Chapter One: The Weight of Two Worlds
The scent of burning sage and leftover Sunday dinner lingered in the air, clinging to the walls of the small apartment like a silent prayer. Naomi sat on the edge of her twin-sized bed, exhaling a slow stream of smoke toward the cracked ceiling. Gospel music hummed faintly from her mother's bedroom-soft enough that she could pretend it wasn't there but loud enough to remind her she was still under God's watchful eye.
She laughed a little to herself. If He was watching, He already knew.
The joint between her fingers burned low, flickering against the dim glow of her anime-filled laptop screen. YOLO, she thought, inhaling deeply. If she was going to stress about midterms, she might as well do it with a buzz.
Naomi had spent her whole life walking the tightrope between expectation and desire. The church girl who knew every scripture, yet found herself craving the weightlessness that came with defying the rules. A free spirit in a world that wanted her bound. She loved her mother, respected her grandmother, and still felt the echoes of every "amen" that had been spoken over her life. But she also loved late-night walks under city lights, the feel of cool air against her skin after a long hit, and the way anime transported her to worlds where the lines between fate and free will blurred.

The King And His Nerd. #1
PROLOGUE A small boy lies curled up in his bed, trying to hide himself. The screams and shouts of his parents echoed throughout the empty, cold house. A small toddler girl, snuggled in his arms, fusses in her sleep. A loud crash, followed by a cry of pain, makes the boy flinch and tear up. He pulls the baby girl close and covers his ears. 'Dad is hurting mom again' The boy cries softly, so as not to be heard, weeping at the unfairness of the world. Hours later, his bedroom door opens, and a soft hand touches his cheek. "Ian, my baby boy, I've got to go for a while, ok?" A woman's voice calls softly. The boy sits up, wiping his tears. "How long will you be gone?" The boy sniffles. "Mom is going to live with Uncle Sam for a while, just so she can make dad's company bigger. Make sure you take good care of Naomi. Don't forget to clean up after yourself, and get good grades in school." The boy's mother ruffles his hair and kisses him on the cheek. "I love you buddy. I'll be back in a few years. I know that sounds like a long time but, I'll be back before you know it. I just have to make dad happy." The boy nods, refusing to cry. 'I have to protect Naomi. I'm alone now.' the boy thinks to himself, determined. His mother stands up and walks away, her feet softly padding down the hallway.Complete
Mastim's Curse
Lilith walked the Earth for the first time in a thousand years. Her long black hair draped thickly over her shoulders. Dark eyes and full lips set off a face unmarred and perfect. Men and women alike turned to watch her pass. So much had changed since her last visit, yet so much remained the same. The tall buildings and speeding automobiles did little to affect basic human nature and desires. She had waited so long for this night. Millions of years have passed since Lilith had left Eden in a desperate flight for freedom. However, her freedom didn't come without a price. God, full of thunder and brimstone, had cursed her for disobeying him so that all her offspring were tainted spirits with darkness in place of souls. They were called demons by most. A name she hated. It's a curse she learned to live with. Though they are creatures of the dark, she loved her children all the same. Still, she yearned for a child equal to herself, perhaps even more than she was. There was a way. God himself had given her the idea, although that was not his intent. He had forbidden Prince Mastema, one of the strongest spirits, from taking her as his wife. She wasn't surprised that the Prince wanted her. Lilith was the original woman, undiminished by the limitations placed on Adam and his mortal descendants. Mastema had taken other wives and the command was weaker on his descendants. With each generation the barrier was weaker. Now it was weak enough for her to overcome, at least for a short time. One night was all she needed, and she had found one of his descendants that sill had the power of the Nephilim in his blood, although most of it lay dormant. Lilith's heart beat with excitement and hope as she walked through the door and into the party celebrating the recent victory of Mr. Tony Mastim. She could feel the power deep inside him. Their child would do amazing things, things unforetold, and unheard off. This is the story of that child.Complete![Waiting On You [18+]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/265187597-256-k687525.jpg)

He asked as he stroked her entrance with his two digits "I-" She breathed out as he took no time inserting his fingers inside of her, curling them just to make her moan for him "What was that?" He smirked, hearing her whimpers as the increasing tempo of the song wasn't helping her heart beat or the pulse inbetween her thighs of how much she hated Theo in the moment, but enjoyed what he could do to her with just two fingers When she didn't answer him, Theo slid his fingers slowly out of her with a pop. She felt his fingers trace over the slit of her entrance, teasing her, already knowing the power he had over her body. She did nothing but accept it, as her body reacted as it usually did Wet and ready, only for him She found herself opening up her legs wider to give him better access to her. Almost as if it were instinct. Theo slid his fingers up and down her slick folds, multiple times - teasing her - knowing this would set her off even further. The anticipation of it all.Complete
The Luminosity of Love
I hold a hand to my face, taking a deep breath. "That's fine, I'll get some later. I just don't understand how you were able to chase away the dark." Y/n turned her gaze to the wall, mumbling something so I couldn't hear. "What'd you say?" I asked. She laughed, shaking her head. "Nothing, just... something stupid." I smile and rub my thumb over her knuckles. "Come on, tell me. I'm not going to judge you." "Promise?" "I promise." She sighs before saying, "Maybe it was the luminosity of love," throwing her head back for dramatic affect. I stifle a laugh and she glares at me. "Hey! You said you wouldn't judge." "No, I'm not judging you! It just sounds funny." She huffs, glaring at the wall. I smile before mumbling, "the luminosity of love, I like it."

