When I first laid eyes on my older brother’s best friend Theo, I committed a deadly sin. I knew lust for the very first time in my young life and pined for him the way little girls do.
One dark night, Theo saved me from danger by committing a second deadly sin. Theo swore me to secrecy as we buried the evidence. I was never to speak of his heroism again.
Years later, Theo was still in my brother’s life. He still watched me with shadowed eyes. I wondered if he knew that I still loved him.
Theo saw how I’d grown into my shapely, curvy figure. He saw how I’d blossomed into a woman.
Still, he told me that I was nothing but a bad girl.
I had no idea just how depraved Theo actually was… until I stepped into the shadow. I teased him enough times that the dam broke. Then he led me down a sinful and decadent path into corruption.
But our shared secret couldn’t stay buried. And now I am owned by secrets long buried that may threaten my very life.
