We all have a story to tell, a closet full of skeletons that beckon us with devilish claws.  They taunt and terrorize those who are helpless to overcome them, who do not have the strength to fight against it.  Hell, I'm one of those people.  I let the past get to me, drag me into an oblivion of loneliness and distance from other humans.  I may not seem like it; in fact, I'm probably the friendliest person you'll ever meet, but try to get close and I'll only push you away.  

That is...until I met him.  The man who was just as messed up as me inside, who I suddenly became desperate to be near even if his presence was a toxicity.  Somehow, he seemed to feel the same.  But I knew that it had to end at some point.

If I let you in, you'd just want out.
If I tell you the truth, you'd fight for a lie.
If I spilt my guts, it would make a mess we can't clean up.
If you follow me, you will only get lost.
If you try to get closer, we'll only lose touch.
But you already know too much, and you're not going anywhere.All Rights Reserved

Psycho Sunshine 18+ by HarlotPlay

I'm broken, but only a little bit. Cracked, really. The small town I'm from doesn't see it that way, though. No, they think I'm a hurricane waiting to happen after what happened to my family eleven years ago. So what if I have an obsession with blood? That doesn't make me crazy! Right? They should be thanking me and calling me a hero after everything I do to keep this town safe from the real monsters. I'll keep my fiery godmother skills to the shadows. I might not be getting any awards anytime soon, but at least everyone is safe, mostly. All is well and good with my lonely little life until a giant of a man that sets my soul on fire comes searching for answers about the death of his brother. Did I mention that I'm the one who killed that brother? oops. This is a short erotic read intended for 18+ ONLY.

Our Struggle by maae23456

"You're a spoiled, ungrateful brat." Asher snarled, turning around so suddenly that I nearly fell from the sheer momentum. His blue eyes blazed with an icy fire as they narrowed into slits. "Why are you so ignorant?" He took a large step towards me as his words rocketed around the room. I bit my trembling lip with all the strength in the world. No freaking way. Absolutely not. I refused to cry in front of him. "Can't you see that I care?" His tone so dangerously quiet, so very low. I pushed myself back further into the stony wall, hoping it would swallow me whole. "Is that not enough?" His eyes dropped to my lips, flickering back up as quickly as they had fallen. All I could see was him, all I could feel was him. He had captured every single one of my senses. And I hated it. He made me feel things that I sure as heck didn't deserve to feel. "To hell with the rest of them." He growled, "you're mine." ------- Ariella Gates is the daughter of one of the richest men in the world. As someone who is set to inherit billions, she's never had to lift a finger. Unfortunately, no one expected her 'beloved' daddy to die so soon. Thrown into a world of poverty, Asher Kent, a pessimistic yet handsome cleaner, reluctantly takes her under his wing. They say that opposites attract. Let's test that fictitious, romantical theory out. ----------------------- A bucketload of heart fluttering romance, a dash of tragedy and a hint of danger. INCLUDES SOME MENTION OF THE FOLLOWING TOPICS - violence, physical and emotional abuse, death, mental health and eating disorders. ----- A massive thanks to @june-writes for this amazing cover. Check her graphics out!

The Wrong Sister by ilothe

Alpha Gabriel is ruthless. He is 28 and has yet to find his mate. He has lost hope until one day a new family moves into town and he catches her scent. She is not what he was expecting from a mate. He feels no sparks, his wolf is silent, but he tries hard to love her and he succeeds. After hearing stories of her sister he concludes that she is a spoilt brat who doesn't appreciate what her sister does for her. When he finally meets her he realizes. He got the wrong sister. Artimis is a sweet 20 year old who has a dark past that her sister is unaware of. She discovers that her sisters sister's boyfriend is her "mate" as he says, but how can she betray her sister. How can she become close to him knowing he fell in love with her sister first. --------- His hand grazed my cheek as I stared into his eyes. I felt myself lean in slightly. He groaned and wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer. His one hand went to the back of my neck the other stayed around my waist pulling me closer. I felt his hard muscles against my soft body and shivered. Gabriel dipped his head and softly placed his lips against mine. 'I wonder if he thinks Chloe was a better kisser' a voice whispers in my head. I yanked my head away from his pushing at his chest. He didn't losen his grip and kept me pasted to his chest. "Let me go." I whimpered. A loud growl echoed around us, "never!"

