Then the millionaire King Bartley walked back into my life. A man with blood on his hands and revenge in his heart. He's fresh out of prison, and the whole city is on edge. But somehow, I'm the one caught in the crossfire. He says I'm safe with him. That he can give me the world. But a man like Trixx? He doesn't do love. He does obsession. And if I'm not careful, I'll mistake the cage he's building for a crown.

Enjoy 🤏🏾

"What? Xavier can't handle the fact of how De-" Xavier cut me off by choking me and backing me into the wall. My heart was beating out my chest, and so was something else. His eyes darted from my lips to my eyes. His eyes were on full display. His eyes blazed of lust. "Xavier.." I tried to say but my words got caught up in my throat. "Senaii. I'd gradly risk it all right here, right now. All you have to do is say what it is you want." Xavier whispered in my ear sending shivers down my spine. Xavier made sure not to break eye contact with me while he made his way to my neck and started kissing slowly, driving me crazy. "Xavier I-I.." "Alright time's up. Y'all can come out now" someone shouted from outside the room. • • • • • Senaii Lopez was the talk of the town when she suddenly "disappeared" for 6 months. That disappearance was cause by: Taylor Jones. One lie. One lie was all it took for Senaii to be shunned by the one she thought wouldn't ever hurt her. 𝑋𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑒𝑟 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑛. They had been friends for the longest but once Taylor came in the picture everything changed. Xavier betrayed Senaii when she needed him most. Now she wants nothing to do with him. Xavier can't understand why things have been different. Senaii is scared to trust again so she stopped caring.. right?.. She's changed from how she used to be. She isn't scared of losing anything or anyone anymore. She's cold, but you would be too if you got a reputation and you couldn't do anything about it to change people's minds. So she turned into a cold-hearted person. Xavier wants things to go back to how things were before. But she wants nothing to do with him. He's willing to risk it all 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐫. Will Senaii break down her walls and let Xavier in or will she keep her guard up forever? 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠

[Edited Version] “You ever think about letting your hair loose?” Ashton asked, his breath kissing Amor’s neck as they waltzed. “My hair’s fine,” Amor snapped in annoyance. Ashton chuckled. “That’s not what I meant.” His hands slowly hiked up the hem of her dress and her breath caught. “What are you doing?” She uneasily glanced around at the dancing couples. “Giving a new meaning to dirty dancing,” he replied quietly. And he entered her. [Cover by @zarawhite]
