KILLIAN POV My camera clicked as I snapped a photo of her from the balcony of the old academy, my eyes never leaving her.I had dropped her off yesterday after we spent some time by the riverbank. Afterward, I went home, took a shower, and headed straight to my red room to look through the photos of my sweetpea that I'd been collecting. I smiled at the thought of her seeing the red room one day and finding her pictures plastered all over the walls."You look like a freak staring down there, Blackwood."I didn't need to turn around to know it was Lucian. He was tossing his lighter up and down."Jason's pissed," he chuckled. His eyes flicked toward me, a wide, twisted grin splitting his face. "He says you spent your entire evening riding around the countryside with the charity case. The whole lot is getting restless, Killian. We all put five hundred bucks into that pot on night one."I slowly lowered my camera, my eyes still fixed on the tiny figure of Hazel below."I told you she's mi

HAZEL POVThe roaring engine of Killian’s motorcycle finally died down as we skidded to a halt near the residential gates. I didn't wait for him to speak. I ripped the helmet off, shoved it into his chest, and bolted toward my dormitory building without looking back once.By 8:00 AM, my eyes burned from the total lack of sleep. I stood in front of our tiny bathroom mirror, splashing cold water on my face. My skin looked pale, and a heavy shade shadowed the areas beneath my eyes. Every time I closed my eyelids, I felt the terrifying weight of his lap beneath me, the cold press of the gun against my jaw, and the absolute certainty in his voice. I’m all yours for the rest of your god damn life.I walked back into the bedroom, pulling a loose black sweater over my body to hide how much my hands were shaking.Winter was sitting at her desk, typing rapidly on her laptop. She looked up, her sharp eyes instantly narrowing as she scanned my face. "Hazel, you look like a walking corpse. Did you

KILLIAN POVThe crack beneath my knuckles was the only thing that silenced the roaring in my ears. The second the fraternity guy stepped into the door of his room, my fist collided with his face. He staggered backwards and groaned, blood instantly spraying from his nose."What the fuck?" he scrambled around, looking up to see who had hit him.I kicked his jaw, and he groaned out loudly. "Who the hell do you think you are to touch her?" I roared at him."I... I'm sorry," he choked out.Imagine the horror on my face when I found out what happened to my girl this afternoon. I found out where the bastard lived and waited for him."Killian, man, stop! Please!" he begged, his eyes wide with pure terror as he stared up at me.I didn't say a word, my heavy boot connecting directly with his ribs. He curled into a ball on the floor, coughing violently as blood pooled around his mouth. I reached down, grabbed his wrist, and snapped it. His scream echoed round the room."You touched what's mine.

HAZEL POV "What do you mean by that?" I asked softly, turning my body slightly in the seat. "What are you running from him for?" The vulnerability from a second ago vanished instantly. "None of your business, Hazel." "So we can talk about me, but we can't talk about you? That's not fair." "Well, life's not fair. We're going back." "Killian—" "I said drop it, Hazel." He reached forward and twisted the key in the ignition. The powerful engine roared back to life with an expensive hum, completely cutting off the quiet between us. I clamped my mouth shut and turned my face toward the window. My chest tightened with frustration. He could dig into every single corner of my past and save his number on my phone without permission, but a simple question about his life turned him into a jerk... well, he's already one. Ugh... I mentally kicked myself for even thinking about his life. Thirty minutes later, he skidded the car to a halt outside the dorm gate. "Get out," he orde

HAZEL POV My thighs are warm. I tried to blink my eyes open, but I couldn't. A hand slides up my thighs, up to my underwear.My eyes snapped open. I looked down to see Killian's head between my thighs."Oh my God, get your hands off me," I shout, trying to slap his hand away.Killian didn't flinch. His thumb pressed down on my pussy before his eyes slowly locked onto mine."You're loud for someone who slept for twelve hours straight." He lets go of my thighs and stood, his chest bare. I shouldn’t be getting notions now, but Killian’s body is sculpted like a god.“What the hell is wrong with you, Killian? I was asleep,” I croak.The bastard did not answer but kept on staring at me. I looked around the place.“Whose place is this?”“Mine.”“I thought you lived at the fraternity house or that creepy cottage.”“Do I look like the kind of person that would want to be around noise 24/7? This is my home, and I live here alone. And nope, I don’t bring girls here, in case you are wondering.”
