LOGINI detested clubs and parties but I was dragged here by my best friends for my 19th birthday. As I started dancing I could feel a pair of eyes on me. I began to scan the room subtly until my gaze was connected with a pair of bright green beautiful eyes. This wasn't a man, this was a God. His hair was dark and not too short but just that length where you can push it back and it looks effortless. His body looked sculpted and chiseled as if every little detail about him was carefully planned out. He wouldn't stop looking at me. I tried to avert my gaze until a couple of seconds later I felt two large strong arms wrap around my body. Amara, a young woman of striking beauty and innocence, unwittingly falls in love with the charming and enigmatic Killian, a mysterious figure with ties to the criminal underworld.

"Amara come on, you're taking ages" I heard Riley calling for me downstairs.Riley was my bestfriend, she was the polar opposite of me. She was fun, outgoing, adventurous and social, very social."That's because I'm not going" I huffed while walking down the stairs in my pyjamas ready to watch the breakfast club like I do every year on my birthday.I looked over at Riley who stood there enraged, arms crossed staring at me intently."Amara it's your 19th birthday, you're coming out with me and we're going to get absolutely wasted because that's what you do on birthdays. Now come on" she continued to whine at me. She tried dragging me up by my arm but I resisted as much as I could.I groaned, "but whyyyyyy?""Get up and get your ass up those stairs and put on a sexy dress and heels, we're going. Otherwise, no more discount at my parents shop.""Riley, that's mean, you know how much I love their shop" I complained.Riley's parents owned a few stores that sold the most amazing clothes, the problem was I couldn't afford it, not without the discount that Riley let me use.I smacked my hands on the sofa that I sat on and huffed. "Fine!"Riley just stayed silent and watched me drag myself up the stairs to my room to get ready.I looked in my wardrobe for something good to wear.But as I looked on my bed, I saw that Riley had already laid one out for me.It was a silver body con dress with a loose neckline and paired with some amazing silver heels.It was definitely Riley's style.I curled my hair the smallest amount trying to keep it as natural as possible as it was already wavey.I put on the dress and heals and did very light makeup as I never really wore any anyways.As I began to walk down the stairs, Riley started clapping and whistling at me."You are getting your virgin self laid tonight!" She shouted at me.My eyes widened."No no Riley that's not happening. I don't want that.You know that. Now shut up." I spluttered out defensively."Alright Jesus Christ I get it, you're gonna be a virgin forever" she joked.It's not that at all I just always wanted to make it special with a loving husband who I was married to. I was always a big thing for me. I've never even done anything remotely sexual. I wanted to save it all for the love of my life.That's definitely not what Riley did. She lost her virginity when she turned 16 and she definitely did not spare the detail telling me even though I didn't want to hear it.-As soon as we got to the club the loud music filled my ears suddenly.Riley dragged me straight to the bar making us both sit on the high stools."Two shots of tequila please" she asked the bartender.He smiled at her and winked, "anything for you two beautiful ladies"Riley took that compliment to start a flirty conversation with him as she is one to do.We both took our shots and I coughed straight after. It felt like liquid fire going down my throat. It burned so bad."Come on it's not that bad" Riley said rubbing my back."Says the woman who goes out drinking most weekends" I snap back.She just laughed at me, "That's it, I'm taking your sexy ass for a dance, come on" she said dragging me out of the seat.The music was actually pretty good but was just too loud. I started dancing to it and before I knew it I saw Riley dancing with some random guy, leaving me on my own. I tried to zone out as much as I could enjoying the music, but I could feel as if someone was looking at me. I tried to subtly scan the room as I danced and landed on a pair of bright, green, beautiful eyes.This was not a man. It was a God.He had the most incredibly perfect stature I had ever seen. His dark hair lay there effortlessly slightly pushed back. He had a light amount of stubled facial hair and his black suit accentuated his god like features. His incredible eyes stayed on me as I danced. I tried the best I could to avert his gaze and make my way through this night.All of a sudden I felt two strong hands grab my waist and pull me close to a rock hard body, causing me to gasp."Oh I'm sorry did I frighten you babygirl?" A deep manly voice says from behind me.His voice was so soothing and yet so dominant and assertive as if he knew exactly what he wants and he knew he was going to get it. This mans tall stature intimidated me and made mequiver. He quickly turned me around making me stumble slightly in my heels, but his arms caught me and held me up against him."Umm w-who are y-you?" I stuttered, barely being able to get my words out.His hands glide down from my waist to my butt, grabbing it lightly."Well now that doesn't matter right now does it baby girl, all that matters, is how fucking sexy you look" he answers back.His voice was so incredible it made my knees weak and made me want to collapse in his strong arms.While I tried to find the response to that I felt his hands explore my body up and down in the middle of the dance floor."I d-d-dont k-know you" I continued to stutter. What the heck is wrong with me?!All of a sudden he pulled me over to a private room that was separated from the club with a large, red, heavy curtain. He grabbed onto me and placed me onto a table that was in the middle of the room. My heart began to race and my breathing began to get quicker. He was so close to me."God you look unreal babygirl absolutely unreal" he growled leaning into my