The madness and craziness in his eyes only made more tears stream down my cheeks. He was a complete psychopath. "Don't close those pretty eyes when I am making love with you, amore. Look at me, your husband." He rasped out and pounded inside me again, sending a painful jolt throughout my body. When was this going to finally end? I can't take this agonizing torture anymore. Tears blurred my hazy vision and a strangling sound left my throat when Elliott wrapped his hand around my throat. He was choking me mercilessly. I gasped for air and begged him to let me go but like always, he never did. He will never let me go. He leaned down and pressed a tender kiss on my jaw before we both came at the same time, his seeds filling my insides. I thought maybe this was the end, but he had other plans. He flipped me on my stomach, earning a whimper from me and whispered huskily near my ear, "Let's go for round two, shall we, my love?" ▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎ #1 in Captive #2 in CEO #2 in Forcedlove #2 in Italian #2 in Mafiaboss #3 in Darkromance #3 in Fear #4 in Manipulation #5 in Plottwist #5 in Character Development #7 in Billionaire #7 in Hurt ● The first few chapters contain some plot holes and errors, but as you read more, the chapters will get significantly better with prope

The Affair de aglenn719

He wasn't supposed to notice her. She wasn't supposed to matter. She spends her life holding broken people together. Listening. Grounding. Saving. He spends his ruling an empire built on fear-barely holding himself back from the edge. One look changes everything. What starts as tension turns into obsession. He craves her voice. Her presence. The way she quiets the chaos in his head. She becomes his anchor-his weakness-and the only thing keeping him from snapping. She knows he's dangerous. She knows wanting him is a mistake. But the way he looks at her-like she's the only thing he's ever needed-makes walking away impossible. He would ruin himself for her. She might let him. This isn't a safe love. It's dark. Forbidden. Possessive. And once it starts, there's no turning back.