Pessimist by v1carious

[01/07/2021] - [13/04/2023] "You can't keep going around like a fucking maniac and treating me like shit. That isn't how relationships work," Sophia's voice was havoc as she verbalized her emotions. "That isn't how we work..." Tired, vulnerable and agitated at not only him, but herself. How could she let herself get this far, in such little time? He looked down, ashamed, not wanting to respond. His heart felt like it was beating faster than it should've. "I forgot how it felt to love you." As soon as those words were uttered from Sophia's lips, his world broke apart. Gone, in just a matter of seconds. - - - When Sophia Adam moves to a new town, she wishes nothing more than a boring, new life, to separate herself from her past. Moving meant completing university and getting a clerkship with a judge. Moving meant making refreshing new friends, and meeting a mysterious guy that seems hell-bent on getting to know her. To Sophia, moving to a new town was everything she imagined and more. She just didn't expect her past to follow.

His Obsession by Petite_Mort_

"Uhm.. Sir? Can I help you?" I mumble while staring at him. He breaks out into a huge grin, the kind of grin you see on little kids when they get their favorite toy. He reaches out to me, and I start to fall backwards trying to move away. He latches onto my elbow, pulling me into his chest. He inhales deeply, mumbling something I can't hear. Before everything goes black. "This is turning into a good night after all.." ------------------------------------------------------- This is a dark horror romance about a young woman named Layla. Trying to escape her past, she flees to another city, hoping for a fresh start. Little does she know, that was her biggest mistake. That is where he sees her for the first time. And he will stop at nothing to make her his. His murderous obsession for her knows no bounds. What will she do when she finds herself trapped in his clutches?

Midnight Whispers ||18+ by Aria_writes610

My plan was to run away from him. He's a psychopathic monster, but you know the thing about monsters? ~They always follow, They always haunt. They forever stalk, They never stop. ---------------------------------------------------------- He buried his face in my hair at the nape of my neck and whispered~ "Bad move, angel. You shouldn't have cared about him." With that, he fired six bullets into the man who was now lying on the ground with blood all over his chest. He fired one more time not moving away from me or even looking back at that man. He just killed him. "If any other man besides me has your attention, this is what they'll get in return." ---------------------------------------------------------- He started taking steps forward, not afraid of the gun I was pointing at him, and I started taking steps back, unable to shoot him. "You have 10 seconds to pull that trigger. If you don't, I'm gonna let you run, then hunt you down, break into your house, kiss you hard, rip off your clothes, and suck your tits until you beg me to fuck you like the good lil slut you are!" ---------------------------------------------------------- .A tale of obsession and payback.

I Blame Wattpad for My High Expectations of Men by authornn2018

She wanted to test a theory. He wanted to win a bet. What could possibly go wrong? ------------------------------------------------- Why was this shit so much easier in the books?! The Macy Anderson in me would spit out the alternatives to every curse word known to man. The Ruby Buchannan in me would knee him in the groin. The Mia Hastings in me would lunge at him first, taking him on that table right there and now. The Haley Geller in me would confuse the fuck out of him by asking way too many questions. Hell! Even the Tessa Young in me would do something, like beg him to come at me with her desperate but wild ass... But the Lola Dino in me -aka the me, me- just stands there frozen, contemplating a very important decision in her head: fuck, fuck, fuck! Who do I act as next?! Um, how about yourself for a change? My conscience decides NOW to be a smartass. Yeah, right? Like that's ever worked before. Not even having the slightest clue of what to do, I wait for him to make the first move instead, and then I'll just go from there. So, I wait. And I wait. And I wait. And I wait. I wait as we remain staring at one another -I like a deer in headlights and he like a predator stalking his prey- for what seems like forever. But when his ripped, muscular frame finally charges at me, his strong tattooed hand instantly meeting the back of my head, he crashes my lips onto his so forcefully that I'm now just left with one thought and one thought only: Lola Dino, what the hell did you just get yourself into? ------------------------------------------------- *WARNING: Contains mature content including language, sex, violence, and drugs.

