I hid my gun underneath the bed because I don't fully trust him. He is unpredictable. I moaned, not able to hold back the way that made me feel and as I slowly recovered from it, he spanked me one last time before he pulled out. He stood up, grabbed his scattered clothes all over the room as he pointed a finger " Don't forget that, this doesn't change anything between us " I lifted myself unable to move due to the ache between my legs. He instantly pinned my naked body to the wall, a hand cupping my throat with a tight grip whilst he placed the other beside the left side of my head on the wall. I gasped with shock."You are mine to fuck.My enemy and mine alone." He demanded with a husky voice. He put on his black shirt and I take the chance to tug him, our lips inches apart. "If I am yours, then you are mine" I mumble slowly. He smiled at himself, his dimples appearing.

I lean in being careful to not dive the knife too far in his throat but enough for it to bleed and leave a scar. Our faces are inches apart and I decide to speak : "Looks like I won. I could end you right now if I wanted" "Then do it". His reply takes me off guard "No, I am smarter than that, it's still not the time. I am a patient woman" I mutter despite the fact that I didn't believe a word I just said... of course I wasn't a patient woman. He takes advantage of my lack of focus and throws me to the side. He was now on top with his hand pinning my wrists down and his blood dripping on my chest. "You can lie to everyone, even to yourself Valeria, but not to me" he panted ------------------------- If you like: - Mafia romances - Childhood friends to enemies to lovers - Slow burn - Nightmare trope - Dagger to the throat trope - One bed trope - Comforting scenes - Girl badass vs dominant men - Characters with tragic backstories - Hates everyone but her - 🌶🌶🌶 Then this book is for you !

"You don't deserve this", he breathed. His hand glided against my cheek as I slowly lean into it. "What do you mean?" "Nothing. Never mind", he brushes it away. I don't think too much of it, so instead I mumble against his hand. But what I didn't know is what he said was true. I didn't know that I really never deserved any of this. Because the person I trusted the most has been slowly breaking me. Lying to me. But not just a simple lie. It was a lie that could ruin me. Kill me and shatter my heart into a dozen little pieces. And this lie can even kill the life of another. He slowly ripped me piece by piece with a weapon that was made to end me.
