❝Isabel, you're mine to touch, mine to love, and mine to fuck,❞ he whispers into my ear. ❝Xander, what are you doing?❞ ❝Claiming what I should've claimed a long time ago,❞ he looked into my eyes, lust filled his beautiful dark orbs. -------------------------------------------- Do you know what one of the worst pains you can experience is? To lose someone that you care about that you thought would be in your life forever. Xander Black and Isabel Davis used to be the bestest of friends as kids until Xander had to move away. All ties between them were cut and Isabel dreaded to know why he left her. Isabel couldn't stop the pain of losing Xander as a friend after years of growing up together but somehow she manages to move on with life with her new boyfriend, no doubt in a very toxic relationship with him. Her childhood crush suddenly appears back in town only this time he's here to stay and claim back what's his.

He's cold and cruel. She's sweet and selfless. They're hardly a match made in heaven. After all, the devil doesn't belong with an angel. But fate seems to choose otherwise.

"And you're addicted to trouble." "I am not addicted to you." "Yeah?" he murmurs, eyes dragging slowly over my face. "Then why do you shake every time I touch you?" ꨄꨄꨄ Alec Donovan is the kind of boy you cross the street to avoid. Bruised knuckles, a temper no one can control, and eyes that don't just look at you-they warn you. People don't get close to him. And if they do, they don't leave without damage. I was never supposed to be one of them. My life is planned-perfect grades, a future in design, expectations I can't break. My father calls boys distractions, and Alec Donovan is the worst kind. I called him Angel once. As a joke. Because he showed up when he shouldn't have, ruined my night, saved my life-and looked like he regretted both. The nickname should have died right after that. It didn't. Not when he kisses me just to shut me up. Not when he punches the boy who touched me wrong. Not when he looks at me like I'm something worth keeping. He doesn't ask. He takes-my space, my control, the life I thought I had planned. And the worst part? I don't stop him. Because when everything starts falling apart, he's there. Watching. Waiting. Protecting me in ways he never admits. Alec Donovan isn't a mistake. He's a warning. And the truth is- I'm not scared of him ruining me. I'm scared of how much I want him too. ꨄꨄꨄ "𝘏𝘌 𝘐𝘚 𝘔𝘠 𝘈𝘕𝘎𝘌𝘓... 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘭."

His fingers dug into my hips as he thrust deeper, the desk beneath me protesting with each movement. "Say it again," Adrian commanded, his gray eyes dark with possession. "Tell me who you belong to." "You," I gasped, my nails raking down his back. "Only you." "Good girl." --- She was forbidden. He couldn't resist. Maya Moretti-nineteen, innocent, and completely off-limits as his best friend's little sister. Adrian Marchetti-twenty-eight, ruthless crime boss known as "the Demon," and the last man she should want. One glance in her pink bedroom changed everything. One teddy bear gift sealed their fate. One touch ignited a fire neither could control. Now they're tangled in secret meetings, stolen moments, and an affair that could destroy everything. Her brother will never forgive the betrayal. His enemies are watching. And Maya is discovering that loving a dangerous man means embracing the darkness he brings. But when a Russian mobster threatens her life, Adrian must choose: let her go to keep her safe, or fight for the woman who made him believe in happy endings. Well, some rules are meant to be broken. Some loves are worth the consequences. ⚠️ Mature scene and language contain > <
