"We need to get out of here," Ethan whispered. "We've heard enough." As they turned to leave, their luck ran out. One of Victoria's guards spotted them and raised the alarm.

The grand ballroom of the Blackwood Hotel was a breathtaking sight, adorned with glittering chandeliers and elegant floral arrangements. The annual charity gala was in full swing, and the air buzzed with the chatter of the city's elite. Among the guests was Sophia Davis, a renowned lifestyle columnist known for her sharp wit and keen observations. She was there to cover the event, her discerning eye capturing every detail.
Sophia stood in a corner, her notepad in hand, jotting down notes about the extravagant décor and the who's who of the city's high society. Her green eyes sparkled with curiosity, and her auburn hair cascaded in waves over her shoulders. She had always been good at blending in, observing without drawing attention to herself. But tonight, something-or rather, someone-would change that.
Ethan Blackwood, the host of the evening and one of the city's most enigmatic billionaires, was making his way through the crowd. Tall and impeccably dressed, Ethan exuded an air of confidence and authority. His steel-blue eyes scanned the room with a mix of boredom and detachment, until they landed on Sophia.
Ethan's interest was piqued. Unlike the other guests who sought his attention, Sophia seemed uninterested in his wealth and status. She was engrossed in her work, completely unaware of the effect she had on those around her. Ethan decided then and there that he had to meet her.
As he approached, Sophia felt a presence at her side. She looked up to find Ethan standing before her, his gaze steady and intense. Her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly composed herself, determined not to be swayed by his charm.
"Good evening," Ethan said, his voice a deep rumble that sent shivers down her spine. "Enjoying the gala?"
Sophia raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "Just here for the story," she replied. "But it's quite the event."
Ethan smiled, a genuine expression that softened his otherwise stoic demeanor. "Well, I'm glad you think so. I couldn't help but notice you over here, working so diligently. Might I ask what you're writing about?"
Sophia hesitated, unsure of his intentions. "I'm covering the event for my column," she said. "Capturing the essence of the evening, if you will."
"Intriguing," Ethan said, leaning in slightly. "And what have you captured so far?"
Sophia looked into his eyes, searching for any hint of pretense. She found none. "The atmosphere is elegant, the guests are glamorous, and the host is...unexpectedly engaging."
Ethan chuckled, a sound that warmed the cool air around them. "Well, I hope I can live up to your observations. How about an exclusive interview? It might add a unique touch to your story."
Sophia's eyes widened in surprise. "An interview? With you?"
"Why not?" Ethan said with a shrug. "I think it could be quite interesting. Plus, I'd love to hear your take on things."
Sophia considered the offer. An exclusive interview with Ethan Blackwood could boost her column's readership significantly. But more than that, she was intrigued by the man himself. There was a depth to him that she couldn't quite figure out, and she wanted to know more.
"Alright," she said finally. "Let's do it."
Ethan's smile widened. "Excellent. Shall we step outside? It's a bit quieter on the terrace."
Sophia nodded, following him through the throng of guests and out onto the terrace. The cool night air was a welcome relief from the bustling ballroom. They found a secluded corner, and Ethan gestured for her to sit.
"Tell me, Sophia," he began, his voice soft and inviting. "What drives you to do what you do? What makes you passionate about writing?"
Sophia was taken aback by the personal nature of his question. Most people she interviewed were more interested in talking about themselves. But there was something in Ethan's eyes that told her he genuinely wanted to know.
"Well," she said, choosing her words carefully, "I've always loved stories. There's something magical about capturing a moment in time, about sharing someone's experience with the world. It's my way of connecting with people, of understanding their lives."
Ethan nodded thoughtfully. "I can see that. You're very talented at what you do. It takes a certain kind of person to see beyond the surface, to capture the essence of things."
Sophia felt a blush creep up her cheeks. "Thank you," she said softly. "What about you, Ethan? What drives you?"
Ethan's gaze turned inward, his expression pensive. "I've always had a need to prove myself," he admitted. "To show that I can succeed, not just for my own sake, but for those who believe in me. My mother, my friends-they've supported me through everything. I want to make them proud."
Sophia listened, captivated by his sincerity. She felt a connection forming, a bond that went beyond the superficial. For the first time in a long while, she felt like she was truly seeing someone.
Their conversation continued late into the night, the terrace becoming a private world of shared thoughts and dreams. As the evening drew to a close, both Sophia and Ethan knew that their lives were about to change in ways they couldn't yet imagine.

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.

"Then why aren't you?" I responded, loving the feel of him pressed so close, my back to the mirror, my front to him. But even still, in some far corner of my lust-fogged mind, I realized that we were still in a bathroom. Anyone could walk in and see us. The thought of getting discovered was scary and erotic at the same time. "Oh, we're not done. Spread your legs a bit for me, Kitten." He commanded. When I did as he instructed, he settled between my legs again. "Now close your eyes. And try not to move." Dominic Rutherford murmured.
