Melting under his hard gaze, I tucked a piece of hair behind my ear and tried to gather my thoughts.

No human in their wildest dreams can imagine what I just saw in front of my eyes.

"W..whaat...else are you capable of?" I was actually shocked that I still had a coherent voice.  

He started inching closer to me, his steps were feline and not human like. Instinctively I took a step back but he grabbed me by my waist, I jerked up and my voice hitched in my throat, he leaned forward bringing his lips closer to my ear. 

"Bad things, bad-bad things angel that I may or may not regret" he said huskily, leaving a trail of his warm breath on my neck and making my brain freeze.

It's one of the reasons I always stay in my pack lands. I don't want to meet him. I stare at the beautiful blue sky and head to the coffee café in our little town for a much-needed comfort drink. I'm a few steps away when my wolf starts to go crazy. I stop and lean against a wall while taking a few deep breaths. My pack teaches us how to prevent our wolves from taking over and shifting. This skill saved my life once upon a time. I used it now as she desperately wanted out so we could find our mate. He was in danger. While I may not want to meet him, I don't want him hurt.

You're corrupting me, a good girl...in every possible way." She whispered so gently and grabbed my cock harder, making my eyes roll into the back of my head. This was undeniably true. I continued my exploration of her body, just gently, barely touching her hot skin and running my hand down her stomach so I could just linger on the band of her flimsy little panties and watch in the mirror how much she enjoyed it. "Your touch..." she turned to whisper into my lips, "feels so delicate...just the way I like it." Mmm fuck, no other woman had ever titillated my senses the way Jade seemed to so easily do. "But tonight...touch me like you own me." Jade spoke quietly about it. "Fuck me...like you own me." She pleaded. "Is that what you want, baby? To give all yourself to me?" I pushed it further and she grabbed me harder. "Yes. I want everything...with you." ***** ‼️This is an ADULT novel, only 18+. ❤️ [MATURE CONTENT 18+] Mafia and crime affiliation, explicit sexual content, mention and description of domestic abuse, profanity, violence, mention of murder, rape, and description of torture, etc. All Rights Reserved 2024 ©RJ7654

The pounding in my chest echoed the frantic thump of my heart. My breath hitched as a choked sob escaped my lips, followed by another, and another. My body trembled, a wave of fear washing over me. 'I hate you!' I screamed, the sound raw and desperate, barely audible over the deafening roar of my own terror. 'I fucking hate you!' I repeated, the words a desperate plea for sanity, for a semblance of control. A smirk, cruel and predatory, spread across his face. 'Really, I too hate you, sweetheart.' he murmured, taking a step towards me, the sound of his boots on the carpet sending shivers down my spine. 'You can't do this, you can't force me!' I choked out, backing away, as I pressed myself against the wall. 'Yes, I can. And I will,' he said, his voice a low growl, his presence a suffocating cage. He was close, his shadow looming over me, the scent of his cologne, usually a comforting aroma, now a noxious cloud of dread. My vision started blurring, tears welling up in my eyes, blurring the edges of the world around me. I fought against the overwhelming urge to just let go, to succumb to the overwhelming wave of despair crashing over me. 'You are mine to play and mine to ruin!' His words pierced through the haze of fear, his hot breath fanning against my neck, the sensation sending a jolt of terror through me, making my thighs clench involuntarily. He reveled in my fear, my helplessness. It was like I was a puppet, dancing to his cruel tune, every move dictated by his monstrous will. I hated him, I hated what he was doing to me, I hated myself for allowing it. He stopped abruptly, his touch fading, leaving me trembling in his wake. He turned away, his silhouette a looming shadow against the wall, and strode out of the room without a glance, leaving me alone in my own fear, my own despair. He was gone, but the fear remained, a chilling reminder of the power he held over me. I was a prisoner in his house, a captive of the monster who had consumed me whole.
Avenging Love  by sehr_writes

When love hurts you when there is betrayal and revenge, The heart, once tender, now bleeds with bitter ache, Yet through the storm of sorrow, strength you shall find, And from the ashes of pain, your spirit will rise anew. --------------- He held my hand gently, his touch was so gentle and firm. His other hand snaked around my waist, in a slow, torturous, yet blissful movement, and he swirled me in a graceful dance motion. The room spun around me, but then he let go, and I stumbled, my balance lost. In an instant, he yanked me back towards him, and I bumped hard into his chest, the impact taking my breath away. As I looked down, trying to steady myself, he lifted my chin with his two fingers, making me look into his eyes. The back of his fingers trailed from my neck to my cheek, turning my legs to nothing but a jelly. His gaze was so intense, and instantly the gentle emotions were gone, replaced by his standard emotion, rage. His eyes blazed with an almost frightening intensity. He swirled me harshly again, the movement abrupt and forceful. Then, he bent me backward on his arm, my body arching under his control. He drew his face closer until I could feel his warm breath against my skin. We were so close that I could see the fine lines around his eyes, the slight stubble on his jaw. A soft pink color of his lips were adding a touch of warmth to his face. His eyes bore into mine with deep intensity. Just when I thought he might kiss me, his expressions became colder and he made me stand upright, leaving me disoriented and confused. I was looking at him and he was looking straight ahead.

" I don't only picture your beautiful face Sey.

**COMPLETED*** This is book 2 and can be read as a standalone but I recommend you read "Fated" first. Something caught my eye and when I looked up in the mirror I saw Rykan stepping inside, shutting the door and sliding the lock in place. My heart hammered in my chest as he approached me. He came right up behind me, setting his hands on my hips, never breaking our gaze through the mirror. "Kora," he murmured, stepping closer until my back brushed against his chest. His hand slid down to the end of my skirt and he flattened his palm against my bare leg, sliding his hand up my skirt. "I'm married," I blurted, swallowing hard and trying to ignore how much I liked the way it felt having his hands on me. "Hm," he grunted, narrowing his eyes as he continued his ascension up my outer thigh. His touch sent tingles all over my body, sending heat right between my legs. He gripped my leg and suddenly turned me, his hand now palming my ass as he pulled me against him, his teeth scraping against my neck as his other hand up to my neck. "Didn't seem to bother you when you had me down your throat last night," he said, wrapping his hand around my throat and lifting his head to give me one of those heart-stopping stares. "In fact, I believe you started that, angel." Koralie always felt that there was a part of herself missing. A part she hadn't yet discovered. Stuck in a toxic marriage, she's navigating her way out of it when she meets Rykan, a mysterious stranger she feels an undeniable draw towards although she isn't sure why. Things become even more intense when he starts showing up in her dreams, claiming he is a werewolf and they are mates. An even more unexpected turn of events comes when Kora starts looking into the supernatural world and finds it is not as foreign to her as it should be.
