"Lily," Vivian's voice was smooth, but there was a sharp edge beneath her calm exterior.
Lily's breath hitched. She turned her head, unable to meet Vivian's eyes directly. 
"Vivian... I'm with someone else now."
Vivian's eyes narrowed, a dark flicker of jealousy crossing her face.
 She took a deliberate step forward, her gaze unwavering. 
"Someone else?"
Lily nodded, her voice barely more than a whisper.
 "Yes. I... I can't be here with you."
A cold smile crept across Vivian's lips.
 "You think being with someone else will erase what we had? You think that will make me disappear?"
Lily's voice trembled.
 "It's not about erasing anything. I just... I need to be away from you."
Vivian's eyes glinted dangerously. 
"Away? Do you really believe you can hide from me? From what we are?"
Lily's fear was palpable. She gripped the armrests of the chair as if they were her only lifeline. 
"Vivian, I'm scared."
Vivian stepped closer, her tone dropping to a chilling whisper.
 "You should be. Because no matter who you're with, you will always be mine. And I'll make sure you know it."
The room seemed to close in around Lily as Vivian's words settled over her like a suffocating fog. 

✾ ✾ ✾ ✾ ✾ ✾ ✾ 

Three years had passed since Lily Thompson fled from Dr. Vivian Kane's life, but the shadows of their turbulent past lingered. Now, unexpectedly reunited in Vivian's opulent office-adorned with rich mahogany and stunning city views-the blurred memories of their heated, unresolved relationship surged back to life. Lily, trembling with fear and nostalgia, faced 	Vivian's piercing gaze-one that mixed surprise with an unspoken intensity. The years apart seemed to vanish, leaving the room charged with a palpable tension. As their eyes met, it became clear: their unresolved past had found them once more, demanding confrontation and unearthing buried truths.

"𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐬𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞." He glared at her with a cold, harsh expression and said, "What am I supposed to do with you, my doll?" Fear washed over her, but she gathered her strength and begged, "Please let me go. My children need me. They're so young, and they can't survive without me, please." Tears streamed down her beautiful amber eyes, but she tried to hold back her emotions in front of him. The thought of her little ones made her feel suffocated and hopeless. The man seemed moved by her tears, but his face remained bitter as he said, "You should have thought about this before you ran away with that bastard." Shocked and hurt, she shot back, "Do you even hear what you're saying? Do you have any proof of these accusations?" She continued, "How could you think so little of me? We've been together for almost four years. I always believed you loved me." Tears filled her eyes as she added, "This isn't love-love is built on trust. I trusted you completely, never questioning why you came home late, why you seemed to hate me, or why you left me on our wedding night. Yet here you are, ruining my reputation without any proof." He ignored her desperate questions and tightened his grip on her neck, his eyes turning red with fury. "Trust? You talk about trust. It was my faith in love that kept you alive. If anyone else were in your place, I'd kill them without a second thought." She struggled to escape his choking hold, fighting desperately. Suddenly, he released her and walked away, his anger clear as he never looked back. Coughing and gasping for air, she lay there, her body trembling. Tears blurred her vision as she felt like a broken soul. The nightmare her life had become seemed overwhelming. 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤-𝟏: 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬

"Don't you get it? You know when you try to run away, punishment like this happens." he said teasingly, squeezing my chest. I gasped for air, I really didn't try to run away. They're overreacting! The wet noise coming from below, being penetrated in both holes by two men, while the third one just watch me. Synchronously the two men sank their teeth on both sides of my neck, drinking my blood as I felt them coming inside, their dick twitching inside of me, tingles shooting through my whole body from legs to arms. "W-Wait!" I tried to catch my breath but they kept thrusting, unevenly in and out, not giving me breaks after I just came with them. The sound of my butt in contact with their hips got louder and the motion became harder and faster. Almost passing out. The sudden pinch on my chest awakened me, I looked down to see a pair of hands squeezing them. "You'll be staying up all night for us baby. We have a lot to catch up on." He pulled my head toward his, collapsing our lips togethers. His tongue forced its way into my mouth, causing me to release my wet moans. "It won't be ending anytime soon so I hope you came prepared." peeking to the side I noticed the third one starting to stroke himself. I wanted to do if for him. Letting out a whine against the man lips, the third one looked up at me with lustful eyes. "This is a punishment, don't forget. You're not supposed to be enjoying this." he said. I don't like this punishment anymore. __________ Astra Melva, a girl with a rare blood type that attracts every vampire around here. All her life she tried to convince people she's normal.

The strong pull to her. The desire to have something you never thought you would want again. A glance turned into an obsession. And he would stop at nothing to get her.

Circumstances run in his favor as the woman of his dreams landed into his domain. He would never let her go. A chance glance turned obsession. #1 BWWN! #1 Mafia [4/12/24] *Book excerpt* -- Her cheeks turned red, ever so slightly through her chocolate skin. Her skin looked and felt so smooth. She liked the compliments, the Italian flare. It ropes many women, but the way she looked at me with her big almond eyes had my mind racing and my body in overdrive. She was not immune to my charm, even in her current situation. Her hair was in a slick bun. I was sad not to be able to see the curls adorne her face. And yet she stared at me again, watching me like a dog. Curious gazes. It was fun to tease, and the response I got back over affirmed my teasing. She seemed more relaxed with me. She looked away from me. She stared out the window watching the street ride by. It was silent for a while as I texted my subordinates basic commands. Nothing conspicuous. "Alessio, where are you taking me," her voice piped up. Seems like it took her a while to muster up the courage. I loved her sweet voice when it spoke me me and when she said my name... It was such a turn-on. She wasn't supposed to really ask questions. I don't like lots of questions. I thought about the best way to respond but opted not to say anything at all. She was as stubborn as always, forgetful too. She scanned around me before huffing to herself and looking back out the window. -- Started 06/08/2023- 8/14/2023 Highest Rankings: #7 Arranged [4/26/24] #26 Older #1 Bwwm #13 Man #1 Mafia #1 lovetragedy #6 lovestory #5 Blackwomen

"Shh, shh, now baby-girl, it's alright, you're safe, don't cry" he soothed, moving closer to me. "N-Noah, I w-want to go home," I sobbed, feeling weak from my inability to talk without stuttering. A gasp left my parted lips as his hand forcefully connected with my cheek, "You are home, so I don't want to hear that crap from you, okay?" shaking, I looked down at my feet, his gaze too menacing to hold. "I said, do you understand" he spit through clenched teeth, "y-yes, I'm sorry" I whispered, a new wave of tears making their appearance. "Good girl, now I need you to keep being a good girl, okay?" nodding, my eyes met his dark ones. His form towered over me, making me feel small and irrelevant. "Words, Embry!" He demanded as I stuttered out a quiet yes. I studied him cautiously as he walked towards the far end of the room, shuffling through drawers before stalking back towards me and crouching down. I sucked in a breath as I saw the knife in his hand, his face held a mischievous grin as it glinted in the light. "Now baby-girl, you see, as much as I hate to, you need to be punished, do you know why?" Warning! This story is for mature audience, it contains strong language, abuse, mature themes and sensitive topics. Please enjoy, -Aphrodite.

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine."
