"Do you know what your name means in Greek Alina?" He asks me as his hand sneaks around my waist, drawing me in closer

My breath hitches, trying to find the words without fumbling, "My father used to call me his light." I answer, my words coming out in a breath, shifting under his weight, pressing myself against him. 

His eye meets mine, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear before replying, " you are my light Alina, you will always be my light." His lips connecting to mine, and I feel at peace, like I'm home.
--
Alina Harris, quick witted, stubborn, beautiful, innocent when it comes to things she doesn't understand. Starting a new life, new home, no baggage, free. Yet how free can you be when secrets follow.

Colden Aldaine. Arrogant, powerful, self-righteous, always wanting to make something that isn't his, his.
--

But when Colden offers Alina a proposition that could save her life, how could she refuse ? She'll have to make decisions that go beyond her imagination and bend boundaries that has been placed her whole life. A new adjustment is hard when the person your living with you absolutely hate.. sort of.

"𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩, 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚." Olivia groaned and crossed her arms, standing her ground. "Don't tell me what to do. You're not my dad." Amusement filled Santino's gaze as he stood up, abandoning the papers he desperately needed to read and sign. Yet, all that was forgotten as her bewitching lips protruded. "I might not be your dad but," a midnight lock of hair was pinned behind her ear, "I can be your papi." Shuddering, her body drew closer to him, betraying her mind. "You're sick." Taking the nape of her neck, Santino leaned down, his lips brushing against her ear. "Yet you still dream about my touch, don't you, principessa?" ❦ When Santino Adriano discovers that the Bratva has betrayed their neutrality by secretly working with his family's enemies, he's determined to send a brutal message that cannot be ignored. His target? The Bratva kingpin's sister, Olivia Morozov-a sheltered girl who knows little to nothing about the dark underworld her family controls, having been shielded from the darker truths of her family's empire her entire life. Fresh out of boarding school and blissfully oblivious to the power struggle boiling beneath her feet, Olivia is suddenly whisked away from everything she's ever known and thrust into a world where loyalty is weaponised and power is the ultimate prize. As secrets and long-buried lies unravel around her, she realises she's caught in a game where the unrelenting fight for power holds more value than human lives-including her own. Santino is cold, calculating, and relentless - everything Olivia should fear. Yet, she is intrigued by by his deadly nature. The line between fear and attraction is thin, and like a moth to a flame, she seeks him out, unafraid of the burn it may cause. She's never known anyone like him-an older, dangerous man who makes her question everything she thought she knew about desire. Olivia just didn't expect her captor to be so handsome.

🥉Third Place in short story - Platinum Awards 2020🥉 🌟🌟I do not own rights to images on the cover or the song lyrics in the book. All rights go to the photographers and writers. 🌟🌟 Adrianna Carolli has always been attracted to females. No male has ever caught her attention. In high school, the boys disgusted her and in adulthood the so-call-men were even worse... cementing her attraction to girls, to women. That is until she meets him. Agenis Alt, her boss' son and now, her boss. A man in every sense of the word. Just looking at him gives her chills and she doesn't quite know how to act. She likes women, men never do it for her but he's like temptation on legs and she just can't think around him. Does she act on her instincts? Open her mind to new experiences? Stick to the evil she knows? Or does she give in to Alt+3, the code of love. *** Agenis has never seen a woman like her. She is a breath of fresh air. She's confident, seductive, funny and a hard worker. She's a curvy, thick and beautiful black woman who appears to have a nerve of steel... yet behind her eyes he sees vulnerability. A vulnerability that calls to the dominant within him. Agenis has had a fascination with her ever since the first day he met her. He often visited his father's business just to catch a glimpse of her. A crush you could call it... ... but he is no fool, he knows she isn't into males. At least that's the word around the office... This causes him to back off, not wanting to push her into anything outside of her comfort zone but that never stopped him from appreciating her... Once chance encounter sparks a reaction that leaves Agenis thinking that maybe she feels the same. Agenis has never given up something he sets his mind on... And now, Adrianna has his full attention...

It wasn't really the result I was looking for. In fact, it was even better. I never really thought that this would happen to me. I never believed someone could love, well, me. But they did. He did. And despite his 'reputation', despite his lifestyle, despite everything everyone had ever told me, I loved him just as unconditionally. But will everything stay in harmony? How long will my paradise last for until my past comes back? Will they haunt me? Catch me? Kill me? "Livia? Tiago?" I ask, my voice breaking slightly. If they're here, then.... "Where is he? Where's-" "Gattina." All the breath in my lungs disappear as I turn to find the source of the voice. Half-way through my turn, I can see his dark silhouette at the end of the hallway. When I breathlessly say my next word, it feels as if I can breathe properly again for the first time in over a month. "Lupo." I run towards him without a second thought, sprinting full speed at him, and jump into his awaiting arms. He engulfs me in the warmest hug I've ever felt, entrapping me entirely - not that I mind. I cry in joy at finally being reunited with him as I bury my head into his neck, burrowing myself into him and vowing never to let him go again. Unwrapping myself from him, I look up at into his eyes. They're filled with love and relief, the same emotions I imagine my eyes are filled with. That quickly changes when his face contorts into one of pain. "Cole?" my brows furrow in confusion. He lets out a pained and strangled noise before he drops to his knees, collapsing at my feet. I gasp when I see Viktor behind him, holding a bloodied knife. A/N: Hey guys. Be prepared for dark themes, mature language, mature scenes, and so much more. Enjoy the roller-coaster, you are locked in... - Potential PTSD triggers! - BDSM themes! - Mentions of rape. - Mentions of abuse. - Mentions of torture. - Gun play! - Knife play! - Dark kink! (Warnings will be put at the beginning of potential trigger chapters)

"N-No... don't stop. Don't fucking stop." I replied and hugged him tightly, my voice thick with desperation and longing for him but I don't fucking care now. "I want this and I want you....Now." "I-I....I can't do this to you but. It would be...just fucking from my side Alysia." He replied softly while his one hand went on my hair, brushing my locks away from my face and the other around my waist, caressing it softly over the fabric. I know it would be just fucking from his side. I know he will never like me like I do. I know he will never want me like I do. I know he will never care for me like I do. I know everything, Smith. But still, the forbidden craving to get touched by him, to get touched by my... husband, overpowered my ability to make the correct decision and I gave up. I fucking gave up myself to him. *** Under Confident and disappointed Alysia Marie Johnson. Cold and Insecure Smith James Parker. They are two lost pieces of the same puzzle looking for peace. Read to find out what happens when they meet each other after 4 years. . . . . .
