"Genie" His voice was barely a whisper, his breath warm against the shell of my ear. "This is so wrong, we can't be doing this." His lips find their way back to mine, trailing the bottom lip with his tongue. "So so wrong" He pulled my lower lips in, biting on them. I stifled a moan. "I know," I managed to say. I could feel the warm slickness ache between my legs. "We shouldn't be doing this. You're my step brother." My body doesn't agree with what my mouth is saying. I snuggled closer into his chest wanting to feel the heat of his bare body against mine. I want his mouth against mine, ravaging me like he had done before. We have gone too far to back out now. "Take me, Ryder" Those were the words he needed. Only those three words. Suddenly, he grips the back of my thighs and lifts me up, forcing my legs to wrap around him. Planting me against the wall, he peers up and look straight into my eyes "You're mine" Then his lips came down on mine. I'm yours. I whispered back in the back of my head. ******** Ryder Saint, for years, has bullied me. Reasons? None. It was like he signed a contract from heaven to make my life hell. From the moment he set his eyes on me, he added my name to his list. Don't be fooled by his last name. It's a charade, he's not anything like it. Everything about Ryder Saint smells evil. His heart, dark. His soul, dark. His aura, dark. Except his face. I should have neglected him like I always have, but I couldn't when our parents decided to tie the knots and he became my stepbrother. He and I, under the same roof.

Hindi kailanman ginusto ni Selene na magkaroon ng kahit anong kinalaman kay Lucian Black — ang malamig at tusong CEO na may masalimuot na pagkahumaling sa kanyang ina, isang bangungot na binalot sa katahimikan at hindi kailanman binigyang-linaw. Buong buhay niyang iniiwasan ang anino ng lalaking iyon… hanggang sa isang internship sa kumpanya nito ang nagtulak sa kanya sa mismong gitna ng mundo nito. Pero may iba pang habol si Lucian. Ganti ang kanyang layunin. Ginagamit niya si Selene bilang kasangkapan — at gantimpala — sa isang mapanganib na laro kung saan bawat titig at bawal na haplos ay may kasamang panlilinlang. Para saktan ang babaeng minsang nagtaksil sa kanya, handa si Lucian na angkinin ang nag-iisang bagay na dapat ay pinrotektahan nito: ang sariling anak. Ngunit malayo si Selene sa inosenteng batang babae na inakala niyang madali niyang malilinlang. At habang unti-unting nabubura ang hangganan sa pagitan ng galit at pagnanasa, ang apoy ay mas lalo pang nagliliyab. Hindi kailanman bahagi ng plano ang pag-ibig. Mas lalo na ang magkaroon ng koneksiyon sa isang tao na minsan ng sumira sa buhay nila. Para kay Selene, si Lucian ang tao na hindi dapat ibigin. Para naman kay Lucian, si Selene ang bagay na gagamitin niya para gumanti. Pero sa bandang huli, ito pa rin ba ang kanilang gusto? O tunay na pag-ibig ang siyang mabubuo?

When your life is starting to mess up not because of what's happening in your sorrounding but because of your own rules. I'd never knew saying my point of view could be a chance for the people to easily judge me. I'd never knew by just loving someone unexpectedly could deeply hurt me more. And I'd never knew saying, "Guilty" could lend me as a happiest person alive. It was hard to accept. It wasn't something I expected that I'm the one, Who's at Fault.
