The story is finished.  Needs more editing.  

I have received advice on how to improve it but will not have time for a while.

When I start making changes, 
I will probably start at the last chapter and work my way back.

"No one speaks to me the way you have been lately" He warned, his eyes trained on mine. "What are you going to do, kill me?" I answered back, my gaze focused only on his kissable full lips. "Much worse." I didn't have time to comprehend anything before he gripped my hips and slammed me down onto the bed, making my breath hitch. My hair had covered my face from the impact, very quickly I pushed it out of my way when Luca hovered over my body, his hands holding him up on each side of me. "Wha-" He shut me up by placing his lips on mine, making my entire insides melt. Sparks jolted throughout my body as his soft lips molded with mine, he kissed me with so much need and urgency that a quiet moan unexpectedly escaped from me... ••• Luca Vendor, the name that shoots shivers down people's spines.

My stone cold blue eyes bore into his. I felt nothing for him as I felt his fingers graze my tanned skin like I used to, all I felt was pure hatred for the person who I used to love, the father of my daughter. "If you touch me again I won't hesitate to break your fingers" I spat. "Is that a threat baby?" He asked whilst trailing his fingers up my bare arm. I still felt nothing. "No West, that's a promise" _____________________________ Highest Rankings #2 Action-ish: 17/9/18 #DivergentLibrary
