Gazing Synonym

Under his gaze, with a slow and deliberate motion, the brunette beside him grips the railing and carefully leans back. Aiden's first instinct was to step closer, but the girl's raspy voice stopped him. "You'd be surprised how often I do this, sir." Sensing she had startled him, and perhaps even disturbed him, she added the explanation she knew he needed: "Surely you've had moments in your life when you wished everything would just end," she said, closing her eyes and leaning back a little further. "When I do this, I realize that I don't want to die." The man rested his elbows on the railing and let out a long sigh. She was the first woman in his life he couldn't understand or see through. A unique and complex character, but damn beautiful. "Remind me once again, for the fourth time now, how you passed the psychological evaluation, Miss Joy?" The profound silence between them had become uncomfortable. Aiden felt he should rephrase the question, soften it somehow. For the first time since he'd met her, he felt he'd crossed a line. "Mr. Black," she finally said with a sigh, "when I do this, I realize that I want to live and be happy." Aiden turned his head slightly toward her. Something in his gaze had changed, and Tatum noticed. That's why she casually added: "As for the psychological exams," she chuckled, letting go of the railing, "be assured that I don't have that much cash lying around just to pass them all, only to protect your ass." The man's chuckle put her at ease. She didn't need anyone's pity.

'What is my purpose?' He thought as he gazed at the carnage that surrounded him. With every step he takes countless perish, with every action countless mourn. Behind him legions so vast they cover the horizon and blot out the heavens. His soldiers, servants, friends, children. 'That's right.' He remembered with a tinge of melancholy, 'This is my purpose.' Author's note: High fantasy setting, with a heavy emphasis on action, army tactics, political schemes and world building. No harem and very little romance.

Yun Jin lost his sight at the age of five due to a golden light he saw in the sky.

In the Southern Empire of werewolves, Feyre has always been nothing—a wolfless wolf cast aside by her pack and family. She has spent her life as a shadow—unseen and unwanted. And then her fated mate, the cold and powerful heir to the empire, Rowan, rejects her without hesitation, breaking the last thread of hope she clung to. Just when she thought it can't get any worse, a cruel prank forces her into the brutal royal security training where Feyre finds herself face-to-face with the man who shattered her and a world that seems determined to crush her spirit. Determined to survive for herself, Feyre fights to endure, only to find Rowan’s cold gaze lingering on her at every turn. ** Feyre’s back slammed against the wall as his hands pinned her wrists with unrelenting force. Her breath hitched as his face dipped low, his nose brushing the curve of her neck. A shiver raced down her spine when he inhaled deeply, his touch burning like a brand. “Fuck,” he muttered against her skin, the word more like a growl than a curse. His breath fanned her neck as his grip tightened. “If you want these men to keep their bloodlines intact little mouse, I’d suggest you keep your pretty paws off them.” She swallowed hard, “And who—who are you to tell me what to do?” Summoning her courage, she glared at him. “Should I help you jog your memory.” For a fleeting moment, his dark gaze faltered, something raw and almost vulnerable flickered in his eyes but it disappeared in an instant, replaced by a wicked smile that didn’t quite reach his face. And Feyre would later realise she should have just kept her mouth shut.

In a world where summoners wield the power to call forth vampires, elves, angels, demons, and all humanoid creatures from across the realms, Nathan found himself unable to summon beings except from beasts.  However, those beasts are not ordinary beasts. They are divine beings who once stood at the same level, if not higher, than the legendary creatures the world ever knew.  Casting his gaze to the left, Nathan sees numerous summoners accompanied by the likes of demon kings, archangels, vampire progenitors, and other legendary beings. Turning to the right, a massive army of alien symbiotes is waiting to attack.  There was no fear in his eyes, because standing on his left is a majestic wolf who managed to kill a god, the legendary eight-headed serpent coils on his right, above him is the bird who is glowing like the sun, and behind him is a dragon that once gnawed the roots of the world tree.  “Let the war begin.”

"Do you want to escape?" A pause. The words hung heavy in the air, like a challenge whispered in the dark. "...Escape what?" "Everything." The silence stretched between them, taut and electric. "How?" A faint, cryptic smile. "We rewrite the rules." "Rewrite... reality?" "Exactly." A sharp intake of breath, disbelief flickering in their eyes. "Is that even possible?" Another pause. A gaze as steady as stone, yet as unfathomable as the abyss. "...What if it is?" The question sliced through the quiet like a blade. "...What do we do?" A step closer, a voice barely above a whisper. "Let's find out." --- In a kingdom shrouded by whispers of corruption and secrets, a mysterious knight ventures into a quiet village, seeking answers to an unsettling case. Known for their sharp gaze and unyielding presence, the knight’s reputation precedes them—but not everything is as it seems.

