In response, he growls, "You are enough to bring a decent man to his knees and make him commit unspeakable sins." The tension between them crackles with desire and a hint of danger, and their words are laden with unspoken implications.

“We shouldn’t be doing this, Blaze.” I whispered as I tightly clutched his silky shirt, even though it felt so right, even though everything inside me burns brighter when he looks at me— even though my knees buckled right now, when he slowly slotted his firm thigh between my legs. “You know you want it.” He slowly pressed his index finger into my mouth, and my eyes fluttered shut when he pressed an open kiss against my jaw. “But- my brother...” I mumbled around his finger, as I forced my eyes open. He lifted his thigh and pressed it against my core and I let out a stuttered cry as I threw my head back, my knees threatening to give out this time. “... doesn’t have to know.” —————— To hide her dark secrets, Tessy Roper is content with playing the good girl of her college.

The truth was, he had come for me.

Determined to oust me, the fake heiress, she played her part well, putting on a daily show to make me look bad.
