Suddenly the space felt a lot smaller with him mere inches away. I found my body operating on its own accord the second he pushed himself off the wall and moved towards me till my back touched the wall. Staring up at him, I was meek unable to speak, “You don’t ever say shit like that and think you can just walk away,” he growled, the sound although usually associated with anger in this situation I knew it was different. I hadn’t been blind to the glances he passed my way since the exhibit and all throughout dinner such that whenever I reflect upon that time in the hallway where we were hidden away I couldn’t help but chastise myself for poking the beast and expecting not to get scathed. He bent his head down when he noticed my silence taking it as a sign to plunge head first into the pool of impurity when his head dipped between my shoulder and neck grazing the flesh with his teeth. Taking a whiff of my essence he groaned, “Your arousal is fucking killing me, love.” I reached up tracing the fabric of his shirt as the tingles intensified upset that this barrier separated me from touching his skin such that I wound up gripping it in response to the feel of his rough hands settling on my hips. At this point my breaths came out short, the air fumbling within my lungs the second his teeth nipped my earlobe whilst he pressed his body even more against mine. “Boss…?” a low voice muttered into the abyss reaching us to make the man himself stiffen and lift up his head taking his warmth with him whilst keeping me close. He scowled eyeing the poor victim, taking a peak over his shoulder expecting to find Leo or Daniel; I instead saw the face of another man whom I had never seen before look nervously between us. “What?!” he barked tightening his hold on me when I attempted to remove his hands feeling a bit conscious and unwilling to draw attention to our rather questionable position but unlike me, Zeus didn’t give a damn. “We have a situation,” he replied keeping his eyes focused on the ground. He scurried away once he was dismissed; he sighed in frustration blinking a few times to calm himself down and reached out to run a hand gently through his hair. It was strange seeing him do it when seconds ago I was close to running my hand through the loose strands but questions began flying inside at what the situation was. He looked back down at me, his tongue poking out to lick his lower lip stirring a side to me that was slowly gaining a voice and identity of its own. Looking away feeling flushed I felt his fingers on my throat denying the chance I needed to breathe, “I have to go,” he whispered rubbing gentle circles as his eyes bore into mine, tearing down my armor and dismantling the chains with a statement that left me feeling like jelly whilst a stream formed between my thighs making me forget what situation needed to be handled when he whispered, “Make no mistake my little gazelle, I will eat you…”

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.

This new world's social structure made medieval feudalism seem progressive. Well, nothing a few hundred million dao oaths and a healthy dose of formation dao can't solve. This world would change, one cultivator at a time. --Not sure when I'll actually get around to putting out actual content yet as I'm still trying tk storyboard at the moment.

Except for the "prey" himself... Because of the secret cloaked deep in his body, embedded like a burned crest along his battered fists. The last combat style, rumored to be lethal to man, alien or God alike. For humanity, a last hope. All shouldered on who they desperately named "Mr Miracle". Worshipped and condemned in equal measures But for Raymond Terra, the only chance he has to not be eaten alive.

Walang nakapagsabi kay Rain Aldejar na nagbalik na pala mula sa States ang lalaking nagtapat sa kanya ng pag-ibig noong high school ngunit sinaktan lang niya. Kaya hindi siya nakapaghanda. Ni hindi niya na ito nakilala, at muntikan pang may mangyari sa kanila. Six years ago, idinikdik niya sa utak nito na hindi niya ito gusto at kailanman ay hindi magugustuhan. Pero ngayong malamig na ang pakikitungo nito sa kanya ay saka naman niya inaalala ang kanilang kahapon. She secretly missed him, but she would never admit it--over her dead body. Magkamatayan na, pero hinding-hindi siya magpapadala sa malulupit na mga halik nito. She would never give in to the temptation. She would never beg. Ysrael Gallardi had changed completely, both inside and out, in those six years since he left the country to heal his broken heart. Buong akala niya noon ay si Rain na ang babaeng nakatadhana para sa kanya, ngunit nagpapanggap lang pala itong mabait at may nararamdaman para sa kanya. She took him for granted, and he cursed the day she told him those mean, scathing words that had torn his heart to pieces. Isinumpa niyang lulunukin lahat ni Rain ang mga sinabi nito sa susunod nilang pagkikita. She hurt him, and he was going to make her either regret what she did, or beg for his forgiveness--preferrably on her knees, right in front of him. Syempre, walang gustong sumuko o magpatalo. Pero sa isang larong ang nakataya ay kanilang nag-aapoy na mga damdamin, dalawa lang ang maaaring maging resulta. Silang dalawa ang panalo, o silang dalawa ang talo. ~~~ *a temporary synopsis; subject to further changes depending on the flow of the story coz why not lol meow happy reading i guess*

"I stood there in unequivocal revelation, the lagging pain slowly catching up with me, but before I could release a fraction of the pain into my screaming, a bell rang, and suddenly, pilfered from my body was the ability to move. My face neutral and my muscles disabled as I fell face-first into the hard, scathing rock that lay unmoved before me." *** Imagine awakening in an environment you deemed unfamiliar, your back thrumming in pain, with your mind staying clear of how you ended up there or simply the moments that lead to your position. You try to find a way out and later realize that you can't even remember who you are; your memories purged, your identity unknown. It takes you a good amount of time, pain, and effort, and eventually you manage to gather tiny fragments of who you were along with the trauma of how you retrieved it, but it's okay, maybe it's all worth it as you finally make contact with another person. Turns out she was your best friend. Finally, it looks like all is turning up until you learn of all the inhumane things you've done in your past, things that evade your newfound morals, things that were so detrimental to society that when you hear the reason as to why you've been enduring such agony, you understand why. How many people did you even end up hurting? What did you do that was so bad, that it made millions wish the absolute worst of you? What will you do now?
