One of the (many) things I enjoy adding to my stories is symbolism.
Taytu, from Raw Desires, as an example, tends to touch her wrist decoration when she is thinking of her mother. The wrist decoration is a symbol of her mother and her culture.
The heart shape we currently attributed to romantic love is a symbol also. There are some heated (grins) discussions about the origin of the heart shape but we do KNOW it isn’t the shape of the heart in our chests. The heart shape has been used by so many people for so long, at this point of our existence, that it is viewed by many of us to represent love.
Love locks, as seen above on Punda Love Heart near the Queen Emma Bridge in Willemstad, Curaçao, also symbolize love. The lock conveys that this love is unbreakable. It is lasting.
Symbolism can really strengthen a story. I love using it!

Raw Desires
His human female is attempting to kill him.
This cyborg finds that adorable.
Raw, a K model cyborg, is one of the lucky warriors who has located his genetic match. He hears his human female’s voice over the communication lines and immediately processes she is his.
Winning her affections will be a greater challenge. Battle has always been Raw’s focus. The rough-and-tough warrior has no idea how to engage anyone’s tender emotions.
Fortunately, he isn’t alone in the universe. His unmatched male friends help him craft a plan.
All Raw has to do is relay a few unsettlingly sweet words to his female and give her the thoroughly unfunctional wall decoration he has obtained. He projects she will then jump into his big, strong arms and beg him to claim her.
Taytu isn’t jumping anywhere. She has one mission—kill every cyborg in existence.
The huge, handsome male traveling to meet with her is her first target. His rough hands, firm lips, and sparkling, energy-infused eyes won’t save him from her vengeance. She has trained vigorously for this moment, and she won’t fail at her assigned task.
The cyborg will die.
Raw Desires is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
