“Look, Tom. I-“
“You don’t have to say it, Kate. If you don’t love me back, it’s okay. I get it.”
“No! Tom, it’s not like that! I just-“
“You just what, Kate?”
“I don’t want to say it if I don’t mean it.” He looked back over to the pool, which was glowing radiantly with all the colors of the lights on the trees. “I’m sorry.” He glanced back over to me, smiling. His eyes were so beautiful in the moonlight. I don’t know what compelled me to do it, but I kissed him. My eyes shut tight as I cupped his face with both of my hands. After awhile, I could feel him kissing back. A burst of fire returned in my throat, just as it did before. Only this time, it travelled all throughout my body. His hands gripped my waist, and he pulled me in closer. His tongue began to pry my mouth open, lusting for the taste of my own. We were so into it, and it was probably my fault. The only reason why I was kissed him was because I felt bad.... When Tom becomes enraged about the one thing he can't have, Kate refuses to give her virginity to him. With Tom in jail, Kate has the freedom to be with someone else. Little does she know that the guy she ends up with is Tom's best friend. The two plot revenge against Kate, planning to do the worst to her on prom night, which is also her birthday. But when Matthew, Tom's best friend, falls for Kate, he has no other choice but to fight to spare Kate from a horrible night in paradise that will scar her for the rest of her life.

Nia:
He's a broken soul with a dark past. He's a fearful man who sees nothing but red in the world.
I want to hug him.
I want to, dare I say, love him.
But will he let me?
Apollo:
She's a ray of sunshine that burns my eyes with every smile. A flower with poison hidden beneath her petals. I want to break her and uncover her hidden dark desires. There's something about her and I can't let go even though I know I should. A world like mines isn't a place for her delicate soul and I fucking hate that.

"Submit to me." He repeats, harder this time as he steps closer to me.
"I am not some puppy you can command to do as you say. Who in the fuck do you think i am? Kali?"
His frown deepens at my tone and in a second his cold rough hands are wrapped around my neck. I whimper at the sudden move and my body goes tense when he squeezes. "Apo-"
"I said to fucking submit! Do you need me to force you to?" He growls in my face. His scent suffocates me more than his hands are and I remain silent, fearing that I will say the wrong thing that'll end in me buried six feet under.
"What? Cat got your tongue?" He taunts with an evil smirk on his face.
He's trying to scare me into submission. I refuse. If me dying saves my dignity then so be it but I will not let this evil man think he can control me. "I am not yours to submit to, Apollo," I say as loud as can with his hands still choking me. "I am not your pet. If you want to hurt me, then hurt me but I refuse to be the woman to fall at your every command. You tried that once, remember? And where did that get me? In the hands of your enemy. I fucking. Refuse." I used all of my strength to shove him away from me with heavy force.
