"Hey, killer," he said lowly, only for me.

I rolled my eyes, typing, 'I really think that nickname is misplaced', and turned the screen for him to see. Plucking the phone straight out of my hands, I watched Dean type quickly before handing it back to me.

'Why's that? I think it more than fits,' I read.

Huffing, I typed, 'I get it I tried to punch you ONE TIME, but do I look like I could kill someone?' I felt him move close to my side to read as I went. I tried to ignore how my heart kicked up its tempo at his nearness and raised my eyebrows at him to accentuate my question.

"That's not it at all," he chuckled lightly. I gave him a confused look.

He leaned in close, breath tickling my ear as he spoke in his deep, husky tones, "Ask me again when we're alone and I'll tell you exactly what I mean, little killer."

Emilia Richards has probably never been described as 'outgoing' before in her entire life. Even without the unfortunate reality of her being mute, she'd do her best to cling to the shadows. She likes it when people leave her alone, so she's spared having to deal with the questions, with people's entitlement to know why.

Dean Turner has probably never been described as 'outgoing' either, but mostly because people are too afraid to describe him at all. He likes it when people leave him alone. He's just looking for some peace and fucking quiet, is that too much to ask?

She makes no noise, and he has no questions...for now

*****
GENERAL WARNING - there are themes of child abuse, physical assault, emotional self abuse, panic attacks and some other minor themes that may be concerning or possibly triggering for some readers. Please pay attention to the warnings at the beginnings of chapters if you could be one of these readers.

"Abort it." "Excuse me ?" "Abort that thing inside of you!" He shouts in my face. I put my hands on his chest, trying to put some space between us. The man didn't even budge. "I'm not aborting my baby!" I feel strong hands wrap around my throat, and the next thing I know, I'm being lifted off the floor, fighting for air. "Listen here, you bitch you will abort that child, and if you don't, I'll personally kill you both myself. I'm a man of my word. Do not test me." He spat dead calm. Elora finds herself in a sticky position when her brother was in a terrible car accident, leading to an expensive medical bill that neither of them could afford. Her parents died when she was young, leaving her brother as her sole guardian. The two had been incredibly close over the years, and she had to find a way to help him in his current position. She had no choice but to sleep with a man she knew nothing about for money to cover the hospital bill, but later found out she was pregnant. The worst-case scenario is that the father wants nothing to do with her and the unborn child. After three years of guilt, pain, and regret, the two cross paths once more, and Elora struggles to make the right decisions as he was determined to be in their little girl's life.

I lift my hand, holding my pistol to his chest, hovering over his heart. He stares at me, emotions spilling out of him. Emotions I can't decipher. He leans closer, the tip of the barrel pressing into his skin, just above his heart. "Do it," he whispers, inches from my face. I hold his gaze, while his hands snake under my shirt, grazing my skin. "I dare you," he lowers his voice, so gently, "Shoot me." My finger curls around the trigger, an inch from pulling it. I glare into his eyes, "You're a fucking monster," I whisper. He nods, "I know." "You kill without remorse," I spit. "I know." "I hate you," My finger screams at me to pull the trigger. "I know." "I'm disgusted by you." "I know," he inhales, letting his forehead rest against mine. His gaze falls to my lips, "If you want me dead, then kill me, pull the trigger." - It's no longer a question. My morals are gone, leaving nothing but a monstrous killing machine. Any hope for some sort of sympathy, some regard for life is nonexistent. I want death. I want to be the bringer of death, and the essence of slaughter. - Rhea Windsor, the newest ruler of Ovantasa after her parents- the former king and queen were assassinated. Her mind is in the pits of despair guided by vengeance, leaving nothing but a body of handcrafted slaughter and within that madness, she comes across a man made for killing. The ruthless killer known as Elijah Anton, who forces her to turn her back on her morals and grip on sanity. What happens when she realizes she wasn't as innocent as she thought and teeters on a heart of purity and blinding hate? When perfect becomes unattainable and her flaws take its place? - [𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆] THIS BOOK CONTAINS EXTREME GRAPHIC CONTENT AND IS NOT MADE FOR A LIGHT READ - *COMPLETE & FULLY EDITED*

Ashes Of You And I (Completed) | ✔️ by Soulwithapen

"Her troubled eyes held fire. The kind of fire that was capable of burning me to ash." ***** I grabbed her chin with my free hand, making her look at me. "I hate that I don't know you. I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before." I leaned a little closer, as her intoxicating scent filled my lungs. "Trust me, I can't hate you, no matter how hard I tried." "So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes. "What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question. "I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." ***** One night. What harm can one night do? It can change lives. Turn best friends into enemies. Turn someone's life upside down.

"What's your problem?" He asks darkly. "What's your problem?" I spit back. "Why do you keep following me?" He hisses. "I don't follow you!" I shout back. "Then how come where ever I go you end up going or being there?" He questions in a raised voice. "Its a coincidence." I say back in the same tone.

