FAKE DATING "We are more than friends but less than lovers." - "Oh go to hell, I was trying to have an epiphany," I mutter as he pulls me onto the bed, leaving a light kiss on my shoulder.

What should've been just one night of surrendering to my desires turned into an endless stream of obsession. A deadly obsession. A sickening, mind-numbing obsession. She coursed through my veins, spreading rapidly like venom. She was my very own poison. She was my savior and my downfall. She was everything that I've ever dreamed of, everything I've ever wanted. Her taste lingered on my tongue, her scent haunted me every day, and her siren eyes were imprinted into my memory forever. She shouldn't have left me, she shouldn't have created this insatiable craving that couldn't be relinquished. Despite her attempt at trying to run from me, there wasn't a corner of this Earth that she could hide in because I'd always find her. Wherever she went, I'd be right behind her. Chasing her. Hunting her. Yearning for her. Becoming infatuated with the seductress wasn't on my agenda. I didn't plan on being sucked into her world but here I was, on my knees for a woman who pushed me away every chance she got. I burned for her and I'd burn the world for her. She controlled my heart, mind, body, and soul. And the worst part was, I wouldn't have it any other way.

You're not supposed to want your best friend's brother. Skylar knows that better than anyone, yet she can't seem to ignore the way Damian looks at her. He's calm, a little intense and watches her as if he's physically unable to look away. He's wanted her from the moment she was introduced as his sister's best friend- and when an accidental text is sent his way, everything changes. Those stares grow longer. His need for her intensifies. Skylar can feel it, and with temptation thick in the air, she no longer knows how to stay away- even if staying away was the only thing she was ever supposed to do.

"I think my father's right about you. You're poison." "Then I guess you're just allergic to it, because you can't seem to stay away." ........... 𝗔𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻- My father calls me his beautiful rose, a flower he tries to protect from the thorns of the world he fights against. He has no idea the biggest thorn is the boy he hates, the son of his enemy. I try to hate him too, to see him as a monster, but I've learned that a beautiful boy can have an equally dark heart, and that forbidden is just another word for exactly what I want. 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗿- They see the heir to a criminal empire, the monster in a designer suit. They don't see the boy who had to grow up too fast, the one who doesn't believe in a love that isn't born from blood and loyalty. But she... she sees something else. She's the daughter of the man who wants me dead, and she makes me question every rule I've ever lived by. Wanting her isn't just a sin; it's a war, and I'm ready to burn down my world just to keep her. ...... "He was the heir to everything I was raised to destroy, and yet, he was the only one who made me feel safe." "I was born to protect my family, but she was the only one I'd be willing to go to war for."

PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS "The softest place to fall" "Who did this to you?" The question hangs in the air between us. I can't look at him. I stare at my hands instead. "Ella." His voice breaks on my name. "Please. Talk to me." "I- " The word comes out as barely a whisper. "I can't." "You can. Whatever it is, you can tell me. I'm not going anywhere."
