What the fuck? What the fuck!
Did I really just do that?
I'm practically running across campus to the parking garage where I left my car. I left Jace just standing there. I couldn't tell him what that was. Yeah, that was my ex-boyfriend and I was jealous after seeing him with another girl when I stalked his social media last night and I just wanted to get back at him a little. That would have sounded fucking pathetic.
Now Jace, this over-protective assistant coach, he's going to hound me about it at practice on Friday. I should call out sick. Hell, I should quit the team altogether.
I can barely stand myself. Who am I? I used to be so confident. I was never jealous. That is until Eric proved to me that I really can't trust anyone.
When I get back to the apartment, I take a quick shower and put on comfy clothes for the night. Bethany has leftover chicken tacos for me in the fridge. She loves to cook and she makes sure to make enough for me so that when I get home from practice I have something of substance to eat. Another reason why I love living with this girl.
I can't stand cooking. But according to Bethany, getting fast food every night is poison for my body. I always give her some money for groceries.
After I stuff my face, I retreat to my bedroom, closing and locking the door. Bethany is at the library, but I want full privacy in case she comes home before midnight. I mean, that girl can stay at the library until tomorrow morning if she wanted to. But I need to get in the zone.
I flop onto my bed and open up the Lust Me app. I set up my profile last night with my picture and bio and all that information. But now it's time for the real challenge. Finding the perfect man with the perfect dick.
Wow, that sounds vulgar.
But that's my mission. I'm not looking to fall in love. I'm looking for someone to give me an earth-shaking, mind-blowing, screaming orgasm. So, who will be the lucky guy?

Musical Land Trilogy
In an alternate universe where famous historical figures are all living in one era and musicals are their every day life, fourteen-year-old Marie Curie has been told that following her passion in science will lead to a future of flipping burgers and waiting tables. As hard as she tries, the arts remain an enigma to her. She is selected to attend Presley High, one of the most prestigious schools in the city, as part of a social experiment to help her grades. With budding geniuses all around her, she feels doomed to be forever an outcast. However, when she stumbles upon a secret which shakes the foundation of Musical Land, she realizes targets from bullies aren't as terrifying as targets from the president of the city. **This is a historical (fan)fiction, so technically I don't own these characters/real life humans. And I also take creative liberties with them, so they're not exactly who they are in real life, but that's what makes it fun!** Chapters every Tuesday and Thursday
8 607Flesh Forger
Born a bit too late to explore the world, yet far too early to explore space, Graham Lattem is your average 61 year old man - if a little wanderlust filled. That being said, he has a happy home, loving wife, children who check up on him, and a decent retirement fund to live out his golden years modestly. Then it happens. [System Initialization Commencing…] A trick of the light, surely. [Planetary Merger Protocol 331 Enabled] Rumbling can be heard in the distance. Shouts. Cries of anguish. A horrible, ear numbing crashing sound. An earthquake. A hole opens in the middle of his home, and our protagonist falls in as a swirling vortex consumes him. Mountains as far as the eye can see greet Graham as he opens his eyes. Well, and more glowing words: [Welcome To The Macrocosm] [Good Luck] Far away from his family in a world hell-bent on his demise, how will this old, arthritis ridden man survive? Did I mention he has cancer? ===================================================================== Aiming for at least 1 chapter every other day, though there is a very big chance it will more oftentimes than not be more than that! This is my first ever story. One that I’ve been wanting to write for awhile. The system is most definitely inspired by Randidly Ghosthound and The New World, but I promise the story is different! Please point out any mistakes, as I’d love to improve! Also the warnings are just to let me experiment.
8 204Steps of the Immortal Tree
Evan stood on a hill, staring calmly at the gate of his former clan. A crowd waited behind him, some eyeing the clan in an unresigned manner, others looking at their spiritual support. Some of the young children shivered at the gnawing cold. Wind howled in his ears, seemingly deploring his fate. A silvery cloud drifted over the mountains surrounding the compound. The roar of a river could be heard from underneath its frozen surface. He had reincarnated many years ago. Hailed as a prodigy from his youngest age, Evan had seemingly tread on a path to invincibility. He had gotten married with his childhood sweetheart and had cultivated with a group of friends, forming a considerable power of his own. Yet now, here he was, devoid of any path to move forward, with his energy locus destroyed. His wife was dead and his branch had been kicked out of the clan. He looked at his progeny that had been entrusted to him. The baby seemed content in his father’s strong arms, too young to understand anything but the warmth of the father’s beating heart. Signaling to the people behind him, he turned around and the procession gradually disappeared in the distance, as the sun gradually set and the stars acted as a guide. --- Author-san here. I originally started this novel on another account, but lost the login information for it, so I'll be restarting this story here. Thanks for understanding! This is my first fiction, so I appreciate any and all feedback! (^^) The cover picture is by Yuji Himukai (as pointed out by Truis). I found it on the internet. Please contact me if you want to have it taken down. If anyone is interested in drawing a cover, send it to me. I'll put it up if I feel it represents the book well, with your name in the credits.
