"Does it say you're not allowed to have fun in the bible?"
"No,"
"Then what's the matter, Em?" she said, dragging her finger down my chest, pausing at the first button of my shirt.
"What you are referring to is a sin. A deadly sin,"
"A sin you've committed before,"
"A sin I've apologized for,"
"A sin you can apologize for again," she whispered against my lips, the softness reaching my senses, causing a moment of uncertainty. "A sin with great rewards," she said, her lips skimming over my jaw, towards my ear, where she licked the shell, her voice echoing in my head, as she placed a light kiss on my neck. My breath hitched, my hand slightly tightening on her hip...
"You're not putting up much of a fight, Emrys. Why's that?"
******
Emrys Ruel is a 27-year-old man whose changed his life for the better. After an experience with death, he was visited by an angel. When he awoke, he decided enough was enough and got on the straight and narrow. He found God, apologized for the life he lived, and has now been living in solitude, sometimes feeling like an imposter in his own skin. For 5 years, he's dedicated his life to working and staying out of the way. Work and Home were his only options. He closed off all aspects of fun in life until he met her.
MaraLyn Cairo is a 23-year-old woman who's been grabbing life by the horns. At an early age, she experienced the worst of the worst and has been living life on edge since. Work, Parties, and Sex were all she knew from the age of 16-20. Her hypersexuality makes it hard for her to form real relationships. She only knows one form of love. Physical. After meeting Emerys, she's allowed to experience love in its purest form: a man willing to do whatever just to call her his. 
On this journey together, they learn more about themselves as well as each other's pasts. Will they be able to prosper and learn to love one another the way they would like, or will this ship crash and burn because of differing opinions on how life should be viewed?

Hate War  by Bluedragon95
108 parts Complete Mature
His cold eyes moved from my face to all over my white lace dress with a clenched jaw. I felt weak in my knees but I was successful in keeping my brave face. "Nina is that you? You are looking so beautiful" he said while looking at me. I blushed I was still feeling burning holes in my back I gulp down nervously. "Have some drink?" he said while taking a glass from the waiter. "No she is leaving," said the harsh voice next thing I know champagne was all over my dress staining it and making me gasp. Before I could react he gripped my hand & dragged me near the pool area where no one could see us. I snatched my hand away from his tight grip "Why the hell you ruined my dress" I half yelled. "What the fuck you are doing at my party looking like a slut" he yelled angrily while pinning me to the wall. Listening to his words my blood boiled. "Let me guess you came here to ruin my mood by showing your ugly face," he said with an angry smirk letting me know his hate. "Stop giving yourself so much importance. I'm here for your mom. My face may be ugly but ugly souls like you are not even worthy of my life's single second" I said angrily and pushed him away from me but he didn't let me go away. "I can hide my ugly soul beside this face but ugly ducklings like you carry their ugliness which can't even be hidden by beautiful dresses because they stain everything around them with their ugliness" his words were hurting my soul. I won't give him the privilege to see my tears. With all my power I pushed him making him stumble and fall into the pool. "Happy birthday," saying that I tried to walk away with a victory smirk but he didn't let me go. Things he did to me after that still send a shiver down my spine. One thing was clear that day I would never want to see his face again in this life. But I don't know why the hell I am standing in front of him in church wearing a wedding gown. Looking at his victory angry smirk plastered to his face with my glassy eyes.

Married to the Ruthless CEO

31 parts Ongoing

Bound by an arranged marriage neither of them chose, she feels imprisoned with a husband who is strict, aloof, and indifferent. To him, she's merely a pawn in a business deal. Their days are marked by cold, silent exchanges-until the tension between them begins to shift. Legally tied, emotionally distant... yet one look, and all rules start to burn.
