Odette Elliot is nothing more than just a regular New Yorker with the most bland life one could ask for. Simple job and a cheap apartment, least expensive clothes and a desire to be left alone entirely. She's never anticipated for more, though her mind desires a ride through the mystery romance novels that keep her company in the nights. 

What happens when someone has an eye for her that she can't seem to shake off?

Vincent Carsozza was hired for one job only and that was to bring the young and pretty Odette Elliot to his employer. The particular case had been peculiar since being a hired hitman had a complete different meaning to his job but his friend's interest leads him to no regret in signing up. Only, she isn't what he expected. 

She's an innocent. 

And he doesn't deal the innocents. Things don't seem to be what they did the first night he set eyes on the lamb before she was dragged into a crowd of hyenas.

What happens when he decides to change the deal and save Odette Elliot from this nightmare once and for all?

"I don't sell women." He spoke. 

"No, you just transport them to those who do. So noble." She licked her lips. 

"I don't interfere in anyone's business."

"I hate to break your bubble but when you kidnap someone, you interfere in their whole life business."

"I mean those who hire." He answered and she didn't look back. 

"You're charming. Good looking. Maybe even a bit gentlemanly but you are still a thug like the rest of them." She sniffed, "You kidnapped a girl. No explanations. Just a gun and threat and forced will to do what you tell her. So, just because you don't interfere in their business of selling or raping women, doesn't mean that you aren't equally disgusting and selfish and a fucker."

Octavius by demimartha026
46 parts Complete Mature
One of the most powerful man in the world. He was called Octavius. Cruel, coldblooded, and completely unobtainable. The Devil in a Brioni suit. The mere whisper of his name was like lethal poison that burned through the hearts of millions. Penetrating, and clear amber eyes that made grown men weep, and women burned with seduction. Behind the curtains, no one knew what he looked like yet he was always in control. It was a reputation he had fought to establish, one that brought him power, wealth and just about... everything. When a series of unfortunate events lands her into the very strong, powerful arms of Octavius, it was everything she'd been warned about. The beautiful brute, Octavius, moody and controlling in every aspect. She had never met a man as brutal, and stormy as him, someone she couldn't help but sprout wild, random phrases to, and offer hugs. A man that always gets what and who he wants because that's how his life works. Until it doesn't. Until he stumbles into a five-feet angel with the sweetest smile, and adamant about being friends. - preview - "Has any man ever made you so crazy you thought you'd die if you didn't get his cock inside of you? If you couldn't feel his fingers digging into your thighs as he spread you open and devoured you whole? Have you ever come over and over, so hard and so many times you couldn't be sure where one ended and the other began?" His strong, veined hands gripped the backside of my bare thigh, tracing over my skin, itching higher and higher and I could feel a deep ache building inside my lower region. My mouth slacked, at a loss for words, all I could do was whimper softly under his possessive touches. "Answer me." Big, forceful hands caressed my chin, almost gripping my neck, only retracting as I let out a tiny breathless sigh. His dark deep amber eyes were on fire with a carnal sexuality that I had never seen before. "Use your words."

June, 2, 2024: #1 in Action-Romance "If you choose to leave, I won't stop you cause I know that would be a sensible decision." He moved even closer to her, encircling her in his arms, her eyes shut at the electrifying sensation that enveloped her, "But I hope you'll stay." He whispered in her ears. A lone tear escaped her eye as she heard his pain stricken words. "I am scared" She confessed, her voice trembling. "I will never let anything happen to you." He assured her, caressing her cheeks. Silence settled upon the room as their gazes remained locked and he leaned forward, placing his lips gently upon her's. An unknown warmth filled her body and instinctively her arms wrapped around his neck, drawing him closer. He reciprocated, pulling her body closer to his and deepening the kiss. He kissed her like there was no tomorrow - passionately. Only when their breaths became ragged did he finally release her, resting his head against hers. The only sound that resonated in the room was of their heavy breaths until Scarlett whispered, "I'll never leave." ___________________________________________ Markus Hayes, A man you don't want to be up against.
