"Breathe." He dipped his head down so that his lips were right at my ear, his strong arm wrapped securely around my waist, molding my body into his. "If you're going to fall apart,." He starts, teeth gritted. "Now's the time. I'll be here to put you back together when it's over." I squeezed my eyes shut again, and I did just that. I fell apart. ******* Secrets. Lies. Deception. Murder. I'd seen and done it all. And not willingly. So I left. I sacrificed my freedom to save myself, and the only way to ensure my own safety was to start over. Clean slate. New people. New me. But the last thing I expected when I arrived at Manonwell Prep Academy was to be bombarded by a boy-no, a man who held some unknown vendetta against me. Call it obsession, infatuation, hatred. To me it was all one in the same. He was everywhere I turned, like a shadow. Watching me. Taunting me. Haunting me. And it was all because of something I did to him a long time ago. It was something so bad that he couldn't stand me, that he wanted me dead, and the idea of making my life a living hell was something that he took pride in. But I didn't remember. I had no clue what I could've done to him in the past, but he was hellbent on pushing me until I did. My plans on starting over were shattered the minute I stepped inside that school. He was the type of person that demanded your attention without having to speak. He was untamed and wild and unhinged. But what he didn't know was that the Winter Travers that he knew in past, the one I didn't remember, was no longer alive. I was different. She was gone and I was here. And he was everything I should've been afraid of. Sinister, quiet, manipulative, but I knew it would be a cold day in hell before I let him win. Ronan was like gasoline waiting to be doused on the fire that inside me, and if he was ready to burn, then so was I.

Gonna wind you gonna up real tight, bring you to the edge again and again until you feel like you're gonna go insane, but I'm not gonna stop, not gonna stop until I want to, not until I think you deserve it. Gonna torture and punish you in the best way possible. And, do you wanna know the funny part about it? You're gonna love every fucking second of it." DYLAN DANE'S one night stand with legendary womanizer and bad boy KADEN KNIGHT should've been what it was suppose to be - a one night stand. His serial play boy ways left him satisfied and even had a "one time" rule wherein he never repeats a girl. His high speed lifestyle of drugs, hardcore sex, and violence deterred her from ever wanting more than just one night. These elements taken account for, she had not once considered that the passion of their night together would lead to his eventual breaking of that rule as well as hers of avoiding sin. Despite his covetous attempts, she refuses to give in, but to him, the chase of it all is more than half the fun.
