QueenFrieza

Excerpt: 
His lips left her neck only long enough to say, “If the invisible scars he left don't disappear now, I'll keep trying again and again until they do. Soon your body will know only me.” 

Her eyes were still swollen from her previous tears, but they began to water again for a far different reason than before. She tried to pull away and hide her face from him. 

“Promise me,” she uttered. “Promise me I'll never be in the same room as him ever again.” 

His fist clenched and he had to control his anger. 

Quieter than before he whispered, “I promise.”

How I Became The Alpha Mafia Boss' Target

Gus warned them on the plane that they would likely be there for quite a while. The politics of New Vista didn't carry across seas even if the Morelli fortune did. They would be left alone for a lot longer in a generally more peaceful place than the city they left behind.

Since Ethan didn't ride the elevator and his competitive nature had him rushing up the stairs to get there first, he was already settling in when he heard the door down the hallway close and Rachel had gotten to her room.

He was hyper-aware of her existence since the walls between them had broken. He gave into her teasing and let it linger in his thoughts for a long time.
