He was standing close to me, much closer than how friends were supposed to be. “Ja…cob, what's the problem? what are you doing?” I stammered, “The problem is today is the last day of our stay in this hell hole, and probably the last we see of each other,” he said, his voice dark. “I…we can call, or maybe visit…” I was saying when his lips crashed on mine, sealing my heart. ******************** Alex, after spending his long vacation in a camp, returns to his boring and quiet life as the weird kid in the neighborhood where he was bullied and maltreated.

"Doesn't it bother you?" I blurted out right there and then, having been asking myself that question since the night we slept together. I was curious, but I'd been obviously avoiding him. "What? That you're the heir to the Siren-" "That I'm trans," I said. I could care less about what he think of me being a Sirenio by blood. "T-That I'm a trans...man," "Does it bother you that I'm bisexual?" he asked me. I hadn't expected that response. Not when I'm having mixed feelings about all of this. "Does it?" he probed, closing what's left of the space between. His scent and warmth envelopes me as I'm caged between him and the sink. I shook my head. "Use your words, Miles," he said running his finger over my bottom lip. I shuddered at the sensation it brought to my body. "You were so good with those, that night," I sucked in a sharp breath. I looked away, and his touch disappeared immediately. "It was a mistake," I whispered, my heart racing. "What...happened was a-" "I don't do mistakes, Miles," Mr Stark said guiding my eyes back to his. "You should know that by now," I let out a shaky breath when his thumb found my bottom lip again. "Does it bother you that I want to fuck you right now?"

"Shit! I’m so fucking hard,” he growled while I dampened my boxers as my own c®ck pulsated with dizzying intensity. But I barely heard him, my own vision hazy with lust as I began drawing circles on his tip with my tongue before wrapping my lips around his length, eliciting another explosive grunt that threw his head back in ecstasy. I sucked him deeper, reveling in the power as I sent him teetering at the edge of insanity, forcing him to crumble at my command. But the feeling of power was fleeting as he fisted my hair and accelerated the pace, each thrust harder than the last. I tried but couldn't keep up, and I gagged, tears welling up in my eyes while my hands slid to his thighs and gripped them tightly as the predator became prey. All I could do was hold on, drool drenching my chest as the hot stranger mercilessly fucked my mouth numb. ++++++ Lake lived his entire life on eggshells, hiding who he was to appease a family that did not believe in his truth.

“I’ll come back, Akiro,” Heli’s cold voice was calm, making him sound even more dangerous. The Crystal of Fate had appeared again after years of waiting. With it came the last chosen mate of the Regia Solaria royal family. The youngest prince—Helios—was the only one unhappy about the Crystal’s return because he hated having his fate dictated by anything or anyone. Determined to resist, he left, refusing to succumb to the Crystal’s power. But when things began to spiral out of control, Helios realised the Crystal was to blame. By the time he saw who his mate was, it was too late—he had already been tricked. And just like everyone else, he was instantly captivated by his mate's beauty. Akiro Valerian Freniere was a simple human being—perhaps too good-looking for his own good, too kind, and far too hormonal. He attracted attention and admirers everywhere he went but had never been in a relationship in his nineteen years of life. He knew where his interests lay, but society wasn’t always kind to people like him. So what would he do when, one day, a persistent and strangely intense man approached him, claiming they were mates? A man with near otherworldly visuals—platinum blonde hair and red eyes that burned with intensity whenever they looked at Akiro. Oh, and one more thing: the man was also a vampire.
