An amused ghost of a smirk etched itself onto the Don's lips. How could this brute still be laughing in prison, facing the death penalty? 

"I have been running the mafia for nine years, little girl. Don't you find it odd how your oh-so-mighty police force just now apprehended me?" His words were very low in pitch, and stained with an Italian accent. She narrowed her eyes, masking her fear and uncertainty with a hateful glare.

"You RAN the mafia. And here you will get your retribution for your sins." Mia spat, clenching her hands into tight fists. How could one man be so arrogant? She almost jumped out of her skin when a guttural chuckle left the back of his throat.

"Tesoro, I am sin."

-

HER, a police woman, with a soul of sugar and a strong sense of justice and equality.

HIM, The Don, with a cold black hole for a heart and leaves death and destruction in his wake.

Thing seem to be looking up when the infamous Mob boss Ambrogino De Benventi is apprehended, but things quickly run south as he seems to know a little too much about the young officer Mia Lawrence. He claims her father owes him, and she is forced to work with the murderous made man himself. But something tells her he won't stay in jail for long...

An Italian-Russian war is coming.

Bonds will be broken. Relationships tested and built. Who will Mia choose?

After all.

Blood is thicker than water.

Special thanks to @Jaygrfx7 for the cover!! -------------- ❝𝐀 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲, 𝐚 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥. ❞ Renata Vartanov had been through hell. Sold to a brothel and thrusted into prostitution at thirteen along with her then toddler brother, by her own father after the loss of her mother. Forced to sleep with men every other night to keep her brother safe from the brothel's caretaker who would beat him for her mistakes. She knew no happiness, she knew no joy except her brother. And when an opportunity of his freedom presents itself to her, she happily leapt at the prospect. Even though she would have to give up the tiny sliver left of hers. ***************************** ❝𝐀 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐳𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭, 𝐚 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭. ❞ Vincenzo (Viper) Romano. Don of the Italian crime family and leader of the Romano empire. A dangerous man with a fiery temper, known to destroy his competitors and annihilate his foes in cold blood. Cold, cruel, and calculative. Those were the words he lived by. There was no room for remorse, regret, or romance in his world. Those three had almost broken him in the past. During a conducted arson at one of his foes' trafficking auction, where Renata was almost sold, she is brought into his world accidentally, with no way out. At first he detested her. It greatly pissed him off that she'd survived and he avoided her, vowing not to have anything to do with one of his enemies's whores. But how long can he resist her innocence, her smile, the torture her pain caused to his heart that he refused to acknowledge?

"Remember how wet you were when you decide to start avoiding me again. Remember how you came all over me. Remember how you felt in this exact moment because I know you'll deny it." - She knew falling in love with him was wrong. She still fell anyway. Now she will have to live with the debt of temptation - When Poppy witnesses a robbery gone wrong and gives evidence to the police to catch the perpetrators, she finds herself in witness protection after discovering the criminals are part of a dangerous gang. But when her witness protection comes to an end, she is soon captured by the gang leader and told she'll give eight years of her life for the man who was sentenced to prison for the same amount of time. Poppy is forced to work for the spiteful leader, Rexx, who uses her natural beauty to swindle valuable information from wealthy men for his own benefit. She's been counting down the seconds until her freedom. When she stumbles across Gabriel Dalton, the underboss to the mafia, he's charming, attractive and tempting. Poppy expects him to be like the rest, only ever after one thing. But that's when Gabriel proves her wrong. After Rexx discovers her acquaintance with Gabriel, he demands that she spies on him to get information about his family and business. Reluctantly she wants to say no, but she has no choice. If she fights it, she'll get hurt-or worse. As Poppy becomes closer to Gabriel, she doesn't expect to fall for him. And little does he know, she's been lying to him this whole time. There is only one thing Gabriel absolutely despises and that is heartless backstabbers. Tropes: - mafia romance - forced proximity - who did this to you? - angst/betrayal - dual POV - spice with some kinks 18+
His Villain  by itsvillaous

