Yours To Keep | 18+

There are moments in life that you work so hard for, things your younger self couldn't even imagine you doing... and when those moments arrive, what do you do with them? After joining the Victim Services Branch of the FBI in Quantico, it's been a dream to interact with the BAU and assist a case of theirs. Your lifestyle of late nights and overworking yourself keep you single despite this loneliness you refuse to acknowledge. But when you're constantly reminded of how quickly life can shatter around your feet, leaving you bare and bleeding as you try to put the pieces back together as neatly as you can... only for life to never be the same again, you start to feel it a little more. When the call finally comes, your work pulls you into a case the BAU is tackling, and while it caught you a little off guard, you walk away from the case with something more. Spencer has never shown vulnerability until you came around, and then things changed. From innocent comments to passionate nights, your world shifts as your two souls collide into one. *Disclaimer/Trigger Warning: this story is a work of fiction building off of information gathered from the series Criminal Minds and my own experiences within social service work. This story will contain mature topics such as addiction, mental health, suicide (past tense), trauma, detailed intimacy (idk if I'm qualified to deem this smut, so you be the judge), intercourse, and other topics readers may feel uncomfortable with.

She agreed to marry him to save her brother. She never imagined she'd be stepping into a world of luxury, danger, and obsession. He's a man feared by everyone-a mafia don whose calm control hides a ruthless obsession. He keeps her close, watches her every move, and tests her in ways she can't resist. Every glance, every touch, every whispered word blurs the line between fear and desire. Trapped between her own defiance and the dangerous pull of a man who wants her completely, she discovers that some chains aren't meant to be broken... and some love isn't meant to be safe. In a world where power is everything and betrayal lurks in every shadow, how far will she go for love-or survival? Warning: This story is dark, twisted, and intensely romantic. Expect obsession, possessive love, and morally gray desires

He was tainted by darkness, but he saw salvation through her eyes. He wasn't a believer, but she taught him how. He didn't believe there was hope for him but when he looked into her eyes, it felt like God whispering: "Do you still refuse to believe?" He was everything bad but for her, he would turn good. In the mafia, love was nothing but a liability. But her scent alone could drive him insane, make her moan his name like a prayer. "Don't come too close. I have demons within." "You have mistakes and scars, but not demons,never that." "I'm not romantic. I don't love." "You'd burn the world for me. You'd kill a man if I got a scar. You'd do so much more. If that's not love, then what is it?" "It's possession. It's everything dark in its most primitive form." "Then go ahead,possess me. Try to taint me if you can." She's not a damsel in distress, but with him, she feels like one. She never sheds a tear, but with him, she'd cry a river. Their love wasn't loud, but it was consuming. It felt like gunmetal and silk. He touched her like she was holy, and ruined her however he pleased. She'd rather bruise his lips than his ego, and that's why he bled for her with a wide grin. Together, they were a force of power and chaos in tailored suits. Like someone once said: "The devil doesn't have horns. He wears a suit, perfect hair, and a killer smile

In a world of criminals left, right and center, I must try and find my own way. A way where I won't succumb to the darkness lurking in the shadows, or die trying to free myself of my demons. One demon in particular, David Reed, the leader of the gang in my town. My name is Mikayla Reed, or just Kayla really. I'm a street kid through, and through. Being asociated with the devil is a burden, and I intent to keep my cards close. Never trust anyone but yourself, except the seven guys I find myself getting closer to. They each have skills i've never seen before, but quesition is: Will it be enough? One thing is clear though. I'm never taking orders from anyone ever again. Over. My. Dead. Body. (Please don't say that statement come true). Whatever is left of me when I'm done, only time will tell. READ THIS BEFORE READING THE NOVEL: This is a contemporary why choose romance, where the female main character doesn't have to choose between any of the male main characters. There will be a happy ending, but the road is long. This is slowburn, meaning that it takes a while for the romance to take place. TW: Foul language, mentions of dead or murder in detail and sad backgroundstories. I'm not these characters or share the same beliefs as them. There are questional topics or insults mentioned by sidecharacters. This is also a little sideproject i'm doing for fun. In no way am I an author, so please be nice. English isn't my first language, so I apologize for spelling-mistakes. Please message me if you find any mistakes! Leave a review so I can improve my writing in the future.

