"That kiss?" She tilted her chin up defiantly, fire blazing in her eyes. "It was nothing but a mistake-a complete waste of my first kiss."
"Waste?" His jaw clenched as he took a step closer, his hand catching her wrist and pinning it above her head against the wall. His voice dropped to a low, dark murmur, "Oh, I'll show you waste."
With a growl, his lips crashed against hers, fierce and unyielding, her pulse hammering as his hand tightened around her waist.
"Still think it was a waste?" he murmured against her lips, his breath hot and teasing.
Her mind screamed yes, but her body betrayed her as her fingers clutched at his shirt, holding him close despite herself. The thrill of it-the sheer, reckless tension-had her craving more, hating him and yet feeling completely alive under his touch.

Alana Knight is the daughter of the most powerful Russian mafia boss. Her beauty is lethal, a stunning blend of elegance and danger, and her intelligence is unmatched. She carries herself with regal dominance, fierce and unyielding. But for him? She's an intense, unbreakable force who won't let herself be controlled, Yet, as much as she resists, something about him sets her pulse racing, a thrill she can't ignore.

Aiden Caruso is the heir to Italy's most infamous mafia empire. He is intimidating yet alluring, a striking force of will and cunning. He's magnetic, a deadly combination of intelligence and smouldering confidence, used to getting what he wants without question. But Alana... challenges him in ways no one else dares, lighting a fire in him he can't control.

Together, they're fire and ice, constantly clashing and yet drawn in ways they can't explain. Both are brilliant, wealthy, and academically competitive. Forced to live in the same luxurious dorm suite, they drive each other to the edge with taunts, jealousy, and a shared love of racing motorcycles, igniting a passion that neither can resist nor control.

36 parts Complete Mature
She was lost and so was he. Who knew that two broken hearts can connect to one. Arabella's world has been rigged since the day she was born. Her fate had been decided for her much longer before she even had been conceived in the womb. So it came as no surprise when she found herself back at the beginning. As if the pain she has previously experienced wasn't enough, she now needs to relearn how to balance her life. She can't help but pray to the universe for a break. She was exhausted from fighting for all she had and watching her life fall apart just as quickly as it had come back together. Dominic's life was something he would forever be grateful for since he knew that he never had it as rough as others. But there were always going to be times that he wanted to give up. With the responsibility of leading an entire mafia and his own past commitment issues, he believes the barrier to letting go is far greater than what others tell him. And when new desires emerge, he notes how his heart skips a beat whenever he sees her. His instinct kicks in, and he raises his barriers twice as high as she lowers hers to make place for him. All I was guilty of, was showing them mercy when no one else would. ~~~ "I saw you, Dominic. I wish you saw me." "I see you." I freeze at his words, my back facing him. "I can only see you. Everything I look at, everything I touch, everything I smell always leads back to you. I spent most of my life thinking that my heart was my biggest weakness. I always imagined that it would be my downfall. I had a loving family and that was enough for me. Getting a girlfriend, getting married, having a family, none of that mattered to me. Before you." He pauses, taking a breath and my eyes water. "I kept any other part of my heart guarded and almost locked. It was as if I didn't have one at all. Even now, its still fucked up. The lock I've kept is warned out though the only person who has its key is you. It's yours."

Rosalina, 24 year old whose family was just killed by her abusive Fiancé, escapes to New York where she gets sent to live with old best friend and Mafia Boss, Alec Salvatore. 27 year old Alec, a cold and dark man who would stop at nothing to have things his way. He was cruel and manipulative but when Rose got involved, that all changed. Not knowing that she might've traded one problem for an even bigger one. "No strings attached." He licks his lips and I don't think I've ever wanted anything more then I do right now. "No feelings." I add. "Good because I can't get your pretty little body out of my head." He growls, placing more kisses to my jawline. He can't get me out of his head. I suppress a smile from spreading on my lips. "So is that a yes?" He reaches down under my shirt, grabbing my breast. My back arches, slightly for him. God, this isn't good....but it feels too good to stop. His hands feel so intoxicating on my body. I just want more. More touching, more of him. "Rosalina, I need words." He demands, kissing me. Placing my arms around his neck as I play with his hair, "What would happen if I said yes?" I tease. "It means you are mine to please and vice versa. Something we both want." He says, his body towering over mine. Both want.... His hands on my breast, kneading and playing with me. I feel like I'm going to explode. "No strings attached." I reiterate, my lips lingering right below his. "No feelings'.' He responds, almost too quickly. "Think you can handle that?" "Yes.'' I lied. We both did. All rights reserved.

If we can't be together in this life we will in the other. Then the next one. And the next one after that. You know how the list goes." I hissed, digging my index finger into his chest.

He savoured every moment of watching me suffer because of what he caused, delighted in the confession of my sick obsession. "Then prove it to me. I'm right here, Leila. Take what's yours." My heart stilled.
