"I hate you, Jace. I wish we had never met. I want you to leave me alone, forever." Jace's eyes narrow, his lips pressing into a thin, hard line. His hand tightens around my neck, just enough to send a cold shiver down my spine as I struggle to catch my breath. I avert my gaze, focusing anywhere but on him, desperately trying to steady my nerves.

"You don't hate me, Anabella..." His voice trails off as he grips my jaw, forcing me to meet his eyes. "In fact, I bet you're aching for me right now." He whispers, his voice dripping with seduction.

Anabella had always dreamed of living on the West Coast. A few months after turning 23, she makes the leap and moves to San Diego, California, following a tough breakup with her long-term boyfriend. She lands a well-paying job as a barista and, to her delight, finds a best friend-something she had always deeply craved. 

Then, she meets her best friend's cousin, Jace Easton. By day, Jace runs a successful business, but by night, he's a thrill-seeking street racer. Anabella promises herself she'll stay away from him, but the magnetic pull of his dangerous allure makes it impossible. Jace, on the other hand, has his sights set on her-and only her. What Anabella doesn't realize yet is that she's falling for the devil himself. And sometimes, you can't help who you're drawn to.

"I should be allowed." He says with gritted teeth. His voice filled with something. A thing a lot like desire that brings me back to crazy reality. A reality where we are tangled up against each other. "You should be al...-" A gasp escapes my mouth as he lifts me up or rather goes further low for me. His hands, back on my waist. Face buried in the crook of my neck, he inhales into my skin. Still inhaling he lets out a manly groan that I feel everywhere, in places I didn't know existed. The places that come to life because of him. "I should be allowed to touch you." He rasps in my neck. My back arches up and I close my eyes at his declaration. At his domination. At his intoxication. "You should be allowed to touch me." I insist. Brain empty. Because I can't think right now. He lifts his head up then, I notice his eyes have gone darker. His features have gone wilder. Representing an untamed animal in a way. ------------------------- Isabella Evans is your typical good girl who has a bit of a dark past.

"Why are you late?" He questions, sounding exactly as I remember "You know, traffic." I apologize, making a turn to trudge to him majestically. "If you say so," he nods, the night preventing my view of his face "Thank you, Azazel," I mutter, my tone neither high nor low. "Why did you want to see me?" He polls, his voice resounding through the dark abandoned warehouse. "Yes Azazel," I smirk and try to hide the slight fear of reject nagging at the back of my head. "What is it about?" He implores his arm going to rub his prominent chin as he fixes a stare at me. "I want my soul back," I inform, matching his gaze with mine. "How do you plan on getting it back?" He quizzes, stepping a few inches my way into the light. "With a deal Azazel, or more specifically, a pact," I tell using all my energy to stop my feet from moving backward. "That is very difficult Xander, you sealed your vow with a drop of blood," he argues, the moonlight falling more on his face as he tilts his head upwards. "And I'm here to make and seal another," I converse awaiting a reply. "No, you got what you wanted, to be rich, famous, and loved, what else do you desire?" He asks, his supernatural blue eyes having a scary glint to them. "My soul," I repeat. "Plus I know you love making deals Azazel, no matter how you try to hide it, I see the excitement and mischief you try to conceal." "Same way I see the little fear of rejection bubbling within you, I detect it in your eyes, I hear it in your heartbeat, and the blood pumping through your veins," he sneers in response, squaring his wide shoulders to come off as intimidating. "Hence we understand each other well, we know you've got more to win than lose, and I've got more to lose than win," I confess. "You are right," he lets out in a husky tone, his red lips curving into a hint of a smile. "So what do you say demon, you in?" I invite, my eyebrow raised "I am," he gleams. "What's this pact about?"

"I'll pick it up after this." "After what-" I cut my own words off, my air catching as his warm breath fanned over my cheeks, the smell of him filling my nose. Intoxicating. "You're beautiful you know." My cheeks burned. "Like a thousand wildflowers," I said. His hooded eyes were bright in the dim light, a content smile pulling at the corners of his lips when I spoke.

His forbidden rose by AkankshaS_stories

A dark romance story. ......... The alley reeked of damp stone and shadows. Her breaths came in sharp, ragged gasps, her heart slamming against her ribs like a desperate drum. She ran, but every step was predicted, every move hunted. And then he was there. Before she could scream, his body slammed into hers, pressing her against the cold wall. The night wrapped around them, but she felt the heat radiating off him like fire. His eyes...dark, endless, merciless...pierced through her, stripping every layer of defiance bare. "Don't... ever... run from me again," he growled, low and vicious, a predator savoring the hunt. "You belong to me. you are mine. only fucking mine" "Who said?I am not yours. " she protested. he chuckled and whispered "Said the way you breathe when I am this close to you. said the way you stare at my lips and said the way you are not pushing me now when I am not even holding you tightly." "You are my obsession....and when a mafia is obsessed with something it's so dangerous my rose...."

Warning: DARK ROMANCE Story contains detailed mature scenes possessing dubious consent not recommended for age group below 18 years old. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Prologue Shadows engulfed his angelic features oozing devilish intentions. It wasn't until he took a step towards her did the gravity of situation descended upon and even then she couldn't do anything but shake in fear. She knew making a run for it won't do a thing, calling was not an option and if she screamed...she opened her mouth to shrill but a meek plea came out. Her body's lack of response terrified her, tears gathered in her orbs with horrible anticipation. With his each step nearer she gripped the frame of her window tighter hoping to keep her balance. It took him three steps to be inches away from her body. He slowly took his suit jacket off, making himself comfortable as he amusingly watched her shaken face. She was so horror-stricken to even look at his face. She gulped as his hand cupped her neck in a gentle grip, guiding her eyes to his. His eyes slipped from the hold of her eyes to her lips in a second. She grew self conscious all over again. His heated gaze on her lips was unwavering. In the moment of bewilderment and growing self awareness her tongue unconsciously wiped her lips wet and it was all it took for him to descent on her lips. Description Had it been upto him he'd have broken her down to pieces and never put her togather, instead, he let her build herself, he watched her collapse and stand, die and live, float and drown all the while playing her body like a putty in his hand. Her husband had never been gentle, his ways was one of his kind. He read her like a book and used her spells against her. She was vividly aware of what she was getting herself into but nothing could prepare her for the don who brought everyone on his feet and she was no exception. How would she survive his ways or even would she?

"...many spirituals recognize that when dark one appears he is most beautiful, most wonderful and most engaging. The truth only comes out later..." Tara. University student with many friends, complicated relationship with her parents, and weird obsession with buying heels. Even though she seemingly had everything she could ever wish for, something was missing, something that would fill her life with adrenalin and fire. She wished for something new, something that will turn her whole world upside-down, something passionately wicked. Mateo. Man with a dashing and equally dangerous look. He was dark, mysterious, possessive, controlling, passionate - everything she has ever wanted in a lover. When she first saw him, standing by the entrance of the club, calmly smoking a cigarette as if there was no brawl happening before his eyes - she was fascinated. She thought he was the most beautiful, interesting, and tempting person she has ever seen. Yet, he was something else too, something she didn't know, something she was bound to regret ever finding out. "Be it heaven or hell. Be it life or death. She was his." There is this one thing that can be learned through history lessons: Not all kingdoms and monarchs are the epitome of goodness and honorableness therefore not every prince is the reincarnation of the most beautiful dream. In fact, in most cases, there is something deeply rotten in their beings. It is truly tragic that they are served to young girls on a crystal plate. ---------×--------- Just to make it clear, this is not a fantasy book Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0ghEcse5UA Cover made by: @niXieDust_
