Yours. (Book 1 of Crimson Abyss)
"You were ours the moment I laid eyes on you," he stated, his voice low and commanding, the kind of certainty that left no room for doubt. His gaze bore into me, as if claiming me without a single word more. The truth was, I didn't need to argue or question him, because deep down, I knew he was right. I was theirs. My body, my mind, everything about me had already been marked-consumed by them the instant our paths crossed. - Zarina never imagined her life tangling with the underworld, let alone with three of its most dangerous men. One moment, she's balancing college and a barista job. The next, she's stepping into a world where control is absolute, pleasure is edged with pain, and submission is anything but weakness. Xavier Bianchi, Kieran Sullivan, and Grayden Reznov-ruthless, dominant, and accustomed to getting what they want. And now, they want her. Her world shifts the moment she enters Crimson Abyss, New York City's most exclusive and decadent club. A place where power and desire blur, where surrender is not just given-it's taken. Every glance, every touch, every command pulls her deeper, testing limits she never knew she had. Here, trust is dangerous, control is intoxicating, and once she gives in... there's no turning back. - "Is this body aching for our touch?" His voice was thick with desire, low and possessive. He leaned in, his breath hot against my skin as his fingers brushed dangerously close to where I craved it most. "Do you want us to make you beg for release? Tell me, baby. I can make you feel everything you've been dying for." - This story contains mature themes, including BDSM, dominance, power struggles, and dark romance.

The Backpacker's Dream
'No, he didn't'. I was so shocked by the turn of events. Everything was going fine and then suddenly boom, everything turned upside down. I just couldn't believe this. What did he think of himself? 'Leave me alone.' I said firmly but his hold on me was so strong. I was struggling to get out of his bear hold but to no avail. 'Oh!! So, the poor lady thinks that I will leave her alone and just let her go free?' He had that evil laugh and boy, his breath stank. 'Man, you just signed your death warrant and I will do one favour on you.' No one messes with me. 'Ooooh, I am so scared that I almost peed my pants.' Again that idiotic laugh. I counted till 5 and then kicked right in his balls. I turned around and grabbed his hair from roots, jerked them so badly and then gave my hard elbow shot on his chin. Everything happened so fast for one moment he was standing and the other lying on floor wiggling. I charged at him with my cheetah speed, picked up a wooden rod and started hitting him wildly, 'You idiotic stinky breath was trying to steal my backpack. You are so dead.' 'Favour, favour, favour.' He was screaming in pain just after few seconds and was panting hard. I picked my paste from my bag and threw at him, 'Brush your teeth.' I was fuming. I turned around and saw him standing wide-eyed, 'Hi, I am Scarlett.' I smiled showing my 32 teeth. 'I am scared.' His look puzzled me.

"Previously known as... Scarletstroke: Girl assassin" * No hesitation * No killing of children * No killing of innocent people * No emotions * And defenitely, NO falling in love ~ Those are the main rules code named Scarletstroke, former assassin Scarlett Gonzales lives by. She is a highly-trained, highly-precise and highly-dangerous killer who considers herself the same as any other businesswoman, doing 'just her job' and convincing herself that she is dealing with 'just her target' rather than a person. She succeeds in contract killing better than any known assassin that ever existed and successfully ignores all feelings or emotions, knowing that they tend to make the "job" not go as planned. So when a new contract comes in and the mark is a certain gang leader that caught Scarlett's eye, she couldn't resist venturing deeper into a world filled with illegal activities on a personal mission to find out why he has a price on his head. Although, what she finds in that world isn't quite what she expected. Now, torn between duty and passion, Scarlett must decide if she pulls the trigger or if she becomes the target herself? Who knows, maybe he might be the answer to her deepest desires. Because her next target: Cayden Carlisle. +++ The culprit took in a deep, calming breath. "You may as well shoot me now, but just know that I am still going to kiss you." By the time he grabbed her waist with one hand and her wrist, connecting to the hand holding the gun, with the other... she was lost. Completely gone. She never stood a chance. His smell, his mouth, his soft growling noises. They were more than enough to disarm her. "I finally figured something out about you." He whispered, pulling her closer, trying to meld every part of her to him. "You display all your emotions through body language. In this case, your hand is betraying your mask." Every word of his was chosen for maximum impact. No wasted syllables, no extra breaths. Just facts.Complete
