To Desire A Nightmare

After their strange adventure together, Johanna Constantine found herself drawn to the Corinthian in ways she never expected. Attraction wasn't the right word -- it was sharper than that, dangerous, as though her pulse quickened at the very thought of him. But he was a nightmare, and nightmares were not meant to be loved. So she did what she always did: kept her distance, pushed the feeling down, pretended it wasn't there.
The trouble was, he felt it too. Corinthian had always known when he was being desired. At Morpheus's funeral, amid shadows, grief, and the silent weight of gods, Constantine and the Corinthian shared a kiss. It was brief, almost reckless, but it left her shaken.
How was this meant to work? Would he belong to her only in dreams? Or would he cross the fragile line into the waking world?
Two months passed. No visits. No signs. Neither in her sleep nor her days. She told herself she should be relieved -- but the truth was uglier: with each empty night, her craving for him deepened.
Until one night, he returned -- sliding into her dream like a knife through silk.

Abducted
"What reason do I have to lie?" He looked up at me with squinted eyes. "Hmm, Maybe because YOU KIDNAPPED ME?" I yelled at him, throwing whatever was closest to me, which happened to be the plate I had just eaten off of. The plate missed his head but hit the wall behind him with a thump, it shattered to pieces onto the couch, food splattering all over. His eyes glazed over with anger. "Did you just throw that at my head?" He asked in a scary calm tone. I gulped, "Maybe if you weren't such an asshole I wouldn't have." I spoke, my voice shaking as much as my body was. "I'm not an asshole!" He yelled at me as he stood to his feet, and in two long strides made his way over to me. He grabbed me by the arms and pushed his face inches away from mine. Wanting to push his buttons, I did the only thing I could think of. "Only an asshole would say that." I told him, my voice low. I was mad and I wanted to see what he would do. He held my arms down. I laughed in his face, "What are you gonna do? Hit me?" I pushed, I wanted to prove a point, I wanted to show him how much of a monster he truly is. He released his grip, "No. No I'm not." He stood up and walked towards the door, running his hands through his hair. I was surprised, but decided to push further, to see how far I could actually push him. "Why not? You've done it before." I pointed out, my confidence growing now that he didn't hit me for that. He leaned on the door frame, his back to me. "Because I can't do it!" He yelled, turning around to face me. He strode towards me, anger fuming off of him. I cowarded away from him, scared he was going to hit me again. But, I wanted him to, just to make a point, but he did something that surprised me a lot more. He kissed me. *** April Hastings, a seemingly normal girl is abducted by her handsome boss. Learning that the abduction was not ill intended, she starts to fall in love. *FIRST BOOK OF "IN THE SHADOWS" SERIES!*Complete

At the end of the day, I was just a maid in his father's house but I didn't look at it that way when I fell for him and that was how I lost myself. -Read to know how she lost herself, who is the angle and the devil, how did her demons won when she was trying so hard to run away from them.

The Guardian
When Julianna was four, she witnessed her mother murdered in a mugging gone wrong, a murder that her guardian angel wasn't able to stop. However, during that encounter, her guardian angel created a connection with her, a connection that meant that he could walk in her dreams, monitor her emotions, and talk to her telepathically. The catch? She couldn't know of Seth's identity outside her mind until she was twenty-one. Fourteen years later, she was a recovering alcoholic who self-harmed as a method of controlling her emotions. She hates herself, both for the fact that she's an alcoholic as well as because she can't remember anything at all about her mother. Everything comes to a head when Julianna is drugged against her will at a party, and with Seth's support she learns to protect herself and to act in a self-supportive manner. I will try to publish a chapter a day to give people a good chance to comment on the book.Complete
She's Married To Rasmus✔️
Rasmus was shocked when he saw me and it was as if he saw a ghost. Fuck! Why did you do this to me! You said you didn't have a relationship with her but now it's clear to me! I can see it with my own two eyes that they love each other! "Sheryl." He softly said my name. He stood up causing his woman to move away from him. "Look it is not what you think.." I don't know if I was imagining it because I just saw his emotion as if he was afraid and feel sorry for me or sad. "Ras stop it! What are you talking about? We kissed didn't we? Why do you have to explain to her?!" His woman seems annoyed. Rasmus couldn't take his eyes off me and even surprised his woman when he pulled back his arm that was holding her. He slowly walked towards me. My tears just continued to fall and my vision was blurred because of the tireless release of water from my eyes "Hey, I don't know how to explain this but believe me I didn't kiss her." He still managed to lie in front of me?! My fists clenched. I just smiled bitterly at him before I turned and ran out of the house. I didn't look at him again and I know he followed me because I heard him calling my name. I can barely see the road I'm running to because of my blurred vision. It hurt so much! It's like I'm slowly being crushed by this disease. Why did I love someone like him and why didn't I love Tristan? He is better over him! Why is the world so unfair?! Why me?! I was deaf and I couldn't hear anything because my mind was consumed by emotions. I don't know if this road I ran is still right. I suddenly came back to my thoughts when I heard a loud beep of a car. The last thing I saw was Rasmus' shocked eyes as he ran towards me. It happened so fast, I didn't realize that I was hit by a car, thrown in the air and fell it caused my vision to darken. ******** Mature content | R18+ Highest rank #1 - hatesComplete

Based on the following: Neil Gaiman's "The Sandman," the Netflix series "The Sandman," the 2005 film "Constantine," and Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut." Please note that updates are monthly. You think you know the Sandman? I assure you, no one knew him better than a handful of people. His parents, Night and Time; his siblings: Destiny, Death, Destruction, Desire, Despair, and Delirium; and a human woman who was a dreamer and, most likely, the love of his existence - Belle. Mirabella Valenzuela has been many things in her life - a bastard, a friend, a scholar, a daughter, an Icarus - but she's always been a dreamer with a heart as pure as gold. In spite of everything she had faced, she still held fast to her faith, hopes, dreams, and sincerity. Perhaps that is why Dream of the Endless, a being Belle believed only lived in comic books, was so enthralled with her; why he felt a connection with her unlike any other. And so, when he comes to her and her stepfather's aid when she was but a sixteen-year-old girl, their lives, fates, and the multiverse would forever be changed. Follow Belle and Dream through their lives and adventures; their hopes and struggles as they traverse labyrinths between worlds and dimensions. As they brave the depths of Hell and agony. As they come face to face with gods, monsters, and demons. And as their love for each other grows stronger endlessly.
