Intimate.

Predatory.

He’s looking at…me.

The screen fades to black, leaving only one caption.

Still think this is cute, @dreammafiaqueen?

Oh my god.

I stare.I gulp. Thank fuck he can’t see me right now because I’m incapable of rational thought or speaking intelligible English.

This is better than any book I’ve ever read, and I’m not the only one who notices. The post already has hundreds of likes and as many comments. I read them with interest.

Happily ever afters are overrated, girls. I don’t need an HEA. I just need HIM. Preferably on top of me.

Roses are red, violets are blue, a five-finger necklace if the giver is you

Uh oh.

I click back to my messages, my heart hammering.

You’re making a mockery of me.

Bratvabloodline

I’m not.

Really? What’s next, a moody black-and-white photo of you in a trench coat in a dark alley? Puh-lease.

Bratvabloodline

I don’t need props to prove a point.

Yet you’re parading props all over social media as if begging to get banned

Bratvabloodline

Not props. Tools.

You think you’re scary?
