“I wanted to be the villain in your story. Part of me still wants to be the villain.” He took a breath. “I thought it would keep you safe, Alys, because everything I love gets taken away from me. And if he finds out you’re mine, he will increase his efforts tenfold, and I cannot stand the thought of losing you. I don’t want this life for you.”
I just can’t. Asher sets my heart on fire. 💗
