"I don't know what to do," I admitted for the first time to both her and myself. "I don't know how to maintain this without fucking something up. I don't know how to keep spending time with you without setting a bad example or slipping up in front of my Family."

Violet sat up and turned to face me. 

"I can't answer that for you," she said with a sad smile. "But I can go. I can make this easier, stay out of your way for a while."

She stood on her knees between my legs, close, but not touching, and watched me with those wide, ocean eyes. I should have told her to go- listened to her suggestion and put some real distance between us. It would have been smarter, safer. But it would feel like cutting off my own hands.

"I don't want that," I murmured, and reached for her waist. 

(excerpt from new version)

---

Vengeance. Vendetta. Violence. These three words are all Violet Harcourt knows. For years, her world has been centered around killing Bill Pfeiffer, the hitman who murdered her father and sister. She's learned the criminal underground inside and out while masquerading as a quiet art student, bringing her closer and closer to her target. Now, it's time to blow her cover, and Bill Pfeiffer's brains out.

Vitale Fierro lives a carefree life at the top of the Salvaggi Mafia. Business has been good, and Chicago isn't a bad place to call home when you're a professional criminal. But when a girl with purple hair murders the Family's prized hitman, he's given the responsibility of what to do with her. To kill, or not to kill seems to be the ultimate question- one he must answer while managing a promotion, taking down a rival Family, and trying not to fall in love.

59 parts Ongoing Mature
UPDATES EVERY WEEK! Vivienne Lee is pretty sure her next-door neighbor is a serial killer. What else could explain his creepily minimalistic apartment décor, inhumanly antisocial behavior, and that frighteningly emotionless demeanor? Oh, and don't forget the random bloody body parts that have a habit of showing up. It's too bad she's not scared of him. Or his unveiled threats on her life. But an emotionally scarred gangster on the run - riding the brink of insanity and followed by a whole host of trouble - is a lot more than she could've bargained for. Massimo Romano is beyond redemption. Capo of the increasingly powerful Romano crime family, the sociopathic Prince of Chicago, hell wrapped in a designer suit. He exemplifies perfect control and restraint... Until now. His job has always come easily to him for the very same reason that his name is feared widely: he's incapable of emotion. But something horrifying and sinister is beginning to happen to him. And it turns out that pesky slipping sanity of his is the least of his concerns. Because his new neighbor is a ray-of-sunshine wildcard dipped in beauty like he's never seen, and she won't leave him alone. Worse, he can't decide if he should kill or protect her. Massimo doesn't count on Vivienne being the first person to look at him like he's human. Or demons from his past coming back to haunt him. Much less a new threat looming on the horizon. Or love. Especially not that. ♛ Deviant Prince is a slow burn, enemies to lovers, dark mafia romance with mature content and dark themes. Read at your own discretion.

[COMPLETED] "Shoot," Joey mumbles, letting out a string of profanities under his breath. We turn around to find a group of men, all with guns, standing where we just came from, and they look pissed... probably because they were forced to run through this tunnel after us. "Thought you could get away, didn't you?" The man who I saw before asks. His husky voice booms in the hollow tunnel, reverberating off of the dirt walls. His voice sounds familiar, and a realization strikes me. It sounds like the man from my dream. I remember him holding a gun and wearing a blue suit, smiling evilly at me. "Leave us alone," Joey says, sounding dangerous and snapping me out of my thoughts. The levity of the situation hits-we need to get out of here. I look around for a route of escape and thankfully I see a light, literally, at the end of the second tunnel. I let out a small, almost inaudible, gasp and nudge Joey. He looks at me and I subtly gesture with my head to the second tunnel. He glances at it and immediately we are on the same page. His jaw sets and he looks at the group. The man speaks up again, chuckling darkly-a sound I will never forget and will be permanently etched into my brain, "You can thank your father for starting this mess." -------------------------- Liza was a normal teenaged girl, living the average life that an eighteen year old girl should be living. She had good friends, good grades, a happy family, a loving boyfriend, and an overall content life, seemingly having everything a person could ask for. However, when she somehow gets thrown into the mix and is in the crossfires of a brutal mafia war that she has no business being a part of, things spiral out of control and she has to do whatever it takes to regain her freedom. In this hectic adventure of gun fights, torture, bank robbing and intimidating mafia men, Liza has to face it all, putting her average life on the line in order to defeat the bad guys and go back to her normal way of living.

The Innocent Target by shr_24
32 parts Complete Mature
Odette Elliot is nothing more than just a regular New Yorker with the most bland life one could ask for. Simple job and a cheap apartment, least expensive clothes and a desire to be left alone entirely. She's never anticipated for more, though her mind desires a ride through the mystery romance novels that keep her company in the nights. What happens when someone has an eye for her that she can't seem to shake off? Vincent Carsozza was hired for one job only and that was to bring the young and pretty Odette Elliot to his employer. The particular case had been peculiar since being a hired hitman had a complete different meaning to his job but his friend's interest leads him to no regret in signing up. Only, she isn't what he expected. She's an innocent. And he doesn't deal the innocents. Things don't seem to be what they did the first night he set eyes on the lamb before she was dragged into a crowd of hyenas. What happens when he decides to change the deal and save Odette Elliot from this nightmare once and for all? •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• "I don't sell women." He spoke. "No, you just transport them to those who do. So noble." She licked her lips. "I don't interfere in anyone's business." "I hate to break your bubble but when you kidnap someone, you interfere in their whole life business." "I mean those who hire." He answered and she didn't look back. "You're charming. Good looking. Maybe even a bit gentlemanly but you are still a thug like the rest of them." She sniffed, "You kidnapped a girl. No explanations. Just a gun and threat and forced will to do what you tell her. So, just because you don't interfere in their business of selling or raping women, doesn't mean that you aren't equally disgusting and selfish and a fucker."
