"Your Father is my biggest enemy." He proclaims as he tilts her chin up with the hand that is not gripped around the nape of her neck. Her eyes gloss over as she looks down at the loaded gun held tightly in her trembling hands. The gun that is pressed directly over his heart. A tear escapes from her heavy eye but is quickly stolen by his thumb that wipes it away. She draws away from his touch just as quickly as he makes the contact. "But my hatred for him can wait." His head lowers and his warm breath hovers right over her ear causing goosebumps to erupt on her skin. "Just like how I will wait for you to forget about your hatred for me." ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ Camilla and Phoenix believe in different things.

"I've been hurt worse trust me," I say, referring to him but I don't even think he knows. Although, judging by the look in his eyes... I think he does know. He got the reference. "Don't confuse platonic feelings with romantic ones Hope," Adrian says sternly. "Maybe you care about me. As a friend, but you don't love me. You throw that word around like it's nothing." "When have I thrown that word around?" I demand. "Probably with your one-week-lasting boyfriends." I let out a humorless laugh. That's really what he thinks? "I've never said I love you to anyone in a romantic way." I inhale sharply. "And for my fucking misfortune, the first guy I said it to had to be my bodyguard. ❦ Hope Ashford is used to getting her way. A rich spoiled girl who doesn't have any limits. Although, underneath that spoiled, bratty, and cocky personality, is an insecure girl who has only ever wanted to be enough. Adrian Newman is used to having a shitty life. Despite all the things life has thrown at him, he continues to move forward to look out for his sister. Even if that means being Hope Ashford's personal bodyguard. Hope's parents hire Adrian, to keep her safe. Hope is against the idea and tries to get rid of Adrian at first, but it gets to a point where she realizes Adrian has become more than just a bodyguard.

A murderous, psychopathic pixie with a gun meets a equally attractive, maddening prince who also has a gun. The real twist? A mysterious disease threatens to end this murderous, psychopathic pixie, and her only hope may just be the prince whom she hates... But who are we kidding? There is no story if there is no undeniably, sexually frustrating, overwhelmingly infuriating attraction between Ms. Batshit-crazy herself and a certain prince who clearly has a death wish when it comes to his choice of woman. Buckle up, because when it involves Inferno and Rouhem... I'd start popping that popcorn now. ----------------------------------------------------------------- And god how good he looked in his leather jacket and blue jeans. It was pissing her off. "Oh, really?" he responded to the sound of her gun. His deep voice sent shivers down her spine. She never had such reactions to a male until him, and she has decided that no matter how amazing it felt, it was most likely for the best that she ignored it. "Yes, really!" she snapped, "you barge into my life and don't expect consequences? You must not be Rouhem. He would know that I can get a little trigger happy when someone annoys me, especially you!" Inferno knew herself well enough to firmly state that she was a very irrational person outside of grave situations. Anything that exasperated her usually was shot. It was a mere fact. "Do it then, pixie, make my day." ----------------------------------------------------------------- (WARNING: MATURE CONTENT OF ALL KINDS *EMPHASIS ON THE ALL PART*) (2nd book in this universe of brooding beasts and the women who slay more than Buffy, CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE, but there are spoilers for the 1st book... you've been warned... but hey, you do what you want... this was definitely way too long of a side-note... my bad... bye)

~~ "Torturami ogni giorno, ma ferisci chi amo, pagherai." ~~ {} Rayver Cruise is not your cliché male character. He's not strong, he's not rich, he's not fearless, he's not scary, and he's totally not strong-hearted. Yet. {} Regina Luciano is also not your cliché girl. She's not weak, she's not possessionless, she's not panicky, she's not timid-looking, and she's not weak-hearted. Yet. ~~ This is not your cliché book, because these two aren't lovers. They're twins. A lethal older twin sister, and a shy younger twin brother. ~~ Will he be the one who can make Regina feel an emotion aside from anger and bloodlust? Or will she ignore the fact that she has a twin? Not to mention, his father is the leader the Italian Mafia, his sister is the Mafia princess/heir, making him the long lost Mafia prince.
