Lust & Love
Hazel held his heavy gaze, completely paralyzed by the raw, unapologetic boundaries he was setting.
The rules were incredibly harsh. But as she stood there in the dark, a strange, profound sense of relief washed over her.
Love? She was terrified of love. Love had completely destroyed her. She had loved Liam with every single fiber of her being for five years, and all it had given her was a broken life and a hollow, aching chest. She never wanted to feel that kind of vulnerability ever again. She didn't want romance. She wanted exactly what he was offering—a dark, transactional escape.
