Dancing was supposed to be just a fleeting moment... until he became a rhythm she couldn't escape.
In the heart of Italy, under the golden glow of old-world charm, Clove expected nothing more than a brief escape-a vacation to unwind, not a whirlwind that would upend her world. But when a pair of enigmatic eyes find hers across the ballroom, something shifts. He's a mystery cloaked in elegance, a presence that commands without speaking. And when she finally gathers the courage to ask for his name, it's one she'll never forget.
Luca Ferri.
It should be enough to let go. But the dance isn't over, and neither is their story.
A tale of passion, fate, and a love that lingers like a melody long after the music fades.

Mafia's Guilty Pleasure: A tale of Coffee & Chaos
Luca Valenti doesn't pick fights. He pours coffee, listens to soft jazz, and keeps his world peaceful. But when Isla Moretti, the cold, untouchable mafia queen, storms into his café at midnight, dripping rain and rage, peace is the last thing she brings. She barks out an order like he's one of her men. He leans against the counter, unimpressed. "Try asking nicely." She glares. "Do you know who I am?" Luca places a cappuccino in front of her, slow and deliberate. "Yeah. You're someone who still needs caffeine to function." She should walk out. She should put a bullet in him just for daring to talk back. But instead, she stays. Seething. Sipping. Staring at the one man in this city who doesn't shrink under her name. And for the first time in years, she feels small. It happens again. And again. Their fights grow sharper, their words cut deeper, but Luca never throws her out. Even when she slams her hands on the counter. Even when her voice trembles with something that's not quite anger. One night, after a particularly brutal fight, she lingers at the door. Hesitates. And when she turns back, he's already making her coffee-no words, no expectations. Just warmth waiting for her. She should stop coming back. Should stop letting him see parts of her no one else gets to. But Luca? He doesn't flinch at her darkness. And that terrifies her more than anything. Because the longer she stays, the more she wonders-what if she doesn't want to be feared? What if, just this once, she wants to be understood? Original Story by Akari Image © to the respective owner.

Luca's eyes follow my movements, my tongue darts out of my mouth to lick the portion that sticks out of his boxers. He groans and sucks his bottom lip into his mouth. "You want everything to disappear?" I question, not expecting to get an answer from him and not giving him enough time to think up a reply. Then I yank his boxers down his thighs causing him to jump and kick the thin fabric off, spreading his legs, one hanging off the couch and the other flat against the back cushions. "Fine. I'll make you forget you were ever married." ♭ Reinara Viserra, a rising star in the music industry, exuded confidence and dominance in every move she made. But that's what charmed people.
