[complete; editing, ROUGH draft] "Say something in Spanish." I snorted, "Like what?" "I don't know... I just want to hear you speak it." Our gaze stayed on each other for more than it should've. But I couldn't look away. Her hair laid out behind her on the pillow, her hands under her cheek and her head nearly under my arm. I inhaled, "Puede que me esté enamorando de alguien que nunca me amará." She parted her lips and for a second I thought she understood me, my heart skipped a beat until she spoke, "And what does that mean?" "It means, this woman beside me asks too many questions," I lied. ***** Oakley Marrero has been nothing but a rebel since witnessing her parent's murder at the age of eight.

"The Stripper and the Mob Boss" ❦ A sickness of Anastasia's sister leads her towards a huge debt. When her friend comes to her with a solution that would make her go from rags to riches, Anastasia immediately accepts even if that meant stripping. Everything was running smoothly until she was met with the scary notorious mafia leader, Valentino Romano. Valentino was a man with no emotion, but when he was met with Anastasia, he knew that he wanted the blonde gorgeous stripper---at no matter what costs. ❦ "You're not allowed to touch me. It's against Mr. Romano's rules," she said, her back towards him. Her long legs were on full display with her high black heels only making them appear longer. "You must be new. What's your name?" He chuckled out, licking his lips. Valentino grabbed her hips, turning her towards him as his eyes settled on her breasts. Slowly, his eyes trailed up to meet her eyes. "Anastasia. Who are you?" she asked, fear clear in her eyes as she stared. He smirked. "Mr. Romano. Now, open your legs.""

I started to walk away, but was pushed with my face against the wall. "Obedience. That is what you need." His body was pressed against me, his breath hot in my ear.

I heard someone moan and realized it was my traitorous body. ***PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT I WAS YOUNG AND HAD NO EXPERIENCE WRITING THIS-THE BEGINNING OF THIS STORY IS QUITE AMUSINGLY SHITTY, PLEASE STICK TO THE END WHERE I EVENTUALLY LEARN A THING OR TWO.

Their fathers built rival empires. Their children were never supposed to fall in love. Olivia Evans has spent years avoiding the corporate world, perfectly content running her little café in New York City. But when her father announces she's the future CEO of Evans Incorporated, her carefully constructed life is turned upside down. As if that weren't enough, she keeps running into Dominic Wilson. Arrogant, ridiculously handsome, and the newly appointed CEO of Wilson Industries, Dominic is the last man Olivia should be interested in. Their fathers have spent nearly forty years trying to destroy each other, and neither intends to let the next generation forget it. But attraction has a funny way of complicating things. As stolen moments turn into something neither can easily dismiss, Dominic finds himself caught between his growing feelings for Olivia and his loyalty to the father who raised him. And his father, Michael Wilson, has no intention of letting an opportunity go to waste. As David Evans's longtime rival, Michael sees Olivia as the perfect way to gain an advantage over Evans Incorporated. All Dominic has to do is get close enough to earn her trust. The problem? He's already getting closer than he ever intended. In a world where loyalty is everything, falling in love with the enemy might be the ultimate betrayal. ∞ WARNING: Strong language, mature themes, and explicit sexual content.
