"The Caregiver and the Mob Boss" ❦ Avelina makes her money by taking care of those who can't take care of themselves. When she is handed a case about a man who had needed a personal caregiver, she accepts. One thing Avelina never anticipated was the dangerous lifestyle he lived. Not only that, but she didn't expect for him to be so incredibly good-looking. Adrik Zolotov, the Russian mobster that everyone called "Mad Hatter". His insanity and crave for blood left him the most feared man of all. All he wanted was power and those around him to fear him. For a man recently diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, everyone believed him to be emotionally incapable of ever loving anyone. . . Imagine their surprise when he meets Avelina. ❦ "Mr. Zolotov, I have to make sure you bathe before I leave. It's apart of my jobs protocol," she said softly. The truth was that he made her feel nervous. There was so much coldness and evil in his eyes, it left a chill to run down her spine. "Fine," he stated before walking over to his bathtub. Her eyes followed his movements as he pulled off his shirt causing her to lick her lips and quickly look away. She could hear the sound of more clothes falling onto the ground until the sound of water running littered her eardrums. "You assist when asked, isn't that right?" He asked. Slowly, she opened her eyes to see that he had already gotten into the shower. "Yes," Avelina answered. "Bathe me." ❦ Dangerously far from cliché

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.

It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it. If this is how being kissed feels like, then fuck, I've wasted a lot of time. ~^~^~^~ FEATURED ON: @Romance (Romantic Suspense) HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 Goodgirl, Darkpast #2 Badboy #5 Newadult

أنفاسي عالية، وشعري منتشر بشكل فوضوي على جسدي، وأركض بأقصى سرعتي في تلك الشوارع الفارغة. مظلمة ومخيفة ومرعبة. لكن كل هذا لم يخيفني بقدر ما أخافني من الهروب منه. ثوبي الأبيض، الذي يصل إلى ما تحت ركبتي، مملوء بالدماء التي تسيل من رأسي والجروح من يدي. كل هذا من تعذيب الإنسان الذي كان ينبغي أن يكون مصدراً للأمان. أمام أعين من يتسمو عائلتي. ركضت بكل سرعتي متجاهلة الألم في جسدي، بينما لم أكترث للألم في قدمي العارية. كل ما يتبادر إلى ذهني هو الكلمات. اهربي، اهربي، اسرع! لا تدعيهم يجدوك، سيقبضون عليك، ستعودي إلى ذلك الظلام والألم، سيعذبونك مرة أخرى! اهربي! فجأة وقفت متجمدة من الرعب عندما توقفت أمامي سيارة سوداء كبيرة، وبسرعة ودون أن أدرك شيئاً، خرج الشخص من تلك السيارة حتى لم ألاحظ من هو أو هويته! وبسبب سرعته اقترب مني وحملني على كتفه. ومن الصدمة والرعب لم أتكلم ولم أقاوم. إنتهى الأمر. لقد وجدني عدت للجحيم، أليس كذلك؟
