This is a one shot story entry I passed to a writing contest. "One-shot story contest entry: Serenity & Amore" The theme was "a moment that changed everything. " So I chose too write a scene where Kay and Diane(two Characters from a novel Idea I have) have an intimate talk together while they are in a middle of a ball.

Nixie Zamora never meant for her secret smut novel to become a prophecy. At twenty-one, the curvy nurse spends her nights writing filthy fantasies about a violet-eyed Bratva king who worships every soft inch she hates stretch marks kissed like battle scars, a gentle belly adored, thick thighs claimed without mercy. By day, she smiles through twelve-hour shifts at NewYork-Presbyterian, hiding the silver lines on her skin and the dreams no one was ever supposed to read. Until Dante Volkov does. The moment the ruthless pakhan finds The Bratva Salvation in a raided safehouse, he's obsessed. The woman who wrote him so perfectly every dark hunger, every tender obsession is real. And she's his. He stalks her from the shadows of his East 69th penthouse. Swaps phones in a blackout subway car. Sends money bouquets, a life-sized teddy with a hidden camera in its nose, and a promise she can't outrun: I'll enjoy the chase more than you can imagine... but it ends when I say it does. Now the monster she created is flesh and blood tall, tattooed, and lethal feeding her chocolate soufflé in a private booth while his hand slips under her scrubs and his voice growls against her ear: Three months to fall in love with me. If it's not enough, we add five. And five more. Until you're mine in every way you wrote. But Dante isn't the only danger. A cruel doctor's betrayal has left Nixie's heart raw, and a $230,000 bounty on Dante's head proves the world wants the pakhan dead. In a game of obsession, possession, and delicious ruin, one question remains: When the rabbit stops running... will she beg the wolf to keep her? A dark mafia romance with body worship, forced proximity, and a dangerously devoted anti-hero who will burn the world to claim his curvy queen.
