Her full lips frowned softly but her eyes were filled with amusement. She knew she couldn't beat me, not at this game. "Are you quitting? Are you a quitter?" I mocked getting under her skin. Her lips twitched before she pursed them tightly. The blues of her eyes deepened and she threw me a dangerous smirk. She shuffled and pulled off one of her sandals. Fuck. So we're doing this the long way. She raised it in the air, dangling it off her finger before tossing it aside. She raised a brow at me, she challenged me. I knew I got under her skin.

"Guess you'll never know if that's true" I whispered, looking out the window. He tugged my hair backwards so my mouth was open and my head was tilted back, I tried to pull myself up but his grip was too strong. "Never talk to me like that again, or I will fuck you until you cannot walk" he said, i gulped as his hand released from my hair. And that's when I realised, I was stuck with the devil. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "After everything we've been through, all the moments that blood was spilled and when tears had fallen, right now we are laying here together." And that's what sums them up. There life wouldn't be the same if they had never met. She sacrificed family, friends, lovers, all for him.

Gonna wind you gonna up real tight, bring you to the edge again and again until you feel like you're gonna go insane, but I'm not gonna stop, not gonna stop until I want to, not until I think you deserve it. Gonna torture and punish you in the best way possible. And, do you wanna know the funny part about it? You're gonna love every fucking second of it." DYLAN DANE'S one night stand with legendary womanizer and bad boy KADEN KNIGHT should've been what it was suppose to be - a one night stand. His serial play boy ways left him satisfied and even had a "one time" rule wherein he never repeats a girl. His high speed lifestyle of drugs, hardcore sex, and violence deterred her from ever wanting more than just one night. These elements taken account for, she had not once considered that the passion of their night together would lead to his eventual breaking of that rule as well as hers of avoiding sin. Despite his covetous attempts, she refuses to give in, but to him, the chase of it all is more than half the fun.

He lit his cigarette, I lit nothing. He drank alcohol, I drank water. He smirked, I smiled. He didn't love me, I didn't love him. He and I together wouldn't last a day. And then the game started... He said he found me intriguing, unique, and interesting because I didn't swoon over him. "You and me Grey, let's play a game. We'll date and in three months time I promise you will fall for me. When you fall in love with me between that time span, I win. If in any way you were to win I'll give up all the alcohol, cigarettes, and player ways." It was a game I wasn't willing to lose, but all games had accidents and consequences. It takes a broken heart to know how to break a heart.

Before you read, here are some warnings! My grammars suck and this book makes no sense. It is so unorganized and so cringy. Totally not worth reading. But read if you wanted to. But I warn you! Also, there is barely any Mafia stuff in here. *edited by Grammarly* - After the death of her parents, Alexis Carter moved in and lived with her uncle.