The Boy Next Door by AaliyhaWrites

𝐈𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐚𝐡 - One could say that I'm a failure - that I'm nothing but a nuisance, or that I'm a criminal that deserved to be behind bars - And honestly, I couldn't give two shits about what the next person could think of me. I'm what they call a survivor. Risking, and doing things that no 18 year old kid should be doing. So yea, I could care less about what people could think of me. So why was it that when this 𝐠𝗼𝐫𝐠𝐞𝗼𝐮𝐬, 𝐬𝗺𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝗺𝗼𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐝, 𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐳𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 looks at me, do I want to hide my harsh cold world. To keep her at bay from who I 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 am. But I wanted her - 𝐛𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲, but nothing good would come from ever loving me. 𝐈𝗺𝐚𝐧𝐢 - He was quiet, laid-back and a 𝐟𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 asshole. Yet, I just can't seem to get him out of my mind. He has that certain . . . . aura about him. One that I'm awfully familiar with. I needed to save him before it was too late - before I 𝐥𝗼𝐬𝐭 him too. His eyes always seemed to draw me in. It's like he was calling to me - as if he 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 me, as if he 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 me. I wanted him - badly. I wanted him so that I could hold him. To be the one to help him stitch all his 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐬 and just maybe . . . He could help me fix mine too.

Back for you by Shanamj

He left me, I cried for him everyday hoping this was all a joke and he'd come back, but no he left. I trained hard making sure that my bow and arrow skills stayed bright, fueling my work with anger. I have mastered everything and I refuse to forgive him, I hate him. My anger grows more everyday as my sadness dissapears. The argument that started it will also end it he doesn't love me and I refuse to be a fan of his. So if he does care he would come and find me only he doesnt care and never will. These are my thoughts, but not my wishes. I want him to care, but I don't want him to find out why. He can't save me from my thoughts they are mind after all. Noone can or will know because they will send me away. My thoughts they tell me to do unspeakeable things, but they disapear when he is around, they don't like him, they are afraid of him. That's why I try to stay a respectable distance from him. My thoughts are dark, but they don't control me, I control them, I can get them to stop in fact I already have, they only fuel up when I'm angry or upset. "Why can't you tell me?" He yelled. "Because if I do then you'll leave me!" I yelled back. That is right he will leave and make sure they take you away. I covered my ears the voices they were back. "Shut up." I dropped to my knees. He ran to me. "What is wrong?" I looked at him as the voices stopped and hugged him. This was my guardian and it all started the day he came back, Came back for me.

The difference between you and me by ErinBratovic

I screamed. He threw a plate at my face and blood trickled down my chest. I ran into the kitchen, trying to escape. He grabbed me and slung me into the wall. I hit my head and everything became a blur. I yelled in pain and grabbed the closest thing I could reach and threw it at him. A shoe. It hit him in the the eye and I had managed to escape from his grip. He groaned in fury. I grabbed the bottle of beer that he had clumsily left on the kitchen table and threw it at him with every force I had. It was enough. He hit the floor and was out. I opened the door and ran. I knew what I had to do. I knew it had to be now. It wasn't long before I could hear the footsteps daunting my thoughts, my mind was going crazy, fear was lurking inside of me. I screamed as he grabbed me, natural instincts got me kicking at the monster behind the mask, but he threw me against the wall. I knew what he was going to do to me, it's been the same for 2 weeks, as if yesterday was repeating itself.
