Chapter: Being GoodAaron.The kiss starts slow; at first, my lips on hers gently pry them apart, making sure she knows how easily her words have struck a match in my soul.But then she lets out a soft sound against my mouth, and every good intention I had about keeping this soft and sweet goes straight out the window.My hand tightens at her waist, pulling her closer until there's barely an inch left between our bodies, and I can feel every point where her soft curves glide against my chest.Fuck me.I've missed this. Her. Us.My fingers sink into her hair, massaging her skull as I work my lips over hers, kissing her deeper, harder.Another soft moan escapes her, and my heart lurches when she rises on her toes, wraps her arms around my neck, and pulls me closer, kissing me back with just as much passion.I rip my lips away just as her tongue sweeps into my mouth and drop my head against the crook of her shoulder."Aaron," she says, sounding disappointed, "What's wrong?"I shake my head, "Nothing." "The

Chapter: ConfessionsElleTwo things cross my mind as I watch Ivy wipe the corner of her mouth with one perfectly manicured finger.The first is more tame, and doesn't involve the ninety-five ways I imagine murdering her in the second. I simply wonder why she chose that shade of lipstick to wear, and all the ways I can peel it off her lips with the box cutter sitting on Aaron's table."Well, if this isn't a lovely surprise," Ivy smirks.Aaron sprints to his feet, lips parted as if to offer up an explanation, maybe one along the lines of 'it's not what it looks like' or 'I can explain' but I'm too pissed right now to even listen to him so before he can get within an inch of me, I raise a hand, stopping him in his tracks Ivy readjusts her stance, folding her hands across her chest as her lips curl into a satisfied smirk."You both have five seconds to tell me exactly what's going on," I demand."Isn't it obvious? Aaron and I were busy. That is, before you interrupted us.""That is not true." Aaron says, de

Chapter: Violations And Surprise VisitsAaronHere's a fun fact about me,Paperwork is my personal hell.Everyone thinks that just because I'm a mob boss, I don't have to do it, but that is a completely false narrative pushed on by shitty TV shows and The Godfather.The mob is an organised crime syndicate.Emphasis on organised.And like many organised crime syndicates, you don’t get to the top by just doing the exciting stuff all the time. You get there by doing the boring stuff too. Tracking shipments, making sure money moves cleaner than the hands that earned it and many more duties that I'd much rather drink arsenic than do.Every deal, every property, every “investment” needs my signature to get approved. Each transfer sent to our offshore accounts or Shell companies has to first pass through my table before seeing the light of day.I flip a page of one of the files on my table, my jaw tightening as the smell of stale ink filters up my nose. My desk is crowded with mountains of files. Tax documents. Insurance policies

Chapter: Periods and Sailor RabbitsElleThere's a saying that goes life doesn't always give you what you want but what you need.Well, I say fuck that.After my chat with Ava, I decided to tell Aaron how I felt.I had this brilliant idea to make dinner and tell him how I felt while we were eating. It was supposed to be perfect. Romantic even.But that never happened because when I woke up this morning, not only was I unable to get out of bed, but there was a massive bloodstain the size of Texas on the bed.It didn't take me long to figure out who had come to visit.Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that's right, Aunt Flo was here, and she was pissed.So fucking pissed, in fact, that she was willing to wreck me from the inside.Luckily, Maureen was able to help me change the sheets and provide me with a heating pad while Aaron was away.What would I ever do without her?"Are you sure you wouldn't like me to call Mr O' Sullivan for you?"Maureen asks as soon as she's about to leave, worry lining her expression.Aaron was at wor

Chapter: In Which She Asks For Relationship AdviceElleI find Ava in her art studio, fingers working a brush frantically over her canvas. She hardly notices my arrival, not until I clear my throat to announce it. She looks up, eyes widening when she sees me standing at the entrance."Elle?" I wave awkwardly, "Hi"She moves towards me, arms outstretched for a hug. "What a wonderful surprise." She stops mid-step, noticing her apron, unties the strings, tosses it aside, and finally embraces me."It's good to see you too Ava." She pulls away, eyes roaming, observing."You look different." She states fondly.I stiffen, "I do?"She nods, "Everything okay back home?" There's a slight tease to the question, one I'm not sure how to respond to. So I force on a tight smile and nod."You sure?""Mhmm.""So my brother isn't being an asshole?"I shake my head, "He's actually been really sweet lately", I blurt out, and I watch her stare at me like she's not sure if I mean it."Uh huh. So, what brings you here?""I actually wanted to ask you someth

Chapter: In Which He Is Emotionally Compromised.Aaron"What do you mean you've already picked a new treasurer?"Elder Peter blinks at me before darting his gaze across every member of the intimate council currently seated at this table as if searching for help.Today makes it thirteen days since the hearing. The intimate council met some time during my absence and decided to appoint a new treasurer. Without informing me."W—Well, y—you see—" He stammers out, stopping mid-sentence.I arch a brow and he swallows. Much like the actual Council, the intimate council is responsible for the affairs of the Mob, except their jurisdiction revolved around internal affairs, which meant they were in charge of regulating and replacing members. According to the law, all potential appointments are to go through the systematic vetting process before being officially appointed by my signature.My signature, which these men so callously replaced with their seal.“I’m not going to ask you again, Elder Peter and if I do, I'm going to shoot you in the

Married To The Russian Mafia Boss
“You taste so fucking good, baby”, Nikolai groans roughly, “So fucking good,” and then he drags his arousal against my centre, forcing me to feel every inch of him. Fuck, he was big. Like really big. I'm talking Antarctic blue whale big.
“Feel what you do to me, Solnyshko” he growls roughly against the sensitive planes of my neck. I feel his teeth graze my neck, and a ragged breath escapes me. “You drive me crazy, every time I see you, I can’t fucking think straight. Is this what you want? For me to lose my goddamn mind.”
***
Sold by her father to save himself, Ava is forced to walk down the aisle towards a future she never wanted. Just when she thinks her fate is sealed and the universe is against her, An unexpected stranger walks into the ceremony claiming her as his.
Nikolai Volkov is the enigmatic head of the Russian Mafia. A figure shrouded in mystery and power and a person not to be messed with. To him Ava is the key he needs to uncover the tragedy that claimed the life of his brother.
When Ava finds herself head first in the middle of two mafia families she must decide if she can trust the man who sets fire to her soul with just a single touch or if she's willing to continue being a pawn in a much bigger chessboard.

Chapter: Chapter 296This book is officially over. I can't believe I finished it. There were times I wanted to give up. Times I did at some point, but for some reason, I always found the energy to push through. I want to thank everyone who gave this book a chance. Without you, this book wouldn't be as successful as it

I'm at her side in an instant, my hands around her shoulder, steadying her, “What's wrong?” I ask, my gaze scanning her carefully. My eyes land on the thin ragged line on her knee. The edges are raw, a

Chapter: Chapter 294To be honest I wouldn't blame her if she did. She’d just seen me torture information out of a man. A man who deserves every bit of pain I dished out to him and more but still.
