"Mom, I feel weird. My tummy feels ticklish."
"Oh mija, those are butterflies," the mother caressed her daughter's forehead.
"Butterflies, why are they in my tummy?" the little girl asked, wide-eyed with wonder.
"They are there to let you know when you feel happy. Natalia, let me tell you a story. Do you want to hear a story?" the mother asked her daughter, who was now examining her stomach.
Her daughter nodded. "Okay, este es la historia de las mariposas."
Throughout her life, Natalia constantly felt those butterflies in her stomach. She felt them when she went on an airplane for the first time or when she had to perform in front of people. She felt their presence when she first met Alessandro, but she soon came to realize that over time, these butterflies disappeared. At least, she didn't feel them anymore with Alessandro. Was it because she wasn't happy with Alessandro's choice of life or was it because she didn't love him anymore?
Alessandro also knew about these butterflies, but to him it was called adrenaline. He love the feeling of adrenaline running through his veins. He got his adrenaline rush by racing cars, running away from the police, and stealing from powerful people. He loved the feeling so much that he hoped that it will never go away.
After being apart for five years, will Natalia's butterflies fly in excitement when she sees him again? Also, will Alessandro finally get tired of living life on the edge?

Nia Black was an innocent girl who believed in the concept of love and even lived it, or so she thought. She believed that love was a wonderful thing when she met Zaine Velazquez, a 22 year old rich billionaire who showed her the love she never thought she could experience, much less from someone that was way out of her league. But that all came crashing down when her boyfriend and best friend betrayed her in the worst way possible. A few years later, Nia isn't the person she used to be.

She wasn't going to show any mercy, that word was ruled out of her books long ago. Destruction was engraved in their fates and she would stop at nothing to achieve her revenge. And there was no stopping her. *** I subtly trailed my foot up his leg and felt him stiffen. I smirked internally when I saw his reddened face from across the table. I was enjoying this tremendously, more so when I saw the look on Dana's face as she tried her hardest to grab his attention, which was solely focused on me. I kept trailing my foot higher and higher, enjoying the look of anticipation on his face despite his desperation to keep himself composed. As my foot made contact with his dick, I realized he was already hard. Before he could comprehend what was happening, I removed my foot and continued eating as if nothing ever happened. I cast my eyes across the table just in time to catch the flicker of disappointment on his face before it disappeared. I smirked internally. Game on, asshole. *** Disclaimer: Mature themes.
