"One night. That's all I want. I promise I won't expect anything more than what you offer." She murmured, pleadingly and reached back to the zipper. Her dress slipped down and pooled at her feet, exposing her sweet little body to me. Doing my absolute best to look away, I swallowed hard and shook my head. I needed to get her out of here and home in her own damn bed before I changed my fucking mind, plow through that little barrier that was keeping her innocent, and let her learn the hard way. "Damnit, Hart. Put your dress back on. I can't do this. I'm trying my best to stay out of trouble. You are trouble." "Please..." She begged quietly. "I won't be clingy. I won't say anything to anyone. No one will ever know. I promise." As she began to beg me, my eyes lifted to her and my mind began flipping through the excuses I could use to let her down gently. But when I caught a glimpse of her scantily clad body, I knew right then and there I was fucked. Utter perfection. Me being the reckless Burkhalter I was- I threw caution to the wind as soon as I saw flesh. Fuck my parents. Fuck hard work and responsibility. Fuck being the good son I was supposed to be. Tomorrow is another day. A new beginning. Tonight, she's mine. Arrogant and reckless Austin Burkhalter's life has been thrown off the track after being thrown in the drunk tank for the second time in less than a month. In order for him to get his precious lifestyle back, his parents are sending him to live and work on a farm in a small town in Mississippi where he must learn the definition of hard work and responsibility. Everything changes when he is faced with the beautiful and innocent southern belle Elizabeth Hart, the farmer's daughter. From the moment he meets her, he knows things are going downhill for the both of them. After one night of pure lust and pent-up desire, they are both faced with life-altering bittersweet betrayal.

"You're mine." He growled. "I am my own person! And I belong to no one. You-" He suddenly stalked in front of me, caging me in by his arms. There was almost a feral gleam to his eyes. Then they sparkled with amusement. He brought his face a breath away from mine. So close, I could smell his intoxicating scent of evening musk and all alpha male. Breathing it in, I shuddered in pleasure. Before my eyes slid closed, I could have sworn I saw him smile. He leaned in even more so that his lips were brushing against my ear. I moaned softly. "You were saying, little one?" My eyes opened in shock when I felt his teeth nip my right ear lobe. I gasped. It immediately started to throb. “You... d-don't... o-own... m-m-me?” Still distracted, my response came out in the form of question. He smiled, as though I was a small child that just said something stupid, and he was the parent who indulges my every whim. As though he heard my thoughts, his smile widened. "Oh little one, you have no idea." * * * Addie and her twin brother Aaron, are coming back from living with her aunt and uncle in Miami. It's going to be their first year at Beylix High.

My first mistake had been re-noticing people in my classes, if I hadn't done that; I wouldn't have re-noticed Tristan Everdeen. I should have known that the moment I had become entranced in those eyes of his-silver, deep, contemplative-that things never would be the same. But of course, I didn't. Because since when does life let you off the hook and just allow you to know those kind of things? *NOTE: This story was written when I was much younger and doesn't reflect my current views on healthy relationships. There are also errors that should be fixed with an edit run-through but I don't currently have the time to do what would basically be a complete rewrite of the book. If this still is good with you, thank you for the support on my story!*
