Poisoned By Desire

What force of nature is more dangerous than love? Desire. Desire is just as potent as love but more deadly and the high is so addictive that most would say the consequences are worth it. Most except for Julian Doyle. He's guilty of both Love and Desire, and because of this recklessness, he has watched the world change for over a century. Cion has lived her life with the knowledge that the world is not as it seems. Sprites, ghosts, and demons live among the masses, and she is one of the 'lucky' few to know it. Cion and Julien are two completely different supernatural beings. Will they be able to withstand the forces trying to keep them apart? *** To kiss him sober is out of my league. But somehow with all these excuses, I still close my eyes and brace for him. I want to feel the heat of his lips but feel nothing. His breath is on my ear as he mutters, "Your name is beautiful." Poisoned by Desire is created by Lydia Clarke, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Cionna’s POV

Park

What the hell is wrong with me? I’m out at the park trying to practice my battle magic and I’m only getting sparks. I’ve been here for an hour and I still haven’t been able to form a full attack. I need my full strength and stamina if I’m going to make this spell work properly.

I didn’t understand the shortage. I took an enriching spiritual bath every night since Julien and have been meditating my face off. Why wasn’t it working?! I scream in resentment of my own body. The outburst sent a thick silver lightning strike into the air.

“Finally!” I wail.

I summon my target and breathe deeply before portalling it far away from myself. I focus my energy and set my eyes on the center of its chest. When I exhale, I force a blast of pure energy out into the field. I watch it fly at neck-break speed. I half-smile and hope that it reaches, but it falls just shy of hitting the target.
