The library lights buzzed overhead. The harsh and yellow lights made my eyes sting. I rubbed them hard, then rubbed again, trying to focus on my half-finished project slides glowing on my laptop screen.

Tomorrow was the deadline. The last submission before finals and I was nowhere near done. My friends had left two hours ago, after begging me to come with them.

“Grace, come on, it’s already dark,” Stella had whined, tugging my sleeve.

“I’ll be fine,” I’d told her. “It’s just a twenty-mi

  • Bound To The Mafia King    Chapter 12 : He Owns Me

    GraceOne second I was clinging to Ryan, shaking so hard my teeth chattered, tears soaking his shirt. The next second the world flipped. A hard shoulder slammed into my stomach, air punched out of me, and the pavement disappeared beneath my feet.I yelped, high and panicked as my hands flew to push against the wide back I was suddenly draped over. Adrian Valente had thrown me over his shoulder like I was a sack of feathers. My hair spilled down his spine, jacket riding up and the cold night air bit the bare skin of my lower back.“Put me down!” I screamed, kicking wildly and pounded my fists on his lower back. It felt like hitting a stone. Crack. His palm cracked across my ass- sharp, loud, the sting exploding through the thin fabric of my skirt.I gasped and my whole body jerked. Heat flooded my face, my chest… and- God help me- between my thighs in a traitorous rush that made me freeze. He did not- My eyes widened in horror. He just spanked me, right there in front of so many peop

    GraceI whimpered and just couldn’t stop it.His body had me completely pinned against the cold brick wall, chest to chest. His thigh was wedged between mine so I couldn’t even squirm properly. Every inch of him radiated heat and danger, and I was trembling so hard my teeth chattered. My eyes were wide and fear clawed up my throat, thick and suffocating. Scared didn’t even begin to cover it. Terrified. Petrified. Like prey staring down the barrel of a loaded gun that just happened to have a beautiful face.Adrian watched me with that devilish smirk curling his lips, grey eyes glittering like he was enjoying every second of my panic. “Cat got your tongue, little bunny?” he mocked, voice low and velvet smooth, dripping with amusement.I gulped so hard that it hurt. Why was this man after me? I could not let him intimidate me. “Step- step back,” I managed, voice shaking. “Let me go.” I watched as he tilted his head and his smirk widened. “Or what?”I tried to sound brave but miserably

Go have fun. I don’t want to ruin your night.”They’d argued, but eventually gave up and left with promises to text me when they got home.Now the library was almost empty. Just me, the security guard doing his last round, and the faint smell of old books and instant coffee.My phone died thirty minutes ago and there was no charger in my bag. No warning. Just black screen. What am I supposed to do now? All of a sudden, the guard appeared at my table with keys jingling in his hand. “M

    GraceUniversity felt like torture today.My head was splitting. It was the sharp, pulsing pain right behind my eyes that hadn’t stopped since I woke up. Every time I moved, it throbbed harder, like someone was tapping nails into my skull. I hadn’t slept. I could not. Not really. All night my mind kept replaying flashes of last night. The Elite Club, those red lights, smoke, strong hands pinning me to a wall, a low voice whispering my name like it already owned me. That familiar stranger- had crawled inside my brain and refused to leave. I tossed and turned until dawn. My cheeks burned, heart raced, body restless in ways I didn’t want to admit.How could I feel this for a stranger? A … stalker!? Now I was slumped over my desk in the back row of my third class. My hoodie was pulled up, trying- well more like failing to look like I was taking notes. My pen hadn’t moved in twenty minutes.Stella leaned over from the seat beside me and voiced a dramatic whisper. “You look like death war

    AdrianI leaned against the balcony railing staring at the city lights sprawled below like a carpet of fireflies. The cigarette had burned out long ago, but I didn’t light another. My mind was too full. Too tangled with the thoughts of … her. Grace.That little bunny with her wide eyes and drunken giggles. She’d kissed me like she meant it. She clung to me like I was her goddamn hero and then forgot everything by morning. The thought made my lips curl into a smirk without me even realizing it. My little bunny. So innocent. So fearless in her haze. She had no idea she’d awakened something in me. Something dark. Something that wanted to chase, to claim, to break her just enough to make her mine forever.She dared forget me. I’d make sure she never did again. No woman had ever made me this impatience, this reckless and had never made me feel a certain way but that goddamn little bunny stirred everything fucking upside down inside of me. I was lost in thoughts of my bunny when the doo

    GraceMy heart slammed against my ribs so hard I thought it might crack them. My eyes widened at the sight of him. He was coming down the stairs.Each step was deliberate and unhurried, like he had all the time in the world because he already knew I wasn’t going anywhere. Each step he took seemed to race my heart even more than before.Those grey eyes never left mine, not for a single second. Darkened. Burning. Possessive in a way that made my stomach flip and my skin crawl at the same time.Fear. That was what I felt. A real, cold fear snaked through me. I knew danger when I saw it. And danger was walking straight toward me.I had to get out. Now.I stepped back, my heel catching on the edge of the dance floor. Frederick’s hand was still on my waist, but I barely felt it. My pulse roared in my ears. And I could hear my inner thoughts shouting at me to escape. I turned sharply, ready to bolt. “Grace?” Frederick’s voice cut through the music, confused. His fingers tightened on mine an
