"He looked at her like he just realized what love is."

"Can I..." I hesitated for a moment, but because it's the one thing I needed most, I pushed through, "will you just hold me for a minute."
He didn't hesitate and tugged me against his chest. His arms wrapped tightly around me, and then I felt his breaths warming the top of my head.
Slowly, I turned my cheek, and then I listened to his steady heartbeat. I shoved all my fear, my confusion, and my uncertain feelings for him aside and allowed myself to be weak.
I closed my eyes, and grabbing hold of his sides, I fisted the fabric of his shirt. Before the tears come, I pulled away from him but he took one look at my face then yanked me back to him.
Emotions whirled in my chest, and then a new one joined the chaos. Affection. It's as if he knows exactly what I need without me having to say a word.
He pressed kisses against my hair, his voice an anchor that kept me from drowning as he murmured, "It's okay, love."
Another kiss, and his arms clamped tightly around me. "You have me."

His Ruthless Temptation
I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers.

Kiss Me Like a Lie
He hated her. Not the I-don't-like-you kind of hate. No. He hates her with every fibre of his being. Her mere presence set him off. He hates her know it all smile and the way she brushes her hair out of her face when she is upset. The way she played with her hands when she's nervous or made snarky remarks whenever he walked into a room. He hates her with every fibre of his being. She hated him. With every fibre of her being. With his sarcastic comments and devilish grin. She hated the way he never would address her politely, or at all for that matter. He was rude and annoying and she hated it all. Everything about him. She couldn't stand it. But then again, there's a very thin line between hate and love... - Dark romance - Enemies to lovers - Arranged marriage. - Forced proximity. - Revenge.

"I thought you really liked me." She whispered with moist hazel eyes and despair. His heart spasmed at the view, seeing how hurt she is. For a moment or two his steal gray eyes filled with solicitude for her which he immediately brushed off as his ego and self-esteem overpowered his mind. He chuckled softly taking slow predatory steps towards her. "Oh darling! I never thought you to be this immature. I just manipulated you to think that way. Only thing I feel for you is lust and vengeance." With smirk on his face he approached her slowly yet in long strides. She stepped back with fear written all over her face till her back hit the wall.Lengkap

His hand slid up, fingers rubbing circles over my underwear. "Aiden," I gasped, not sure if it was a warning or a plea. He stilled, his grip on my hip tightening. "Say my name like that again." I swallowed, my heartbeat hammering against my ribs. "Aiden." His lips curled against my skin. "So fucking wet." And then, without warning, he lifted me. "You wanted to tease me?" he murmured against my skin, voice thick with restraint. "Wanted to make me jealous?" My breath unsteady. "Worked, didn't it?" Aiden chuckled darkly, his hips pressing into mine just enough to make my stomach flip. "Careful, printsessa," he murmured, his fingers tightening their hold. "You might not be ready for what happens when I stop holding back." His words sent a thrill down my spine. "Maybe I wan't you to not hold back?" I say challenging him. He chuckles "I know you want me bad , but no matter how much you tease me. I won't fuck you. Not yet." I was almost disappointed when he added. "I plan to save that for our wedding night and trust me Malyshka, that day I will fuck you so bad that you will beg me to slow down. Your screams will fill my whole damn mansion. I'll make you cry in pleasure. Mark my words." He whispered against my lips and with one final kiss he let me go.Lengkap
