He used to bully her. Now he owns her. When Alessia Romano walked into her new job at De Luca Enterprises, the last face she expected to see was his-Giovanni De Luca, the rich, sadistic bastard who tormented her in college... and the man who now controls her career, her body, and her every breath. Worse? He's not just a billionaire CEO. He's the boss of the Italian Mafia-and he's been waiting for her. Giovanni doesn't just want Alessia under his command-he wants her on her knees, begging, branded, and broken in all the ways only he can deliver. And when she resists, he doesn't fire her. He cages her. The tension is unbearable. The sex? Rough, possessive, and addictive. He spanks. He binds. He whispers filth in Italian while she moans into silk sheets. And despite her defiance, her hate, her fear-her body keeps surrendering. But Alessia is no longer the scared girl from college. She's smarter. Angrier. And dangerously close to falling in love with the devil who's tying her wrists and stealing her soul. In a world of secrets, bullets, and obsession, love isn't safe. It's a weapon. WARNING ⚠️ This story is extremely erotic If that's not your scene then please don't read But if you love dark erotica then you'll love this novel

*You are mine and the world will know it.* She was supposed to be just a stripper, right? But then why did his heart skip a beat when she sat on his lap and pulled him down, gripping his tie? He was a mafia king. Everyone was scared of him, feared him. But this woman was different. She walked to him and sat on his lap, fearless-or maybe just foolish. When he looked into her eyes, his heart skipped a beat again. Those ocean-blue eyes looked beautiful but too hard to read. Suddenly, he wanted to drown in them. In that moment, he knew she was his uncharted territory, and he was going to make every man regret trying to touch her ever again. But it wasn't always easy, and he knew it. She was fire, and he could get burned. But he was obsessed with her, and he would make her his.

❝Two dragons and their dirty little plaything.❞ I didn't have much before the war. Just a name, a half-broken past, and kraken scars that burn every time I breathe. The war didn't break me-it just left marks that never healed. Now, I scrape by in the Banished Realm doing what I must to survive-petty crimes, quiet getaways, keeping my head low and my secrets buried. It's barely enough. Until desperation pushes me into a mission I can't afford to refuse. One risky job. One promised payout. One brutal trap I never saw coming. Framed for a crime I didn't commit, I'm dragged into the dungeons of the Banished Kings. A mated pair-ancient, ruthless, and sinfully beautiful. They claim they want answers. But the way they circle me, the way their eyes linger on my scars and the fire beneath my skin... it's not just the truth they crave. I have a secret they can never uncover. Because if they do, they won't destroy me. They'll devour me-mind, body, and soul. And I don't know if I'll beg them to stop... or to never stop at all.

Life doesn't always crumble with thunder. Sometimes, it falls apart quietly - like sand slipping through your fingers before you realize it's gone. Two years after my dad died, I thought I was finally learning how to breathe again. Goa still smelled like him - sea salt, rain, and Sunday mornings. I was supposed to start a new school year there, pretending I was fine. But life had other plans. One plane ticket later, I'm being dragged to Mumbai - a city that never sleeps, that never cares - where my mom says I'll have a fresh start. Fresh. Right. They call it The Royal Academy. The most elite school in Mumbai - shiny, perfect, untouchable. What they don't say is that it's a jungle dressed in designer uniforms. And at the top of the food chain? The Royals. Four of them. Rich. Powerful. Beautiful. Dangerous. Everyone either fears them or worships them - sometimes both. And then there's him. Their leader. The one with eyes sharp enough to cut through your soul and a smile that feels like a warning. He's not just another spoiled boy playing king. He's something else - something darker. He moves like he owns the world and looks at me like he's already claimed me. He says he hates the new girl, yet somehow, I can feel his gaze every time I breathe. There's something magnetic about his cruelty, something I should run from - but don't. Because every time he steps closer, the part of me that still misses my father's goodness wants to resist... and the part of me that's broken just wants to burn. They say hell is empty. Maybe that's because the devil decided to enroll at my school. And somehow, he's chosen me as his favorite sin. ************* This book is only for 18+ readers. It contains mature content.
