Dark Angel

Cara

Everyone knew who he was.

He ran almost half the city, and no one dared mess with him.
Dangerous, dark, murderer.
Sexy as hell.
It was foolish to even consider him, to throw away the chance I had at a better life for what would be one night, one incredible night. I had a plan, and I needed to stick to it to get the hell out of here and away from the darkness that haunted my past.
Although I feared the darkness had settled deep inside me, and I would never truly escape it now.
Whenever I looked, he was always there—watching me.
I was already his. I just hadn’t admitted it yet.

When I fell, that was it.
Letting the anger consume me, I could only hope it would suffocate and eventually kill the pain that lived underneath my skin. I did whatever I wanted without boundaries or second-guessing.
When I saw someone I wanted, I took them.
And Cara, I wanted her.
She looks at me as though she’s hoping to find some kindness behind my dark eyes. She won’t.
There’s nothing good left in me.
I was an angel, and now I’m one of the fallen.
This isn’t a love story.
I don’t have it in me to love.
Not anymore.
