*Sequel to Crossing the Lines but can be read as a stand alone*
Growing up, many people are taught there are lines. The line between ethics and morals, right and wrong, love and hate. People are raised to know the difference between the two, making them to be better citizens of society.
Then there are others, us. The criminals, the elites, the heirs. Hell, some of us are all of the above. We grow up in a world where the lines are blurred. Besides, if we knew about them, what's keeping us from attempting to cross them?

"My apologies about your awful hospitality, however, bella, we must take precautions with you"
The women spoke, her eyes peering into my own.
"Why- who gives you the right to steal someone off the streets-"
I was paused mid sentence as the stranger stepped forward and dug her black heels into the bridge of my foot, making me groan out in agony, my adrenaline spiking. Her hand forcing into my hair.
"Your curiosity got the better of you, you're in my territory now. Not to mention a pain in my backside. Now mi amore, keep your whines down and take what I give you. And trust me, this is just a light punishment."
