"Aaron," I muttered, my voice a little sharper than I intended. "Stop looking at me like that."
He stepped closer, his breath teasing my ear. "Like what, Vixen?"
I fought the warmth creeping up my neck. "Like you're going to devour me."
His smile was slow, dangerous. "I could, but you'd enjoy it too much."
My heart skipped, and I swallowed hard, refusing to break eye contact. "Don't play games with me."
He leaned in, whispering, "Oh, I'm not. I'm just getting started."

Scarlett
My plan was simple:
Stay invisible.
Finish law school.
Take revenge on the monsters who ruined my life.
Falling in love? That was never part of the plan.
But then he came along-dangerous, relentless, and impossible to ignore.
It started as a game-or so I let myself believe.
Until the game became something more.
Until I realized I was playing with fire.

Aaron
The moment I saw her, I knew she was mine.
Scarlett Jones was meant to be my everything.
And I would go to any lengths-destroy anyone, fight anything-to make her see it too.
She calls me reckless.
I call her my salvation.
She thinks she can keep me at a distance, but she's already caught in my orbit.
She's my rose, sharp with thorns.
My damnation and my redemption.
