"You don't even know what you're getting yourself into."
"I do, I get it. I'm helping you and I don't care how much you push me away."
"It's scary, Eleanor. These people don't care who they hurt. They don't care that you're young, they don't care that you've got your whole life ahead of you, they don't give a shit about you, love. They just care about pain, blood, revenge, and hurting me; especially anybody fighting for me."
"I said, I don't care."
-----------------------------
Eleanor can't live like this anymore. Same town all of her life, same people, same routine. She has to change.
She had never felt love when she lived in Montana, not by her friends, not by her family. She never knew what it was like to love somebody, until she met Derek.
They have a strange love. He's way older than she is, and at first, he's controlling, obsessive, and hides things from her. He says he cares, but does he show it?
But soon, he can't hide things anymore. She figures out some of his dirtiest, and darkest secrets.
Their romance begins when she realizes they have more in common than she thinks.

"Derek, I can help you. I think you're underestimating what I'm capable of."
"No one speaks to me the way you have been lately" He warned, his eyes trained on mine.
"What are you going to do, kill me?" I answered back, my gaze focused only on his kissable full lips.
"Much worse." I didn't have time to comprehend anything before he gripped my hips and slammed me down onto the bed, making my breath hitch. My hair had covered my face from the impact, very quickly I pushed it out of my way when Luca hovered over my body, his hands holding him up on each side of me.
"Wha-"
He shut me up by placing his lips on mine, making my entire insides melt. Sparks jolted throughout my body as his soft lips molded with mine, he kissed me with so much need and urgency that a quiet moan unexpectedly escaped from me...
