"You have got to be kidding me" he utters suddenly.

"What?" i ask and follow his line of sight down to the ground floor front desk.

"Angelo? What's wrong" i ask again, concern creeping into me as I put my hand over his on the table.

"Nothing's wrong baby. Just that my sisters are here" he turns to look at me and turns his hand over, so that he grips mine comfortingly.

"Oh....oh! Ok, well, we are done here right?" i ask rhetorically, referring to our meal, then pull my hand free and reach for my purse.

"Yeah, calm down. It's ok, i just wasn't expecting them to show up here" he says softly, when he notices me getting ready to leave.

"No worries" i stand up anyway.

"What are you doing?" He asks, alarmed.

"Leaving, i will see you later, yeah?"

"Marianne, sit down" His eyes narrow at me in an intimidating manner, but i don't cower.

"Sit down" he says again, even more assertively.

"I am not meeting any more of your family." I mutter.

"Sit down! this is not funny" he says under his breath, trying not to bring too much attention to our table, when i look just about ready to leave.

"Thank you for lunch..bye" i whisper and go down the other way from the direction his sisters are now coming to our floor on.

I don't turn around to see the look on Angelo's face, but i can feel his heated gaze as it drills holes into my back.

Heart of Stone - Stone and Fire #1 [17+] (REWRITING) by foreverbooked81
53 parts Ongoing Mature
Black eyes. Soulless. Unforgiving. Grey. Ice-cold, but just enough that I'm able to melt it. Both make me feel something. The matter was, which one out-weighed the other? Rule-bound, my life feels more like a cage than it ever has. I have no opportunity to use my fire and break out- heat can only do so much. And then like a fish out of water, I have to attach myself to this man- a man I know is dangerous. But so am I. The thing is, I don't know just how much. Only when he touches me, looks at me, talks to me even if his voice is laced with Russian poison.. that's when I realize just what agreement I've accorded with. It's a crippling touch of fire everytime he's near, and the most dangerous thing of all- even more than him, is the fact that I don't hate it. Stone is what I see when I look into his eyes. I wonder, is his heart made of it too? Nikolas Volkov When a bloody feud between the Russian Bratva and the Cosa Nostra ends with one outback- I'm forced to put myself in a position I have no other choice but to fulfill. With the Pakhan on my back, eyes everywhere mean complying is the only option. Only when the moment comes, is when I realize just what I've gotten myself into. She's.. indecipherable. I don't know what the hell this feeling is. I know it's not good. But my body tells me it's not bad, either. I try to stay away, but feeling her tremble and light like a switch underneath my touch when she's so used to staying upright, it awakens a dark, fulfilling part of me. My heart's made of stone. It always has been. So why do I feel it sway whenever she's near? 17+ Mafia Dark Romance *Standalone*

"How dare you!!" His stare and cold voice made me step back with fear scared of what he will do "You clumsy woman!! Keep those disgusting hands of yours steady or go die somewhere!! How dare you hurt her!! Do you even know who she is!!" "Alessandro..stop..it's alright.." Andrea pleaded from behind but he continued "Lowlives like you don't even deserve to step into a place like this bit we were generous to offer you this job....but You being an ungrateful brat couldn't do one thing right.......Hell you can't even walk properly how come you were hired for this job!!" Endless tears were flowing down my cheeks as he continued to reprimand me "Alessandro..please...stop" "No Andrea I will not stop..can't you see what she did.....You are too innocent and generous... you don't know girls like her.....they envy you and when they can't compete against you they engage in these dirty tactics .....bloody disgusting people...." I looked up into his eyes ....my eyes asking him if this is what he thought of me... I was never this low... How could he even think I did this deliberately! "Oh my god...your hand..." Andrea said looking at my hand I looked down to see my entire hand turned red with blisters everywhere. I felt numb earlier but now as I saw my wound I started feeling the suppressed pain I was controlling. My tears betrayed me not just because of his words but also from the pain of my burn. Andrea rushed towards me with a worried look on her face "Maria..bring ..the coolant hurry..we need to call the doctor.." She was something else So pure and caring My eyes lifted to see Ando He had a expression I couldn't decipher His eyes were fixed on my burn but I couldn't tell if he was worried or not. But soon that expression was gone as he turned around and left. I looked at his retreating back wondering since when did he become so heartless.

He doesn't get himself involved with women or the media. Then he meets Sofia who is a childish woman stuck in a 22-year-old body.

But he's also observant, hardworking, and logical. While Alessandro's men are trying their hardest to find the ruthless assassin, Raven, she's seated comfortably on his living room couch binge-watching movies, and he's sitting under the same roof denying his obvious feelings for his wife. He's looking for her at the same time she's supposed to kill him? ♤♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♤♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♤ Ales is observing me intensely, not minding our close proximity. His eyes scan me as if he's looking straight into my soul. I'm very aware of our position and torn between the desire to kiss him passionately and the instinct to push him away. His face comes so close that our noses brush, and his hot, minty breath fans my face. He leans in, his hands resting gently on the side of my hips. His eyes are hooded but captivating getting me lost in the warm brown. "I'm going to go fucking crazy living with you," He whispers huskily in my ear. He nibbles a bit on my earlobe causing butterflies to erupt.

Carl Denham ***** As Marco and i approach the table, Nick comes up behind us. I walk to my usual place next to Marco. Nick walks to his usual place as well and holds out the chair on his right. "You sit here from now on" he announces for everyone to hear, as he looks at me. "I am fine where i am thank you very much" I respond. I remember very well how last time he didn't want me there because Rhea was here. No thanks. You can save it for her. "I wasnt asking" He says drawing unnecesary attention to us with everyone here. "Well good. Because i'm never sitting there, ever! Isnt that Rhea's chair? You made that very clear last time" i retort. I know am being petty infront of everyone, but i dont care. He started it.

He doesn't know how much he's breaking my heart right now. "Trinity, I don't know how to show you how much sorry I am." He states, rubbing his face with his hand in frustration. "You can't, your 'sorry' doesn't changed what happened." I point to my face, where the bandage is. "This could have been prevented but you didn't even move a muscle to come and save me." "Trinity, if I did that it could have ruined my plans." He says, lowly. "It doesn't matter. If you truly love me like you say you do, you wouldn't have hesitated to come save me. I was so scared Aaron, I thought I was going to die." I respond, tears spilling before I can stop them. "I do love you Trin, I love you so fucking much." He states, clutching his shirt where his heart is. "Not like the way I love you Aaron. If you were in the position I was in, I wouldn't have fucking hesitated to come save you. I would die for you and you clearly wouldn't do the same." - Trinity's planner didn't originally have "falling in love with Aaron Florence" on it, but after a heated night and multiple dates, it became a daily thing.

"So... what about us?" he asked, and I looked at him, a bit bewildered. "What?" I inquired. "You and me... what are we, Sera? You know how you affect me. You make me feel like I'm losing my mind, and I feel incomplete when you're not around. I yearn for your touch, your scent, and everything about you drives me wild," he admitted, his words close to my face. I let out a shaky breath as I felt a warmth spread through my body. "Thad, I think you're getting something wrong," I began, but he interrupted me. "No, you're the one refusing to admit that you're feeling the same way I am," he insisted, causing me to fall silent. He was right, I couldn't deny the feelings i had for him.
