He didn’t steal my innocence. He rewrote it in blood.

BlairI live by rules.

They keep me clean.

Untouched.

Invisible.

I used to be the girl no one saw.

The quiet one. The awkward one.

The one who flinched when people got too close.

Then Kane Fischer looked at me.

The first to see me instead of through me.

And everything I built to keep myself safe began to rot.

He’s my best friend’s older brother.

The one with the bruised knuckles and the blacked-out Range Rover.

The one who never noticed me—until I changed.

Now he breaks in.

To my room. My routines. My skin.

He says I belong to him.

That he’ll destroy anyone who touches me.

That I was made to kneel for him.

I should run.

But I don’t.

Because when he touches me, I forget how to breathe.

And when he looks at me, I remember what it feels like to burn.

KaneShe thinks she’s safe.

Behind her books. Her silence. Her rules.

But I’ve been watching her.

Not always knowing it was her.

Not until those violet eyes looked at me again—and everything snapped.

Blair Everett is mineShe just doesn’t know it yet.

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.

I’ll carve my name into every inch of her until she forgets who she was before me.
