Forgive Me: Marked By The Priest
Fiction·AlphaKelly
“You can play Priest for as long as you like,” he spat, ignoring my protests, “but you will never find salvation.”
His words struck like a curse, but that wasn’t the reason my chest heaved, goosebumps littered my skin, and definitely not the reason I felt hot despite the chilling dip from the lake.
Ezreal’s eyes widened momentarily, noticing. I winced as his hand shifted, pressing against the stiff betrayal straining against my soaked robes.
He stilled for only a second, then a wicked grin overtook his features.
“Well, well,” Ezreal drawled, his voice taunting “Look who’s getting excited,”
“Stop,” I gasped, squeezing my eyes shut as the humiliation dug deep. “Please….”
He leaned forward, his breath hot as his lips ghosted over the shell of my ear.
“I will taint you so bad,” he whispered, his hand tightening against my crotch. “So bad you won’t have the courage to stand on the altar you abandoned me for.”
******
At sixteen, Ezreal Vossell took the fall for a murder to protect the only boy he ever loved—Baron Lander, the timid son of the town’s high priest.
A known delinquent, the bastard child of the mayor, but the only one who saw him for his true self was Baron. Ezreal made the ultimate sacrifice, and all he wanted in return was Baron’s support.
But alas, on the day of the trial, Baron betrayed him, casting him aside to please his father. Ezreal was sentenced to life in prison, his heart shattered beyond repair.
Fifteen years later, he was released, but gone was the naive sixteen-year-old.
He’s returned as the ruthless leader of a mafia syndicate, and with all the power and wealth at his fingertips, he yearned for one thing alone.
Revenge.
