Avery's senior year is turned upside down when a kiss with her older brothers' best friend ignites a forbidden relationship tangled in danger, heartbreak, and family secrets that could destroy everything. *** "Aiden..." I shake my head, eyes fixed anywhere but the gorgeous man next to me. His hand grips my chin tightly, just enough to make me avert my eyes to his. "You know you want this as much as I fucking do. I want you to be mine. I want to be the one to hold you and kiss you the one you go to whenever you're happy or fucking sad. But let it be me, let me fucking show you that it should be me." He glares, jaw tensing. ...... ©hessaherophinelove

A spontaneous Friday night outing led Nova to a surprise destination: Ramiro's bed, the one person her brother can't stand- and the one who ignited a fire she can't seem to ignore.

| The Mafia Boss and His Submissive | BWWM #1: SINNER'S TRAP An unsuspecting flame in each other's life. One is continuously looking over their shoulder to ensure that they are on track for the future they have envisioned since they were a child. Despite the countless times they've been disappointed, they have all the love and understanding in the world - an enigma. Because of their own past, the other is barred from ever having what they crave. The majority of relationships are bound in transactionality and they yearn for more. Despite being served every conventional need on a platter, they are unable to obtain the one thing they want. Total opposites that fulfill the urges of the others paradox - they should take the chance. It should be easy? ----- He groans into my right ear, "Come on babygirl, beg for it." He takes his hands away, a bitter shriek of irritation rising from the pits of my stomach. With spread thighs and a dripping pussy, his hands grasped my straightened hair and pulled my head back. I couldn't grip onto anything with my hands suspended above my head and my feet held by restraints in the flooring. I was going mad. My weak pleasured cries falling on deaf ears. He kissed the exposed skin on my back, now covered in a small sheen of sweat barely holding up the bra he cut loose like a rope. A weak shriek escapes my mouth as he pinches my right nipple while playfully twisting the other. "Please. Fuck. Please." I start, but the words get stuck in my throat. A few seconds pass as though he expects me to elaborate. I could barely think. His fingers return to my pussy - slender and long; the ring finger softly stroked the one spot inside me that could send me over the edge crashing, while his thumb rubbed my clit in small circles. "You can do so much better babygirl. You want me to make you cum?" He asks, and is met with an immediate nod. "Then address me by my name and fucking beg for it like you mean it." ----- MATURE CONTENT. NOT EDITED

I saw the corner of his mouth twitch and before I could comprehend anything he tightened his hold on my throat, my mouth was already slightly open so he had the opportunity to shove a gun in my mouth. I tried to move back away from him but he tightened his hold and shove the gun farther down my throat causing me to make loud gurgling choking sounds, the taste of metal, fire and smoke spread into my taste buds causing me to gag, that's the same gun he had shot my father with. "Do you have trouble speaking? I'll help you talk my love, there must be something stuck in your throat?" He said shoving the gun deeper, by now the base of his pistol was pressed down against my lips as I choked loudly. I screamed and jumped in fright as he pulled the trigger. Nothing, No bullets were fired. The force of the gun shook my whole body. I gargled and shook my head no repeatedly, but he wasn't satisfied. he squeezed my throat and completely blocked my airway. By now I started panicking more as I could no longer breathe, what does he want me to say?? please just stop this. "I merry gyou" I somehow managed to gargle those words out hoping he hears them. My mouth tastes like metal and I could taste blood as well, the force of the gun being shoved down my throat scratched the inside of my mouth.

Alejandro is a ruthless Mafia leader who is used to getting everything he wants and more. Chy is a strong black woman who doesn't take crap from anyone and anything. What happens when the two meet? *** "Oh wait I think I do remember you, we met at Toris party right? You were the one who had a big ass ego." She snaps her fingers as if the memory is coming back to her. "Yea, that's right. Now I remember, how many I help you?" She smiles. I step forward gripping her throat tightly. "It seems you need a reminded of just how big my ego is Bella." I lean in and roughly bite her bottom lip with my teeth pulling on it. I expect her to back up but she doesn't, she stands her ground. She steps closer to me pressing her throat into my grip. She is always full of surprises, she is so enticing. #8 in black woman 10/15/21 #4 in Bwwm 10/21/21 #2 in black girl 10/23/21 #2 in killing 01/07/2022

"what on earth are you doing, miss. johnson?" "fixing my lashes," "and why, miss. johnson, are you fixing them as yushikamov's men are currently fucking firing at us?" "so that if i die, at least i die cute," ------------- Angel Johnson is an aspiring actress. Okay, maybe not the most successful one, but the emphasis is on the 'aspiring'. When a failed audition for an action blockbuster results in the most unexpected proposition, Angel finds herself in a rather awkward position, staring into the deep green eyes of the hottest man she had ever seen. (We're talking six foot four, 180 lbs of pure muscle, chiselled jaw and cheekbones, the works.) And his charcoal Berreta M9 handgun pointed right at her temple. Romantically daring, isn't it? No, quite literally. His name is Lukas Daring and just a few minutes with Angel Johnson and hers becomes a name he just can't stop thinking about. So in exchange for not putting a bullet in her pretty, little head (even though there have been many, many, many instances he had been itching to do so), he offers her a summer job as his assistant. What? Assassins need administrative work done too. Angel would be getting terrific benefits too; a sweet bi-weekly pay-check (assuming she is alive to collect it), unlimited employee (getaway) cars, a cutthroat work environment and worldwide health benefits that cover everything from mosquito bites to bullets. And what other way to learn how to kick ass in an action movie than from a real-life assassin? It all seems pretty straightforward on paper, but with an overpopulation-concerned villain, hit jobs that mysteriously go awry and the fact that Angel and Daring can never seem to agree on anything, Angel has one summer to kill it at her job, or, well, you get the point. This is one summer job to die for. BOOK ONE OF THE TRAGIC LOVERS SERIES | COPYRIGHT © MARIEDILLBOOKS
