"What...are ...you doing Mr. Professor?" She asked stuttering.
"I know what I'm doing Ms. Khanna," He smirked to her. He took hold of her hands and placed them above her head.
"Leave me," She said and struggled from his tight grip but alas no use. He stood there like a rock.
"I won't leave you. What will you do Miss?" He queried.
"I will complain to principal," She emphasised. With that he came close to her and crashed his lips with her.
She was shocked for a moment. She stood like a st...

“W-what are you doing?” I whisper, but the look in his eyes says it all.
“Do you feel that?” He asks.
It takes a second, but then I feel tiny sparks racing along my skin as his hand slips under my jacket and over my skin. I gasp, and then his lips are on mine.

Cassandra Wolfe; A lone wolf.
Literally.
Her one and only friend was... well, her inner self; more to the point, her inner wolf Evangeline, who loved to regale Cassie with Greek mythology stories, and fairytales about werewolf packs far, far away.

Gerard sto...

"Despite your protests look at you now." He smirked bending down and placing a kiss on my neck. "In the end you easily succumbed to me without any protest."
"I don't want to die." I responded as he continued to trail small butterfly kisses along my throat, all the while lightly grazing his sharp canines against it.
"Your mouth is very dishonest woman." He said lifting and staring into my eyes. "It says no while your body says yes."
"You're wrong." I whispered.
"Am I now?" He spoke agai...

"Family is the most important thing, Eron."
I'm sick of hearing that phrase every day without qualm.
They seek to include me in the standard picture where the only thing that matters is the happiness of others; the happiness of those around you. It is typical to think that you should care about those who, according to the rules of modern society, love you the most.
