Melody Cohen was a normal girl. Well, a little less than normal. After being fired from her job by her sexist boss, she's in need of a new occupation. And she finds one. An accident meeting with the leader of New York's most notorious mobs forces Melody into an adventure of sorts. An  adventure she didn't remember singing up for when she clicked on an innocent little Craigslist ad.

"I have a proposition for you."

"A proposition?" I questioned, hoping for an answer that would satisfy my curious hunger.

He wet his lips, speaking slowly. " You're going to work for me." His icy eyes shot through my body, immobilizing me.

"No." I answered simply, shaking my head subtly. I kept a calm face, though my insides were burning with nervousness.

"I assume you went to school. Graduated." The subject changed as his voice hardened. His gaze shifted to the city outside of the window as I nodded, biting my lip ever so slightly. He continued.
"So, I also assume you know basic grammar." His eyes flicked back over to me, muscular arms crossing, intimidating me. I had no idea where he was going with this.

The marble floor was cold under my feet as I whispered my answer.
"Yes."

He clenched his jaw, my heart racing.

"Then you'll know that wasn't a fucking question."

The intensity made my breath hitch as I stepped back. "Do you think all those sleepless nights when I stayed up thinking about you, are some kind of game?" His words, sharp echoed in the space between us as he took another step forward, pushing me closer to the door. My heart hammered in my chest as a shiver snakes down my spine. Every cell in my body screamed to run away from his burning gaze but I stood frozen. I couldn't look away from the dark desire simmering beneath his fury. "Do you even know how many times I've laid awake at night in bed, thinking about the sounds you would make as I fucked you?" His last step and my back hit the door behind me. Trapped. His presence was driving me insane. His body pressed against mine, I tried to move away but my hands were captured, pinned above my head. He leaned closer, his breath fanning over my skin. "Do you fucking know how I fucking thought I was going crazy, how I am losing my mind because you have been driving me insane, every goddamn second!" He hissed, anger, desire and desperation filled. My breaths came in ragged gasps, his body flushed against mine yet I couldn't look away from the gaze burning me. He leaned closer, his lips almost touching mine. "And after that you fucking think I'll let you walk away? The professionalism you cling to?" He scoffed, his eyes held a captive burning with unspoken desire. I should tell him to stop. To walk away with nothing but a piece of memory. I should remind he can't feel this, can't say this and can't do this. But instead I did something I longed for so long, a reckless thingーI closed the distance between us and kissed him, hard.

His hand wrapped in her hair, yanking her face up to him to look into his angry eyes. "Tell me where the fuck is he?" He growled, making her shudder in fear. "Tell me now!" "I..I..won't..." she whimpered, because a sharp pain shot through her skull. He grabbed his pistol and pressed it right on her temple, snarling, "Are you going to tell me or you wish for death?!" "I want to die..." she cried out, begging him to kill her and let her free from the pain she had been suffering for a few years. Anger roared through him as he pressed the gun in her temple, wanting nothing more than to kill that bitch right that moment but something snapped inside him when his eyes fell on her body, and a cruel smile curved his lips. "Not before getting a taste of you!"
