Medusa takes the job because it pays well and the requirements are simple. One house, two kids, one woman to answer to. Bianca is all three things she was warned about and none of the things she expected. Cold in a way that feels practiced, distant in a way that feels like a choice. She runs the house like she runs everything else, on her own terms, with no room for anything she didn't ask for. But what happens when the person who has never let herself be wanted becomes the only one you can't stop wanting? And what happens when the girl who was never supposed to matter starts feeling like the only thing that does? There's no good ending to those questions. There's only what happens next.

One stolen moment in the dark changes everything-and Smith's rules start to unravel. But in a world where reputation means everything, love may be the most dangerous crime of all.

You make me feel like I'm losing my mind, and I feel incomplete when you're not around. I yearn for your touch, your scent, and everything about you drives me wild," he admitted, his words close to my face. I let out a shaky breath as I felt a warmth spread through my body. "Thad, I think you're getting something wrong," I began, but he interrupted me. "No, you're the one refusing to admit that you're feeling the same way I am," he insisted, causing me to fall silent.

The madness and craziness in his eyes only made more tears stream down my cheeks. He was a complete psychopath. "Don't close those pretty eyes when I am making love with you, amore.

Tears blurred my hazy vision and a strangling sound left my throat when Elliott wrapped his hand around my throat. He was choking me mercilessly.

Have you ever touched yourself, Miss Hawthorne?" He leaned in and dragged his tongue slowly along the shell of my right ear. My head was growing fuzzy with lust. "Yes," I breathed. "How many times?" "Multiple... multiple times," I answered shakily. "Who were you thinking of when you did it?" he teased, voice thick with dark pleasure. I almost moaned his name but barely held back. "No one." "No one?" He grabbed both of my breasts fully, squeezing them firmly in his large hands. "No one," I repeated weakly. "Have you ever..." He paused, rolling my stiff nipples between his fingers, tugging them lightly. "Done it in front of a man?" I gasped sharply. "No." "Do you want to try it out?" he mumbled hotly against my flushed skin. I heaved hard, my entire body trembling with need. "Answer me." "Yes."

"Gerard..." I gritted against his lips. "Don't..." he rubbed my clit slowly, and I gasped, closing my eyes shut. "You ever think of talking about that damn blondie in front of me again," he dipped a finger into me slowly, and I squeezed my toes in my shoes. "Or think of seeing or getting stuck with him forever. It will never happen while I'm alive, Darlin Zera. Hmm?" He pulled out and shoved it in again, and I let out a silent cry. "We...are...in the library," I croaked, forcing my eyes to look at his. "You think I didn't know that? Huh?" He slowly drew his finger out before forcing it back in. I bit my bottom lips sharply and suppressed my moan. "Also, you will be a good girl for me and go to the teacher's office. Tell them you want me as a partner instead. " He pulled out, leaving half of his finger inside me before shoving it back in. ****** By day, Zera Palmer is a regular high school student.
