The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.

My body reacted instantly-traitorously-heat coiling low as his touch lingered. ❝𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬... 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨.❞ He pulled me back against him, unyielding, leaving no room for doubt about what he wanted-or what he claimed. My breath caught, pulse spiraling as his grip tightened. ❝𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭...❞ His lips traced my shoulder, teeth grazing skin before he pressed a slow kiss where memory still burned. ❝𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞.❞ His voice dropped, dark and final. ❝𝐀 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞.❞ #12 Russia #3 Toxic Love #12 psycho #10 russianmafia #4 killer #5 crazy #5 obsessed #22 psychopath #52 darkromance #5 violence #4 Russian #14 abuse WARNING This book contains Dark ROMANCE -there will be abuse in the relationship -Dark themes -Mature content -Smut and ect ⚠️You've been warned ⚠️ Start: December - January 2023 End: May 18, 2024 Rewritten start: June 26, 2025 Rewritten end: ????
