Raven’s hand gripped his jaw, forcing Luca’s gaze up.

“These lips are mine. Not his, Not anyone’s.”

“I-I… I wasn’t –” Luca’s protest broke into a shiver as Raven’s thumb brushed his mouth.

Raven’s eyes darkened. “Say it, Luca. Say they belong to me.”

★★★

Luca never meant to step into Raven Volkov’s world.

He was just a waiter with soft eyes and a quiet heart, until the mafia lord stole him as leverage.

Raven is cold, ruthless, feared by everyone who speaks his name. To him, emotions are weakness. But the moment he lays eyes on Luca, weakness begins to consume him.

To the outside world, Luca is nothing more than a captive.

To Raven, he’s an obsession.

But in the shadows of the Volkov mansion, amid betrayal, blood, and fire, desire twists into something far more dangerous than love.

Because Raven doesn’t just want Luca.

He wants to own him.

And in Raven’s world, possession always comes with a price.
