[ ONGOING ] A DARK ROMANCE

❝Estelle, my darling," Mother cooed, looking down thoughtfully upon me.
"Yes, Mother?"
Her hand snaked down from my shoulder to my wrist, gripping it tightly as if she was my personal handcuffs.  
I flinched as her thumb brushed the marks William had left upon my cheek.
"The bruises really bring out your eye color.❞

At what point, does being your mother's daughter become a negative trait? At what point, does the sugarcoated protectiveness turn into obsession and control? At what point did Estelle Strathen decide to take matters into her own blood-stained hands? Fighting fire with fire has never been such an ironic phrase.

I moaned breathlessly when he entered his finger in my entrance a little but not the whole way. He squeezed my neck again. "You daddy. I b-belong to you daddy." Carlos smirked. "Good girl. Now you will look into the mirror while I fingerfuck you senseless. You will see how much of a desperate slut you are for me. How pathetic and needy your are for Daddy. You will be begging and crying before you cum. You will be screaming and pleading with me to let you cum. You will lose any support in your legs before you cum. Be a good girl and stand still and maybe just maybe you'll be granted the pleasure of a orgasm tonight." He shoved two fingers into me suddenly. I screamed and moaned at the same time. **** She was a innocent naive girl who had been protected and sheltered since an accident when she was young.

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*

CADEN: A dark college bully romance

24 parts Ongoing Mature

"What about you makes you think you're so special?" he whispered, his eyes fixated on her lips. "Let go of me, Caden," she sneered, her anger palpable. "You pretend to be a good girl," he taunted, leaning in close. "But every good girl wants to be bad for one." His eyes trailing down her neck, lust hodded his gaze. Before he could finish, she pushed him away. "Touch me again, and I'll make you regret it," she warned. "What is there a good boy knows that a bad boy doesn't," smirking, he stepped closer, only to receive a resounding slap across the face. "I have heard enough stories. Sometimes a bad guy is just a bad guy," she turned to step away from him, but in an instant, his lips seized hers, pressing her against the wall, a glimpse into the intensity with which he sought to demonstrate his peculiar brand of punishment. "Then consider yourself wanted by this bad guy." Caden Stelle is the bad boy of the very college where Sophia Blackwell came to study, but little did she know the place where she is staying belonged to the same person she is scared of, and there was no escape when he staked his eyes upon her.
