Aria has always been the invisible girl—unwanted, unloved, and constantly overshadowed by her perfect sister. But when she meets them, everything changes.

Matteo, Enzo, and Dante Moretti are rich, powerful, and dangerously irresistible. They watch her like they own her. They touch her like they can’t help themselves. And when they decide they want her, they don’t take no for an answer.

But loving them comes with a price. Secrets from her past threaten to destroy her, and enemies of the Moretti’s are ready to use her as a weapon. Aria is trapped between danger and desire, but there’s one thing she knows for sure—she was never meant to survive them.

She was meant to be theirs.

Fuck off? I lent over to her side of the car, grabbed her hips and ripped her over to straddle my lap. This girl was something else, I knew it from the start. Now I needed her to know just who I am and what I am capable of. I held one hand firmly on her waist and the other to her throat. It wasn’t tight enough to hurt her, but it would keep her in place for now.
“Angel, you have a filthy fucking mouth”, I whispered low into her ear.
“Luciano…” Finally, an expression on her face. A real one she wasn’t hiding from me. It wasn’t fear though. It was lust. My girl likes this. I pulled her down further so she could feel just how much I was liking it too and the most enchanting gasp came from her mouth while her eyes rolled back for a moment.

He lowered his lips to her ear. “It’ll come at a cost,” he whispered before tugging her earlobe with his teeth.
Her knees wobbled and if it were not for his grip on her hip she would have fallen. He shoved his knee between her thighs as a secondary support in case he decided he needed his hands elsewhere.
“What do you want?” she asked.
His lips grazed her neck and she whimpered as the pleasure his lips brought sank between her legs.
“Your name,” he breathed. “Your real name.”
“Why is it important?” she asked, revealing for the first time that his hunch was correct.
He chuckled against her collarbone. “So I know what name to call out when I come inside you again.”


Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night.

She entered his world for an assignment. She became his obsession.

Meera was an ordinary university student, quietly navigating her middle-class life. Her days were filled with lectures, group projects, and fleeting moments of joy spent with friends. But everything changed the day she stepped into the world of A.M Empire for a class assignment.
The assignment was simple: interview a CEO and analyze their leadership style. Aware of the mafia-run A.M Empire's infamous reputation, Meera was apprehensive. Her nervousness was evident when she arrived at the mansion. To her surprise, Siddhartha, the kinder and more approachable brother of the empire’s shadowy leader, Arjun, agreed to help her. His warmth calmed her nerves, allowing her to focus on the task.
But Meera didn’t realize that her presence in that mansion had ignited something in Arjun. Observing her from the shadows, Arjun—a man feared across the underworld—was struck by an unfamiliar vulnerability. Her innocence, quiet strength, and the sheer audacity of entering his domain fascinated him.
From that moment, Arjun’s obsession began. He pursued Meera with an intensity that frightened her. Her resistance was infuriating and alluring for a man accustomed to getting everything he wanted. Meera saw in him not only danger but also an emotional turmoil that threatened to consume them both.

When past lovers and hidden enemies close in, Meera must decide if she can trust the man who terrifies her—yet protects her with a ferocity unlike anything she’s ever known.
In a world of shadows and secrets, can love truly conquer fear?

"You're going to pay for making me so damn hard last night, and you're going to pay for making me have a wet dream about you last night... but not today," he said, leaving me so confused.

"Get ready, Bluey, because you're going to be seeing this face often, and I promise you our next encounter will be you lying on my bed with your legs wide apart as I ram my dick into your pussy."


The fun kicks off when Sasha drags Bluey to a club and dares her to kiss a random stranger. So, she goes for it. But what she doesn't expect is that the handsome guy she accidentally kissed turned out to be an infamous assassin.
Knight Dwayne, who is known across the country by the nickname The Terminator or Grim Reaper. After that kiss, he becomes totally obsessed with her, vowing to make her his at any cost.

As we walk in, I go up behind her as Zander and Pablo stand in front of her, I wrap my hands around her waist and slowly untie her robe, taking it off of her, and I then drop it to the floor. From the back, the short nightgown that is draped over her curves instantly got me hard, you can see every curve being hugged by the white silky fabric. It has thin straps and comes to stop at the lower back; I took both of my hands and slowly slid the nightgown off her shoulders and down the length of her body, letting it fall to the floor around her feet.

"feels good, aby girl?" I asked. She only replied with "UMMM, huh." I then started to lick her pussy and suck on her clit, after having my fill and lick her dry we unattached ourselves from her. Picking her up in a princess carry, I went to bed, and my two men pulled down the covers, and I placed her on the bed.

“Words, little one.” Another voice whispered.
