My sister dissapeared three days before her wedding and I was forced to get married in her stead, to the head of the Italian Mafia, Stefano De Luca, a man known for his brutality and ruthlessness. My dear husband thinks he's going to get an obedient little kitty like my sister but he has no idea how wrong he is, I only have one plan and it's to drive him to the edge of frustration, I'll do everything to make sure he divorces me. ***** From the moment I saw her, I knew she was nothing but trouble, Anastasia Sidorov. My rebellious little bride. As much as I hated the idea of this marriage, Anastasia posed an interesting challenge. Even though she tries to, the chemistry between us is undeniable and I'm willing to see how far I can push my feisty little vixen, how long it'll take before I break each of her defenses. Because from the moment we said our vows, I have no intention of letting her escape my claws.
ANASTASIA
" No one must find out you're not a virgin! Stefano De Luca must believe that you're pure and untouched!!"
I eyed the little red pills in my hand and stared at the monster who gave them to me, most people call the parental male figure in their life, dad or father but I've always addressed mine as 'monster'
That was all Igor Sidorov would ever be to me.
" You think he'll be fooled by a fake hymen? everyone knows I'm a sex addict, it's all over the news"
The monster's eyes darkened at my words, his hands gripped my chin so hard that it hurt.
" You piece of shit! You're a stain to the Sidorov family name!!"
My back zyybvs use hit the wall as he shoved me backhward, my eyes stung with tears but I refused to let them fall.
" You will keep your end of the bargain and I'll keep my word, if you do anything stupid, you won't see that little bastard anymore!!"
I blinked back tears before nodding slowly.
" I won't do anything stupid, the wedding will go as planned as long as you don't hurt Alexei"
The monster grunted in response, although I didn't trust him, this was the only way I could ensure my little brother's safety.
When my perfect sweet-natured elder sister disappeared three days before her wedding, the monster had no choice but to make me get married in her stead.
The wedding would be an alliance of two mafia families, the Sidorovs and the De Lucas, if there was anything I hated the most, it was the mafia but for Alexei's sake, I would do anything, even if it meant getting married to the head of the Italian Mafia.
As I made my way to my room, I noticed newly appointed guards stationed in every corner of the house, the monster couldn't risk me escaping like Nina had done.
When I entered my room, my bodyguard, Maxim, was seated at the foot of my bed, if there's anyone I can trust in this building, it's him.
" Maxim, I have to go out tonight and you have to help me!"
" What? No!, your father will kill me if he finds out I allowed you to step out of this building"
Maxim shakes his head vehemently.
" Please..."
I glanced at my wristwatch, it was eight pm already.
" No one will notice I'm gone, I promise I'll be back before midnight, please... Maxim, you have to help me"
Maxim's stony expression didn't change.
" You're getting married tomorrow, I can't risk it, I'm sorry Stasia"
" But that's exactly why I need to go out tonight, I'm getting married tomorrow... after tomorrow, I'll be thrust into a world I know absolutely nothing about... I need one last night to myself... please Maxim, help me one last time "
Maxim must have seen the despair in my eyes, I knew the gravity of what I was asking of him but I couldn't help it, if I didn't go out tonight, I wouldn't be able to go through with the wedding tomorrow.
" Fine, but I'm coming with you, I can't let anything happen to you out there"
*****************
" You sure about this, Stasia?"
Maxim asked as we arrived at one of the biggest nightclubs in Moscow.
" Yeah I'm sure, thanks, you can go now"
Maxim shook his head.
" I'll wait right here, if anyone threatens you or makes you feel uncomfortable, notify me immediately"
A trace of warmth seeped into my chest, knowing that Maxim was keeping watch for me.
" Please Stasia, don't go overboard"
Maxim added as an afterthought, darting his eyes at the black skimpy gown that barely covered my thighs.
I couldn't bring myself to say yes because for once, I needed to go overboard.
Brushing my flaming red hair over my shoulder, I sashayed to the counter, ignoring the number of predatory eyes glancing my way, on a Friday night, the club was more crowded than usual.
Under the halo of pulsating lights, several bodied glided against each other, erotic moans and whispers filled the air, some were even making out openly.
Despite the crowd, I hadn't found any man that caught my eye.
" Give me your strongest mixture"
" You sure you can handle it Dorogaya?"
The bartender asked with a flash of surprise.
" I'm tougher than you think"
I said with a scoff.
Minutes later, he held out a tall glass to me and I downed its contents in one go, the strong liquor burned down my throat, filling me with a new kind of energy.
If I was going to lose my virginity tonight, I needed all the guts I could muster.
Contrary to what I made everyone believe, I wasn't a sex addict, I hadn't even had my first proper kiss, but I realized the more scandalous rumors I spread about myself, it lessened the probability of the monster tying me in an arranged marriage.
But now faced with my impending marriage, I wanted to have one night of freedom, I knew nothing about Stefano De Luca, from what I'd heard he was fifty-eight, ugly and his hairline was almost receding.
Two guys walked over to me as I left the counter, they had to be friends because they didn't have any similar features, one was tall and robust with a terrifying scar that ran along the side of his face, and the other had a patch over his left eye, they were both covered in tattoos and everything about them screamed danger.
As I tried to get away from them, one of them pulled me back, his breath stank of cigarette as he brought his lips close to my ears, and the other placed his hands on my shoulder
" Relax Kroshka, once you follow us and be a good girl for us, you won't lack anything"
The word 'Kroshka' meant 'babe' in Russian, but hearing it from his lips only filled me with revulsion, my head was starting to spin and I felt lightheaded.
" Let go of me!"
I tried to jerk free but for some reason, I felt powerless.
What the hell had that bartender given me to drink, I try to reach for my phone to dial Maxim's number but the other guy snatches it away from my hands.
" It's best if you stop struggling and accept that you're ours for the night"
The two men exchanged a thumbs-up sign with the bartender and I finally realized why I was feeling powerless, the bastard had spiked my drink.
I struggled as they pulled me into the corridor, once I saw an opening, I sunk my teeth into the scarred guy's arm.
My actions only seemed to have enraged them further.
" You crazy bitch"
The scarred guy growled as he shoved me against the wall.
" We were planning on going easy on you but not anymore"
The feral glint in their eyes made me shudder subconsciously, as they reached for my gown to rip it off, I screamed as hard as I could.
" Get the fuck away from her!"
The deep commanding voice made the two men freeze, as I turned to the source of the voice, I saw the hottest-looking guy I'd ever seen, he had the looks of a fallen angel, and the two front buttons of his shirt were open, revealing his rippling muscles, his dark hair slightly tussled and his green eyes flashed dangerously.
The two men immediately darted away like rabbits, dropping my phone along the way, although I was puzzled, I dismissed their fearful reaction out of drunkenness.
My eyes locked onto his hot sinful lips and I sucked in a breath, the moment he walked in, I knew he was the one I wanted to take my virginity.
Mustering all the strength I had left, I sashayed over to him and murmured in the most sensual voice I could manage.
" Thanks for saving my life handsome stranger, as a reward, I want you to fuck me "
" For the next two months, you are mine, I'm your master, you are my slave, every part of your body belongs to me and I will have you, anywhere, anytime and anyhow I want you, Have I made myself fucking clear?"

"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin.

He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
