“That’s where you’re wrong. I want to know everything about you. Everything you think about. And youwilltell me. Because you and I, we’re the same. I can feel the rage inside you, and I want to consume it. I want to make you scream until there’s nothing left but your beating heart and the naked truths seeping through your soul. Do you want that, Kayla? Do you want to scream with me?”

My chest rises and falls with chaotic breaths, tears weighing heavy within my eyes.

“Yes.” I nod with a tremble. “I’ve never wanted something more.”

He inhales and holds it in his chest before he sets it free. “Good.” He traces my lips once more. “Go on now. Change. We need to go, even though I don’t want to.”

I realize Chris is probably going to be following me to my parents’ tomorrow, and A won’t be happy.

“Don’t do anything stupid tomorrow.” I quirk a brow.

“Like what?”

He cups my cheek, and every single inch of me grows languid. I fall into his touch like he’s the apple to my Eve.

My eyes fall to a close, and I’m consumed in this tranquil feeling, never wanting it to end. “He’s gonna go to my parents’ tomorrow, and I’m afraid you’re gonna lose your shit.”

He chuckles. “How do you already know me so well?”

“Intuition.” A slow-growing smile falls to my lips as I look back at him.

“So he gets to meet your parents and I don't?”

“Well, it'll be a little hard for me to introduce you. You know, with that mask and all. Mommy would definitely not approve.”

He growls in frustration. “I don't like him, Kayla. And do you know what I do with people I don't like?”

I scoff. “Let me guess? You kill them.”

He chuckles. “Right again, my little wolf.” He runs the back of his hand down my face. “I’ve always considered myself an ethical kind of murderer. Now? Imagining him doing the things I know he wants to do to you? Knowing there’s some part of you that wants him too? Not so much.”

“What would you do if he kissed me?” I play with danger, wanting it. “If he touched me…”

“Touched you where? Here?” He brushes a finger between my thighs, and I let out a moan, wanting him to reach inside and touch my throbbing clit.

“Yes…” I gasp as he pushes a finger into me.

“I’d rip out his heart and make him watch as I burned it, right before he got a taste of the flames too.”

My eyes widen.

His laughter reverberates in every part of my being. “Does that scare you? Do you see me now? The real me?”

I shake my head. “You don’t scare me. You make me feel a little bit safer, knowing you’re there lurking in the shadows, watching me. Wanting me…”

He hisses, grabbing a fistful of my hair. “What did I tell you about tempting the devil? Do you like to play with fire? Do you like the burn? Do you crave it?”

I nod, shame filling my cheeks.

“I do too,” he confesses. “One day you’ll tell me everything you want. Everything youneed. And I’ll be the one to give it to you, even when that’s all I’ll ever have to offer someone like you.”

“Like me?”

He nods once. “We may be the same, but we’re more different than you’d imagine. You have a heart, and mine? Well, let’s just say I never truly had one to begin with.”

I place my palm against the center of his chest, feeling the weight of his pummeling heartbeats. “I don’t believe that. Maybe you do. Maybe that’s all you see, but I see more. There’s more inside you. Maybe you’re the one afraid of it, but I’m not.”

“If only my mother saw it too,” he whispers.
