Feared in the streets. And when she finally tries to leave, he makes one thing clear-if he can't have her, nobody can. Then Da'joun steps in. Lowkey but dangerous. The one who sees through her pain. He never asked to fall for her-but now that he has, he'll do anything to protect her... even if that means killing for her. Now with a baby on the way, enemies circling, and Man-Man hunting her like prey-every moment is borrowed time. This ain't just a love story... It's survival. How far would you go to protect the one you love... when love itself could get you killed?

He scoffed, " Ion even be wanting to argue wit you, you just like starting shit." I scrunched up my nose, " Me? Half of the time you're the one starting stuff. It's always you, Miguel." He says nothing, only looking at me as if I had six heads. Sighing Frustratingly, I throw my hands up. " You know what? Forget it." I said, chuckling bitterly. I grab Eudora's jacket from the chair, but he grabbed my wrist. I narrowed my eyes at him. " Let go," I demanded. He shook his head, standing up to his full height. " No, you not goin anywhere." He says in a low voice. " Why? I'm trying to have a conversation with you but it's clear that I'm taking up your time, so I'm done. The only reason I wanted to talk was for the sake of the kids, but you know what? You can go to hell. I can't even believe I agreed to this damn play date anyway, Now let me go." I snapped, pulling at my wrist again. " We not done until I say we are," Miguel said calmly, keeping a firm grip on my wrist. Before I could control myself, My hand reached up and slapped him across the face, the noise echoing off the walls. " Fuck you," I spat. _____________________________________ Previously known as " Take a shot for me" Written in 2022.

"You still mad at me?" Milan doesn't answer. She can't-not when Mister Brax's lips are at her neck, his hands gripping her waist like he dares her to push him away. She should. She swore she would. But then he's tilting her chin up, watching her with that slow, knowing smirk. "Lemme make it up to you." She hates how easy it is to let him. Hates how good he feels when he lifts her onto the counter, sliding between her legs like he belongs there. "Missed this," he murmurs, trailing kisses down her throat. She should stop him. Should remind him that she doesn't do second chances. But when his fingers trace slow circles against her skin, when his mouth brushes just low enough to make her gasp- Milan realizes she doesn't want to stop him at all. She knows better than to fall for Mister Brax again. But with hands like that, a voice like that...she's about to make another bad decision. And this time? It might ruin her Milan King has mastered the art of being untouchable : top-tier lawyer, penthouse apartment, amazing friends and a life so structured it could double as a power point presentation. But when she crosses paths with an old flame-a man she had met at work , who left for a new opportunity and remained her "what if"-the spark reignites.

This was my first ever book as I started and ended this book sometime in 2023-24. I edited a little, but not much so read at your own risk... Brianna takes Aiden hoodie off before going back to kissing him as he slides his hands under her tank top, cupping her breast making her kiss him harder. She then abruptly stops making Aiden snap his eyes open. "What?" He ask her as she cups his face looking him directly in his eyes. "I love you Aiden. Like seriously I really do." She says making him chuckle at how random she said it but when he looked back at her she seemed so very serious. "Come on Brianna, you know I'll love you always and forever," he said while kissing all over her face which made her laugh. "You're so corny." She playfully pushes his face away from hers making him laugh. "I'm serious. Like forever and ever and ever-" but she cuts him off as she rolls her eyes and kisses him again.
