PREYS OF THE BAD BOYS 18: Carnal Pleasure
SCARLETTIn the familiar dimly lit room, the air was thick with anticipation, charged with the promise of forbidden desires and carnal pleasures. My stranger and I stood facing each other, his piercing blue eyes beneath his signature mask, locked intently with mine in a heated gaze that spoke volumes without a single word being uttered.The tension between us crackled like electricity, sending shivers down my spine and igniting a fire deep within me.My stranger exuded an aura of raw dominance, his presence commanding the room as he prowled closer, his gaze never leaving mine. I could feel the heat of his body radiating towards me, drawing me in like a moth to a flame.With every step he took, my heart pounded louder in my chest, the anticipation of what was to come sending waves of desire coursing through me.“You’ve been a bad girl,” his voice was low, husky, dripping with lust and authority.His words hung in the air, a promise of delicious punishment and sinful pleasure. I swallo
PREYS OF THE BAD BOYS 19: She’s Mine
DAMIENThe campus courtyard buzzed with energy as students milled about, their laughter and chatter filling the air. Sam and I stood with the rest of the guys, leaning against a nearby bench as we watched the parade of girls pass by.“Check out that one,” Sam said, nodding towards a group of girls giggling as they walked past. “She’s got a nice ass.”I snorted, rolling my eyes at Sam’s crude remark. “You say that about every girl,” I replied, scanning the crowd for someone more interesting.“Yeah, but this one’s different,” Sam insisted, his eyes fixed on the girl in question. “I mean, just look at her.”I followed his gaze, taking in the sight of the girl’s long legs and curves accentuated by her tight jeans. “Alright, she’s not bad,” I admitted, grudgingly conceding Sam’s point.“But check out the blonde over there,” Tony, one of the other guys chimed in, pointing towards a girl sitting on a bench with a book in hand. “She’s got that innocent vibe going on. Bet she’d be wild in bed.
PREYS OF THE BAD BOYS 19: It was always you
SCARLETTThe car tore through the dimly lit streets, each passing moment filled with mounting dread as Damien ignored my frantic pleas to stop and release me.My voice, a mixture of anger and fear, bounced off the walls of the car, but Damien remained unmoved, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, his silence a suffocating weight in the air."Damien, you son of a bitch, stop this fucking car!" I screamed, my voice cracking with desperation. "I swear to God, if you don't let me out right now, I'll make sure my brother comes after you with everything he's got!"But Damien's smirk only widened in response, a silent challenge to my futile threats. I reached for my phone, fingers trembling as I dialed Aiden's number, but before I could even press call, Damien snatched the device from my hand and flung it to the back seat, leaving me speechless with shock."What the fuck, Damien? What do you want from me?" I demanded, my voice trembling with a mixture of fear and frustration.He remained silent
PREYS OF THE BAD BOYS 20: I’m repulsed by you
SCARLETT"It was you all along, wasn't it?" I whispered, my voice barely audible over the pounding of my heart. "You sick bastard, it was always you."Wordlessly, Damien pulled me towards the house and I didn’t even have it in me to fight back again, my shock evident and clear as day. As soon as we got into the house, he locked the door behind us, and a sense of unease settled in the pit of my stomach.The realization of Damien’s true identity hit me like a ton of bricks, sending shockwaves through my entire being. It felt as though the ground had shifted beneath my feet, leaving me reeling and disoriented.I stood frozen in place, my mind racing as I tried to process the truth. Damien, the man I loathe with all my heart, body, soul and spirit, is the same man who had ignited my deepest desires, giving me mind-blowing and soul shattering orgasm for the past two months.It’s been him all along.Disbelief washed over me in waves, each crashing more forcefully than the last. He was the s
PREYS OF THE BAD BOYS 21: No, you’re not.
SCARLETT"It only felt that way because I didn't know it was you," I said between gritted teeth, my voice barely audible over the pounding of my heart. "Now that I know the truth, I'm repulsed by you." I spat out.His eyes darkened and my heart began to pound vehemently.For a moment, Damien’s wicked smirk faltered, his eyes narrowing as he studied me with a hint of uncertainty. But then, like a switch had been flipped, it was back, more sinister than before, his lips curling into a predatory grin that sent a shiver down my spine.“Oh, is that so?” he mused, his voice dripping with malice as he took a step closer, his gaze darkening with desire. “I think you’re lying to yourself, Princess. Deep down, you know you can’t resist me.”Before I could respond, Damien’s hand shot out, wrapping around my neck with a firm grip that sent a jolt of electricity coursing through me. I gasped, my breath catching in my throat as he pinned me against the wall, his touch sending shivers of anticipatio
PREYS OF THE BAD BOYS 22: You had no right to touch my sister!
DAMIENThe pulsating music thudded through the crowded club, drowning out the clamor of voices around us as I sat with Sam, nursing my drink and trying to drown out the memories of what had transpired earlier with Scarlett.But as much as I tried to push aside the events of that evening, Sam's relentless questioning only seemed to remind me of the gravity of the situation."Damien, dude, you gotta tell me what the hell happened with Scarlett," Sam urged, his voice tinged with concern as he leaned in closer, his eyes searching mine for answers. "Dragging her into your car like that... do you realize how dangerous that was? Aiden's gonna be out for blood."I remained silent, my jaw clenched tight as I struggled to keep my emotions in check. Sam was right – what I had done had been reckless and impulsive, and now the consequences were coming back to haunt me in more ways than one.But as much as I wanted to confide in Sam, to spill the truth of what had transpired between Scarlett and me

