From enemies to lovers, their fiery hate turns into an all-consuming passion _________________ His fingers came to my chin, forcing me to look at him. "Queen," he murmured, his voice dark, "you wanted to die?" I didn't answer. I just stared at him. He smiled-cold, cruel. "I see. Your mouth isn't working now, is it?" My jaw tightened painfully. Then he leaned closer, his grip firm, his voice dropping to a whisper- "You want to die... but I won't let you." My breath hitched. "You don't get to die unless I allow it." For a second, my mind went blank. I just looked at him. Is he even in his right mind? His hold loosened just enough for me to breathe. My eyes drifted to the edge of the cliff. To the drop. His arms were still around me-loose... but there. I took a deep, shaky breath. "And if I decide," I said quietly, "that I don't care what you allow?" The satisfaction on his face disappeared. I pulled away from him. Without another word, I walked back to the car and got inside. ________ MATURE THEMES #9 feminine #22 lust 🥈 #34 rich #279 billionaire #90 hatelove #149 forced marriage #586 mafia #746 slowburn #203 hate #199 hope #28 sick #28 matureaudience #28 maturelanguage #151 couples #39 maturethemes #203 hatelove

The less I have to see of his beautiful (ahem, I mean stupid) face, the better. It's not just a coincidence that we haven't had a single class together since 7th grade.

Now that avoiding Alex is no longer an option, I quickly find myself in dangerous waters with him. Sink or swim, I'm not going down without a fight.Complete

Both stand on the edge of their dreams, unwilling to lose to the other. One challenge. Two enemies. And a dangerous hypothesis that could blur the line between rivalry and desire-an experiment neither of them is prepared to survive. ✧✧✧ "You love testing me, don't you?" he mutters, grip tightening around her waist. "Maybe I just like watching you lose control," she teases, her lips inches from his. His breath hitches, but his tone stays dangerous. "Careful. You won't like what happens when I finally snap." She leans in, whispering against his mouth. "Try it. I dare you."
