"Gabriella, if you don't say it back and stop playing," he mugged and I laughed. "I'm not playing. Why?" I smiled looking up at him and he let out a deep sigh. "I love you because you're the best thing that's ever happened to me...because I was lost before you...because I can't go a second without thinking about you...because my mind goes foggy when I'm not around you...because there is nothing in this world, or any other, I wouldn't do for you...because I know you always got me...because you're my baby and all I'm ever gonna do is love you," he smiled kissing my temple ::: Gabriella Rae Mason is a dancer who moved from New York to LA to follow her dreams.

(Book 2) Amira and Rowan have been dating for almost a year. Their relationship has blossomed; it has flourished. The sex is great, communication is on point, and they seem to understand each other so well. But hardships are inevitable, and sometimes those hardships can make or break a relationship. Amira made the first move; she won Rowan over. Now he's invested. He's consumed, and he doesn't want to ever let her go. Can she handle the pressure? Can she withstand the knowledge of his past? Can she overcome her own faults and insecurities? And can she stick by Rowan's side through their toughest times? After all, it takes a lot more than just love to maintain a relationship. I RECOMMEND READING THE FIRST BOOK (RAGE) TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THIS ONE. BOOK 1 WAS MOSTLY BDSM. BOOK 2 IS MORE OF A SHORT STORY, AND IT FOCUSES MORE ON THE MAIN CHARACTERS' RELATIONSHIP. ⚠️ Read at your own discretion. This book is MATURE, and it's rated 18+ for crude language, intense BDSM scenarios, descriptive sex scenes, triggering content, and taboo topics ⚠️ Copyright ©️ 2023 JLB_18
