Deliver Us Into Temptation

From the first moment I saw Dane Kilman step behind my father's pulpit, a hunger inside me awoke-and gnashed its sharp teeth. He carried himself with the gravity of a man twice his age, all dark eyes and darker smiles. The congregation saw a young man called to serve. I saw a wolf dressed in reverence, cloaked in scripture and secrets.

Now he's everywhere. In the prayer circle. In our home for Sunday dinners. In my dreams. The way he watches me isn't holy. It's hungry. And when he says my name, it sounds more like a command than a blessing.

Amelia.

He makes my name feel like sin.

I want to believe he's here for the right reasons-that his devotion is pure. But every sermon feels like a dare. Every confession drips with something darker than grace. And I can't shake the feeling that he didn't come here to serve God.

He came to ruin me.

And maybe-I want him to.
