Blood & Neon

TheButterflyMind
She hides in the dark. He was born to find her. In the glittering underworld of Eros City, where secrets pulse beneath neon lights and the nights never sleep, Selene Marlowe walks the tightrope between predator and ghost. A vampire who feeds not just on blood, but on emotion, she survives by staying invisible—blending into the city’s chaos, avoiding both the vampire elite who once owned her and the humans who can never know what she is. But when Julian Cross—a golden boy with music in his soul and shadows in his blood—sees her under the sun, everything changes. He sees the shimmer of her skin. He feels the chill of her touch. And still, he wants her. Julian doesn’t know why he’s drawn to her, only that her presence lights him up from the inside. But the more time they spend together, the more Selene realizes there’s something different about him. His blood calls to her like no other—dangerous, addictive, forbidden. When a single taste binds them in a blood-deep connection neither understands, Selene’s carefully built world begins to crack. The Vampire Council wants her back. Julian’s bloodline hides a deadly secret. And the bond between them? It could set fire to the fragile peace holding Eros City together. Now, hunted by monsters in suits and haunted by truths buried in time, Selene and Julian must choose: Run. Rebel. Or burn together.

The Mafia's Merman

"What do you call it when I do this?" Nixxon asked and pressed his lips against Vernon's. Vernon froze, the tantalizing feeling of Nixxon's unexpected kiss rendering him speechless. "A kiss..." He whispered, breathless. "It feels good to kiss you, Vernon," Nixxon whispered and... kissed him again. *** Nixxon escaped his underwater kingdom, desperate to sever all ties to the ocean. But the human world wasn’t the freedom he imagined...it was another kind of cage. Captured by Vernon, a ruthless Mafia boss who mistook him for a spy or a weapon, Nixxon quickly realized that his survival depended on playing along and on how fast he could learn. At first, Vernon saw Nixxon as nothing more than a threat...a strange man with no past, no records, and an unnatural way of moving. But the more he interrogates him, the more frustratingly irresistible Nixxon becomes. He’s both naïve and sharp, defiant yet oddly fascinated by human life. And worst of all, he looks at Vernon like he’s something worth knowing. Forced to keep Nixxon close, Vernon becomes his reluctant guide to the human world...a human encyclopedia; answering innocent yet dangerous questions. What is hunger? Why do humans lie? What does it mean to love? But when Vernon finally uncovers the truth about Nixxon...who he is, what he is...he faces a choice: free the man he once saw as an enemy… or chain him tighter before he’s stolen away. Because something tells him Nixxon wasn’t just running from the ocean. Something worse is coming for him. And Vernon doesn’t know if he wants to save Nixxon… or keep him forever.
