~This book is currently finished but is ongoing for editing and changes~ I continue to look at him and his dark, blue eyes were burning through me, maintaining contact with mine as they didn't dare move away. He sure knows how to hold contact. My body was burning, every inch of it, I could feel it. It was getting way too warm in here. This man was making me feel things I didn't even know that was capable.

One hand was holding my hip and his other hand was secured on my thigh, preventing me from falling down from the counter, his nose beginning to lightly touch the tip of mine as he lowered his forehead closer to me. The low part of my belly was aching him. I wanted him to do something. To fulfil my needs. I don't know where the hell the courage came from as the next two words fell out of me.

[ 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐒 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐘 #𝟑 ] Valentino Lars was the family's black sheep, the unpredictable younger brother to Damien, the infamous mafia boss. Where his brother moved with cold precision, Valentino moved like a storm-a mix of charm and danger, known for his love of fast cars, motorcycles and his recklessness that bordered on suicidal. He was the man who tested limits, who played with fire until it burned. Running his racing arena, he thrived in chaos, pulling in the crowd that came for the thrill but stayed to watch him dance with disaster. He was magnetic, trouble trailing him like a shadow he couldn't shake. Carlotta Fernández was everything Valentino was not: calculated, controlled, and unbreakable. Her family's reputation was bad, but Carlotta was the exception, carrying herself with a quiet urge. She was stunning, with rich brown skin, long curls, and a striking beauty that only hinted at the strength within. Behind the wheel, she was pure precision, her talent for racing more about mastery than mayhem. Carlotta allowed few into her world, and for those who did break past her icy walls, her loyalty was a fierce, unshakable bond. Their worlds should never have touched, each representing a path that warned against the other. But fate, in its twisted design, pulled them close, the beginning of a collision neither could avoid.
