What happens when the mafia leader's daughter gets a bodyguard? "Is he mute?" I ask my dad. "No, he is not mute" my dad scoffs, "he just doesn't talk...never has even when he came to us, he also has never shown his full face" I look over to see that he has a black mask covering the bottom half of his face. I walk over to him and wave my hand in front of his face. "So you really don't talk huh?" No answer.... I roll my eyes and reach for his mask. He instantly grabs my wrists and pulls them by my sides. I stand there with wide eyes as he walks to the other side of my dad's office. "Well this is going to be fun"I mutter sarcastically.

"Get away from me Gunner." I started to walk away, dismissing Pierce and anything that came out of his smug lips. "Oh come on, Ambrosia don't make me beg." He teased, his intentions being nothing but cruel and to piss me off. His hand soon grabbed my arm, the grip tightening so hard that I had been scared it would start to go blue. Pierce wanted one thing and that was for me to fear him, and I wasn't giving it to him. Everyone walked around terrified to even been in his sight, and I refused to bow down to the almighty Pierce Gunner. Slowly turning around to face him, my eyes bored into his as I pursed my lips before I swallowed a lump in my throat "I'm not scared of you." "Oh really?" He tested, his grip tightening and eyes becoming so cold they looked black as his pupils widened into his iris "Then why do you look like you're about to piss yourself?" Ripping my arm out of his grip, "You know if your dick was half the size your personality is, you might actually be able to get some girls." With that he pushed me back upon the wall and pinned me back so I was restricted in every way. "Watch it Ambrosia, no wonder your dad passed you off to your brother." I immediately spit in his face, and he turned his head for a minute, clenching his jaw and wiping it off before turning his head to me and wrapping his hands around my neck and placing pressure on my wind pipes. I began to struggle to breathe, as I grasped and clawed at his hands to release. "Now Ambrosia, it's gonna go my way. Now I'll release you if you agree but if not I'll fucking ruin you." He pressed harder "Now what's it gonna be? Ride or Die." • COMPLETED • • Does contain smut •

Falling in love never scared Maddie Davis until she fell for the one boy she swore to stay away from forever. Season 1 of My Brother's Best Friend ********* Maddie Davis has been in love with her brother's best friend, Cameron Holden, since she was in the sixth grade. They used to be best friends, too, until he got into high school and became a version of himself she didn't even recognize. Everyone said he was a shoo-in for the NFL, and he let it get to his head. Right before high school started, he worked out until he was built like a sculpture, he got rid of his braces, and suddenly the girls fell at his feet. But that was fine because her middle school crush faded. And besides, even if she did think he was hot, Cameron wasn't someone she could go for even if she wanted to. Unless, of course, she found herself wound up with him in a closet during a game of blind seven minutes -- a closet so tiny and secretive that she would finally be able to act on the feelings she's tried so desperately to hide. But what were the odds of that happening? Content warning: This story contains mature sexual content and themes of bullying, sexual assault, violence, and explicit language.

Childhood best friends to enemies to lovers. Alina wants nothing to do with the rebellious bad boy, Liam Somner. Which is difficult, because he goes to her school. And lives on her street. And keeps showing up at her apartment, and sitting in her kitchen, smearing way too much cream cheese on his bagel and... refusing to wear a shirt. Alina and Liam have history. Too much of it, and it's messy and painful, and should be buried deep and forgotten. But Liam feels like there's unfinished business between them. Unfinished business, like finding the burial place of Liam's great grandfather. And saving Oscar, Alina's brother, from his depression. And that promise that Alina and Liam made at midnight, with legs dangling over the East River, to never leave the other behind. Liam and Alina's past is a tangled web of life debts, family secrets, betrayals, and forgotten promises. So even though she swears she hates him, when Alina realises Liam is awake late, she finds unexpected company in her enemy. Two insomniacs, wide awake in the city that never sleeps.
