"Shhhh," he cut me off, his palms spreading on the revealed skin of my abdomen. His index fingers made their way into the waistband of my sweatpants as he pressed his front closer to my behind. "Don't shush m-" I tried to argue. "I said so," he stated, his tone going deeper as his hand went lower, this time to the waistband of my panties. I couldn't control my breathing anymore, more so as his teeth lightly grazed my neck. "So you better obey." ^^^^^^^ They say "A night in Vegas can change your life."

Another set of collections of romantic action between women with a twist of dark fantasy from inspiring myths or legends that who would have thought it could play like these. In another kind of Netherlands where realms of all creatures human or non-human coexist in one peaceful universe, a fall of disaster threatened the peace which forced each race to put up their bars. Worse case of it, it caused the division of the whole kingdom into three; Ciel Nocturne for the vampires, Singarti for werewolves, and SunItuski for the witches or anything in between. Those three powerful races of the night creatures went to wars and bloodbaths between their kinds and other races for whatever reason they might not come to terms with; causing foul creatures that could be compared to an epidemic called Fallen Rogues. It took many generations to live in the dark ages when myths and legends started to be born. Yet, before the new era began to expand, a trigger has to be pulled and each chosen and rightful trigger began to step up and attempt to restore the peace again. They called themselves DIP or the Death Inspector Protocol. They were the kind of group that’ll secure the safety of everyone. From the safety of innocent creatures; to keep an eye on any potential threats to their peace; to dealing with all unexplainable deaths that occur around their place. As they pulled the trigger the new era kept on expanding and moving forward, and the myths and legends turned into a story or books that were being stocked in historical museums, libraries, or old tales of old people. The DIP started by recruiting humans or non-humans to work together in one underground organization to maintain the balance and peace of all creatures. Their ground was only known by the head of the government chief of police from each creature. And here’s the story of how the myths and legends took part in the changes in each realm as the DIP or the Death Inspector Protocol came into the picture and play their part. Edited Version. Read and stay tune ^^. REMINDERS: Be reminded that this book came from the figment of my imagination. So, if you encountered familiar or similar names, places, or other structural description forms, they were only coincidence or maybe used as an ideal or inspiration to come up with such creative ideas that made me write these kinds of mixed-up or twisted stories. All Rights Reserved. [Author's Note: Something was off over this collection and it will take time to edit this one. I need to feel them so I could write them freely. My writer's block over this is totally severe & real hahaha XD In the meantime read my THE SCENTS ^^]
