_Dame_J_

I need her. I need to feel every part of her. And this was driving me crazy. Right now, I didn't care if the rest of the world was in chaos, I only want to remain in this moment.
My heart raced fast as I gripped her waist harder, which she kept grinding against me with her face buried in my neck.
"Fuck," I curse while I kissed her collarbone. "You have no idea how much I'm fighting hard not to make love to you right now."
"Lucien."
The way she moaned my name lit up everything deep within me. I could feel the restraint of my cock in my briefs, there was no way I could resist what was coming. I brought her face to mine, slamming my lips on hers. Unclipping her bra and taking it off her completely, my hand palmed her right boob while the other gripped her neck, my lips not leaving hers. She moaned louder.
"I need you to take your pants off," I said with little restraint left in me.
Aurelia took my hand and placed it on the edge of her pants.
"Take it off, Luc."

He hides behind a mask. She hides behind silence. But some truths have fangs.
By day, Lucien Vale is just another quiet college student, trained to survive and to never let his true self show. By night, he becomes the masked figure the underground fears, stalking the man who burned his life to ash.
His mission has never wavered...until he meets Aurelia Winters, the daughter of his greatest enemy.
Aurelia lives under her father's iron grip, her world suffocated by rules, bruises, and secrets she doesn't understand. But when she crosses paths with Lucien, a strange freedom stirs within her and something darker awakens in him.
As vengeance draws Lucien closer to the truth and to her, buried histories claw their way to the surface: the fire, the blood, the family they'd lost.
Now, every secret comes with a choice. When masks fall and the hunt begins, will she run from the monster he is...or the one she's about to become?
