One of the biggest confusions in what we call "love", is the way in which we interpret the other person. The human being is characterized by completing any lack of understanding or information, resorting to his useful imagination. A girl's greeting is a simple fact, empty, incomplete of features and details that offer no more than the mere image of the greeting. Even so, we perceive in it an irrefutable timbre of voice; an intensity and a weakness in its sound. We perceive certain characteristics of the personality of that person, although, nevertheless, these sources will never be enough for us; It will not be enough just to know the episode of the greeting, the courtesy, their education.

Chapter 1 Chapte 1

WELCOME TO THE LABYRINTH

There we were about to cross each other on that narrow sidewalk, she to one side and me to the other. We came closer and closer, aware of that encounter but indifferent to any sensation of attraction or rejection. We waited to meet on the same line to observe each other while that closeness became a new goodbye to distance us again. There she went behind my back while I walked away behind hers.

Suddenly, an immense ray of red light fell from the sky like a great column of fire while people turned to appreciate this strange phenomenon. As if it were only the song of the wind, a sudden and unwelcome charge of energy began to drag that girl towards the great light while I, responding to my sentimental reflexes, ran towards her as fast as possible to save her from any dangerous fate. that it was hidden in that immense column.

I jumped expeditiously while she looked at me with the hope that I would rescue her from that moment of helplessness; his body was already almost inside the flash. I took hold of her foot as subtly as possible as the column began to suck us both into that immense red glow.

When I noticed it, it was already too late, an endless adventure of challenges began there that I was not yet willing to discover.

The algae of the small lake radiated great waves and puddles towards those margins where its waters culminated. It was an immense cave, one of those of the old crusades, those whose absolute silence kept them rigid on the exorbitant balanced columns. Out of the little stream in that fearsome darkness, a beautiful oak tree grew into the vast heights of the gloom while curious rays of light, coming from nowhere, created a beautiful luminous effect on the various movements of the water. The ceiling seemed to be made up of gigantic stones threatening to fall from there at any moment, and yet they remained firm and stable.

Only the small sounds of water seeping through the leaves and algae that floated on the dark surface could be heard. The ripples moved more and more abruptly as the young man struggled to escape from those depths. She continued swimming towards the shore while I, shaking my hands a few meters from her, argued with my stubborn common sense to understand what was happening.

Hey, wait till I get out of the water!" I'll help you out too, I yelled, interrupted by the sound of splashing. I held on with both arms to the edges of that tank and finally withdrew from those waters. There she was, swimming around, trying to figure out what was going on in her turn. It was difficult for him to leave the prey, I still didn't understand why.

The girl avoided looking at me standing there in front of her, however, her faith only managed to run into my stubborn presence.

"I can't get out of the water!" she complained wrapped in algae and small waves. I was still leaning forward, reaching out with both hands to finally pull her out of there.

"How come you have clothes on?"

What do you say? I exclaimed somewhat confused. He was beginning to understand part of what was happening.

I have no clothes, I'm naked. I'm not going to get out of the water in these conditions, he explained to me in a very veer stile tone. The surprise on my face was mixed with a grotesque laugh. I stopped learning towards her body and, pondering on me.

After a few seconds, I turned to the pond a little more serious than before.

"Okay, I'm not leaving you here to catch pneumonia. I don't even know where we are and I'd rather we find out together.

-What are you doing? she asked as she watched me remove my sodden t-shirt and pants. I wrung out my clothes a little and left them by the shore, keeping only my underclothes. I moved a few meters away from that dam and turned around so that it finally came out of the water.

"He turns around while I'm getting dressed and I'll kill you!" she threatened behind me, letting the sound of small drops fall as she came out naked from the small lagoon.

" Seriously, please don't turn around, " she added shakily. I answered with a small laugh as that childish personality did not lose its obviousness even in this remarkable emergency situation.

I turned once I had heard the zipper on my pants close. The T-shirt was still soaking wet, and with the absence of a bra, much of her privacy was visible against the light. Ignoring my bare chest, I smiled heartily at her so she wouldn't feel so awkward after all.

"Well, my clothes look pretty good on you." I must say that, fortunately, we are almost the same height.

She was still serious, scared. We didn't know if we would ever see the surface or our planet again; somewhere safe, maybe. We still didn't know where we were and my calm caused the girl to fear more and more intensely. All that remained was to discover the path and, after it, our way out to freedom. "I don't understand how you're so calm. We are stuck here not knowing where we are or where to go she grumbled approaching me slowly.

She was suddenly in front of my eyes once again, only this time, she didn't disappear behind me.

Something told me that we would be trapped there for a long period of time.

She was wringing her hair unsteadily as I continued to watch her there dressed in my clothes. It was really confusing for me to treat her like that, as if she were the same person, around my tastes and my own personality.

"Why did you jump to rescue me?" she replied, setting off a series of questions that, unless it was all a long drive, she knew would never end. I took a few moments to answer him.

"I didn't know it was about you." I watched that light drag a girl into it and...

-Do not lie to me! We met a few seconds before and you knew perfectly that it was me, she interrupted, dissatisfied with my answer.

I extinguished the stillness of my face affirming that lie and, finally accepting the reality of that strange situation, I stared into her eyes ignoring that curious scenario.

"How bad could anything have happened between us to let you go just like that?" Nobody deserves to fall alone in this place.

"But you didn't know where that light led. We could have dead or even disintegrated , she assured.

"That's true, I didn't know that, but you know what?" I preferred to find out instead of staring, perplexed, doing absolutely nothing, just like the rest of the people. My answer was honest, although his face confirmed that mischief; I knew perfectly well why I had rescued her, and yet I needed to ask myself.

We both looked at the place from end to end. The cave seemed to have a kind of exit, a tunnel, in the distance. I was calculating each strategic point when, suddenly, an immense tremor once again awakened our senses.

Wow! What was that? -I exclaimed scared while she complained with a simple and sonorous "Ouch". Finally beginning to understand what was happening, I took her hand tightly. "Start running RIGHT NOW!!! I yelled at him excitedly, tugging at his arm to reach that tunnel that awaited us in the confines of that gloomy cave.

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
