"Don't ever let me smell another man on you Kitten." He pinned me up against the wall holding my hands above my head. "You are mine.... Only mine." ------------------------------------- Rafael Santigo Montez, heir to The Montez Mafia. On the streets he's known as The Shiv. Deadly with his hands and even deadlier with a blade in them, he is not the one to fuck with.

Little does she know that not only is her boss panty dropping hot, but he's in the mafia. Tables take a turn when she bumps into him on her first night working as a server. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• (This is my book from Chapters Interactive Stories. Since the writing style is different on that app, I had to adjust and make a few minor changes.) Kitten has over 1 million reads on Chapters! I'm so over the moon that they love it so much and I hope you guys love it too! Please do not copy my book! I worked hard on it and would appreciate it if you didnt steal my work.

This is has been one of my most fun fan fics to write! I write a lot but don't post them with the fear that I'd get hate... I dont really need anymore of that! I accept kind criticism! Any idea, comments I'll try and see and respond! I hope you enjoy. Warning: semi-sexual stuff Gore Abuse Depression Gayness Angst (at the beginning, i promise it gets better) Enjoy! (I also don't own any of the art!)
