    The new life is boring. I get up. I go to classes. I avoid people. That last one isn’t a new thing for me, though. I never much-liked people before and now that I’m in college, I’m finding that it’s for good reason. People knock on my door, play their music loudly in public, and ask me invasive questions that I pretend I don’t hear. I shut it out because I need to stay on this new path.

But what’s a reformed assassin going to do when he develops a killer crush?

But then I saw her. And at that moment, I knew I had to have her.
Curvy and thick, young and innocent, Charlotte was everything I didn’t know I wanted in life. I was instantly obsessed. Something changed in me in that moment, this need, possession, territorial desire that claimed me until I knew it wouldn’t go away until she was mine.

I’d do it with pleasure.
And by the time I’m done with her, Charlotte would know the lengths I’d go to keep her, not only in my life as my woman but also in my bed… sated.
