Watching You

He didn’t steal my innocence. He rewrote it in blood. Blair I live by rules. They keep me clean. Untouched. Invisible.

I used to be the girl no one saw. The quiet one. The awkward one. The one who flinched when people got too close.

Then Kane Fischer looked at me. The first to see me instead of through me. And everything I built to keep myself safe began to rot.

He didn’t steal my innocence. He rewrote it in blood. Blair I live by rules. They keep me clean. Untouched. Invisible.

I used to be the girl no one saw. The quiet one. The awkward one. The one who flinched when people got too close.

Then Kane Fischer looked at me. The first to see me instead of through me. And everything I built to keep myself safe began to rot.

He’s my best friend’s older brother. The one with the bruised knuckles and the blacked-out Range Rover. The one who never noticed me—until I changed.

Now he breaks in. To my room. My routines. My skin. He says I belong to him. That he’ll destroy anyone who touches me. That I was made to kneel for him.

Blair Everett is mine. She just doesn’t know it yet.

I’ll break her routines. Her resistance. Her world.

I’ll teach her how to beg. How to obey. How to love me the way I need to be loved. Dark. Twisted. All-consuming.

Because I don’t want her heart. I want her soul. Marked. Owned. Branded.

I’ll carve my name into every inch of her until she forgets who she was before me.
