"I'm not a killer, Vetrova. But let another guy touch you-hell, even look at you the wrong way-and he will regret even breathing near you."
"W-why are you doing this?" I tried not to shutter but my voice broke.
"Because you're mine. The sooner you accept it, the easier it'll be." he said looking straight into my eyes.
꩜ ｡ ⋆୨୧˚ - ★
Enesia Vetrova has it all-beauty, chaos, and a crown no one dares to snatch. The ultimate ride or die, she rides through life on her own terms: bold, loud, and untouchable. She's reckless, sharp-tongued, and thrives on drama. Every guy wants her. Every girl envies her. And.
Killian Volk? He despises her.
Killian, the hockey team's cold-blooded star, lives by rules. He doesn't chase. He doesn't fold. He doesn't get distracted. On the ice, he's lethal. Off it, he's silent, ruthless, and untouchably cold. The one thing that rattles his control? Enesia Vetrova-reckless fire in human form.
They're opposites in every way.
And when velvet ties start to bind them tighter than either expected, hatred isn't the only thing left burning.
Velvet ties can strangle.
Velvet ties can bind.

I Love to Hate you
-- "You think you're so tough hm?" He says, getting closer to me. Both of our eyes lustful, deep and glued to each other's. "I am" I certify the one standing in front of me, our proximity making me nervous, but I'm refusing to show any signs of it. "You're testing my patience, princess."

He delicately drags his finger along my jaw and over to the bruise under my eye. His lips were settled right under my ear, tickling me as he spoke. "Looks like you need me." He mumbles, and I turn my head to look at him, our faces were inches apart, our noses touching. "Even if you don't. If something happens to you," he pauses, pressing his lips together in thought for a moment, as if he changed his line of thought, "who do I have left to be mean to?"Complete
Veil Of Thorns
Enemies by blood. Bound by fate. Destroyed by love. They were childhood frenemies. Eight years apart did nothing to bury the hatred... or the heat. Zoe Fischer thought she buried the Volkov name the night Killian disappeared without a trace - the night he left her bleeding and broken with the taste of heartbreak still fresh on her tongue. Now, eight years later, he's back - darker, crueler, and more dangerous than any memory she's ever held onto. He's her new college classmate. Her group project partner. Her walking, breathing nightmare. Hatred is a thin veil hiding something darker. Something forbidden. Something that curls around her throat whenever he gets too close- ...whispering promises of pain, pleasure, and the kind of obsession that always ends in ruin. He still knows exactly how to break her. How to own her. How to turn her body into his favorite weapon- ...even if she swore she'd never fall for him again. --- Enemies by blood. Addicted by fate. Bound by something neither of them were ever supposed to survive.

We Dream at Midnight (Ember 2)
Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).

alone, together
Rowan Cassidy has a plan: survive senior year, get the scholarship, and don't fall apart. He doesn't have time for distractions - especially not Killian Vale, his infuriatingly beautiful neighbour who's made a career out of ruining his life one sarcastic remark at a time. They've "hated" each other for years. Allegedly. On paper. Except it's the kind of hate that pauses in the air between them. That stares too long. That sounds a hell of a lot like something else when no one's looking. Killian is chaos in a leather jacket. Rowan is order in calloused palms and colour-coded binders. They're opposites, always have been - but when a series of late nights, care-filled actions, and too-close-to-honest arguments start to peel back their seemingly failing defence mechanism, Rowan's perfectly managed world starts to spiral. And maybe the person he's spent years fighting is the only one who actually sees him. Sharp-tongued, slow-burning, and emotionally messy - this is not your typical love story. It's worse. It's theirs. A classic, almost clichéd frenemies-to-lovers tale; one gloriously inconvenient love story.
