She was never meant to escape.

Raised in the shadows of a ruthless gang, Eris has spent her life as a weapon-silent, deadly, and unquestioning. Until a single mission changes everything. A name she wasn't meant to see. A truth she was never meant to uncover.

Misha has been hunting the ghosts of his past for years, chasing a shadow-an assassin known only by whispers. He never expected to find a woman behind the mask. And he never expected her to offer him a deal.

Their alliance is dangerous. Their chemistry is lethal. And as they spiral deeper into the darkness, one question remains: When the time comes, will they save each other-or destroy everything they've become?All Rights Reserved

Taunting the Stalker by redthorns06

He's obsessed, insane even. He has to know her, watch her, touch her. She's his, and nothing will stop him. But she's smarter than he thinks.. ••• "You call me if he bothers you ever again, yeah?" "It's really nothing I-" he cuts me off "You'll call me." He says firmer "okay?" "Okay" I say softly, looking up at him. He's so fucking close to me. We just stand there for a moment and I'm having trouble remembering how to breathe. He leans closer, gently tilting my head up so that my eyes stay on him. "Good girl"

Scouts honour by RAZOR195

"You have fifty five minutes left," "I'm not going anywhere, I can't allow you to release that virus. Drew let's out a chuckle, "I'm not a murderer," Drew stops smiling for the first time and frowns, "I don't know what bullshit they've been feeding you amateurs about me but I'm not the bad guy," she shakes her head and huffs, "you are the bad guys, not me," "You expect me to believe that," Joel asks rhetorically. Drew smiles and shrugs, "no, but you have forty seven minutes left, I really don't want to kill you," "Then don't and let me bring you in," Drew let's out a laugh, "so they can torture me and lock me up in a metal cell where I'll live like an animal till I die?" "This is my case," "I know Joel, but they'll 'take it from here' the moment you bring me in and you'll never see me again," Joel frowns and realises Drew is right, they will take her away, "don't you deserve it?" Joel asks lifting her eyebrows. Drew smiles and nods slightly, "let's say I do; do you even know what I did?" Joel shakes her head. "What I did Joel; was find out I was the bad guy the whole time," Drew whispers harshly. Joel shakes her head, "you were helping people, bringing them in and..." "And what Joel? Killing them? Imprison them? What do you think they do with all those weapons?" Drew shakes her head, "I won't allow you to take this one; I can't, and I'll kill you if I have to," Joel sighs, "I really can't just abort the mission without a reason," Drew points at the bracelet on her wrist, "break that, they'll be here in ten minutes and you'll have an excuse to aborting the mission," Joel frowns, "a false alarm?" "No, you've been shot," just then Drew pulls the trigger hitting Joel in her chest missing her heart only by inches.

As a battle-hardened fighter with a past as guarded as her heart, she takes every mission in stride - until she's assigned to protect Eri Aisaka, the unpredictable daughter of a powerful Yakuza boss. Eri is headstrong, bold, and has little patience for bodyguards, especially one who challenges her every move. What starts as a job quickly becomes something far more dangerous.

My Fathers Killer by ellelouisa02

A story in which Don Lucian of the Russian mafia becomes deeply enamoured with the notorious assassin known as 'Whisper' within the criminal underworld. ---------------------------- With eyes the color of fallen autumn leaves, and the confidence of ten kings, she was my world, my life, and my death. In her, I found the spring, summer, autumn, and winter of my soul. I often wondered if I was loving her wrong, maybe I was too obsessive, I thought I might die when she wasn't close enough to me. That's not an exaggeration, I truly thought I was going mentally insane. Her touch was the only thing to calm me. I fully believed that if she were to stab me, I'd be quick to check that she didn't nick herself in the process. I loved her. I cherished her beyond measure, like the stars adore the dark sky and the bees adore the flowers. Even if I had nothing else, as long as I had a piece of her, I would find a way to survive. ---------------------------- "You're such a big man, such a strong man and here you are, on your knees for me. That's a little pathetic, don't you think Lucian?" "You can have me anywhere, any country, any planet, any universe and I will be on my fucking knees for you. I beg for your love, my angel, and I will until the day I die." "Awh" I coo and bend down a little so our faces are just inches away "you will be begging for a very, very long time"
