Erotica

Maria Vienna Schneider is a ghost in the underworld-a second-ranked mafia member who moves unseen, striking with deadly precision. Sa araw, siya ay nagtatago sa maskara ng isang hindi kapansin-pansing nerd, isang pantakip na nagtatago ng kanyang tunay na pagkakakilanlan. Ngunit ang kanyang pinakabagong misyon ay naiiba sa lahat ng kanyang hinarap. Ngayong pagkakataon, hindi siya ipinadala para pumatay. Ipinadala siya upang may protektahan. Her mission? Draven Monticello. Heir of Monticellos, a man marked for death by enemies lurking in the shadows... and the man she's secretly loved for years. Upang maprotektahan si Draven, kailangang gawin ni Mavis ang hindi niya kailan man maisip na magagawa niya—to marry Draven. Bound by duty and deception, she enters a forced marriage with a man who despises her, unaware of the woman behind the mask. Ang bawat sandali kasama si Draven ay parehong isang pahirap at isang kasiyahan, isang masalimuot na sayaw sa pagitan ng tungkulin at pagnanasa. Ngunit habang lumalabo ang mga linya ng kanyang misyon at ng kanyang puso, nalagay siya sa sitwasyon kung saan kailangan niyang mamili. Manatili sa tabi ng lalaking hindi siya kayang mahalin, at isugal ang sarili niyang kapakanan upang si Draven ay protektahan? O ang magparaya at lumayo, bago ang mga lihim na kanyang tinatago ay sirain silang dalawa? In a world where love is dangerous and betrayal is inevitable, Mavis must decide. . . will she fight for the man she can never have, or sacrifice her heart to keep him safe?

"Hindi ko sasabihin sa iba," I blurted the words out, umaasa na mapapalagay ang loob niya at pakakawalan niya na ako. Kahit na sobrang guwapo at hot niya, he also looked dangerous. Trying to stop myself from trembling, I bit my lips. Nahuli niya ang ginawa ko at yumuko siya. Nabalot ako ng amoy ng dope na sinisigarilyo niya kanina. Tilting his head, he clicked his tongue and smiled. "Wrong move." With that, he slammed his lips against mine, knocking all the air from my lungs. Hinalikan niya ako nang walang patawad. His mouth slipped at the seam of my mouth, at nablanko ang utak ko nang maramdaman ko ang paghaplos ng dila niya sa akin. Pulling away, tiningnan niya ako nang may nakalolokong ngiti sa kanyang mukha at sinabing, "ngayon, sa 'yo na ako."
