Maeve knows better than this, surely.
She knows better than to stay on the path his gaze will follow.
She knows better than to let him get under her skin.
But Maeve is a masochist. Or is it sadist? She always gets the two mixed up.

[CASTELLO DI CARTE MAFIA CHRONICLES, #2] [Formerly known as *Possession: The Game of Clubs*] 𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄 What is worse than being forced to marry a man you've never even met? I'll answer it. Drinking with a man who's off-limits and sleeping with him just to prove a point. Plus points, if he's not the man you're supposed to marry. After one drunken mistake with the enemy, I swore to never entertain him again. But the next time we met, things turned a little too hot in the bathroom. He was the enemy, one I should've known better than to involve myself with, but I couldn't resist his unbreakable allure. His need for me kindled a spark that made me lose control and forget who I was. Sex was not the only reason. It was the way he softly whispered sweet words into my ears and the way he held me. It was the intensity with which he looked at me and made me feel desired. There was one tiny problem. His marriage was in four months. To the woman who called me her friend. 𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐎 They say there's pleasure in tasting the things you cannot have. Forbidden passion has its own mind when deep-rooted inside someone. I never knew the depth of these words until I saw her-the woman desired by many but touched by none. She was the brightest pink rose in a sea full of white ones. She was covered in thorns, a boundary only I dared to cross because I had nothing to lose. Only, she wasn't mine, nor I, hers. Every moment we spent together reminded us of the reality meant for us. Some sacrifices are made for the greater good, but what good comes from leaving behind the one thing you never had and have finally found? She surrendered herself to me. Body and soul. Until the end of our agreement. So what if one of us wanted more in the end? What if the one was me?

His Sanity, Her Sin by HerWhisperer

They say he's beyond saving-cold, unhinged, a monster in human skin. Locked away in Ravenson Asylum, 𝙆𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙣 𝙃𝙖𝙮𝙚𝙨 has spent years in the dark, his mind sharpened into a weapon, his heart a thing of the past. Emotionless. Calculating. Predatory. The world believes it owns him, that he'll die behind these walls. But he knows better. He's been waiting. Watching. And now, it's time to escape. The night before his execution, he offers her a choice. "Come with me, or stay behind. But if you stay, you'll never see me again." 𝘼𝙣𝙖𝙮𝙖 𝙈𝙚𝙝𝙩𝙖 should say no. Should run. Should turn her back on the man who watches her like she's his next breath, who speaks in a voice that slips under her skin like a promise. But she doesn't. She's spent too long studying the wreckage of his mind, tracing the scars he doesn't let the world see. There's something inside him- something human, something hers. And maybe she's just as mad as they say he is, because she takes his hand... and never looks back. A stolen ship. A week at sea. A secluded island where the rest of the world doesn't exist. Here, he is no longer their prisoner-but he's still not free. His past is hunting him, and if he doesn't kill the ghosts that haunt him, they will destroy them both. But the real danger isn't the blood on his hands. It's what happens when he finally lets himself feel. Because she's his now. And Kieran Hayes does not know how to love without obsession, without destruction, without ruin. She saved him once. But can she save herself from him? ____________________

I look down at the frail frame of the girl. I unlatched her cage and nudged her with my foot. It seems cruel, but the other trainers would have done much worse to see her ignoring their commands to rise. "Wake up, you're being moved," I say to her, crouching down and shaking her. She lies unmoving and a heaviness settles in my chest. I move her hair from her face and press my fingers to her neck, trying to find a pulse. I purse my lips, feeling the faint beating of her weak heart. I look at the girl, watching her struggle to push air in and out of her lungs. I can tell she is sick. Do I put her in the truck with the others, or take her to the doctor? The truth is, nothing good awaits her in the truck. The only question is if it is crueler to go put her with the others, unconscious and barely holding on, or to take her to the doctor. I feel sick just thinking about it. She either dies here, or will wish she would have. I can't turn a blind eye to her though, I can't stand and watch as the life leaves her. Perhaps she will be thankful for me saving her life. ---- Hazel. She's a pretty little thing, far too precious and fragile for the life she was born into. Having lived most of her life in a training facility, she knows little of the beauty of the world or the people in it. A punishment gone bad, forever mares her, leaving her crippled, undesirable. Axel. He's an average man with an abnormal size. Being a Trainer, he is expected to be cold and cruel, someone he is not. It pays him money though, so perhaps living up to that expectation isn't that bad? When confronted with a choice he finally has to choose who he wants to be. Will he live up to others expectations? Or will he choose what may not be easiest, but what is right?