But deep down, I knew I couldn't blame him entirely. Who was I kidding? I was practically begging for it, chasing after him like some lovesick puppy even when he warned me to stay the hell away.And let's not forget the mind-blowing pleasure he gave me.

PREYS OF THE BAD BOYS 24: It’s nothing to worry about
SCARLETTAiden’s piercing gaze bore into mine, his eyes dark and intense as we stood facing each other. Despite my best efforts to seem cool and collected, I could feel the nervousness fluttering in my stomach. His presence loomed over me like a raging storm, and I couldn’t help but feel small before him.I forced myself to maintain eye contact, refusing to let him see the fear that churned inside me. But with each passing moment, the tension grew thicker, suffocating me until it felt like I could barely breathe.It was unnerving, to say the least, and I struggled to keep my nerves at bay.But despite my best efforts, I knew I couldn’t hide my unease from him. Aiden was my brother, after all, and he knew me better than anyone else.

SCARLETTAs the days went by, I couldn’t shake off what happened at the club.It felt like it just happened yesterday, even though it’s been a whole week. Aiden has been acting differently since then.

It was unusual, and it left me wondering why.Why the sudden change in
PREYS OF THE BAD BOYS 55: Did You Sleep With Him?
SCARLETT“I said STOP!” I screamed, plunging the entire room into silence.My voice echoed through the room, cutting through the chaos like a knife. For a moment, everything seemed to freeze in place as all eyes turned to me, their expressions a mix of shock and disbelief.Aiden’s fist hung midway in the air, his eyes widening in realization as he registered who stood before him.“Scarlett?” he exclaimed, his voice laced with incredulity. “What the hell?”I stared at my brother right in the eye, shielding Damien from his brutality any further.“You are not going to hurt Damien anymore,” Tears streamed down my cheeks as I spoke to him, trying to get him to stop as I tried to shield Damien from further harm.“Move. Now!” Aiden ordered, his eyes blazing red like someone about to spit fire and brimstone.I squared my shoulders, meeting his gaze with steely determination.“I’m not moving,” I declared defiantly, my voice trembling with emotion. “I’m not going to let you kill Damien.”Aiden
PREYS OF THE BAD BOYS 54: Stop
SCARLETT“I want to formally ask for your permission to date Scarlett,” Damien declared out of nowhere, and my eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets in shock.What!“He didn’t just say what I think he said,” Aurora spoke from beside me, sounding just as awestruck as I felt.“Oh, I think he did,” Maeve responded.“Aiden is so going to kill him,” Aurora chipped in again.I couldn’t even bring myself to speak at that point because my mind was running in wheels and I couldn’t seem to gather my thoughts enough to form a coherent sentence. It was so unexpected that I felt like my brain froze for a moment.What did he mean by that?Was he serious?It felt like the world turned upside down, and I was left feeling confused and unsure. I didn’t know whether to believe him or if he was just messing with me.But at the same time, here he was, in The Vault which wasn’t his territory, standing right in front of my brother, his arch-nemesis, telling him— no asking him for permission to date me.Do
PREYS OF THE BAD BOYS 53: We’ve touched already
DAMIENAs Sam and I sat in the car, parked just outside The Vault, the anticipation hung heavy in the air. Sam’s voice broke through the silence, pulling me back to the present moment.“You sure about this, Damien?” Sam’s tone was cautious, his eyes fixed on mine in the dim light of the car.I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what lay ahead. “Yeah, I have to do this,” I replied, my voice firm despite the uncertainty gnawing at my insides.Sam nodded slowly, understanding etched in his expression. “I get it, man. You really want her back,” he acknowledged, his words carrying a weight of resignation. “But, going through Aiden? Do you think that’s the best idea?”I chuckled wryly, the irony not lost on me.“Yeah, winning her back by conceding to a Royal asshole like Aiden Castle… not exactly my best option,” I admitted, running a hand through my hair in frustration. “But it’s the only way I know how to do it,” I added, my voice laced with core determination.“Well, good luck,” Sam
