Un dominateur expérimenté et une femme réservée et guindée. Une histoire d'amour et de passion se déroulant en dehors des cases de la société, si tout cela vous plaît, vous allez adorer Black and White tale. Black and White, ce n'était pas le nom des biscuits new-yorkais qui nous faisaient nous lécher les doigts à chaque fois qu'on les mangeait, mais d'un club bdsm très porté sur les chaînes et les entraves. Soumission, domination, libération y étaient les maîtres mots ou du moins c'était ce que mon frère m'avait dit quand il l'avait ouvert il y a des années avec deux de ses plus proches amis. Il avait prôné la dignité et une atmosphère où trouver le plaisir en toute liberté. Son monde, il m'en avait parlé, mais je m'étais toujours bouchée les oreilles sans vouloir l'écouter. Un murmure étant facile à ignorer ou du moins c'était ce que je pensais, sans soupçonner que le temps l'amplifierait et que la meilleure manière de me libérer serait d'être enchaînée.

Naomi has spent years being very specific about why she hates Kai Mercer. He's been in her life since she was old enough to remember, her brother's best friend, the one who always knew exactly where to push, who looked at her like she was something he'd already figured out. When she was sixteen, he made sure she knew it. She never forgot. Now she's broke, unemployed, and out of options, which means she's living in his apartment. Kai is her brother's captain, his best friend, the person Easton trusts above everyone. He's kept his distance for ten years for reasons Naomi doesn't know and he's never planned to tell her. Forced into the same space, the same mornings, the same late nights, the hate starts to feel like something else. Not softer...just different. The kind of different that's harder to ignore than anger ever was. She still hasn't forgiven him for what he did. He's never stopped carrying why he did it. Some things were always going to end up here. Warning: May contain profanity and sexual content.

HE FOUND HER ONCE, HE CAN DO IT AGAIN ***** I smiled up at Ellie as her legs spread around my head. Her breath was shaking as she stared down at me, clearly overwhelmed right now. Good. "Your pussy's very pretty," I said to her, hearing her breath shaking when I ran my thumb along her wetness. She moaned, arching her back. "It's all pink," I commented, sliding the wetness along ger clit. "Just look... all fresh and beautiful just for me." I smiled up at her. "I can't wait to destroy you." ***** He's not human, he is fallen. It had been five years since, Zane Kier, the lead of the Kaden Mafia, kidnapped me. I was only sixteen.

Without warning, I reached down and gave her ass a hard smack. "That's for spray painting my car," I said. Her breath hitched, and she bit her lip, trying to suppress a smile. "You're such a caveman." "Caveman? How about this?" I said, smacking her ass again, harder this time. She moaned, and I could feel her responding to me, her body betraying her defiance. 𝐄𝐒𝐌𝐄 I was raised to be perfect. The golden girl. The Kensington princess. Sheltered. Untouched. A good girl with a silver spoon and a diamond crown. But then there's 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐛 𝐅𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧. My stepbrother.

It's wrong. I should run. I should hate him. But when he says my name, low and dark, I don't think about stopping. I think about how deep I can fall. Because Caleb isn't just my first sin. He's the one I'll never escape. 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐁 She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. And I was the bastard here to tarnish it. 𝐄𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐚 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐨𝐧. Mummy's little princess. The golden girl.

"Let me be clear, piccola - you've unlocked a side of me I didn't know I had. And if you think you can keep me up all night, pushing boundaries, I'm going to show you exactly how ruthless I can be." My pulse quickened. "What do you mean?" I whispered, trying to steady my voice. His fingers slid down my side, tracing a slow, deliberate path. "The same way I close deals without mercy, I don't hold back in here." His eyes darkened, locking onto mine with fierce intensity. "You're not fragile. So I'm betting you can take more than a little roughness." I swallowed hard, words catching in my throat. "Good." His touch grew firmer, pressing into my skin with purpose. "But don't mistake that for lack of care." He softened just enough to make my breath hitch. "I want to break you down... but I'll cherish every part of you, even when you're trembling." His thumb brushed over a sensitive spot, sending heat flooding through me. "Now tell me, amore... what do you crave? What do you want me to push you into?" My voice came out shaky but honest. "Bondage. Control. Dirty words. Pain... edging..." A slow, satisfied smile spread over his lips. "You have no idea what you just invited."

She had good grades, was the kindest person you'd ever meet, and was breathtakingly beautiful. Everyone in ClearHills Academy loved her. But, there were also some who feared and despised her. Some people hated Mia because she was known as 'little miss perfect' and because she was claimed by the one who practically owned everything.

Ace King was someone not to mess with. His father owns a powerful company that he would soon take over. He was what parents told their kids not become. He was the bad boy of ClearHills Academy. Ever since Ace first laid eyes on her as kids, she was what he wanted most. Mia was the only person who he'd drop on his knees and bow down to, she was the only person he cared not to be feared by. She was the only who could tame him. - "What is it dear? Do you want something else?" his mother asked, looking down to see his attention focused on something. Or rather, someone. "Her," he said, pointing at a girl, sitting on a small wooden stool with a book in her hands. "I want her." - ❝Everyone knows she belongs to him.❞ - WARNING [ contains mature language ] Highest Ranking #1 - 01/27/18 | Billionaire #1 - 02/01/18 | Romance STARTED on November 7, 2017
