Attention au TW qui sont les suivants : scènes très explicites, kidnapping, mort, violence, et gang. Couché avec un inconnu, pourquoi pas. Lui offrir ce qu'il y a de plus précieux pour une femme, d'accord. Mais apprendre par la suite que c'est en réalité un mafieux est inconcevable pour elle. Alesia, une jeune femme, de vingt-deux ans, décide pour la première fois de sa vie, d'aller dans un bar. Elle veut juste se changer les idées et tout oublier, rien qu'une fois. Elle fait la rencontre d'un homme. A la fois beau et ténébreux. Ils finissent la nuit ensemble. Elle part au petit matin sans se douter un seul instant que cet homme fait partie de la mafia. Elle espère naturellement ne jamais le revoir en l'apprenant mais c'est sans compter sur l'homme qui fait d'elle son obsession. Sa proie. Sa vie à totalement changé depuis lui.

"First you captivated me... then you held me captive." Evelyn was like most college-aged girls working a part-time job when she met Caleb, who came in to her life when she wanted him least but needed him most. He captivated her. By the end of summer, she had fallen in love with him. It was then that he wanted her to meet his parents. And that's when everything changed. Caleb was not the man Evelyn thought he was. He came from a secluded village that did things much differently from the rest of society. Isolated in one of the most sparsely populated areas of the country, it was as if they live in their own little world. They were a traditional village for the most part, but there were some aspects that they did much differently than any other, especially in the ways of courtship. It didn't take long for Evelyn to realize one thing: once you were brought home to meet the parents, there was no escape.

Tic...tac...tic...tac... Ce même bruit incessant l'empêchait de fermer l'œil la nuit...mais était-il vraiment la source de ses insomnies ? « Je peux dormir ici ce soir ? » ...Ou était-ce autre chose. Il n'y avait rien de pire que ressentir le danger autour de nous. De le sentir effleurer notre peau, couper notre respiration...nourrir nos angoisses. Parce que contrairement à ce qu'on pouvait penser, le calme ne régnait toujours pas à Ewing. Le danger n'était pas loin. Il planait autour d'elle comme un fantôme...alors qu'un premier la hantait déjà. Quelque chose se préparait, son instinct lui hurlait de s'enfuir. Car cette fois, elle ne serait pas épargnée. Mais pourtant, lorsque la nuit la plongeait dans le noir complet... ...quelque chose la retenait dans cette ville. « - Réveille-toi, princesse... » « - Reviens-moi si tu peux... »

(Book #1 of Sinners of the Dark) He had a habit of dragging darkness just about everywhere he went. Darkness wrapped in Armani. His personality colder than a block of ice. She was loud, carefree and tainted around the edges. I played by the rules. I did what was asked of me. Until I met the one person that could destroy everything I had worked for. I hated him since our first encounter, and now I was forced to tolerate him. He was called gadyuka in Russia, but he was known as the Sin in the deep underground of New York. Handsome face filled with violence, commanding, gorgeous and deadly. A killer, a thief, a sociopath, and feared by all. A made man. He came dressed in all black. Gold cuff links. Tattoos burned into his skin. He had the ability to pin me to the ground with a single glare and made me feel things I didn't want to. He was absolutely unhinged. Frightening. Everything wrong and everything right. And he held the key to my cage in his palm. And before he crushed the key; I was going to fuck with the serpent, and then I was going to hunt him. He just didn't know it yet. - preview - "I'll fucking ruin your life, Elena. Corrupt every goddamn part of your body, and soul. And when I'm done with you, you'll get on your knees and thank me." His low voice snarled. Desperate. He backed me into a wall. He grabbed me by the throat, but didn't choke me. Just kissed me so deep I forgot whose air I was breathing. "I'm not fucking done with you, Elena. And if it is up to me, I'm not done fucking you either."

Remove your arm and let me help you or..." I trailed off, not able to say more. I was still in shock but I could do this. "Just... just let me help." "No." I glared at Vittore. "Why are you being so damn egotistic?! Let me help you! Do you know what it was like to find you like... and to..." I couldn't even get all the words out. "Let me help you. Please." Begging wasn't something I'd ever do but I just needed him to let me help him. "No-" "Why?!" I suddenly exploded. "Why won't you just let me help you?!" "Because I don't know how to handle it ok?!" Vittore suddenly exploded, his dark eyes glaring at me. "I don't know how to handle these... feelings. Fuck tesoro you drive me crazy! Don't you see that? You make me question everything I've ever known and... I can't..." I watched Vittore as his expression turned determined. "Fuck it." He leaned forward and pressed his lips on mine. * * * WARNING!

Academic Rivals to Lovers in a Boarding School ..... "You wanna know the really dumb meaning behind my name?" He muses and I walk ahead of him. "Nope." "Basically, it means the transporter of goods by cart or wagon, it's from an old french word I believe. You wanna know yours?" "You looked up mine?" I question, hiding the small smile on my face, because I'm mad at him or whatever. For... I don't know why but I'm mad at him because I am. Carter catches up to me, grinning to himself. "Emilia means rivals, it's derived from the root of some latin word. Isn't that strange?" That's just a coincidence, he's probably lying anyway. "Yeah, real peculiar." I reply. ..... #2 - onebedtrope 16/06/22 #1 - mila 16/06/22
