Almost Mine
Ivy Knight never meant to fall into anyone's orbit. Xavier Blackwell didn't give her a choice. What starts as attraction turns into something heavier. His attention, his presence, the way everything else seems to fade when he's near. Xavier's world is controlled, powerful, and closed off, and once Ivy steps inside it, she realizes there are rules she was never told... and boundaries she can't see until she's already crossed them. People from Ivy's past resurface, familiar and unfinished, but they don't touch her the way they once did. The man she thought she loved feels distant now. The man who unsettles her feels inevitable. Being with Xavier isn't soft. It isn't safe. But walking away feels impossible. And Xavier Blackwell doesn't lose what he wants. *Almost Mine* where attraction becomes obsession, and self-control is just another lie. WARNING: This story is a bit of a slow burn and contains mature content.Complete
