You Were Always Mine

“You can lie to everyone else, little sister. But not me.”

I used to think monsters hid under my bed.
Turns out, mine sleeps down the hall.

Kai Everly isn’t supposed to look at me like that.
He isn’t supposed to touch me.
But every glance burns. Every word drips sin.
And every time I try to pull away, he drags me back in.

What started as hate turned into something darker.
a secret neither of us can bury,
a hunger neither of us can survive.

Because when love is forbidden…
it doesn’t just ruin you.
It owns you.

And Kai?
He’s never been good at letting go.
