Twisted Obsession

—Kami—

Once upon a time, I kissed my best friend’s older brother, the heir to the Medlock family fortune and the one man who held my heart in his hands. I knew what he was and who he would become, and I didn't care … until he was taken from me.

Charged with murder, I lost him for four years, years I waited because there could be no one else for me, because I loved him with every shred of my broken heart.

Then the heir returned, no longer a boy but a man with hunger in his eyes and a bounty on his head. He warns me to stay away, and I know I should listen, but I was never good at following orders.

One upon a time, I took something I shouldn't have — a kiss from the lips of my sister's best friend. It shouldn't have meant anything, yet it stirred something in me, something hot and primal.

But I know better now. I have seen the evil lurking in the bowels of our city waiting to devour sweet, innocent, little girls who don't belong. She might set my blood on fire and tempt my soul, but Kamari Reid needs to stay away from me, away from my world before the men looking for me find her.

Because here's the thing, I don't give a shit what happens to me, but if they touch her, I will annihilate every last one of them even if I have to burn the city to the ground