She hated them. They loved her with everything in them. The universe truly has a sick way of telling you it's there, doesn't it? From being kidnapped to being abused, that was all Arabella saw in life. It was all she ever knew. They tell you to keep fighting but sometimes you realize... you were just a child. Now she's built herself up using her pain as the next step to her strength. She's learnt how to strive forward even as her past haunts her mind crawling up her back every passing second. That is until the first 7 people who only ever brought her pain find their way back into her life. She has no way to let go of her past when they come right back to her. The world showed her no mercy in it's ways so why should she. ~~~ I let out a small sigh wanting more of this. I wanted to be held like this whenever I felt broken. Feel the way he puts me back together in his arms. It ate at my heart and I could have sworn I felt a feathery kiss on my head. It was as if he could hear my thoughts and was kissing them away for me. Slowly he lets one hand go, the other staying around me as he brings my chin up to him gently wiping my last tears as more fill my eyes. He sees this and his eyes look... crumbled. If you feel this way then why can't you choose me, Dominic. I shake my head from his hands wishing to step back but he pulls me back to him a pain filled groan leaving him. "Just one more minute. Please." His body shook and I brought him closer, feeling our pain become one. Our hurricanes of minds pull away even for the smallest time letting us stand together as one in each other's embrace. He was it for me. But I wasn't his.

*You are mine and the world will know it.* She was supposed to be just a stripper, right? But then why did his heart skip a beat when she sat on his lap and pulled him down, gripping his tie? He was a mafia king. Everyone was scared of him, feared him. But this woman was different. She walked to him and sat on his lap, fearless-or maybe just foolish. When he looked into her eyes, his heart skipped a beat again. Those ocean-blue eyes looked beautiful but too hard to read. Suddenly, he wanted to drown in them. In that moment, he knew she was his uncharted territory, and he was going to make every man regret trying to touch her ever again. But it wasn't always easy, and he knew it. She was fire, and he could get burned. But he was obsessed with her, and he would make her his.

The house was nothing but bones now. Charred wood. Crumbled stone. Ashes scattered like ghosts across the floor. Every breath I took carried the bitter taste of smoke, though the fire had died decades ago. It was the perfect place for a killing. Quiet. Empty. Forgotten. I stepped across the wreckage, eyes sharp, and focused steadily. Tonight was supposed to belong to me. My target. My mission. My silence. Then a voice rose from the shadows. Low. Calm. Unwanted. "What are you doing here?" I froze. My head snapped toward the sound. Out of the dark, Liam Kaiser emerged, his eyes catching the faint light from a broken window. I narrowed mine. "That's my question. What are you doing here?" The air between us tightened, the silence heavy. Finally, I said it. "I'm here to kill someone. Someone important." That was when I heard it-soft at first, then clearer-the crunch of footsteps pressing into the ash. Shapes moved. Five men stepped out of the gloom, surrounding us. Guns lifted. Smiles carved onto their faces like they already knew how this story ended. I glanced at Liam. He glanced back. We didn't need words. This just turned into something else. Then a new voice filled the ruins. Smooth. Measured. Dangerous. "Well, well. What a surprise... to see you here, mafia lord." My stomach dropped. I turned toward the figure stepping into the faint light. The world narrowed. My throat tightened. "Dad?" I whispered. The word echoed into the hollow house, vanishing into smoke and ash.

HANNAH I've spent my entire twenty-one years on this earth in the background. Walked over by friends. Family. Strangers. And I didn't see a problem with it; I'd rather nobody pay attention to me. It was safer that way. Easier. Until I got the wrong kind of attention. Lev Somov caught me running from an impromptu crime I was committing against my ex-boyfriend, and in that moment, he somehow decided I was worth giving his attention to. All the bad kinds of attention. Next thing I know, he's watching over me, hijacking my job and becoming my client. And then he takes things above a level I never thought possible. He is a monster, incapable of feeling any type of remorse or guilt for anyone and anything, including me. All I can hope for is that I make it out of this obsession alive. LEV This life wasn't meant for me, but now that he's gone, it's mine for the taking. And no one is going to stop me. I've shown my loyalty through blood, and I make no plans to change my future. Especially not for the little kukolka I found stumbling into the wrong alleyway. I'll take my time before I break her. And then, the Dynasty will be mine.

My body was pressed against his hard slack and colliding underneath the agonizing tension, he lowered his mouth to mine and his tongue darted to run across my bottom lip. My core throbbed under his touch and my thighs clenched hard when he thrusted his hard on against my body. He then leaned to kiss me, long and angered, forcing for the tears beneath my closed lids to burn like acid. His teeth nicked my bottom lip and a cry of pain pushed through my throat. My nails clawed his forearms in retaliation but that never stopped his assault on my lips. He showed me how fucking vulnerable my body was beneath him and his words from the other night pricked my conscience. I assembled my guts and pushed his body back. I tried to step past him but he held my upper arm and pulled me back against the ropes. "Let go of me, Hades." My voice wavered. He stared down at me for a brief moment before releasing his hold and backed away. "Gladly." Hades D'amiano- vain, narcissistic and a lethal weapon. Mia Faye- seductive, assertive and a fatale lie. Secrets, love and betrayal to unfold
