THE ONE-NIGHT STAND | 18+ by mentally_whore

"I hate you. I fucking hate you," I snapped, fury in every word. But hate wasn't the only thing burning between us. Adriana Martinez has spent her life mastering control-over her missions, her heart, and the shadows she works in. As one of the most feared assassins in the Mexican Mafia, she isn't used to being told what to do. Especially not by someone like Alex DeLuca. Alex is ruthless, arrogant, and used to getting exactly what he wants. Unfortunately, what he wants now... is her. Thrown into a dangerous alliance between rival mafia families, Adriana and Alex are forced to work together-whether they like it or not. The tension between them is explosive, and with every argument, every clash, something else starts to unravel. But there's something about Alex that digs into Adriana's memory, a flicker of something she can't quite place. A moment. A night. A mistake that refuses to stay buried. They're not supposed to want each other. They're not supposed to need each other. But the line between hate and desire? It was never as clear as they thought. Enemies. Partners. Something more dangerous. This isn't just business anymore. 18+|READ WITH RISK PLZ😋

Facade by polluxo

Alejandra Martinez had the perfect life until she lost her mom and childhood to a violent tragedy that she witnessed. As a result, her dad fell into many patterns of abuse, leaving her to deal with the aftermath of it all. She continued life as best as she could with little hope for anything and trust in absolutely nothing, turning into someone her mother wouldn't recognize, doing whatever she needs to do to cope as well as to protect herself. During her junior year at Lower East Side High School, she meets Gabriel Santiago. He's known throughout the halls for his association with the most dangerous gang in the city, as well as his ice cold demeanor, all at the age of 17. He's as heartless as it gets - at least that's what everyone thinks. The two know nothing about each other. Despite this, they still find reasons to dislike one another. But as time goes on, and they continue to cross paths, something changes. Both begin to realize that there's a whole different side of the other that nobody knows about, yet it's the side that they might not hate about one another. That's what makes it even more complicated. As they each dig deeper past the facade the other has created over the years, it becomes dangerous for everyone involved.

Maya applied pressure to my wound. I hissed from the pain. "Stop fucking around." She rolled her eyes at me. Maya finished tending my wound, wrapping it with a bandage. As she got up to put the first aid away, I stopped her. My thumb rubbed against the cool skin of her hand. I pulled her to sit on my lap. My fingers ran through her hair. "You're doing it again." I ignored her, sinking my chin into her shoulder. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I placed small pecks on neck. Her breathing turning heavy. "Stop. Someone could walk in." "And? You think they want to watch? Shit, I would." _____________________________________ ~Maya Castillo~ Escaping her traumatic past, Maya and her brother, Santiago, run to New York.
