He's obsessed, insane even. He has to know her, watch her, touch her. She's his, and nothing will stop him. But she's smarter than he thinks.. ••• "You call me if he bothers you ever again, yeah?" "It's really nothing I-" he cuts me off "You'll call me." He says firmer "okay?" "Okay" I say softly, looking up at him. He's so fucking close to me. We just stand there for a moment and I'm having trouble remembering how to breathe. He leans closer, gently tilting my head up so that my eyes stay on him. "Good girl"

Céline is an expert at disappearing. After years of abuse, she has learned to make herself small, starving away the body that drew unwanted attention, hiding behind silence, perfecting invisibility. When her mother finally escapes and reunites with her first love-the Don of the Italian mafia and Céline's biological father-Céline is thrust into a world of impossible wealth, fiercely protective brothers, and power she doesn't yet understand. But she doesn't expect him. Perceptive, powerful, and devastatingly attractive, the heir to the Russian mafia sees past every defense she has built. Falling for the dangerous son of her father's ally means navigating a world where the greatest risk isn't being hurt again, it's finally letting herself be seen. Some loves are worth destroying yourself for. Some are worth learning to heal for instead.

He remained quiet as he observed my face. I noticed he was staring at my lips which I was busily biting in apprehension and then he moved his hand towards my lips gently tugging my lips away from my teeth. "I can bite better," he whispered. The statement was so random but it made me smile a little because it was so out of nowhere. The smile quickly disappeared when he started to lean into me. He stopped when our lips were almost touching, our breaths mixing together, but he didn't kiss me. My breathing was so rapid and my heart was thrashing in my chest. The bigger part of me wanted him to kiss me, *What a birthday it would be to just know what a kiss felt like*, but I also didn't want him to because... The bathroom door suddenly opened and someone walked in, "Noah," the voice was sultry. I snapped out of my momentary stupidity when I saw the girl in a towel. I didn't even realize it but I pushed him away and took a step back. I barely glimpsed at the frown on his face before turning to leave. He grabbed my arm and turned me away from the door, "Who said you could leave?" his voice was hard. "I- I want-" The remaining words went back down my throat as I noticed how mad he looked. "Get dressed and leave," he said to the girl, his gaze still pinned on me. "But I-" she started. "Leave, now!" he yelled. She didn't waste any time gathering her belongings and scampering out of the bedroom, leaving me to face his wrath. ******* Highest Rankings #1 Syndicate #3 Forced #4 Bwwm

After finding out where he works, she's determined to get him to speak, after all, he was the only one who she thought to be a bit strange. Little did she know he'd been watching her for months. Loving her from afar.
