When you're about to be released from prison, you have a meeting with the warden. He sits you down and asks if you feel that you've been rehabilitated. If your anger is gone. When it was my turn to be in that room, I looked him dead in the eye and told him, "Yes, sir. I'll never do anything wrong again." It was one hell of a lie. I had plans to do a lot of bad things. A man named Titus Darren set me up to go behind bars in the first place, and now that I was out, it was time to pay him a visit. After all, the only thing sweeter than freedom is a hot heap of revenge. But before I launched my crusade against the bastard who framed me, I checked in with my old club, the Hellions MC. They convinced me that there was a better plan than just knocking Titus's skull in. Turns out that he's got a kid sister, and what better way to shatter his world than to make her utterly, completely mine? I seek her out, seduce her. She falls beneath my touch like I cast a spell over her. I devour her like my life depends on it. But before long, I feel like I'm the one who's spellbound. What are these quivers in my chest?
