Not all who die go to heaven. And of those who do, fewer become angels. They are known as The Transcendents.
For thousands of years Angels and Demons have fought over mortal souls to be claimed for Heaven or Hell. But when a Transcendent Angel, Helen, finds herself in a perilous situation, she is saved not by her kin, but by the Devil's enigmatic son, Nikola, who seems most captivated by her.
He proposes an alliance between them; his help in exchange for hers. But with every bargain they make, their bond grows ever stronger in ways neither had anticipated, blurring the lines between loyalty and desire. Yet the Prince of Hell plays a dangerous game, one where trust balances upon the edge of a blade and every choice could tip the scales between love and eternal damnation.
My entry for ONC 2025
Based on Prompt #2: "To be in love with a demon was the last thing on your wishlist"

Devils Angel: A Dark Paranormal Romance
Flower Serie: 1 "Please please please, let me come" I begged Silas who kept eating me. Noah was fucking Max next to me who was a moaning mess next to me. Max opens his clouded eyes, looking at me, or more precisely at my breast hungrily. My attention was back to Silas when he bit my clit a little to hard, but soothed it right ever by liking it a few times, overstimulating it more than it already was. "5 more minutes and then you can come. Not before that". I don't know if I can survive 5 more minutes of this hot torture. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ⚠️⚠️18+⚠️⚠️ This story is for 18+ only but I'm sure most of you who will read this book will be under 18.

I Accidentally Summoned a Demon
"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band.

A Flame Upon Still Water
She's an angel. He's a demon. What could go wrong? Sunny, studious, and chatty to a fault, Siah Umbrath can't wait to enroll at St Sybil's University, the prestigious institution of higher learning in Chthonia. Most angels would balk at setting foot deep into demonic territory-not Siah. When the Angelic Council appoints her father as ambassador to the demonic kingdom, Siah sees it as a thrilling opportunity. Her parents, however, view things differently, with her father issuing a warning not to get involved with the male students. It's an easy request, one Siah feels she'll be able to uphold until she meets a grumpy blue demon on her first day. Kion Fellrose looks tough on the outside-tall, with a stern, unyielding expression, and a dozen boxing titles under his (literal) belt. But his gruff exterior hides wounds few know about, very little understand, and no one new will ever discover. Uninterested in most things life has to offer, all he wants to do is graduate and move as far away as possible. Everything is going according to plan until his father, the deputy mayor of Cinderforge, assigns him to keep an eye on the new angelic ambassador's daughter. Initially annoyed, Kion finds himself being pulled into Siah's orbit like a moth to a flame. The earth may not shatter when an angel falls in love with a demon -- they might save it instead.Complete
