Heat

Mine.

The moment I lay eyes on Sydney Lewis, that is the only word my mind can conjure. She is the promise of everything I could never have, the light drawing me out of my darkness.

I have no business touching her. Corrupting her. Defiling her.

And yet, I can’t stay away. No matter how she cries out from the pain I inflict on her stunning body, no matter how many times I wring those sweet sounds of pleasure from her lips, it is never enough.

By the time she finally realizes who I really am, it’s far too late to save her. I cannot bring myself to let go of the only good and pure thing in my life.

Even if doing so might keep her from the true danger… Me.

The monster in her bed.
