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

I’m no longer a virgin.                                                                                                                                                                          


"Did you come?" I ask breathlessly. Jared is still inside me. The strain on his face tells me he didn’t, which disappoints me.


"What I witnessed was better than coming." He presses a soft kiss to my lips before he pulls out of me with such gentleness. I’m still sore and bite down on my lip so I don’t hiss. He’s watching me too carefully. "You will be sore for a few days."


I’m tempted to cover myself, but I don’t. Jared rolls the condom off his very large c*ck, which I can’t believe fit inside me, and leaves to dispose of it in the bathroom. I sit up on my elbows and marvel at how perfect every single inch of him is.
