"Growing up, my mother always told me one thing; bad company corrupted good morals. I didn't believe her, didn't believe those words she'd always said to me with such conviction. I'd always thought myself strong, always thought myself good enough to corrupt those bad morals. That was until I crossed paths with a man so lethal, a man so utterly consumed with darkness. And gradually, his words of poison would lace my system, dilute my sanity and leave me begging at his feet for more..." It was hate at first sight... I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE IMAGES USED IN THIS BOOK.

"Thank you." I answered while biting my lip again. I heard Damon groan as he stood up and walked towards me, getting down on his knees when he reached me. My legs slightly opened causing him to come closer, I suddenly felt his teeth pull out my lip from between my teeth. "I told you to stop biting that poor lip." He spoke against my lips. I felt my heartbeat quicken. It's now or never Janelle. He was about to get up but I pulled him back down with my hands on his jacket. He looked deep into my eyes seeking for permission so I crushed my cold lips against his warm ones. *** Warning: This story consists of sexual content and vulgar language! Enjoy❤️

I not losing my throne to this! don't pretend you didn't like.." I cut him off. "Oooh PLEASE you think that grape between your legs had any effect on me?" I lied "Grape?

"Be a good girl and hold still" Before I could respond he has turned me around and had one hand around my waist and one inching up my thigh.

||𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔖𝔲𝔯𝔯𝔬𝔤𝔞𝔱𝔢 𝔄𝔫𝔡 𝔐𝔬𝔟 𝔅𝔬𝔰𝔰|| [Preview] "Violet are you okay?" I felt like a bundle of nerves as he approached me. I responded with a stiff nod and attempted to make my way to the opposite side of the kitchen counter but was halted by a sudden but gentle grip on my arm. He spun me around and studied my face for any signs that may give him a reason for my fluttered state. As he examined me I kept my gaze elsewhere fearing that he might catch the glimpse of desire in my eyes. He grew tired of my attempt to dodge his gaze and held my chin firmly, allowing our eyes to meet. I felt my knees grow weak as his jade-green eyes started into my light brown orbs. "Vi?" His tone was as gentle as the caressing motion he was enacting on my cheek. I allowed the feeling of his knuckles running against my cheek to obstruct my better judgment. Long gone was the gnawing feeling of guilt that loomed over me stating the obvious, he was a married man that also happens to be my boss. --- --- --- Two opposites brought together in an attempt to please the ones they love develop a relationship that brings more adversity and tests than they could have ever imagined.
