, and those who aren't on his side turn to it out of fear. Loyalty will rot into betrayal, blood will be paid, and Esmera will be presented with her destiny to wield a weapon of unparalleled power. But only if she can elude her dark past long enough. *** Cover by @-DeeIsDead-
