I escaped one crime familyonly to fall for the prince of another!
I feel him enter before I see him. The air shifts.
My heart slams against my ribs.
Whispers say he’s lethal.
Dangerous. Unseen forces coil around him like a living shadow.
I should run.
I can’t.
His eyes pin me in place.
There’s power in his stare, something not entirely human.
My pulse pounds like a drumbeat in the silence.
I stand in a world of marble and canvas.
He rules a kingdom of smoke and blood.
His family deals in secrets.
They say he’s a demon in a suit.
I know I should fear him.
I do.
Yet I reach for him anyway.
Bullets fly. Blood spills.
The lines between worlds blur, and I’m caught in the crossfire.
He won’t let me go.
And God help me…I don’t want him to.
Because I’m his. His obsession. His possession.
