The Sinner

The first time I saw her, I wanted her.

The second time I saw her, I knew she had to be mine.

Beautiful blonde hair. Cornflower-blue eyes. Body to die for.

All things I knew I couldn’t live without.

But after one night, she ghosted me, leaving me desperate for another taste.

I was usually the one to walk out the door before the morning light came.

This time, it was her, but not without becoming my obsession in the process.

Lily was a mystery.

She had a past shrouded in secrets she was unwilling to divulge.

She was running from something, and I was determined to find out what it was.

And once I did, I’d do anything to protect her.

They called me the sinner for a reason.

Because I wouldn’t hesitate to burn down the world or cross any line to save her.
