Maximillian's hands cupped Julian's face, his thumbs tracing the soft contours of the latter's jaw. He leaned in, their breaths mingling in an exchange of pheromones. Julian felt the heat radiating from Maximillian's body, his own heart hammering a frantic rhythm against his ribs. Only a whisper of space separated their lips from each other.
Maximillian's voice was a husky sigh against Julian's mouth. "If you don't want this, push me away."
The challenge hung heavy in the air, but Julian met it head-on. "I do," he whispered, his voice thick with desire. In a single, fluid motion, he closed the distance, his lips meeting Maximillian's in a kiss that was both hesitant and hungry.

Ascension : Dawn Of The Third Evolution

Why was she so lonely?

Mia Sanders flinched when she heard the admonishing tone in her aunt's voice.

Mia's aunt, Rebecca, never liked her. Her dislike was apparent from the first day they met. While most adults disregarded Mia's presence, Aunt Rebecca sucked in a deep breath and tapped her foot loudly against the floor at her sight.

When she was small, Mia used to wonder what wrong she did to earn her aunt's displeasure.

When she grew up, she understood that she did not do anything wrong. It was her existence that grated on Aunt Rebecca's nerves.

Therefore, Mia stopped asking questions. She just apologized again and again, hoping that her aunt would like her a little bit more.

In fact, it was worse now that she was labeled a suicide risk patient.
