Brutal Obsession

by S. Massery

“When I’m done with you, your precious little dance team won’t be the only thing I take from you,” I promise.

I shouldn’t want Greyson, of all people. He’s vile and twisted and probably a psychopath. My lungs ache just from remembering our last encounter. And… ugh. I’ve been turned on by thinking about it, too.

He’s going to kill me. I didn’t think it before. When we first collided—well, not the first time—I thought I was strong enough to endure him. To outlive his anger and his ego. Now, I’m not so sure.

He wanted to take what’s mine. He wanted to hurt her in the worst way he could think of. He wanted to steal and take and destroy her. But she has a meaner, scarier, crazier stalker. Me.

“When I break you, it won’t be your leg. Or your ribs. Or your vocal cords. It’s your mind I’m after, Violet. Your mind and your soul, because that black heart that beats behind your ribcage? That already belongs to me.”

“I’m fucking telling you, Vi. It’s you and me. Only us. I’m not letting anyone or anything come between us again. You can count on that.”
