"It wasn't an option baby" he whispered as he placed a kiss on her thin neck, making her shiver and clutch onto his suit "When I say something you do it" "N-No" her answer wavered and his grip on her jaw tightened. He noticed a small adhesive bandage on her neck from when the knife dug at her skin yesterday. His thumb caressed the spot as her heartbeat quickened "See" his eyes met hers "I didn't even touch you yesterday, but you already have a bruise. What do you think will happen when I finally make you mine?" She gulped hard but refused to give up to a person who was practically a stranger to her "I'm not yours" she breathed out.

The strong pull to her. The desire to have something you never thought you would want again. A glance turned into an obsession. And he would stop at nothing to get her. He would do anything he could to keep her. He cared so much for only her Alessio Bucceri was a man who could have anything he ever wanted. Until he wanted that one thing to need him back. Circumstances run in his favor as the woman of his dreams landed into his domain. He would never let her go. A chance glance turned obsession. #1 BWWN! #1 Mafia [4/12/24] *Book excerpt* -- Her cheeks turned red, ever so slightly through her chocolate skin. Her skin looked and felt so smooth. She liked the compliments, the Italian flare. It ropes many women, but the way she looked at me with her big almond eyes had my mind racing and my body in overdrive. She was not immune to my charm, even in her current situation. Her hair was in a slick bun. I was sad not to be able to see the curls adorne her face. And yet she stared at me again, watching me like a dog. Curious gazes. It was fun to tease, and the response I got back over affirmed my teasing. She seemed more relaxed with me. She looked away from me. She stared out the window watching the street ride by. It was silent for a while as I texted my subordinates basic commands. Nothing conspicuous. "Alessio, where are you taking me," her voice piped up. Seems like it took her a while to muster up the courage. I loved her sweet voice when it spoke me me and when she said my name... It was such a turn-on. She wasn't supposed to really ask questions. I don't like lots of questions. I thought about the best way to respond but opted not to say anything at all. She was as stubborn as always, forgetful too. She scanned around me before huffing to herself and looking back out the window. -- Started 06/08/2023- 8/14/2023 Highest Rankings: #7 Arranged [4/26/24] #26 Older #1 Bwwm #13 Man #1 Mafia #1 lovetragedy #6 lovestory #5 Blackwomen

I'm a Black. I never wanted to be involved with the Mafia." "You don't have a choice. You were born into it. Why not embrace it?" He came closer to me as I step back.

Coming home won't be as simple when they'll have to face her... Kylie Murphy, the young beauty and wild girl they left behind, has now turned into a woman, but not just any woman. She's now head of the 54th Street Irishmen, one of Hell's Kitchen's most infamous Irish mafia groups handed down to her by her uncle. She's still wild and even more trouble than she was when they left her. There's an even bigger problem... She hasn't forgotten the way they left her behind. Both men have been in love with her since childhood, and it did more harm to their friendship than good, which is why they had to leave her... They couldn't share her, and she couldn't pick just one of them. But now that they're back, do they regret it? Can their friendship withstand more conflict over this one woman? And does Kylie even still feel the same about them? ***WARNING: THERE WILL BE EXPLICIT CONTENT INCLUDING MATURE LANGUAGE, VIOLENCE, GANG ACTIVITY, DRUG USE, AND SEXUAL CONTENT***
