His Innocence by _sophstories

[COMPLETED] [UNEDITED] Athena Vasilios had just figured out that her parents had been leaders of the Italian Mafia. Unfortunately, they've passed away and passed it down onto her. Athena isn't ready in any way to lead a mafia, as she's just getting used to everything. When Grayson Alvarez, the leader of the Spanish Mafia, steps in and offers to help her, he doesn't expect to fall in love with her along the way. He's a ruthless murderer who wouldn't hesitate to shoot if they were in his way. So why is he hesitating for Athena? He shouldn't let her see him without his mask, he shouldn't let her help him with his wounds, he shouldn't let her sleep in his own bed and walk around in his t-shirts. He shouldn't. But he can't help it. He feels this growing attraction towards her and he can't fathom why. But why does Grayson feel the need to want more? He needs more. And he will stop at nothing until he's hers. - "I'll take all her pain away. Make her dreams come true. And I'll continue to love this girl with every fiber in my body. I'm addicted to a drug that I didn't even know existed, and I never want to let go." - Grayson Alvarez.

His ways move her in more ways than she can fathom. Can she live with those feelings, knowing who he is? Will she ever get rid of her fear of him and give him a chance? Can she really take his hand and step into his chaotic world, full of danger, and sleepless nights? He says he can protect her, can he really?

Trust me, you'll love it so much...you'll be screaming my name when he is inside you." Athena wakes up to find a familiar sexy man staring at her from across an unfamiliar bedroom.
