Possession: The Game of Clubs ✓
[CASTELLO DI CARTE MAFIA CHRONICLES, #2]
𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄
What is worse than being forced to marry a man you've never even met? Drinking with a man who's off-limits and sleeping with him to prove a point.
After one drunken mistake, I swore never to entertain him again.
But the next time we met, things did not go as expected.
He was the enemy, one I should've known better than to involve myself with, but I couldn't resist his unbreakable allure.
Sex was not the only reason.
It was the way he softly whispered sweet words into my ears and the way he held me. It was the intensity with which he looked at me that made me feel desired.
There was one tiny problem.
His marriage was in four months.
To the woman who called me her friend.

They say there's pleasure in tasting the things you cannot have. Forbidden passion has a mind of its own when deep-rooted inside someone. I never knew the depth of these words until I saw her.
She was the brightest pink rose in a sea full of white ones. She was covered in thorns, a boundary only I dared to cross because I had nothing to lose.
Only, she wasn't mine, nor I, hers.
Every moment we spent together reminded us of the reality meant for us. Some sacrifices are made for the greater good, but what good comes from leaving behind the one thing you never had and have finally found?
She surrendered herself to me.
Until the end of our agreement.
So what if one of us wanted more in the end? What if the one was me?
