"Who do you belong to?" he growls in my ear, his voice sending shivers down my spine. His fingers tease me, skimming across my soaked panties, and every touch leaves me breathless. "You," I moan, my voice trembling. His dark eyes burn into mine, hungry and possessive. "Yes. You are MINE." --- Sebastian Lavadzza. Mysterious. Intense. Dangerous. The right-hand man to the mafia. And the man I can't live without. Or so I thought. Sometimes, the only way to save someone you love is to let them go. Sebastian has been my everything-the man who protected me, guided me, and touched me in ways no one else ever could. He knew me inside and out, every shiver, every secret. But love is complicated, and in my world, it's deadly. Now, I'm engaged to another man. A man who knows how much Sebastian means to me and has twisted that love into a weapon. If the truth about us ever comes out, Sebastian won't just lose me-he'll lose his life. Walking away is the hardest choice I've ever made. But it's for the best, isn't it? Because Sebastian has always said we were just a fling. Just passion. Nothing more. So why won't he let me go? Why is he fighting-for me, for us-when he claims he doesn't love me? In a world where betrayal lurks around every corner, where secrets and lies are currency, can love survive? Or will it destroy us both? --- Warning: Mature Content This story contains steamy, explicit scenes and is intended for readers 18+. If you're looking for passion, heartbreak, and a love worth risking everything for, dive in. But be warned: in this world, nothing is ever simple.

I want to tell you I was brave. I want to tell you that I used my brain and chose not to put myself in unkind situations. But I would be lying. My vision was clouded, and I made some irresponsible decisions. I couldn't help it.
