My body shivered as he dragged his hands from my shoulders down to my hands grabbing onto them harshly before, slamming my back onto his. I closed my eyes feeling his hard erection pressing onto my lower back. Sucking in a breath I spoke pleadingly. Hoping he'll show mercy, although deep down I knew that wouldn't happen. "X-Xavier. Please don't. I-I'm not ready." A tear slid down my burning face before travelling down my neck. "Valentina. Baby." he spoke harshly, as his grip tightened on top my hands causing me to whimper. "You'll be ready. You don't want to deprive me of my rights now do you? You should now how upset I'll be. Just submit to me." I gasped as he suddenly pushed me to the bed. My eyes went wide as he removed his tie stepping closer. "N-No. P-Please." I tried crawling backwards, but he caught my ankle dragging me back towards him. "I suppose, were doing this the hard way." I felt him tower over me, my back facing towards him, as he lowered his head, his voice menacingly dark laced in both lust and anger as he spoke. "I won't promise I'll be gentle, because I know I won't be." That was the night my innocence, was taken away from me and I let him. I gave in, I succumbed to him and his ways. How could someone be so loving yet cruel at the same time. He promised to love and care for me, but in return all I got was his possessive, overwhelming behaviour. Read to see if Valentina falls in love with Xavier despite his cruel ways and changes him to become a better man, or if she finds a way to escape him for good.
