HIS DOLL | 18+ ✓
"What are you?" the older man questioned, his voice a chilling blend of authority and amusement, like a knife wrapped in silk. "Your wife," I replied softly, my tone laced with the submission he seemed to crave. "No," he murmured, his lips brushing mine, the words a dark caress that sent shivers through me. "You are my doll, milaya." He towered over me, his intimidating presence both suffocating and intoxicating. The nickname, spoken in that deep, accented voice, wrapped around me like a chain I couldn't help but love. "You are the only woman who is allowed to warm my bed at night," he said, his voice a dark melody, smooth but unnerving. "The only woman who's allowed to step into my office and bend over my desk, waiting for me to come home so I can fuck you." A cold, low chuckle rumbled from his chest, the sound as sinister as it was intoxicating, sending shivers down my spine. ♡ Dimitri Mikhailov, the russian mobster. His presence filled the room like a storm. He didn't have to move or speak to dominate the room.

Blood & Vows
In the shadow-filled world of Moscow's criminal elite, two warring families have maintained a fragile, blood-soaked equilibrium-until a chance encounter threatens to destroy everything. Viktor Mikhailov rules the city's underworld with cold precision. Feared by enemies and allies alike, he takes what he wants and eliminates anything in his path. His empire is built on calculated ruthlessness, and he's never encountered a weakness he couldn't crush. Alina Sokolov has been sheltered from her father's dangerous world, a prized possession kept untainted by the brutality of the bratva. Intelligent and quietly rebellious, she's built her own sanctuary in the world of art and beauty, far from the violence that funds her privileged life. When their paths collide at an elite Moscow gala, the chemistry between them is immediate and devastating. But Viktor isn't just any dangerous man-he's her father's sworn enemy, the man who's promised to destroy the Sokolov family. And Alina represents everything Viktor has taught himself to resist: innocence, vulnerability, temptation. What begins as a calculated seduction quickly evolves into an obsession neither can control. As Viktor draws Alina deeper into his world of luxury and violence, she must decide if she's willing to sacrifice everything for a man who brings destruction with one hand and passion with the other. In a city where trust is a weakness and love is a liability, Viktor and Alina's forbidden affair threatens not just their hearts, but the empires their families have built on blood and betrayal. ------------Complete
