Arizona lives in Harlem, New York. Everything was fine with her and her little sister. After something tragic happens, finding the man who did it was her goal. She was alone now, fighting and clawing her way to the top.
Meeting him wasn't great, she was angry with him for almost beating her. She was the best and he was too. Thinking it was a one time, one night thing was a stupid thought.
He wasn't safe and he didn't think he was really a great person at all, but he was a good fighter. So was she, the best fighter he had seen before including himself.
Becoming part of a family wasn't on her to do list, yet here she is. Meeting new people, doing new and exciting things, and falling for a man she never thought would even look her way.
His smile was captivating. She fell without even realizing it. His eyes were her favorite thing by far.

He growls, placing more kisses to my jawline. He can't get me out of his head. I suppress a smile from spreading on my lips. "So is that a yes?" He reaches down under my shirt, grabbing my breast. My back arches, slightly for him. God, this isn't good....but it feels too good to stop. His hands feel so intoxicating on my body. I just want more. More touching, more of him. "Rosalina, I need words." He demands, kissing me. Placing my arms around his neck as I play with his hair, "What would happen if I said yes?" I tease. "It means you are mine to please and vice versa. Something we both want." He says, his body towering over mine. Both want.... His hands on my breast, kneading and playing with me. I feel like I'm going to explode. "No strings attached." I reiterate, my lips lingering right below his. "No feelings'.' He responds, almost too quickly. "Think you can handle that?" "Yes.'' I lied. We both did. All rights reserved.Complete

Guns And Laces (Sinbound Series) ✔️
"You were a nurse, no?" I asked her. "Now, I am a stripper." She replied with a hint of agitation in her tone. At loss of words, I stayed quiet as she turned to walk away. Even in the dark sky of light, I could make out her perfectly carved figure and with a newfound interest, I started to walk behind her. She turned around with a frown marred on her face, "Don't follow me." I grabbed the back of her head and pushed her against the wall, "What are you doing here?" Her violet eyes lit up with a fire, "I don't see how that's your business." Her voice was naturally soft but her tone was harsh. And that ticked me off. Pressing my body against hers, I answered, "You are my business, Rheannon. I own that club." I could feel the rapid rise of her breathing just before she pushed me away, "You own that club, Angelo. Not me." Saying that, she ran away. - Rheannon Aurora Pallas, an excellent nurse who have always outdone her duties, had to leave the hospital she worked at as well as the country she called home.

The Devilman's Flower (+16)
#3 of the Devilman series. Could be read as a stand alone. He came to our school as a new student from Romania this year and I didn't put much thought into it. He hung out with the untouchable boys who are the Castillo's and Evan Carney which surprised everyone because he's a complete nerd. But I know him better than them. Me, Cassia Florin, eighteen year old innocent girl with good grades, abusive parents and a backstabbing sister. My friends aren't much better either. I was a programmed robot, only allowed to live my life based on my what my parents allowed. But that was all before I met Luca. My bad boy undercover. He was drawn to me for some reason and I could never put my finger over it till he explained everything that pulled me to him. This boy didn't look at danger he was the danger itself. Seductive to look at, melting to speak to and burning to touch. I'm scared of him. No, no. Not scared. Terrified. He made me see , he made me live and made me feel alive.

Sin Of Mafia

But protecting him became my secret sin. I hid in the dark to save him, even when my hands were stained with everything he should fear. And when he finally touched me, it was like setting fire to every rule I'd ever known. We loved in whispers. We kissed like war. Every moment with him felt stolen, because it was. In our world, nothing beautiful survives. And when the truth comes for us, one of us will have to choose. Pull the trigger... or take the bullet. This isn't a love story. It's a funeral with a heartbeat.
