bound by temptation

“So then what do you want? Tell me.” That question isn’t one easily answered. Her eyes are pleading with me, searching my own for any sign. She’s vulnerable and so innocent right now, and that excites me. The predator in me wants to play and I just can’t resist. I need a taste. Just one more. Demetrius is over his meaningless cursed life. He’s ruthless, cruel and doesn’t care for many, a true monster. Even still, he feels alone, misunderstood, and longs for something new and exciting, until one day by a chance encounter he meets Xenia, a human woman, who is all of those things. He despises humans, but aside from the physical attraction something about her is different. Realizing she is a temptation that he can’t afford, he makes the decision to cut her from his life, but when she is marked by another, he is forced to reveal his true self, bringing her into his dark world of the damned. Keeping his true feelings hidden and explaining her presence to the others while protecting her from the creatures that roam night, creatures she never even knew existed, will be difficult enough. But there’s an even bigger issue: How do you fight a temptation you can’t get away from?

Hope you have your drug with you?" Zoe inquired as he ogled at her keenly before placing a kiss on her neck.  "Yes bunny, you have nothing to worry about," he said with a wide grin. "You know what kisses on the neck make me feel," Zoe told him as he bent closer to her face before crushing his lips on hers tenderly and softly, after some minutes they both pulled away as he glanced at her.  "You taste like strawberries," he said, trying to kiss her again but she turned away. "The flight attendant is staring," Zoey said with a blush and red cheeks. "Alright, but you should apply whatever you apply on those lips always because they turn me damn on," he said, making Zoey's eyes bulge.  He sure had a great way of teasing her which was undeniably sweet.

Marcel responded irritably as she hopped into the copilot seat of her best friend's car, anxious to get as far away as possible from her home. “Hey, I've known you since you were four, so don't try and act all brave and mature. Tell me the truth, you're afraid aren't you?” “Humph! What's there to be scared of?...” “That Mike's ghost might come back to haunt you." The boy interrupted, carelessly blurting out his analysis, adding…“I just don't get it; everyone else knows his death wasn't your fault…” “I know it wasn't!” “Then why won't you pray for his safe journey into the afterlife? What if his soul is damn to roam the earth, wreaking havoc among the living or even disrupting the balance between the two worlds?” “Ahh! Don't be childish.

THE GREEN TEMPTATION SERIES #1 —Slander Vlustero "You won't escape from me, not again." napaigtad ako nang marinig ko ang pamilyar na boses. Hindi ako kumibo. Sinundan ko lang ng tingin ang kanyang ginagawa. Lumapit ito sa akin at inilapag ang isang paper bag. "What's your answer?" napatitig ako sakanya. Yung titig na kinasusuklaman ko sya. Gusto ko syang pagmumurahin at patayin. "Hindi ko kailangan mamili dahil makakalabas ako dito." matapang na sagot ko. "Really?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong nito sa akin. Taas nuo ko naman syang tiningnan. "Oo, at hinding hindi ako mahuhulog sayo, gago. Itaga mo yan sa bato, kumulubot man yang pagmumukha mo." narinig ko itong tumawa. "Did you see the outside of this room?" umiling ako. Alam ko imposibleng makalabas dito palang sa loob ng kwarto paano pa kaya sa labas. "Wala akong pakialam kung kamatayan ang nasa labas, ang mahalaga makatakas ako. Hindi ko masisikmura ang mga pinaggagawa mo." sa totoo lang kauti lang talaga ang tiyansa na makatakas ako rito. Pero susubukan ko. How can I escape from someone like him? Can I really escape from him even if I escaped from here?