PREYS OF THE BAD BOYS 52: The Lion’s Den
SCARLETTAs we stepped out of the car, the thumping music hit us, making the whole street feel alive. The club sign lit up the place like a rainbow, and there was a line of people waiting to get in, all hyped up.The club itself looked cool, all shiny and metallic outside, with big bouncers checking IDs at the door. Inside, it was like stepping into a different world. Lights flashed everywhere, and the dance floor was packed with people moving to the beat.The place had different areas, each with its own vibe. Neon signs lit up the walls, and the air was thick with the smell of drinks and sweat. Bartenders were busy mixing cocktails and pouring shots.As we walked around, I couldn’t help but get caught up in the energy of the place. Everyone was having a blast, and it felt like the perfect place to forget about all my worries and just have a good time.“Scar, looks like you are actually having fun,” she stated with a grin, her sharp eye noticing my shifting mood, and I couldn’t help b
PREYS OF THE BAD BOYS 51: I'm Okay
SCARLETT“You mean more to me than you realize. What we had… what we have… it’s different.The echoes of Damien’s voice were still lingering in my mind, haunting me like a ghost from the past.It’s been three weeks since he came to see me in front of my lecture room, and I still couldn’t shake the memory of it, the way his gaze pierced through me as he spoke with a gentleness that took me by surprise.For a brief moment, I allowed myself to believe that maybe, just maybe, he cared about me in some small way. The way he looked at me, the way he spoke to me, the way he was so eager for me to listen to him— it all seemed so genuine, so sincere.But he wouldn’t stop trying to turn it on me, trying to gaslight and guilt trip me. And even after I left him, a part of me wanted to believe that he would learn the error of his ways and come back to seek me.But as the days passed and he failed to reach out to me again, reality came crashing down around me like a tidal wave, washing away any lin
PREYS OF THE BAD BOYS 50: Risking Everything
DAMIEN“Sam, I need you… Whoa!” I stopped short as I walked into Sam’s room unannounced, my words catching in my throat as I caught him smack in between fucking a lady.“What the fuck, dude!” Sam shrieked, covering up the girl beneath him. “Can’t you fucking knock?”My gaze shifted to the woman beside him, and recognition dawned on me. It was the same lady I had seen him making out with months ago, the one he called Emma.Only that she’s not Emma. She’s apparently another one of Scarlett’s friends, Maeve, I think.“What the hell are you still doing here?” Sam’s voice jerked me out of my thoughts. “Get the fuck out!” He pushed me out of the room, closing the door firmly behind him. I stood outside in the hallway, trying to gather my thoughts.Sam is also with someone from the other side?Okay, this just got fucked.After what felt like an eternity, Sam finally came out from his room with Maeve in tow. She gave me a once over, looking extremely unimpressed with me.I can’t say I didn’t

DAMIENI haven’t slept a damn wink since that night with Scarlett. It’s like she’s taken up permanent residence in my mind, haunting my thoughts day and night.

She’s imprinted on my mind, and no matter how hard I try, I can’t shake her loose. I wanted to distract myself, wanting to use other girls to fuck her out of my system, but I couldn’t bring myself to go through with it. Fuck, I can’t even bring myself to fuck another girl without thinking of her.It’s like she’s branded me, marked me as hers and hers alone.She’s ruined me for anyone else, and as much as I hate to admit it, I can’t see myself with anyone but her.I know I screwed things up royally with her, but I have to make things right.

PREYS OF THE BAD BOYS 48: We’ll get through this together
SCARLETT.The first time I was heartbroken was in Highschool.I had a huge crush on one of the seniors and a star athlete in the school, Jason.
