SNIPPET OF CHAPTER 5: "In one swift motion, he came close to me, flipped my hand over, took the gun and turned me around so that my back was to his chest. His hand held mine behind my back and pointed the gun at my temple as he leaned dangerously close to my ear. I could feel a massive erection at the top of my tailbone. His cool breath sent shivers down my neck. I was too hesitant to not restrain." ~STOLEN~ mafia/romance/tragedyComplete
