His rough tongue tangles with her soft and delicate tongue. After a long torturous kiss, he started sucking her neck, chest, and shoulders, leaving marks on her silky smooth body. He tore her clothes and massaged her body with his own hands. She was screaming and he slapped her again and continued to bite her skin. He pressed her breasts and pinched her nipples and sucked them from the black set of lingerie that was making him insane. Arjun was not giving her a damn. He removed his clothes too. She froze at the moment when every action of him struck a reality of what he was going to do with her. Arjun only wanted to make her as his and this was the only way to have her.

In The Arms of Ivan Dimitri
Crystal Eliza Crest had lived a life of privilege, untouched by the brutality that built her father's empire. She had everything-wealth, loyalty, and power-without ever realizing the blood that kept it intact. But ignorance wasn't immunity, and when the war between mafias took a personal turn, her world shattered. Ivan Sergio Dimitri had been raised in violence, molded into a leader with a single mission-destroy the American Mafia and show no mercy. He knew nothing of softness, only power and control. When Crystal fell into his hands, she was nothing more than leverage, a pawn to be used and discarded. She wasn't strong. She wasn't a fighter. Fear ruled her, yet she clung to the hope that someone would save her. But Ivan had no patience for weakness, and in his world, the only way to survive was to obey. He was the devil-ruthless and unyielding. She was a prisoner-fragile and powerless. Their paths were never meant to cross, yet here they were, bound by fate, trapped in a war that neither of them could escape. Would she learn to endure the darkness, or would Ivan crush her completely? Warning: This is an extremely dark romance. It delves into themes of power, control, and brutality. Not for the faint of heart.Complete