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲| 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗰𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗸𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 ❝I need you to stop moving. Each time you move I'll spank you❞ she nodded. Simply just nodded, and relaxed her body. She didn't want to be spanked. I let her go and lifted my right knee closer to her clit, actually pressing it against her this time. Her body let out a small and sharp inhale, making me smile a bit. I'm sure she's so sensitive right now. Her body full of arousal. "You like that? You like feeling my knee against your pussy don't you?" I slowly started to move my knee around to see her reaction, and it was greater than I thought it would be. A small moan fell from her lips, making me smile as I slid my hand underneath her hips, this time encouraging her to move. "Move your hips just like that. I want to feel your pussy against my knee" I whispered to her. I can tell by the way her eyes dimmed that she had never done this before, but she was so ready to that she did exactly as I said. Her breathing got deeper as she began lifting her hips to fully meet the base of my knee, softly grinding herself against me. I hummed as I watched her, watching her literally move her hips to receive her first orgasm. The way her hips moved made my dick throb even harder, I could only imagine what she looked like if she was to ride me. She took her lip between her teeth and almost instantly I wanted to come. I was already straining myself and trying not to, but the sight of her doing that makes me almost fall apart. ˣ An Angel deprived of her sexual innocence, introduced to a new sexual experience that may turn her world upside down.

The Salvatore sister
1864 "Stefan?" I knocked on the door softly "Stefan?" The door opened and Stefan stood there he must've been sleeping because his short brown hair was tousled and the sun from the window across the hall hit his green eyes that which just made them even greener. "What is it Sky?" He asked groggy putting a hand in front of his face to block out the sun. "Um.. father wants to see you down in the study," I said looking up at him we may be twins but Stefan was still about an inch or two taller than me. "Alright thanks, Sky, I'll be down in a minute." He said turning and closing the door. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Present "Stefan, I'm home." I yelled closing the door behind me "Stef, you here?" I yelled walking down the hall I started up the steps taking them three at a time. I walked up some more and into Stefan's room, I found him sitting at his desk writing in his diary. "Stefan?" I said walking up behind him. He looked up at me. "Oh, hey Sky I didn't know you were home." He said looking back down at his desk closing his diary and getting up he walked over to a big cabinet in the corner of his room. He opened it and put the book inside, closing it he walked back over to me. "What do you want?" He asked looking down at me. "I went by the school and I got us enrolled so we're all good," I said going over and sitting down on his bed putting my legs under me. "Thanks, but I told you, you don't have to stay here with me," Stefan said leaning against the door frame. "Stefan I told you I'm staying here with you" I said getting up and walking towards him, "your my twin Stefan honestly I don't know how far you would've gotten without me, and Lexi of course but don't worry I just talked to her and told her that you've been sober since 1912 so we're good," I said looking up at him. ~~~~ There is a second book called The Salvatore Sister Chapter Two.

All In ( Lesbian Story)
This is book 1 of the majors. Please enjoy. Based of my imagination and research when I felt like it lol. Just here: I laughed and licked my lips as she turned her head. She was a cranky ass person when she was tired. Especially after sex. "I'm sorry love," I said as I rubbed her head. "Seriously you need a place we can get to only by boat or plane," she said in her hoarse voice. "Whatever you want Ms. Rose," I mumbled. "Damn Cuz protection at its finest," Heaven said as she picked up the condom off the floor. "Always," I said. "I always knew you had a big dick," Ricki said. I heard Mila groan as she sunk into my body. "It's bigger than you think," she said. I laughed as my cousin stared at us. I bit my lip and winked at them. "Y'all both owe me a grand!" Traci yelled. I laughed. "Rain you playing right? She talking about a strap right?" Ricki said as she sat down in the lazy boy. I shrugged as Mila turned around and laid her back against my chest. "No that nigga got a real dick. I told you I felt something when I was sitting on her lap the other night," Traci said as she sat on the coffee table. "I wanna see it before I give up a grand," Heaven said and sat on Ricki's lap. I swear they been fucking around since we were little. It didn't bother me cause they weren't blood related. "No y'all nasty ass, pervert dumbasses," I said. "Come on Rain we family. We use to take baths together," Ricki said. "Yeah when we were like toddlers," I said as Mila ass moved against me. Her body heat was serious. She was starting to make my shit grow. She need to move before I fuck her up again. "Stop moving Ms. Rose," I said lowly. "Stop getting hard. You all in my ass," she mumbled. I laughed and kissed her neck and she let out a small moan. "Shit that was sexy," Traci said.Complete
Whispering pines
Aurora sat in the passenger seat, her hands folded tightly in her lap. Her long, black dreadlocks cascaded down her back, swaying slightly with each bump in the road. Her chocolate skin glistened faintly under the dim light of the car, but she didn't notice. The world outside the window passed by in muted shades of gray and green, the trees thick with mist, the road winding up a steep hill that seemed to stretch on forever. Her mom was talking again, her voice upbeat and false. "This is for the best, baby. I know you don't think so now, but this place will help you heal. You're going to meet people who can understand what you've been through. You just need to open up. To let go of the past." Aurora clenched her jaw, feeling the heat rise in her chest. Her ex's house had been reduced to ash and rubble, the flames of her anger licking the air like something she couldn't control. But this-this place? It felt wrong from the start. The truth was, she didn't belong here. Not in the sterile hallways of Whispering Pines, not in the cold, uncaring arms of a psych ward, and certainly not under the watchful eyes of the people who had decided to send her away. "You'll see, honey," her mom continued, her voice syrupy sweet. "You'll get better. You'll be happy again." Aurora looked out the window, not trusting herself to speak. If only her mom knew the truth. The truth about how the fire had felt-how, for the first time in forever, she'd felt alive. She wasn't sorry. Not really. Aurora didn't know it yet, but this place would change her. Change all of them. And soon, the obsession would turn into something darker-something dangerous. They would kill for each other, lie for each other, and cross lines they never imagined. And in the end, none of them would be able to escape the pull. This was a quick one two it's got mistakes bc it was made in one night
