KESTER.

Kasmine was 'chaos personified, her presence pulling every dark and dangerous thread of restraint I had taut. Well, she would always bear the consequences, as far as I was concerned.

She could yell, curse, and claw at the barriers I'd built, but ultimately, she was mine. She just didn't know it yet.

Although I couldn't get my hands on any solid evidence yet, I knew she was hiding something.

Watching her felt wrong in a way that only made me crave it more.

I know she wouldn't like it if she ever got to know about it. But fuck it. Who cares? She should be grateful I didn't have one installed in her bathroom. Just yet.

My door banged open, forcing me to jerk my head in the direction of the noise. Fuck. She was back. And angry.
