Tomás
I’ve lost everything.
Forced into a prison masking as a school, I find myself in the crosshairs of more than one killer. My savior? The arrogant prick who wants to control me. Kieran is a nightmare wrapped in a seductive package and when he sets his sights on me I don’t know whether to fight him or kiss him.
Kieran
I am the eldest bastard of one of the four founders of Arcadia University, and I will do anything to see my family fall.
The secrets I’ve kept hidden behind my heart now threaten to bury me alive with the arrival of Tomás. He consumes my space, my thoughts, my nightmares. I hate him for how he makes me feel. This toxic attraction between us forces me to question what matters most—vengeance, power, love. But Tomas doesn’t fit into my world of lies and violence and I’m not ready to lose it all for a beautiful dark temptation.
Be Warned: m/m sex
He was so close. All I had to do was lean in, bite his plump bottom lip. See where that got me. And before I could think it’d get me dead, dead, dead, I did it. I leaned in angry and confused and just tired, and I bit his bottom lip. I heard him gasp, felt the suck of air against my mouth, and made sure to lick before I pulled away. That had been the most erotic thing I’d ever done, and I wasn’t a virgin.
The shattered look on Kieran’s face after that was worth it. Better than the bathroom hand job.
Yeah. I could push buttons too.
“You want me to be yours,” I said. “Then earn it.” Yeah, that may have taken things too far. I was pretty sure in his mind, I had to earn it. Not the other way around.
But I didn’t care.
I was tired of being used and treated like shit. When he didn’t move or say anything back, I shoved him hard. But the guy was solid steel. Didn’t budge. He clamped his fingers around my forearm and kept my palm on his chest. Even through the layers of clothes, I felt the strong pounding beat of his heart.
So beautiful.
And then he kissed me. It was a feral, angry kiss as if he were proving to me the type of monster that consumed him. For a moment, my brain spazzed out. What was I doing kissing the enemy?
