DREW #COMPLETED
*****-"I've told you I'm not good for you." -he whispered still kissing her, lifting her so that her legs were already around his waist, now bringing them both back to the bed, laying on top of her proceeding to kiss her like it was the only thing he ever wanted to do in his life. But she responded with the same passion, every kiss, every touch, now taking off his shirt and unzipping his pants. She wasn't thinking. She surrendered. .... -"Fuck you Emma for doing this to me." -he whispered hearing her painful moan once he was inside of her. He felt cheated but he couldn't stop.***** This is a story about Andrew Smith, a 17-year old highschool student who is known not only as the school's bad boy but also a criminal and gangster with troubled life. His only goal is to move out of his home that he shares with his always drunk stepfather Bill and take his little sister with him. But once he meets Emma Garcia, straight A's popular but innocent girl from his school, the question is, will his plan change? This is a spin-off story from "Now You Are Mine" involving the backstory of a "Drew" character. Even though this story is connected to NYAM, you don't have to read both of them. Parts of those two stories do intervene and they share the same timeline. I suggest you read them both, but again it's not crucial for understanding each one of them. Also, the story is not suitable for those younger than 18 since it includes mature scenes of sex, violence, abuse etc., which are not by any means condoned by the author. With that said, thank you for reading and I hope you'll enjoy it! ps. I'm updating often.Complete
