McKenzie Hardware was the center of my universe, but I wanted more. I was lonely, isolating myself from people at every turn.
But when I’d seen Pepper, something in me lit up. She was like the sun in my very dark world, and I wanted that light to wash over me forever.
I wanted her forever.
But I was over a decade older than her and hadn’t ever been in a relationship. What could I offer her aside from my own inexperience and a hardware store?
Despite the fact that I saw myself lacking, that she deserved better than me, I knew I had to find out more about her. I had to make her mine.
She was so much younger than me, innocent and fragile. She was soft and perfect to my hard and rough.
And she transfixed me, mesmerized me. I was infatuated.
It got to the point where I couldn’t stay away anymore. I couldn’t lie to myself that what I felt for her was just a passing curiosity.
It was more. She was more. I needed her to be mine.

    He wanted to own me. I just wanted to be his. JACKSON I wanted Megan from the moment I first saw her, and nothing would keep me from her. I could have been called a bastard for knowing her father would fail in paying me for a mutual business agreement, for knowing I would take Megan as payment. But she was mine and in my world, when I wanted something, I took it. And I wanted her. She was bought and paid for, collateral damage when her father failed to uphold his end of the deal. They all think it’s only for a week. They’re wrong. I’m keeping her. MEGAN My father couldn't fulfill a debt to Jackson King, but Jackson didn't seem to mind, not when he got me as his payment. Having been attracted to the brutal businessman for years, I couldn't help but feel arousal and trepidation at what he had planned. He wanted me for a week, to do with as he pleased. He wanted my virginity. But I knew this was more than just repaying a debt. This was about Jackson wanting to own me, not just my body, but every part of who I was. And the depraved part about it all was the fact that I wanted to give everything to him. I wanted to be his.
