"Open the door. Open the fucking door. Aight, just remember I ain't want it to go down like this." Before I could even fully process his statement a gun shot rang out causing me to scream. Another loud bang proceeded after the shot, too scared to open my eyes I said a silent prayer hoping it would all be over soon. "Tsk, tsk, tsk... You should've just opened the door, mama. Now you've made things complicated." He growled in my ear, yanking me up by my hair. 5/20/20: Ranked #10 Under Good Girls 5/20/20: Ranked #13 Under Manny Montana 7/10/20: Ranked #2 Under BWLM

|#223 in romance 22/4/18| "You will not leave!" He said and slammed me against the wall. My heart started beating faster. My breath hitched in my throat. His face was dangerously close to mine. His eyes staring directly at mine. They were filled with anger, but that was soon replaced by lust. His hot breath fanning against my cheeks. "I have to go-" "No! You will not leave my sight.

Every Girl wants a bad boy to be good only for her and that's exactly what Hadley got. *** Hadley didn't think much of it when she couldn't make any friends in High School. She just brushed it off and lived her life without caring about it. Sure it would be nice to have a few friends but she guessed that she was just antisocial. Maybe there was more to it, maybe there was a cause to the underlying pain. Levi has had his eyes set on Hadley since middle school, never talking to her, never even let her catch him staring at her. When high school came around he wanted Hadley, and he did anything to keep her from harms way without her even noticing. She's naive, she didn't see it coming when he claimed her as his. **** "I don't like whats mine being touched! You should have know better.." He growled, I gasped at what he was saying." I worked too hard for some nobody to come take what I own away from me. I. Will. Not. Allow. It." Anger dripping from Levi's voice, nervousness raked through my body. His presence scares me and especially when a glint of mischief sparkled in his eyes. I went to grab Jake's arm to pull him away, I was snatched away from his reach to be put behind his back. He cracked his knuckles," I'm guessing you didn't realize your place just yet." And right before my eyes his fist connected with Jake's face. He turned toward me, my breath hitched in my throat."Your mine, your only mine. Do you understand Hadley?" Before I could stop myself." No, I'm not? I don't even know you." "But I know you." He leaned in and kissed my forehead. ________________ S I N C E. C O M P L E T E D. 4/28/18 Unedited 2023
