Prologue

Perrie had known from the time that she was a little girl that she didn't like men. She watched time and time again as man after man walked through her front door and she could hear her mum screaming profanities through the walls. Malia, Perrie's older sister, always stayed in Perrie's room with her and protected her until the men left. Perrie wasn't quite sure at the time what was happening. All she knew was that those men sure liked to kiss and touch her mother quite a lot. Perrie knew that her father wasn't too keen on being part of her family, but sometimes when the going got tough, her dad would let her and Malia stay over at his house and they'd spend some time with their stepmum and their half twin sisters Mae and Liv until mum called for them to come back.

Perrie's childhood made her hate men, yet she was just like her mother by the time that she grew up. When Perrie turned fifteen, she finally learned that her mother was a prostitute. Perrie was a bit more classy than that. She was a porn star. She got paid to spread her legs as people jacked off behind a computer screen. Perrie didn't mind. She loved sex and she loved to tease people. It wasn't her fault that she had the body of a porn star. Nor was it her fault that she lead on men.

Truth being that Perrie didn't even like men. She was a lesbian, but absolutely no one knew. All except herself. She would lick a pussy any day before she'd prefer to suck a dick. But because her sexuality was a secret, she was a maneater and she messed with men's feelings for the hell of it. That was just the evil quality that she had and no one could ever try to change that. It was just who she was.

Her hatred for men started when she turned fifteen. Her mum and one of her clients were getting serious. It was much more than a business-professional relationship. Her mum and Chris were dating and Chris moved in with them. By now, Malia was already eighteen and she was going to college, so she wasn't there to protect Perrie. Perrie was all on her own now. Chris was a very... physical man. He was not afraid to speak his mind, nor put you in place. He had slapped Perrie and her mum before. Malia knew nothing of it. She thought that Chris was a great guy, but she didn't know the things that Chris would do to her little sister.

Chris was always right by Perrie, no matter the situation. He was always jealous every time that Perrie would rave on about a hot guy in school. Chris hugged her a little too long and he kissed her cheek a little too close to her lips. He gave her the most attention. He would sleep in her bed whenever she took a nap. He'd stay in the bathroom every time she took a shower. Chris would smell her every time he was within a good distance of her. He would sneak into her room every night and make her do things that no fifteen year old girl should ever have to endure. It scarred Perrie. Emotionally and physically. She didn't dare tell anyone. Not her mum, not her sister, not even her best friends. She hid it from the world because she knew that if she dared tell a soul, Chris would punish her severely and she didn't want that. After the first night Chris assaulted her, she dyed her hair red and she changed her personality. She was no longer sweet little flower crown Perrie. No, now she was porn star and maneater Perrie.

Perrie trusted no one after that. Eventually, Chris got arrested. For being a peeping tom, but no one ever found out the things that he did to her. Even if it was safe to tell now that he was put away, some things even the strongest women haven't the heart to tell. Perrie tried not to go back to that place often, but she did. A lot. And as Perrie sat there on her couch, the memories came flooding back and she found herself tearing up.

"Babe?" Quinn, Perrie's best friend, shouted through their small flat. Perrie quickly wiped her eyes with the sleeve of her sweater, sniffing all the painful memories away.

"Yeah?" Perrie answered back. Quinn found her way to the living room and dropped two bags of clothes onto the sofa. She plumped down next to Perrie and laid her head on her shoulder and sighed loudly.