The Silver Fighter | ✓ by LiseR05

"I already killed your mother, Cam." As the words left my enemy's mouth like a mocking sneer, I growled under my breath at the mention of my old name. Memories started to boil up that I had been wanting to squash deep into my heart. Bad memories. "As you can guess, I'm here to finish the job." He continued with that ever-present sinister smirk on his face. And in that moment, a sudden burst of confidence just appeared within me. Or blatant stupidity. 'I'll take either one.' I silently admitted to myself. I rolled my eyes at his so-called 'threat', not really intimidated in the least. "Yeah, like that went so well the first time. The first time, you fucked up enough to get caught by the police." I pointed out. "The second time, your grown-ass men got their asses handed to them by two teenagers." I snorted at him. "Your odds aren't looking too good here, Berti." ~•~ Losing her father? Lovely. Getting in a car accident with her aunt, uncle, and cousin and being the sole survivor? Fantastic. Losing her mother because a deranged psychopath holds a grudge even better than The Grinch? Amazing. Being ostracized from her own family save from her paternal grandparents, and getting the blame for her mother's death? Cherry on top of the cake. Having to make sure three idiotic twats don't get themselves killed because they couldn't mind their own bloody business? Bloody hell, that's an entire ice cream cake with ten pounds of gummy bears. ~•~ Join Grace Stanton as she faces her demons and the demons of her past all while trying not to commit murder against her three new friends. Fun times. (First book in the Gilded series) ~•~ [#1 Streetracer - 4/21/21] [#1 Gangs - 9/16/21] [#1 Boxer - 9/12/21] [#1 Fighter - 12/11/21] [#2 Boxing - 9/3/21] [#1 Girlpower - 2/12/21]

Crooks & Nooks by hyucksdream

"Will?" I asked sleepily. "Hey Rayna?" Will's quiet voice said shakily, immediately causing me to sit up straighter. "Will, what's wrong?" I asked, worry covering my face. "No one else was picking up. I need someone, please, Ray? I promise, I'll make it up to you," Will said, sounding desperate. Rayna Adams was outgoing. She could make conversation with anyone, and somehow they'd listen to her. She was a dancer, mainly to let out her emotions. She didn't know what she wanted to do in the future, but every decision she made was for her parents. William Haines was shy. He was quiet, and he hated small talk with random people he had no desire to talk to. He was a boxer, and he was a good one. He was smart, but he was mad at life, he wasn't sure exactly what he wanted to do. But maybe, if they worked together, they could learn more about themselves and help each other out along the way. (I know this description sucks, but I hope you'll still give my book a chance!) THE FIRST FEW CHAPTERS ABSOLUTELY SUCK AND I WILL GO BACK AND REWRITE IT, WHEN THE STORY IS OVER, BUT THE NEWER CHAPTERS ARE WAY BETTER.

I grip onto the back of the wood tighter while her hand goes to the inside of my hair and pushes my neck closer for her mouth's reach. The minute I feel her tongue begin to glide again, I lose all control instantly. "I don't give a fuck."

Lavender by weirdorandolmao

"He definitely wants to sleep with you," he taunts. "Excuse me?" I look at him weirdly, "What are you even talking about." "The way he touched your arm. That's what people do when they wanna fuck someone." He looks down at his paper and continues to sketch his patterns. I get an idea and scoot my chair closer to his. I lean forward and bring my lips up to his ear, very gently. "Well, that's what you do." He snaps his head towards me like he knows what I'm going to say next. "Do you wanna fuck me?" I whisper, making sure to look at him in awe. I hope it has an even better effect since our faces are closer. He opens his mouth to say something but hesitates. His eyes are everywhere but mine. When he finally catches my stare, he pushes my chair back to where it was before with his foot. "You are such a smart-ass. Would it hurt to swallow your ego for two seconds? Not everything's about you," he argues. "Maybe. I mean- I've swallowed worse," I shrug with a petty smile. *** Lavender Quinn has always struggled with her mental health but somehow managed to always stay at the top of her class... until her senior year.

"Hell no. You don't get to just barge back into my life and tell me who I can and can't date." "Well, then, you must have lost your fucking mind, in the time that I was gone, if you think I'm just gonna do nothing about that." "Do nothing about me dating? Who are you, my father?" I questioned, turning to walk away from him. I was sick of talking to him and going in circles. "You're actually a child." "No, I'm a grown ass man, Iza. I just don't like the idea of other boys touching you." "Fuck you and your ideas." I turned, narrowing my eyes at him and flicking him off with both hands. "I wish I could shove them down your throat, so you can taste the bullshit in them." "There's something I wish I could shove down your throat, too, but I respect you." ~ • 𓆉 • ~ 𓆉 • ~ 𓆉 Eleven years of friendship. Four years of silence.

Made For The Mafia (18+) (1 of 3) by writer82897

'For The Mafia' Series - Book 1 of 3! ~~~ "Down on your knees." He lets go of my hair and pushes my shoulders down roughly, before unbuttoning and shrugging off his shirt. I kneel in front of him and instantly unbuckle his belt and unzip his black pants. He watches me eagerly from above, keeping his hands to his side, letting me lead. "Are you jealous when I flirt with those men for information?" I bat my eyes up at him innocently as I pull his pants down to his knees. His face hardens as he considers my question. "I don't like your hands on them." He grumbles and I smirk. I already knew the answer. "I do it for you, Enzo." I remind him as I move my mouth closer to him. "Only me." He growls as he pulls my head forward, closing the space between us. ~~~ When a dangerous mafia leader meets this particular stripper, he learns she is anything but. Both equally ruthless and thirsting for power, he hires her as his lethal interrogator and assassin, however she quickly becomes more when neither can resist each other.
