Light It Up Like A Dynamite Novels & Stories

I badly want to bite it, but this man's not letting me. “Zev, what are we doing?” I asked in frustration. I crossed my arms and played with the hem of my shirt. I'm not used to this kind of set-up. With Derone, it's just lips and no talk, no clothes and more skin. But with Zev, he makes me realize how I'm willingly throwing myself to Derone and that I should be ashamed of what I'm doing. He grabbed the cigarette stick that was resting on his ear and dug something out of his pocket. A lighter.

I let out a battle cry and I rise to my feet, lift my head to the sky, let my body catch on fire. And light these bitches up.

He gives me a deep exhale, “No. Chandelier. No.” “No Christmas Pop too? Oh, okay.” I swipe up the level to increase the blinking speed of the light by ten times, “You’ll definitely kill it with just this.” Jamie rolls his eyes, “Whatever.” In a rush he puts up a pair of red sunglasses and gets down the car, not waiting for me to cheer for him, “Good luck, Jamie!”

An expensive gold one with his initials engraved on it. How fitting that his own lighter would burn his house down. Caroline looked at me from down the hall. Our eyes met. She nodded.

The energy crackles and snaps around me, and it’s as if the storm has become an extension of my will. The lightning strikes the ground between them, sending them sprawling, fear etched across their faces.

Damien moved instantly. The scientist activated the device. And the world exploded into silver light.

“Ethan, use your power! It’s the only way!” Ethan hesitated, knowing the toll it would take on him. But there was no other choice. He closed his eyes, centering on the energy inside him, summoning the light that had spared them recently.
