He didn’t steal my innocence. He rewrote it in blood. Blair I live by rules. They keep me clean. Untouched. Invisible. I used to be the girl no one saw until Kane Fischer looked at me. My best friend’s older brother. Bruised knuckles. Blacked-out Range Rover. The one who never noticed me—until I changed. And everything I built to keep myself safe began to rot. Now he’s in my room. My routines. My skin. He says I’m his. That I was made to kneel for him. I should run. But when he touches me, I forget how to breathe. And when he looks at me, I remember what it feels like to burn. Kane She thinks she’s safe behind her books and her rules. But I’ve been watching her. Not until those violet eyes looked at me again did everything snap. Blair Everett is mine. I’ll break her routines. Her resistance. Her world. I’ll teach her how to beg. How to obey. How to love me the way I need to be loved. Dark. Twisted. All-consuming. Because I don’t want her heart. I want her soul. Marked. Owned. Branded. And I’ll carve my name into every inch of her until she forgets who she was before me.
