Christopher Young was a small child trapped in a grown man's body. He never seemed to get upset easily and always cracked random jokes at the most inconvenient times. He also was never a fan of commitment, he was known for flirting with girls and sleeping around. But all of that changes when he meets Dakota Foster. The roommate of one of his many hoes'. Dakota was a closed-off person who was cautious about letting people into her life, particularly following her last breakup. A relationship that completely altered her and kept her awake at night. However, she feels as though the world fled open when she meets Chris. Where miscommunication ends and the two of them begin is a source of intense tension that neither of them can ignore. Due to their denial, Chris couldn't understand why Dakota was taking over his thoughts, and Dakota knew it was wrong to feel anything for her friend's crush. What happens when they are battling to suppress their emotions? What happens if their lack of communication is their own fault? Could their potential future together be ruined by the fault?

Forced into a marriage neither of them wanted, a fierce Greek mafia princess and a ruthless Sicilian underboss must navigate a storm of power, passion, and betrayal-only to discover that their greatest battle might be against their own hearts. *** They hated each other from the moment they met, but little did they know, they were destined to be together. Millicent Rhea Darmos: Princess of the Greek Mafia. At 25 years old, she's established herself as a self proclaimed boss bitch, running her own publishing company. But now it's time she fulfils her duty to her family's organisation. It's time she gets married. Costantino Salvatore Accardi: Underboss and Heir to the Sicilian Mafia. At 28 years old, he has no interest in settling down-he already has it all. He believes in family above all, so why bring in an outsider? Yet, after a strange string of events, the two of them find themselves thrust into married life. It's full of chaos, drama and all kinds of tension. The question is, how do they survive their marriage and the storm that follows? *** "I've never kissed anyone." My voice trembled with a tinge of vulnerability - something I hated. But Costa didn't seem to mind that I was nervous or anxious. "Good. You're mine." He spoke so seriously, without a flicker of doubt as he took my hand in his. "So you want it be special, principessa?" "Every girl's first kiss is special." I whispered, watching as he brought my hand up to his lips. "I only care about yours."

---------- (Sneak peak) "Oh my beautiful Fugl" he said as his finger tucked away a stray strand from my face. (Fugl = Bird) I still looked away from him, pissed. "Don't look away from me. This is a warning" And I ignored it. Soon, he grabbed me neck with one hand and waist from another and pulled me on his lap. My eyes widened at the position that I was in. My legs on the either side of his waist and my body on his lap. My core touch his and he was hard. He thrusted his hips upwards and I gasped at the feeling. "Don't ignore me love. I mean it, there will be consequences" and with that his hand shifted from my waist to under my skirt and he cupped my pussy, and I bit my lip. "Tsk" he said as his mouth attached to mine and his finger shifted my pantie aside and inserted his big finger inside my wet pussy. "My beautiful whore, look at you, all wet. This is what I mean when I say you are mine" And I kept my head on his shoulders as he moved his finger. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Read for the smut actually. <3
