Wade Breakups fucking suck. I should know, I've had enough of them to be an expert. One after another, the cycle repeats, leaving me wondering if love just isn't meant for me. Maybe I should give up. But the hopeless romantic in me refuses, whispering that something, or someone, is out there waiting. I just never expected him to come wrapped in power, danger, and a touch so devastatingly addictive... Dorian I've always taken what I wanted. No dream was too big, no obstacle too great. Power, wealth, control-I built my world around them. Love? That was never part of the equation. Until Wade. His innocent smile shattered my defenses, his touch made me need. And now, I'll have him, mind, body, and soul. Consequences be damned. Because a man like me never loses... and I sure as hell won't start now.
