I nodded my head He had no idea how tempted I was Why else did I sneak out of the hotel and drive here? Why did I give him my number? Why did I dare hi any of this? He made me lose my damn mind

I wanted to break free so badly, I didn’t have control I couldn’t control anything in ht with Luke and there wasn’t anyone to stop me

Jake couldn’t tell me what to do I could let my hair be wild I could smear my makeup My clothes could fall to the floor It didn’t matter It was all up to me I wanted it so badly I could taste it I could taste him

Luke dropped me in the center of the bed and crawled towardtoward his kill His teeth grazed over my collarbone
