Callie Henderson is just looking to get through college with her best friend, Ginnie Martin. Once she can do that, she can get away from her emotionally abusive mother in Chicago and start a new life in New York. What she doesn't expect is her next door neighbor, Liam Carlisle, who saves her from a possessive ex-boyfriend, to fall in love with her. And she certainly didn't think she would fall in love with him either. ∙ "Don't move," he growls, grabbing my thighs as he buries himself even deeper between my legs and sending a rush of warm air over my cunt. I whimper, burying my fingers in his hair while he flicks his tongue around my clit before sucking it into his mouth. I rock gently on his face, earning a slap on my ass. "Liam- oh," I moan, rolling my hips forward making him smack me with every movement. I don't care if he does. It doesn't stop me. I just want to feel his tongue while he shoves it in and out of my pussy.

Before I could respond, his hand tightened slightly against my waist and suddenly his lips crashed against mine. The kiss stole the air from my lungs instantly. Fast. Desperate. Messy in the way fear sometimes becomes desperation. I froze completely, fingers instinctively gripping his shirt as his mouth moved against mine like he still hadn't recovered from the panic of almost losing me tonight. I should've pushed him away. I knew I should. And maybe I tried to. A little. "Richard-" But he followed immediately, one hand sliding behind my neck as he kissed me again, slower this time. Deeper. Somehow even more dangerous. A shaky breath escaped me before I could stop it as his thumb brushed lightly against my throat, his warmth surrounding me completely . And the worst part? I stopped resisting. Not because I fully understood what I was feeling. But because in that moment, I could feel everything inside that kiss. Fear. Relief. Obsession. The terrifying depth of what I meant to him. Richard finally pulled back just enough for our uneven breaths to mix together, his forehead nearly resting against mine. Then quietly- Dangerously soft- "Tell me to stop, babygirl." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Donaldson hated books almost as much as he hated people-until he heard Olivia Collins playing the piano at a ballroom and accidentally found one of her novels. Somewhere between her words and melodies, the feared mafia boss fell in love with a girl he barely knew. But when he finally decided to find her, he discovered something terrifying: someone else had already been watching her first.

❝Book 1 in the 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒 series He spreads my folds wide, his hungry mouth latching onto my clit, sucking hard and licking expertly. My hips move on their own, riding his face as soft whimpers escape me. Just when I think I can't take any more, he shoves three fingers inside my dripping pussy, stretching me in ways that make my head spin. My walls squeeze tightly around his digits and I grind against his hand, causing Luciano to slap my thigh. "Stay still." He commands. "Luciano, please," I plead, my voice shaky. "I can't take it anymore." "So fucking needy," he mutters, his breath hot against my folds. "Richard's a heavy sleeper, so I want to hear you scream for me while I'm eating this delicious pussy, 𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘢.❞ *** 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐬, a 18-year-old with a gentle nature, has always been the apple of her dad's eye.

❝Book 2 in the 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒 series "You're so wet," he groans, grinding his hips up in tight circles that hit something devastating inside me. "Dripping all over me, baby. 𝘊𝘢𝘻𝘻𝘰─you're making a mess."

❝Book 3 in the 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒 series His hand comes down hard on my ass─𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘱─then squeezes the flesh firmly, fingers digging in before releasing, the rhythm matching every sharp snap of his hips behind me. He leans forward over me, one hand braced beside mine on the counter, boxing me in. The other slides down from my waist to my hips, gripping and shifting me slightly, tilting me until I'm angled exactly how he wants. "You like this position, don't you?" He mutters roughly, adjusting me again, yanking my hips back into him so every thrust lands deeper and harder. "I like when you take control." I breathe, my voice shaky with heat.

He mutters, voice rough. ❞ *** After surviving the storms that nearly tore them apart, 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬 and 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐨 finally have what they've always wanted─each other, a home filled with love and the sweet sound of their baby boy's giggles.
