"No! Fuck you, Antonio," I yelled. Immediately the pastor stopped talking and everyone turned around to face us in the back of the church. I got up and stormed out of the building as Antonio rushed after me. Once we were outside, I began speed walking in the opposite direction of his motorcycle until he caught up to me, grabbed my wrist, and spun me around so that now, I was facing him. The top of my head only reaching his upper chest. I breathed heavily until he looked down at me and cupped his hands around my face. His thumbs in the center of my cheeks as the rest of his hands caressed my jaw. His touch made me feel like I was floating. I felt like I was detached from my body watching myself about to make a terrible mistake. I looked down at my feet before he lifted my chin and before I could blink his lips crashed into mine. - ~~~ Dawn is a skilled and well-known assassin for the Millers.

"Do you realize this is what you do to me." He says wrapping his arms around me. One of his hands slid up into my shirt, sitting right under my breast. His breath gave my goosebumps as I felt my skin ignite. I could see Grayson behind me in the mirror. His nose skimmed my neck as his breathing deepened. "You don't understand...how much control you have of my body and soul Isabella. I would do...be anything for you. All you have to do is snap your little fingers and it's done. Anything princess."

But after one night, Megan gets kidnapped and finds out that Ryan Miller is much more than an ordinary boy. He's the son of the Devil himself. *** "Please..." Megan whispered, pulling on the ropes that tied her to the bed. "I'm going to ravish you, my darling," Ryan growled, grinning devishly from ear to ear as his eyes grew three shades darker.

**MATURE CONTENT** He lifted up my patterned skirt with his cruel hands. The same hands that drove me to despair. I let out a faint sigh as he glanced at my exposed nakedness and then glanced up at me with his penetrating eyes. Those same eyes that made my whole being shake. "She's mine now." He voiced while mindlessly rubbing my opening. ••• Ivy Williams had spent eighteen years in a town that felt like a cage. Hidden away in the quiet of Maine, nothing ever changed-except the growing emptiness inside her. At home, love was distant. At school, she was invisible. Her life felt small, silent... already decided. So when she was sent away to a boarding school miles from everything she knew, she didn't fight it. She saw it as an escape. A beginning. She didn't know it would unravel everything. Because that's where she met him. Jack Knight. Her teacher. Young-too young, some whispered. The kind of man who didn't have to try to be noticed, yet somehow never gave anything away. His voice was calm, almost hypnotic, every word chosen with care. His eyes-dark, unreadable-lingered just a second too long, as if he saw more than he should. No one knew where he came from. No one knew why he was there. But Ivy felt it-the quiet danger beneath his charm, the secret buried behind every measured glance. And somehow... he was looking right at her and only her.

Revenge. I'm familiar with it. You have to be when you're the firstborn son of a notorious mafia leader. Death and vengeance have been the very foundations of my life. So who in their fucking mind would be stupid enough to cross me? My brother and I have been wrongfully convicted of a crime we didn't commit. We know who is behind this. We bid our time behind bars, planned and prepared for the day we got out. Now we're free and hungry for redemption. I know what must be done. I know whose blood will be spilled. But before I go after him, I'll go after his daughter. I never said I play fair. *Book one in the Marino Brothers Duet. Rated 18+ due to explicit language, sex, and violence.*
