His body was sin, his cock was sin, and I was a sinner. To keep myself safe, I hide in the world and let life move around me. My new partner, Nathan, isn't safe. Far from it. The darkness coils around him, hidden by a shield created by a blinding smile. But those who live in shadows see past the façade we create. Even in darkness, there is light. A spark that ignites, then explodes. Every filthy word from his mouth, every possessive touch-I crave them. Need them. Violent and passionate and everything I need to fill the void inside me, but one thing is missing. He can never love me. More than my heart is on the line, and I don't know if I'll survive our breach.
