Jared
They say love and hate dance together on one line.
My feelings for Layla don’t dance on the line; they destroy it.
It’s been seven years since she disappeared.
And now she’s back, but things have changed—I’ve changed.
I’m no longer the Jared she remembers, the boy who wanted to protect her.
I’m very much my father’s son, and I take what I want, and what I want is Layla.
But this time, I’m keeping her forever.
Layla
Seven years—that’s how long it’s been since I’ve seen him.
After painstakingly putting myself back together, I’m finally ready to start a life without his memory chasing my every step.
Imagine my surprise when my new beginning leads me straight back to him.
Only he’s not the boy I remember.
He’s angry.
Damaged.
Hiding secrets that want to destroy him.
He hates me. He wants me.
I’m not sure I’ll survive the man he has become. His demons threaten to destroy us both.

Broken People Duet (1): Deceive Me

Layla’s breath grows harsh. "I want that too."


I turn the ignition and try to keep to the speed limit.


Layla chews on her bottom lip, and I don’t want to give her time to think. I don’t want her to change her mind. I run my hand under her dress. Her legs part easily for me, and she shimmies down on the seat, giving me access to her folds.


My finger sinks inside her, and her p*ssy coils tightly around my fingers. My c*ck twitches. I extract my finger to run the wetness along her folds before pushing two fingers inside her.


She’s gripping the door, and I’m contemplating pulling over and taking her here and now. I would, I f*cking would, only I remind myself she’s a virgin.


When I extract my hand to shift gears, I press the two fingers that had been buried in her against my lips.


"You taste so sweet." Just like I knew she would.