A hand above and a hand below, To steal their stars and stunt their growth. Beneath the earth, the hidden lie, Our hands descend while they reach high Whose line is it that I must tow? ____________________________ On the other side they beckon to go, Their rise deep down, the difference unknown. Shall I follow their path? Face up, down low. Whose line is it that I must tow? ____________________________ Down there, they're lost. Like mice in a maze They scathe and they steal under Death's weary gaze Yet still, as they look, their aim looks on high Where their dreams begin, ours have long since died Whose line is it that I must tow? ____________________________ Birthed with eyes that cast down; we've never asked why. "Divine, our blood", they claim, and they lie. If down there are the bees, then up here, the beehive. We are the hands that steal the sky.

The forest was unusually quiet that evening, its towering trees casting long shadows under the dim glow of the setting sun. Selene Rivers adjusted her scarf against the biting autumn chill, her boots crunching against the blanket of fallen leaves. She'd come to the woods for solace, hoping the isolation would help her clear her thoughts. Life in the small town of Everhollow had been far from eventful—until tonight. She hadn't planned to stay out late, but as the sun dipped below the horizon, she realized she'd wandered farther than usual. The air felt different now—heavier, as though the forest itself was holding its breath. A low growl shattered the silence. Selene froze, her heart pounding in her chest. She turned slowly, scanning the woods, but nothing stirred. Her pulse raced as she quickened her pace, her breath visible in the icy air. The growl came again, louder this time, followed by the unmistakable sound of snapping twigs. Panic surged through her veins. Selene broke into a run, weaving between the trees, her instincts screaming at her to flee. But she wasn't fast enough. A massive wolf leapt from the shadows, landing a few feet ahead of her. Its fur was jet-black, its golden eyes gleaming with predatory intent. Selene skidded to a halt, her breath hitching. The creature snarled, baring sharp teeth that glinted in the moonlight. Her mind raced. Wolves weren't supposed to be this big. This wasn't an ordinary animal—it radiated an unnatural intelligence, its gaze locked onto hers with almost human intensity. "Stay back," she whispered, though she knew it was futile. The wolf crouched, muscles coiling as it prepared to pounce. Selene closed her eyes, bracing for the worst. A deafening roar echoed through the forest, and the black wolf was suddenly thrown sideways by a blur of movement. Selene's eyes snapped open as two figures tumbled across the forest floor—a second wolf, larger and more imposing, its fur a stormy gray streaked with silver. The two beasts clashed violently, their growls shaking the air. Selene stumbled backward, her instincts urging her to run, but she couldn't tear her gaze away. The gray wolf fought with ferocity, its movements fluid and precise, as though it had been trained for this moment. After a brutal exchange of claws and teeth, the black wolf let out a pained yelp and darted into the shadows, disappearing into the depths of the forest. The gray wolf stood still, its chest heaving as it watched the retreating figure. Slowly, it turned to face Selene. She should have been terrified. But as the wolf's piercing blue eyes met hers, she felt an odd sense of calm. There was no malice in its gaze—only curiosity and something she couldn't quite place. And then it happened. Before her eyes, the wolf began to shift. Its massive frame contorted, bones cracking and reshaping, fur receding to reveal pale skin. Selene's breath caught as the creature transformed into a man.

"If anyone dares to even gaze upon him with ill intentions, they'll find themselves in the shadow of their worst nightmares."

His gaze slowly drifted up to her knees, and then her thighs. The soft white skin-it all looked so smooth. She watched him, marveling at how he seemed to memorize every detail of her. It made her feel so warm inside, to know that the sight of her body captivated his attention so much. When his gaze fell upon her pussy, he was taken aback. He cocked his head and met her gaze. She suddenly got self-conscious and sat up. "What? Is there something wrong?" He was staring at her bush, or more precisely. the lack thereof! There was no hair on her mons, just a thin strip of dark curly hair that started just above the hood of her clit, went up three inches, and stopped. He was totally confused. He had never seen any woman that had just a thin strip of hair down there. It was either all over and thick; or, if they were very young, not there yet, or just some fuzz. His head was cocked at an angle and his ears were fully forward, his forehead wrinkled as he tried to figure out why it looked the way it did. She saw his expression was one of confusion, not disgust as she had feared. She relaxed a little.
