He made a promise to protect her.
He never promised to keep his hands off.

Years ago, the priest took him in - a boy forged from violence, too quiet for his age, with eyes that saw far too much.

He gave him shelter. Purpose. Discipline. But he also gave him rules. And the first was this:

Stay away from my daughter.

Now the priest is dead, and the girl who was once kept hidden behind chapel doors is no longer a child. She's temptation in its most dangerous form - devout, untouched, and far too curious for her own good.

He returns not as the boy he was, but as the man forged in the fire of exile. Hardened. Unrepentant. Sent back to the parish under the guise of protection - fulfilling a promise to the very man who once cast him out.

He watches her from the pews. From the shadows. From behind the confessional screen.

She slips inside seeking sanctuary.

Instead, she finds him.

And what he offers is anything but holy.

Because he remembers every stolen glance.

Every whispered prayer.

Every wicked thought he was never supposed to have.

Now he's ready to confess. And this time, she'll be the one left begging for absolution.
