THE ONE-NIGHT STAND | 18+ by mentally_whore

"I hate you. I fucking hate you," I spat, my words laced with a fury that burned through the thick tension between us. But there was something else there too, something I couldn't mask-desire, sharp and undeniable. Alex's lips curled into that devilish smirk of his, the one that made my blood boil and my pulse race. He leaned in, his voice a low, dangerous whisper. "Good. Then I'll fuck you like I hate you, too." Adriana Martinez, ruthless assassin of the Mexican Mafia, finds herself bound by an unholy alliance to none other than Alex DeLuca, the infamous Don of the Italian-American Mafia. What was meant to be a simple pact of power has spiraled into something far darker... and far more seductive. There's something about Alex that tugs at the edges of her memory, something that reminds her of a single night shrouded in shadows and drenched in forbidden desire. Could he be the stranger who left her breathless, the one who slipped away before dawn? As they're forced together, the line between hate and lust, duty and desire, blurs with every heated glance and stolen touch. Neither knows who will surrender first-or if one of them is already ensnared. 18+|READ WITH RISK PLZ😋

Now she's hunting the truth, one bloodstained secret at a time - and if the brothers she never knew can't handle the storm she's bringing to their door, they'll learn the hard way: She's not their little sister. She's their reckoning.

This Fire! by savantingly

"These moans of yours, Zemira, they tend to tamper with my head. They're making my mind a haywire, 𝓜𝓸𝔂 𝓿𝓪𝓶𝓹𝓲𝓻." He whispered into my ear, sending shivers down my spine. His dominance was giving me power to show my dominance. If he wants to tease the devil, then he shall receive a tease in return too. Out of nowhere, I loosen myself from his grip and slam him to the wall, again. I start planting slow kisses on his neck and he tilts his head a little giving me more access. I lean towards his ear and place a kiss on it before whispering. "Today, we have ignited a fire, which will only wither by our deaths, Canzone. It will give us scars and burn us on the way but it will also become a toy which will give us happiness when we'll play with it, 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓹𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓸. And remember, Orpheus, I've always liked to play with fire." I whispered before slamming my lips onto his. ________________________________________ 𝙕𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙧𝙖 𝙑𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙘𝙝 a.k.a the predator.