neck and placing soft kisses all over it.My whole body began to tingle and i was feeling something I never felt before. What he was doing felt so good. I tried to control my breathing but he was making my whole body go out of control.He then made his way up from my neck up to my lips and devoured them with his own. He kissed me with pure passion and lust pulling me more and more into it as we start making out.All of a sudden I hear a phone ringing which brings me back to reality. He stops kissing me and pulls a phone out of his pocket answering it and speaking italian."Sorry babygirl but this is going to have to be continued another time" he says to me before planting one last kiss on my lips.Oh my god his kisses felt like little drops of heaven on my lips and they made my whole body go weak.He then turns around ready to leave."W-wait I-I don't even know your name o-or who you a-are." I exclaim to him.He winked at me before he left, "another time princess"What just happened? Seriously what the heck just happened?Amara’s PoVThe second explosion was even louder.The reinforced walls trembled beneath the force.A shower of dust drifted from the ceiling, coating the steel floor in a thin gray layer.My heart hammered so violently it hurt.Another impact slammed against the hidden door.Boom.The entire room shook.Luca didn’t flinch.He stood between me and the entrance, pistol raised, his eyes fixed on the reinforced door as though willing it not to move.His earpiece crackled.“Report.”Silence.“Luca?”Only static answered.He removed the earpiece, cursed quietly, and shoved it into his pocket.“They’ve jammed communications.”I swallowed.“So we’re completely alone?”“For now.”The words weren’t comforting.Another deafening bang echoed through the room.This one was closer.Metal groaned somewhere beyond the walls.“They’re clearing the penthouse,” Luca muttered.“They won’t find us… right?”He didn’t answer immediately.Instead, he crossed to one of the monitors that still flickered with i
The penthouse fell silent.The warmth of breakfast disappeared beneath the weight of the bloodstained playing card lying on the marble countertop.I stared at the words written across the back.Your queen is next.A chill crawled up my spine.Killian folded the card carefully and slipped it into his pocket, but the damage had already been done.Someone knew about me…Someone wanted me.His phone rang again.“Romano.”His voice was cold enough to freeze the room.“I said lock the entire perimeter down. Nobody enters. Nobody leaves until I’ve seen every second of the security footage.”His jaw tightened.“What about the men?”“I don’t care how badly they’re injured. I want statements from every single one of them.”He ended the call and turned toward me.“I’m leaving for a few hours.”“I can come with you.”“No.”“You can’t keep me locked in here.”“I can.”His answer came so quickly that it irritated me.“I’m not helpless.”“I know.”“Then why are you treating me like I am?”He walked c
For a brief moment, I forgot where I was.Then I felt the steady rise and fall of a chest beneath my cheek.Killian.His arm was still wrapped securely around my waist, as though even in sleep he refused to let me go.I tilted my head, studying him.Without the cold expression he wore before his men, he looked… younger. Peaceful. Human.It was difficult to imagine that this was the same man whose name could silence an entire room.The same man who controlled an empire built on fear.His eyes fluttered open.“You’re staring.”A smile tugged at my lips.“You were asleep.”“And you were watching me.”“I was making sure you weren’t secretly a vampire.”A deep laugh escaped him.“I’ll remember that.”He brushed a strand of hair behind my ear before pressing a soft kiss to my forehead.“Good morning, baby.”“Morning.”For several quiet moments, neither of us spoke.The silence wasn’t awkward.It felt… comfortable.Something neither of us had experienced in a very long time.Eventually, Kill
I smiled at him without even realizing I had let it slip out, the words catching me slightly off guard. I had never really trusted anyone before, and admitting it, even to myself, was not easy.“I guess I do,” I whispered softly, my eyes locking onto his.A slow, knowing smile spread across Killian’s lips, and it made me blush slightly. There was something about the way he looked at me that made me feel exposed, seen, yet completely safe. His gaze lingered, filled with a mix of desire and pride, and I couldn’t look away.Without missing a beat, he lifted the spoon back to his mouth after it had lingered in mine, tasting the sweetness that had mixed with my lips. Then he scooped up another portion of ice cream and brought it to me, his fingers brushing mine as our hands met. The contact sent a shiver straight through me, and I realized how intimate these small moments felt with him.Killian leaned closer, his chest pressing lightly against my back, and his hand slid around my waist, pu
Amara. Of course it was her. I hadn’t seen her in so long, but I could never forget those perfect features. All eyes were on her. Men wanted to take her home, but like that would ever happen. She was untouchable. I made my way over, a mix of shock and disbelief coursing through me. Why was she h
Taking his hand in mine, he shook it firmly, one hand in mine and the other resting on top, holding the shake with purpose. “You got a last name with that?” he asked, letting go and stepping back slightly. “King.” His face shifted through a series of emotions—bewilderment, confusion, then sudden
A small smirk curved her lips as I closed the distance, my heart doing a stupid, excited staccato in my chest. My own mouth went dry and then parted, words trapped like birds that could not find the sky.“All three? You took on all three?” I managed to gabble, pointing toward the three hulking men
I did not let her speak before I continued. My hands wrapped around hers, pulling them gently into mine, and I searched her eyes with mine. Every flicker of emotion she tried to hide, every tiny hesitation, I caught it.“But this time I need complete honesty from you, Amara,” I said, my voice low b
