I never stood a chance. Not when Areston De L'Aquila set his sights on me. He's more than just a predator cloaked in Brioni-he is the abyss. Cold, calculated, and deadly in every way that matters. But the moment our eyes lock, it's over. I should run, I know I should. But there's something in him that calls to the darkest parts of me, the ones I've kept hidden, even from myself. He's a storm I can't outrun. Dangerous. Alluring. A perfect nightmare wrapped in a sinfully tempting package. He doesn't just see me. He consumes me and peels back my layers until all that's left is the raw truth neither of us is prepared to face. We're drawn together by an invisible force-our scars, our secrets, our shared thirst for control. But with Areston, it's a fine line between passion and destruction. And once you step over it, there's no going back. You only get stuck deeper and deeper in his abyss to the point where there's nothing left in you.
