"I don't let anyone touch me, but you - fuck, I feel like the only way I can breathe is with your hands on me." ••• Adira Vitale is a single mother with a past she can't outrun and secrets that could kill. She's spent years keeping her daughter safe, doing whatever it takes to stay ahead of the storm. But when a misplaced AirPod case leads her straight into the path of Italy's most dangerous criminal, everything changes. Tommaso Ricci doesn't do connection. He doesn't do softness. And he sure as hell doesn't do touch-not without the urge to break something. Silent, brutal, and untouchable, Tommaso lives in a world of violence and control. The last thing he expects is a stubborn, beautiful woman barging into his life... with a toddler on her hip and darkness behind her eyes. She needs protection. He needs something he can't name. And neither of them is ready for the fire that's about to ignite.

𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐚 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠 is the kind of girl who makes friends everywhere she goes. She loves flowers, romance novels, the color yellow, and probably gets way too excited over the little things. Always having a smile on her face, she sees the world in colour. 𝐊𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐬 is pretty much her complete opposite. He's covered in tattoos, spends his nights fighting underground, and has the kind of looks that make people stare. He's confident, stubborn, and not exactly known for being sweet. Except when it comes to Nora. She's his best friend's little sister, which makes her completely off-limits. He knows that. She knows that. So why does it feel like neither of them cares? The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to pretend there's nothing between them. And Kaden might just be willing to break every rule to find out what happens when they stop pretending. ──────────────────── • adult contemporary romance • friends to lovers • brother's best friend BEST RANKING: #1 in Brother's best friend #1 in Friendswithbenefits #2 in Sunshine #6 in Boxer #7 in Vacation #8 in Slowburn COPYRIGHT 2022©️ vixenelle - all rights reserved

{𝘉𝘖𝘖𝘒 𝘖𝘕𝘌 𝘖𝘍 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘓𝘖𝘝𝘌𝘓𝘌𝘚𝘚 𝘛𝘙𝘐𝘓𝘖𝘎𝘠} Ria Romano knew hurt like the back of her hand. She was dealt her fair share of bad cards, more than anyone so young should have to face. A cynical girl riddled with the remnants of her past, a shattered sort of soul. She concealed like it was second nature; her instinct being to suppress. She'd offer you a cigarette with a shrug while you were crying because she never was too great with affection. She didn't smile so often but when she did and it was directed at you, you'd never feel such satisfaction. I was told Aria preferred to be alone, isolated; clouding her mind with inhales of her cigarette and drowning it in alcohol. Until she was dealt her good card, out of the pack of bad. They had a love beautiful enough to last a lifetime, the type directors desire to capture and authors aspire to write. Two souls, shattered by the cruelty of the world time and time again with flames that rekindled each others. They were each other's oxygen. They breathed life back into each other, those two insomniacs. <3

It's too soon, embarrassingly soon. "Don't you fucking dare." His voice is hard, demeaning, and that alone makes my insides tighten further. The pressure becoming unbearable. Ethan's hand grabs my wet hair, twirling it around his hand before he pulls me up by it, and I wince slightly before sighing as my back hits his chest, his cock still buried into me. He palms my breasts, my nipples hardening further, and he rolls my right one between his fingers before pinching it, and I whine at the feeling. Dickhead. "Cum for me right now, Francesca, or else."

His tongue sweeps into my mouth, and I moan, my knees going weak. But he doesn't let me fall. His arms wrap around my waist, holding me up, grounding me, anchoring me to him. The rain pours down around us, but all I feel is heat, his body pressed against mine and his hands in my hair, on my back, everywhere.