"I am merely a performer. I am not a whore or an object to satisfy your desires," tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke. "I don't care," he retorted callously. "Fuck you," she spat, her voice trembling with anger and defiance. "That was precisely my intention, Ms. Ferrari," he smirked, his eyes filled with an unholy desire. **** "Take off your clothes." Her eyes widened in shock, and instinctively, she acted on her first impulse-running towards the door. But before she could reach the lock, a strong, muscular hand stopped her efforts. She struggled to remove his hand, but her attempts proved futile. Shaking her head in defiance, she refused his demeaning command. She would accept any condition he set forth at that moment, but stripping in front of him was a line she wouldn't cross. She felt his breath on her exposed neck, his orders and demands devoid of any semblance of humanity. In an instant, her body was forcefully thrown onto the nearby couch as he loomed over her petite figure, his hands planted firmly on either side of her head, his expression deadly. "If you can't comply, I can always call my guards to do it for you. Shall I?" he hissed, his words venomous. She wished for a natural disaster to befall her, to erase her existence from his presence. The hand on her right side retreated as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. Her eyes widened, realizing that he was a man of his word. No one should dare to play with fire when they were unaware of the consequences. She wriggled beneath him, emitting a raspy cry. Before he could make the call, she blurted out her answer. "I'll do it." Story of a don and a professional dancer. A tale of betrayal, love-hate, obsession, deception, blood, darksouls, forbidden desire, redemption and togetherness.

"Why can't I fucking hit you?" Thomas yells, smacking the belt close to her feet. "Why," he smacks it on the door above her head. "Why, fucking why" to the right and left sides of her body. Melina trembles against the door with her eyes closed and head tucked between her knees. She jumps, sniffing Thomas' cologne, and tries to hide more. He's probably bending down. "I want to hurt you, Melina, but I fucking can't. Tell me why I fucking can't. Tell me why," she bites her lips to muffle her sobs as she fears they will exacerbate her situation. "Fucking look at me when I am talking to you," Thomas says, grabbing her hair and pulling her head up. "I am- so-r-r-r-y," she says as she turns to face him with her tear-stained face and bloodshot eyes. "Did you think it would work? Did you actually think you could get me arrested and then flee? Are you that dumb, Melina?" he tightens his grip on her hair, and it starts to hurt. Melina can't believe this is what he thinks. How will she prove that it was never her intention to have him arrested? ******** Melina Davis was born with the face and body of a goddess.

Black eyes. Soulless. Unforgiving. Grey. Ice-cold, but just enough that I'm able to melt it. Both make me feel something. The matter was, which one out-weighed the other? Rule-bound, my life feels more like a cage than it ever has. I have no opportunity to use my fire and break out- heat can only do so much. And then like a fish out of water, I have to attach myself to this man- a man I know is dangerous. But so am I. The thing is, I don't know just how much. Only when he touches me, looks at me, talks to me even if his voice is laced with Russian poison.. that's when I realize just what agreement I've accorded with. It's a crippling touch of fire everytime he's near, and the most dangerous thing of all- even more than him, is the fact that I don't hate it. Stone is what I see when I look into his eyes. I wonder, is his heart made of it too? Nikolas Volkov When a bloody feud between the Russian Bratva and the Cosa Nostra ends with one outback- I'm forced to put myself in a position I have no other choice but to fulfill. With the Pakhan on my back, eyes everywhere mean complying is the only option. Only when the moment comes, is when I realize just what I've gotten myself into. She's.. indecipherable. I don't know what the hell this feeling is. I know it's not good. But my body tells me it's not bad, either. I try to stay away, but feeling her tremble and light like a switch underneath my touch when she's so used to staying upright, it awakens a dark, fulfilling part of me. My heart's made of stone. It always has been. So why do I feel it sway whenever she's near? 17+ Mafia Dark Romance *Standalone*
