~ MATURE CONTENT 18+ ~ His hazel eyes were sharp fixed on me, his hands flat on the table. I flinched inwardly, he never looked at me that way, dark and angry. His eyes were usually soft caring and loving but not this. "So basically what you're saying, and correct me if I'm wrong, I'm the problem. Everyone knows what 'It's not you it's me' means", his voice was hard and accusing. I knew this was a bad idea to agree to see him. "Nate", I sighed uncomfortable, "I- I can't do this, us, I'm not ready" "You can't do this", he chuckled darkly shaking his head, "You're afraid, that's what you are", he leaned across the table his voice low and added only for my ears, "I remember you were more than ready when we made love and you came over and over again around my cock begging me to keep going" He leaned back in his seat, his hands going through his hair letting out a shaky breath. "We spent time together, laughed together, talked together... So this meant nothing to you? Was this a sick game to make me fall in love with you so that you could destroy me after you got me all wrapped up around your finger?" his voice broke, his eyes pleading with me to reconsider, to take him back. I was speechless, my voice gone, shaking, my hands gripping the burning mug full of camomille tea. I wasn't shaking because of anger, no, I was shaking because I was hurting him but I was also hurting myself.... ~~~~ This is the story of something that was supposed to be simple, easy, but strangely it turned out complicated. A love story between Annabelle and Nathaniel, both in their thirties, more alike than they think but sometimes love meets you and you have to choose whether to accept it, or reject it... ~~~~ #1 AMBW on 04.10.2026

And when danger targets what's his, he'll enforce omertà the only way he knows how: silently, brutally, without her ever knowing the bodies he buries to keep her safe. She's his salvation. He's her damnation. And once she's his, there's no escaping the don who broke his own code for her. A/N : This book has a lot of smut (they do it almost all the time) 🥲 and this book has a brand new story line

"I think we should stick to a professional relationship, clearly this friendship isn't doing us good." "I don't think I can do that." We were in a crowded room but his soft words never failed to reach me. "Why not?" His hands clenched at his side almost like he wanted to touch me but he held himself back clenching his jaw, his eyes never leaving mine. "Because not once did I ever see you as a friend Ellanore." "You said all you wanted was my time- what about that does not insinuate a friendship?" I questioned him. "If I clarify what I meant then it will all be over." His Adams Apple bobbed as he swallowed. "Not talking to you for 4 days was torturous as is, I don't think I can do forever." There it was, that tickle in my chest. That uncomfortable and suffocating feeling that honestly scares me more than it should. I lower my gaze because one more second of me staring into those eyes might lead me to make even more mistakes than I already have. "I'm sorry for putting you through that, Alecsandr." "If you're sorry-" He took another step closer, almost scaring my feet to retreat to safer grounds. "Then stop avoiding me Ella." ------------------------------------------------------------ Ellanore Presley has her sights set on making Partner at Dane's & Partners and claiming her rightful place at her family's table.
