Obsession.
If you like fantasy/romance you should try my story The Flower Longed Death. It is written a LOT better than this one is! -------------------------- "You must've got the wrong impression if you keep expecting to get away with shit like this, so let me make things clear," He says with a calm smile. He moves his face closer to mine, losing the lighthearted grin that had previously cooled my nerves. I get a better look at the scar across the bridge of his nose, and the vague one X'ed onto his lips. Now I want them even more. -------------------------- Eighteen year old Mileva never thought her past would catch up to her after leaving years ago to live in New York City. She didn't think she wanted it to. However, she also didn't think she would cross paths with a guy like Valen, the Italian Mafia's heir. He's only twenty three, but he's somehow the most attractive and intimidating man she has ever met, let alone heard of. Mileva battles her anxiety adjusting to this new life of hers, while Valen is just getting comfortable with his new obsession. -------------------------- Word count: 110,000 There is a lot of graphic content, so please read carefully! List of specific warnings can be found in the introduction. The writing gets better as the story progresses, I promise.Complete

But his father had other plans-grief wasn't an excuse in the mafia world. To secure their empire, Damian was forced into an arranged marriage with Natalia Kozlov, the fiery and untouchable daughter of the ruthless Russian mafia. From the moment they said "I do," their marriage was a warzone. She was his enemy. He was her captor. Over time, the lines between duty and desire blurred, and despite everything, they fell for each other in a way neither of them had ever imagined. She realized It wasn't hate she felt for Damian Russo. It was fire. When Natalia uncovered Damian's past, the man behind the monster, her own walls crumbled. And with them came the truth she had hidden her whole life. She wasn't a Kozlov at all. ***** Damian's eyes darkened, his lips curling into a smirk as he brushed a thumb over my trembling bottom lip. "Bite your lip," he murmured, her voice low and commanding. "Because once I start, you're going to forget how to breathe." ****** ********************************** (Match Made In Mafia #Book3) WEDDED IN MAFIA contains explicit language, intense action, and heavy smut.
