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. "Should I answer its call?" #1 in demons on 6/15 -6/17/20! Again on 6/20 and 6/22-6/23! Sweet and innocent Katherine has a routine and is a little tightly wound.

Awakening in The world of Gods
In a world where magic is the lifeblood of existence, Poll Nightvale is about to turn everything upside down. Don't let his unassuming name fool you-behind his innocent demeanor lies a cunning mind capable of outsmarting even the most seasoned wizards. With razor-sharp manipulation skills and a knack for combining arcane arts with cutting-edge science, Poll is a force of nature, blending brilliance and chaos in equal measure. When Poll's dormant mana powers awaken, he quickly discovers magic's darker side-it's unruly, chaotic, and dangerously addictive, much like himself. Refusing to follow traditional methods, he forges his own path, blending science and magic to create groundbreaking (and often explosive) inventions. Along the way, his experiments and audacious plans teeter on the edge of madness but prove surprisingly effective. Things escalate when Poll uncovers the horrifying truth about mana corruption, a malevolent force that twists and consumes all it touches. Rather than crumble under the pressure, Poll smirks and takes on the impossible, armed with his sharp mind, dubious charm, and an eclectic team of allies. His fiercely protective mother, Seraphina, and stoic, sword-wielding father, Eryndor, join the fight, alongside a crew of unlikely companions: Lira, a fire-wielding wizard obsessed with pyrotechnics; Kaida, a silent assassin with deadly precision; and Elowen, a gentle shield mage hiding untapped power. Together, they navigate a world riddled with treacherous alliances, shadowy enemies, and sky-high stakes. As Poll battles the forces of mana and his own chaotic ambitions, he learns that heroism isn't about playing by the rules. It's about bending, breaking, and rewriting them entirely. Whether he's dismantling traditions, outwitting his foes, or setting the metaphorical box on fire, Poll's unpredictable brilliance is the spark the world needs to avoid annihilation-or embrace transformation.

All I Need ✔️
"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.Complete
Masquerade
The kingdom of Verlockend has a secret. Within its emerald green hills and spanning lakes lies a deadly curse. Behind its citizens' extravagant masks exists a condition beyond compare: hideous boils that cover every face. For as long as Fawn has known, this is the way life has been under the rule of King Malin; everyone within its walls is mandated to wear a mask at all times, so as not to reveal the cause of Verlockend's mysterious solitude to its enemies. The curse that covered the miles of fruitful land long ago is not only hard to look at, but deadly as citizens continue to age. The elderly members of the community are starting to disappear more and more often, sent far away from civilization due to the violent characteristics of the curse. Their heartbroken families never see them again. Despite the horrors of this, Fawn lives a comfortable life as a baker's daughter. Having lived this sad tale all her life, she has grown used to spending her days hidden behind cloth. But even within the mundane kitchen life, a secret as big as her kingdom's always looms in the back of her mind: she is not cursed. She was born an anomaly, the one Verlockan citizen without those grotesque features the curse brings; her skin is smooth and white as milk, keeping her immune from the curse's claws. When the home she thought she knew is suddenly turned upside down, Fawn realizes that she cannot live surrounded by secrets any longer. Her chance comes upon meeting a cunning stranger named Jacinth, whose bold spirit leads them both into an unexplored land to discover the truth behind all the lies. Along with wise Kendry, confident Wrendolyn, and some companions along the way, Fawn finds herself as she discovers the story behind her kingdom's fate - and if there is a way to break the curse once and for all.Complete
