“That’s Liam Walcott, Gallows Hill's resident flirt. I’ve heard he’s slept with almost every single willing girl on the entire campus. All have nothing but glowing reviews, I guess.”

She is not even close to the first student to try to gain my attention, but she sure as shit is the first that’s succeeded. Fuck, she has more than just my attention.

I didn’t mean to be that harsh, I like the kid a lot, but to protect myself, to protect Skyla? Yeah, I’d kill him in a heartbeat, and bury him right here in this cemetery, without a single ounce of regret.

“I could never and will never get over you, Skyla. I’m already fucking sunk. My life is literally on the line here, yours too, but I’m here. I’m thinking about you in ways I shouldn’t, holding you like you’re mine to keep. I can honestly say that I don’t see a reality where you won’t be my every moment’s desire.”

“You. I want you, Skyla. I’ll do whatever it takes. I’ll beg and plead, I’ll lay at your feet and kneel before you every day. Whatever you need, whatever you want, it’s yours. I would stop the earth on its axis for you.”

My lip curls up at that, anger pulsing through my body at the thought of him touching her, kissing her. Doesn’t everyone understand that she is clearly mine? She’s not ready for me yet but she will be, soon, and when she is, I’ll hack off every limb belonging to anyone that’s ever touched her.

“But I won’t stop until I find a way. I can’t stand back while you marry him. I refuse. The only person you’ll be marrying in this lifetime is me, that’s a fucking promise.”

if I’m going to be honest, I’d share you with as many men as it took. Whatever you want or need to be happy, you can have it, as long as I get an equal piece of your heart at the end of the day.”

“You’re such a manwhore.” “Was,” he says, reaching around to cup my jaw and force my eyes to him over my shoulder. “Abso-fucking-lutely was before you. Now, I’m just your whore.”

“I thought the Brethren weren't a cult, this is feeling very cultish.” “It’s not,” Asher, Liam and I say simultaneously, while Griggs says, “It is.”

“My fiancée is off-limits. If you look at her, I’ll gouge your fucking eyes out. If you talk to her, I’ll cut out your tongue. And if you touch her,” I say, allowing a feral growl to rip through my chest as I chuckle. “I’ll fucking kill you,”

‘What if you could be enough? What if having you and you having her was all you two needed?’ I squashed that inner voice to dust, because we both know that’s not how that would go down. I want to be selfish. I want to steal her away from all of them, keep her tucked away and safe. It’s obvious that currently, there isn’t any room in her heart for me. There’s no room left.

“Go ahead, baby. Make Griggs come. You’ve got a fucking line,” he smirks, like the cheeky asshole he is.

“Give me something that’s just for us, Asher. Please.” The whimper in my please seems to snap any resistance he had. His lips close the distance, pressing fully against my own.
