The Billionaire Mafia's Slave  - undefined novels & stories
SarahBlythe
— BLURB — I could still feel his eyes roaming over my face, lingering a little too long. His thumb brushed lightly against my chin. “I don’t have a big mouth,” I managed to say, immediately regretting it. His jaw tightened, and his eyes grew darker. If I didn’t know what kind of maniac he was, I might have thought he was interested in me. But I knew better than to make that mistake. “Oh, but you do, my love,” Nikolai murmured, a wicked smile spreading across his face. “And I can’t help remembering what I saw you witness the other day.” I gasped, shocked by his words. Of course I remembered that day! “You have no shame, do you?!” I demanded, glaring at him. His laughter filled the room. I swear, that was the first time I’d ever seen him laugh like that. “You’re right, my Kukolka. I have no shame,” he said, his smile turning into something far more dangerous. “That’s the only way to rule this world.” And with that, he left me standing there, speechless.

These elements are included to reflect certain real-world attitudes and experiences, but they do not reflect the views of the author. Reader discretion is advised. If you find such content distressing, please take care as you proceed. — Gunner took the job thinking it would be easy: keep an eye on the Floros’ only son while his parents were out of the country for a business trip. Follow and carry out the rules the Floros' had given him—watch the kid, keep him out of trouble, and collect a generous paycheck. But Layland Floros is anything but a kid. Beautiful, bold, and entirely too provocative for his own good, Layland isn’t interested in being watched. With a bratty attitude that dares Gunner to break every boundary he’s set for himself when he's on the job, Layland turns a simple assignment into something far more dangerous. Gunner's never been with a man. Never even thought about it—until Layland. Now, every moment in that house is thick with tension, with heat that hums just beneath the surface. The more Gunner tries to keep things professional, the harder it becomes to ignore what he was really feeling towards the young man. Soon, duty gives way to desire, and Gunner finds himself crossing lines he swore he wouldn’t. But when the chemistry between them explodes into something real and raw, he’ll have to face the truth: babysitting Layland and carrying out the young man's parents' rules was never the hard part. Staying away from him is. And if Layland's parents find out what really happened behind the closed doors of their home, Gunner could lose more than just the job.

Last night, at some roadside motel, she walked into my room. Ran her fingers over my tattoos, looked up at me with this smirk, and told me she wasn't wearing underwear. What the hell does she want? To destroy me? To see how far she can push before I snap? She's a virgin. Untouched. Off-limits. The one thing a man like me can never have. But when she looks at me like that—wearing that short dress, lips parted just enough—I forget who I am. I forget I'm the monster.
