Kason "Khotic" Brewster never planned on living long. At seventeen, he buried both of his parents in the same week. His mother died instantly in a car crash. His father held on just long enough to make Kason promise one thing before he passed. Take care of your brother and sister. So that's exactly what he did. Twelve years later Khotic is the man the streets call when things get ugly. Feared. Respected. Untouchable. Everything he does is for the two people depending on him to make it out of the life he's stuck in. He's content with that. Until Beauty Cardwell crashes into his world. Bee is nothing like the women Khotic usually deals with. She's a twenty-five-year-old brain surgeon, a child prodigy who finished school before most people finished learning who they were.

She says exactly what she means. And for some reason... Khotic likes that. What starts as a chance meeting turns into something neither of them expected. Bee sees the man behind Khotic's reputation. The older brother trying to keep his promise. The boy who never got the chance to grieve. And Khotic sees something in Bee that the world keeps missing. But loving a man like Khotic means stepping into a life Bee was never meant to be part of. Enemies. Loyalty. Violence. The kind of danger that doesn't care how smart you are. And Khotic knows one thing for sure. Good girls like Beauty Cardwell aren't supposed to fall for men like him.

|"I want you to be my Queen." Justin whispered as he trapped me between the wall and his body. No words could come out of my mouth. The only thing I could do was stare into his pleading hazel eyes. "sweetheart, please.." he said kissing up my neck with his soft lips. "Justin please stop. I c-cant." "please. I need you so much, you don't understand." | June. 26 2020 #1 Justinbieberfanfiction Aug.15 2016 #6 Royalty

When I first met you I had no idea you'd be so important to me. But when I did meet you I wanted something. I didn't know what it was, maybe friendship, maybe more. But now, I could not be more thankful for you. I let you into my world then you became it. You make me happy in many different ways. Everyone thinks of how beautiful you are, but behind that pretty face there's also a good personality and a heart of gold. If I could tell you how much you mean to me I would. It will take forever, but I don't mind. ♡
