"If you hate me so much, say stop... and I will."He dips the brush into yellow paint, lifting it slowly before dragging the tip along my neck. The cold touch makes me shiver, a soft, embarrassed smile betraying me.His focus gaze never leaves the path he's creating, consuming me like I'm something he's memorizing. The brush trails lower, teasing the sensitive hardening beneath my white shirt, now streaked with yellow, and my breath stutters.There's no fight left in me.He directs the brush further down, across my abdomen, causing my stomach to tighten."Birdie, say the word," he murmurs, voice low, rough, and strained between breaths. "Or I'll take all of you right now."My eyes flutter. My lips part, and when his sharp gaze meets mine, I don't look away. He slowly wets his lips, and drags a deep breath, like he's holding himself back.The brush slips lower, past the waistband of my skirt. My inside melts. "I hate you." I try to act strong."Then tell me to stop." he whisper, his eyes traveling to my lips. "I hate you." Something quick shifts in his expression, a bit of danger but that's all.Then he drops to his knees instantly, tearing my skirt in one swift motion.I forget how to breathe, how to think, or how to speak.***Nevaeh is used to starting over, her father's job at least gave her that.

There's one strict rule of law: 'Do not marry the enemy!' I came here knowing Kyle Wallace is off-limits, a brother I do not need and since the first time I saw him, just like him, I have always hated the idea of his existence because nothing sweet ever comes out of his lips, ohh-except his saliva; he was a man with heightened ego. He's a Wallace after all, the blue blood of old money with the greatness of royalty; they all wore their superiority as crowns. The one question is: how many hues lives in one person.

After successfully alienating myself from his world, my new job now confronts me with the devil's face again, six years since he crudely asked me to disappear and shut the door in my face.
