"We can have sex if that's the case"
"No, no -that's not... No." My boyfriend bantered, but I saw the glint in his eyes, the subtle shift from one leg to the other. He was already imagining it. Fucking his girlfriend. The girlfriend who loved him. Too much. Way too much.
***
Annelise Carter has spent her whole life trying to be perfect.
The perfect daughter. Perfect student. Perfect victim.
Trapped in an engagement to a monster and haunted by trauma that bleeds across alternate realities, she's made herself smaller and quieter with each passing day. In a world of classical music and crushing expectations, some cages are lined with velvet-and some predators wear the faces of saviors.
But when a mysterious stranger emerges from the shadows, he offers her something she's never had:
A choice.
Stop running. Stop hiding. Stop pretending the fire inside her doesn't exist.
Because in a world where monsters rule, sometimes you have to become one to survive.

"Love in Chaos"
Some stories don't begin with love-they begin with ruin. A shattered boy who learned to survive by being pretty. A girl they all overlooked... except the one who needed her most. And the man waiting in the dark, holding the door to freedom... or something far more dangerous. This isn't a fairytale. This is a reckoning. In a place where silence was holy, he learned to flirt his way out of pain and bleed glitter to survive. But when his dove came-curious, full of softness and strength-he tasted something like hope. Freedom would always wear her face. But what happens after the break? When obsession masquerades as devotion? When pretty things turn sharp? Because he knows his love is a little too Crazy, a little too wild, too consuming. And maybe she was never meant for the kind of craving that lives in his shadow. And yet... he can't let go. Not of her. Not of the man who sees his darkest corners and doesn't flinch. Three lives. Tangled pasts. One story drenched in trauma, obsession, and a love that might just burn everything down to be born.

They're not supposed to be in this world. They don't exist here. They're not supposed to be after her. Clara is like all of us, or at least some of us. Blushing over hot celebrities, hiding away in books and fan fiction, living in her head. Making up fantasies to hide from reality. Until four hot, morally grey men, who only exist in fiction find themselves on a mission from the dark lord. To find and capture the last remaining witch/wizard that exists in our world. They infiltrate her school, her life, and whisk her away to Hogwarts where she has to walk a balanced line between her new dorm roomies and their families. While this is all happening she tries to find a way back home because this is not one of her fluffy fairy tales with a knight in shining armor. This is a dark, twisted tale with four dangerous boys that are all after her and will stop at nothing to keep her. "You are spectacularly ours." Too bad it wasn't us, but we can read about it. Found family; morally grey love interests; why choose; Draco Malfoy; Theodore (Theo) Nott; Mattheo Riddle; Tom Riddle Warnings: alcohol, kidnapping, spicyish scenes (nothing more than kissing...probably); some of the spells might not be correct so pls no hate If you click on my Spotify account there's a playlist made especially for this story so I would recommend listening to it while reading <3 Enjoy!

Sin Fantasy | **Jikook**
"I know it's wrong-to desire what isn't mine, to crave what belongs to another. But I do. I always have. God may call it a sin, but I have long stopped seeking salvation. In this life, there is no second chance, no rebirth-only now, only this. If love must be selfish, then let me be the sinner. My love is enough for both of us... even if I have to take you by force."** **Author's Note:** Dear readers Welcome to Sin Fantasy. This is not a typical love story. It is a tale of obsession, forbidden desires, and a love that defies morality. This story contains dark themes, psychological turmoil, possessive love, and morally gray characters. If you are looking for a soft, wholesome romance, this may not be for you. But if you crave a story where love turns into sin, where passion borders on madness, and where the line between right and wrong blurs-then step into Jungkook's world. Read at your own risk. Once you enter, there's no turning back.
The Bright Room | 18+
She came home for a weekend. She never quite made it back. Samantha is a habitual overachiever-brilliant, driven, and running on empty. A visit to her old best friend was supposed to be a reset. Instead, one night tears her life apart and leaves her one breath from becoming something she doesn't even believe in. The man who saves her has his own methods, a cure much worse than the disease. Cleansed with light, stripped of everything, Sam loses herself layer by agonizing layer, and wakes up in the Bright Room as a mystery: to her captor, and to herself. The only thing she's sure she's not is a victim. But reclaiming her life means navigating impossible terrain: a captor whose ruthless competence is matched only by how broken he is; a debt to him she can't balance against the trauma he caused; and a thing waking inside her that may be more dangerous than the infection itself. What develops between them is Beauty and the Beast, followed to its natural conclusion: two beasts, containing each other. For you if you love: women who can turn intelligence, trauma, and weakness into a weapon; moral ambiguity with no safe exits; psychological horror that earns its weight; dark romance that takes the darkness seriously; slow burn... in every sense of the word. Not for you if: you need your protagonists sympathetic, your villains clear, or your darkness decorative. This story does not look away when bad things happen.

Forced Love - 2 (A dark romance tale)
This is a dark romance love-hate story of a rich handsome king who falls in love with a beautiful young farm girl. This wealthy landlord is cruel and heartless. He gets unhealthily obsessed with her due to her beauty. She gets forced to live with him, marry him, do sexual acts for him and be his queen soon. Will she ever change him to a nice man? Will she ever get away from her miserable life? This is the continuation of a book named 'Forced Love', written by heathluvsyou . She is such a talented author and her story is written with such accuracy you believe at times you traveled back in time. Sadly, her story stopped mid way through and she haven't updated in a while. I hope with my heart that she is okay. So, i'm going to try to recreate her writing style and give a ending to her story. I will be adding more chapters as much as I could. I'm not as good as our initial author but will try my best. I love you heathluvsyou. For my shortcut buddies - It is possible to tag along with part 2 without reading the first book. But, I wouldn't recommend that since I bet you don't want to miss out on one of the best books ever. Search up 'Forced love' written by heathluvsyou. It would be worth your time I promise :) Best ranking - 39 in 'dark' on June 9th 2021. Wrote in 2021. 2022 me- 😬 Not bad. Trying to appreciate my dedication and efforts 🤦♀️ 2025 nov- I wrote this when I was a teenager. Idk what I was on. I don't condone this nor should anyone learn from this. Sorry guys :(Complete
