He buys me clothes no one else gets to see. Ryker Walker is my stepbrother. Two years older. Too dark. Too close. Our rooms are connected. Our lives are, too. And every afternoon after school, he picks me up on his motorcycle - the only guy in our weird little town who does. Everyone stares. But no one knows what really happens when we're alone. I should hate how much I crave him when our parents are gone. But when he looks at me like I already belong to him... I forget what should means. 𝐑𝐲𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐫... She's soft. She's quiet. She's mine. Madeline doesn't even realize it yet. She flinches when I walk in. Blushes when I watch her. Obeys when I tell her what to wear. She's still in high school. Still too innocent for this world - and definitely too innocent for me. But every day I pull up to that curb, watching her run to me like I'm the only thing she trusts...I lose another piece of my self-control. This house is ours now. And I always get what I want. . . . . . . . -𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 (𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩-𝐒𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬) -𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐲 -𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞

I never expected to find myself in the sun-drenched world of Marbella, surrounded by golden beaches and a life of wealth I never knew existed. But it's not the luxury or the beach parties that make my heart race. It's him. 𝐀𝐱𝐞𝐥 𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐳... She's nothing like the girls I'm used to. Nella Rivers is awkward, quiet, and way too innocent for this world. I shouldn't even care. I'm supposed to ignore her. She's family. Step-family. But I can't stop looking. And I can't stop wanting. . . . . . . . - 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 - 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 (𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩-𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐬 👀) - 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐁𝐨𝐲 𝐱 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥-𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥 - 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐱 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 (𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭, 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫-𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥 𝐯𝐬. 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐲) -"𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐎𝐟𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐬, 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐲"
