Heart of Stone - Stone and Fire #1 [17+]
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?
