The moment he first kissed me, I knew my life was forever changed. Arsenio Campione, leader of the Campione organized crime family, saved me, a broken girl who had escaped from a broken home. **** He moved up and sat on his knees between my legs. His hands gripped my hips. "I need you, Arsenio. Please," I begged. I knew he wanted this too, but he was hesitant. He wanted to make sure I was serious, and I was. I had never been so sure of anything. I wanted him. He tightened his hold on my bare hips. "I can't hold back anymore, Eloise. I need you, too." "I don't want you to hold back," I whispered against his lips. Disclaimer: I do not speak Italian. I translated English to Italian using Google Translate. Also, thanks @idemen-san for creating the cover!

"You shouldn't be here, chiquita. It's not safe for a girl to wander alone." I could feel his breath on the back of my neck, making me fear for my life. "I was trying to find my friend," I stammered, hoping he would let me go. He moved from behind me and stood directly in my line of sight. "You know I can't let you go after what you just saw?" he said, moving closer to me and wrapping his arm around my trembling body. His hand came up to my neck as he gently grabbed my hair, slowly tilting my head up. "Please don't hurt me," tears welled up in my eyes. He smirked. His face inches closer to mine, his lips almost touching my neck. "I'm not going to hurt you, yet." -- When Hazel Rodriguez meets Benito Martinez, the notorious gang leader of one of the most dangerous gangs in town, her world seems to turn upside down.
